Part 1

1. Which device do you prefer, a tablet or a laptop?

definitely prefer STH over STH ELSE

more versatile for various tasks

Overall, a laptop is more valuable bc it supports a wider range of PC programs.

 

2. When did you use a laptop or a computer for the first time?

as far as I remember,

I first used a computer when I was 10 years old, during my third year of elementary school.

it was part of the required curriculum at my school. My first experience was in a computer class, where we were taught the basics, like how to use a computer, create and edit files, and type. I learned all of that at school.

 

3. What do you do when you don't know how to use a particular software?

Whenever I don't know how to use a particular software, I usually just google it. bc there's plenty of information available online.

4. What would your life be like without a laptop or any other form of technology?

Honestly, I can't even imagine what my life would be like without technology, as it's such a big part of my daily routine. For instance, I rely on my cellphone alarm to wake up, and without it, I'd need to use a physical clock. Also, for work communication, I often use platforms like Teams. Without those systems, I'd have to communicate in person, which would be both frustrating and time-consuming. Life without technology would definitely be very different and much more challenging. 

 

5. Do you have a talent that you would like to improve in the future?

Frankly, there are many talents I'd like to improve, but one area I'd focus on is my language and communication skills. At times, I struggle to clearly express my ideas, so I'm determined(결심한) to work on this skill, especially this year.

Part 2

Describe a place you would recommend for others to live in. You should say:

– what the place is

– when and where you heard about it

– what it looks like

 

 

I'd like to talk about a place I would recommend for others to live in, which is Iisan in Gyeonggi Province. 

It's located close to the capital city, Seoul and other major city. 

I first heard about Ilsan around 10 years ago when one of my friend moved there. I visited to meet my friend, and I was really impressed by the area. 

 

I think it is an excellent place to live because it's peaceful and not too crowded. Although it's not located in the center of the city, it's still well-connected and organized, making it a comfortable place to live. The transportation system is really good, so commuting is easy, whether you're traveling to Seoul or other nearby areas.

 

+너무 짧게 끝난 것 같다면 또다른 특징 대기.

In addition to its covenience, the province offers beautiful natural surroudings, which bring a sence of tranquility to the residents. 

 

+ 1분 30초밖에 안된다면?? 30초를 더 말해야 한다면?? -> 예시 말하기!

For example, there's a beautiful park called 일산호수공원 which literally means Ilsan lake park in Korean. I visited there during my trip. It has scenic walking trails along the huge lake and fountains , and I found it so relaxing to take a stroll there in the evening. 

 

Finally, the housing options there are very nice, making it an ideal place for families or individuals looking for a peaceful yet well-connected place to settle down, especially for those who prefer avoiding the hustle and bustle of city life. 

 

 

 

 

 

Part 3

1. How important is the choice of a place to live?

Well, there's no question that the choice of a place to live is significant b/c it directly impacts my lifestyle. If the place isn't suitable or comfortable, it can make life feel difficult, especially after a long workday. 

Most of our daily life takes place in our living environment, so it's crucial that it's a place where I feel comfortable and happy. 

For example, if I live near nature and a park, it would significantly improve my quality of life. I'd be able to enjoy the outdoors, go for walks, or just relax in the park whenever I want. 

However, if my neighborhood lacks such natual spaces, I'd probably feel a little disconnected or unhappy, as I wouldn't have easy access to the calming effects of nature.
