Part 1
Examiner
Are you a patient person?
Candidate
No, I'm not a very patient person. I prefer to see results quickly and immediately, so I often get impatient when a project takes too long. For example, I try to finish tasks ahead of schedule and feel frustrated by delays.
Examiner
What is it that makes you feel impatient?
Candidate
I feel impatient when I'm insecure about the future because I worry I will miss opportunities. In our society, we have to prove our value by by showing wonderful discovery. So. Insecurity makes things more stressful.
Examiner
How do you feel when you have to do something for a long time?
Candidate
As I say before, I feel insecure when I have to do something for a long time because I prefer to finish my task in a short time short term because it makes me feel more rewarding and more secure.
Examiner
Does your job require you to be patient?
Candidate
I am a university student so my job is to focus on my studies. I think I need to be patient because learning complex subjects takes time and rushing usually leads to superficial understanding rather than long term progress.
Examiner
Are you more patient now than when you were a child?
Candidate
Yes, of course I'm I'm more patient person than when I was a child. When I when I was young, I wanted delicious snacks and I couldn't wait for them. I wanted to eat them instantly, immediately. But now I learn moderation.
Are you a patient person?
Score: 78.0Suggestion: 답변은 직접적이고 예시도 있어 괜찮습니다. 다만 같은 의미의 표현이 반복되고 문장이 조금 길어 자연스러움이 떨어집니다. 문장을 2~3개로 간결하게 나누고, 연결어(for example 대신 such as, so)와 좀 더 다양한 어휘(impatient 대신 restless, frustrated 대신 annoyed 등)를 사용하세요. 또한 마지막 예시는 구체적인 상황(어떤 프로젝트인지)을 덧붙이면 더 설득력 있습니다.
Example: Not really — I tend to be restless because I like quick results. For instance, when working on group assignments, I often try to finish my part early and get annoyed by team members who delay their work.
What is it that makes you feel impatient?
Score: 70.0Suggestion: 의미 전달은 되지만 문법 오류와 어색한 표현(‘showing wonderful discovery’)이 보입니다. 이유를 말할 때는 논리적 연결어(therefore, because, which makes)를 사용하고, 모호한 표현은 구체적으로 바꾸세요. 또한 한두 문장으로 요점을 말한 뒤 세부예시로 확장하는 구조가 좋습니다.
Example: I get impatient when I'm insecure about the future because I fear missing opportunities, which makes me anxious. For example, worrying about job prospects can make me rush decisions instead of planning carefully.
How do you feel when you have to do something for a long time?
Score: 66.0Suggestion: 문장이 장황하고 반복이 있습니다(‘because’가 두 번 등장). 자연스러운 흐름을 위해 주제문 + 이유 + 구체적 예시의 구조를 사용하세요. 불필요한 반복을 줄이고 단어 선택을 다듬어 명확하게 표현하세요 (rewarding 대신 satisfying 등).
Example: As I mentioned, I feel insecure doing long-term tasks because I prefer quick results. For instance, when a research project stretches over months, I get restless and prefer breaking it into short milestones to feel more accomplished.
Does your job require you to be patient?
Score: 85.0Suggestion: 구조가 명확하고 논리가 잘 전달됩니다. 다만 문장을 더 간결하게 하고 연결어를 조절하면 더 자연스럽습니다. 또한 구체적인 예시(어떤 과목이나 상황에서 인내가 필요한지)를 추가하면 더 설득력 있습니다.
Example: I'm a university student, so patience is important for my studies. For example, mastering advanced mathematics requires steady practice over months; rushing through problems often results in only a superficial grasp.
Are you more patient now than when you were a child?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: 좋은 비교 구조지만 중복된 단어와 어색한 어순(I'm I'm, when I when I)이 있어 유창성이 떨어집니다. 과거와 현재를 대비할 때는 한두 문장으로 간결하게 정리하고, 현재의 변화에 대한 구체적 예시(어떤 행동이 달라졌는지)를 제시하세요.
Example: Yes — I'm much more patient now. As a child I couldn't wait to eat snacks immediately, but now I practice moderation and can wait, for example, to save treats for special occasions.
× No, I'm not a very patient person.
✓ No, I'm not a very patient person.
This sentence is already correct; no structural change needed.
× I prefer to see results quickly and immediately, so I often get impatient when a project takes too long.
✓ I prefer to see results quickly and immediately, so I often get impatient when a project takes too long.
This sentence is grammatically correct; present participles are not required here.
× For example, I try to finish tasks ahead of schedule and feel frustrated by delays.
✓ For example, I try to finish tasks ahead of schedule and feel frustrated by delays.
This sentence is correct; parallel verbs ('try' and 'feel') are used properly.
× I feel impatient when I'm insecure about the future because I worry I will miss opportunities.
✓ I feel impatient when I'm insecure about the future because I worry I will miss opportunities.
No reflexive pronoun error; sentence is correct.
× In our society, we have to prove our value by by showing wonderful discovery.
✓ In our society, we have to prove our value by showing wonderful discoveries.
The errors: double 'by' (typo) and singular 'discovery' should be plural 'discoveries' to match the general idea. Use 'by showing' + plural noun to indicate examples of impressive achievements.
× So. Insecurity makes things more stressful.
✓ So, insecurity makes things more stressful.
Fragment: 'So.' as a separate sentence is awkward. Combine into one sentence with a comma. This keeps cohesion and correct sentence structure.
× As I say before, I feel insecure when I have to do something for a long time because I prefer to finish my task in a short time short term because it makes me feel more rewarding and more secure.
✓ As I said before, I feel insecure when I have to do something for a long time because I prefer to finish my tasks in the short term; it makes me feel more rewarded and secure.
Tense: 'As I say before' should be past 'As I said before' because referring to earlier in the conversation. Number agreement: 'task' -> 'tasks' for generality. Word order and redundancy: 'in a short time short term' is incorrect; use 'in the short term'. 'Feel more rewarding' is wrong because 'feel' requires adjective: use 'feel more rewarded' or 'get more reward'. Use a semicolon or conjunction to improve sentence flow.
× I am a university student so my job is to focus on my studies.
✓ I am a university student, so my job is to focus on my studies.
Missing comma before coordinating conjunction 'so' connecting independent clauses. Adding a comma improves sentence structure and readability.
× I think I need to be patient because learning complex subjects takes time and rushing usually leads to superficial understanding rather than long term progress.
✓ I think I need to be patient because learning complex subjects takes time, and rushing usually leads to superficial understanding rather than long-term progress.
Add comma before 'and' for clarity. 'Long term' used as a compound adjective or adverb should be hyphenated: 'long-term'. Sentence is otherwise correct.
× Yes, of course I'm I'm more patient person than when I was a child.
✓ Yes, of course I'm more patient than when I was a child.
Errors: duplicated 'I'm' (typo) and missing article 'a' before 'more patient person' or better omit 'person' and say 'more patient'. Corrected sentence removes duplication and uses proper comparative structure.
× When I when I was young, I wanted delicious snacks and I couldn't wait for them.
✓ When I was young, I wanted delicious snacks and couldn't wait for them.
Remove duplicated phrase 'When I' (typo) and drop the redundant second 'I' before 'couldn't' for smoother structure.
× I wanted to eat them instantly, immediately.
✓ I wanted to eat them instantly.
Using both 'instantly' and 'immediately' is redundant. Choose one adverb. The original sentence is otherwise grammatically correct.
× But now I learn moderation.
✓ But now I have learned moderation.
Tense: 'now I learn moderation' sounds unnatural; use present perfect 'have learned' to indicate a change up to the present. Alternatively 'now I practice moderation' is also correct.
