Yes, W-O-N and C-H-A-N-G.

是的，W-O-N 和 C-H-A-N-G。

Okay, very good. And could you tell me, do you like your name?

好的，很好你能告訴我，你喜歡你的名字嗎？

Do I like my name? Yes, I do, because usually most people have three syllables in their Korean names.

我喜歡我的名字嗎？是的，我喜歡，因為通常大多數人的韓國名字都有三個音節。

For example, the most common Korean name that I can think of on the spot right now would be 김치훈, which would be three syllables, but mine is two, which kind of makes me feel special.

例如，我現在當場能想到的最常見的韓國名字是 김치훈，這應該是三個音節，但我的名字是兩個音節，這讓我感覺很特別。

So I like my name.

所以我喜歡我的名字。

Okay, very good. And are you a student right now or are you working?

好的，很好你現在是學生還是在工作？

Right now I am a student, but I am not going to school right now because I'm on leave.

現在我是一名學生，但我現在不上學，因為我在休假。

And as of now, I'm in Korea.

現在，我在韓國。

Okay, and could you tell me about your major?

好的，能告訴我你的專業嗎？

My major is business management, and I'm studying in King's College London right now.

我的專業是商業管理，現在正在倫敦國王學院學習。

And, yeah, I mean, it's definitely not a major that I wanted to pick, but I thought that, because back at the moment when I was choosing my major, I guess I didn't really have a lot of choices because I didn't really know what I wanted to do.

是的，我的意思是，這絕對不是我想選擇的專業，但我想，因為在我選擇專業的那一刻，我想我真的沒有很多選擇，因為我真的不知道我想做什麼。

And my parents told me that business is kind of like the go-to major if you don't really know what you want to do.

我的父母告訴我，如果你還不知道自己想做什麼，商科就是你的首選專業。

So that's why I chose it.

這就是我選擇它的原因。

Okay, very good. And what do you like to do when you have some free time?

好的，非常好。你空閒的時候喜歡做什麼？

My free time? I got a couple of things on my list.

我的空閒時間？我有幾件事要做

Well, usually I think I spend most of my time on YouTube watching all these videos.

通常，我覺得我大部分時間都是在 YouTube 上觀看這些視頻。

I watch a lot of League of Legends videos because it's my favorite game.

我看了很多《英雄聯盟》的視頻，因為這是我最喜歡的遊戲。

And also I'm really into music and movies, so I watch a lot of movie review or critic videos and stuff like that.

另外，我非常喜歡音樂和電影，所以我看了很多電影評論或影評人視頻之類的東西。

Very good. Now we're going to talk about the area you live in.

很好現在我們來談談你居住的地區。

The area I live in.

我居住的地區

Yeah, so do you like the area you live in?

你喜歡你住的地方嗎？

Like areas in a city or a specific part?

比如城市中的某個區域或某個特定部分？

Well, maybe more like your neighborhood.

也許更像是你的鄰居。

My neighborhood?

我的鄰居？

Yeah.

是啊

Yeah, I do like my neighborhood because, well, on the broader aspect, I live in Seoul in terms of which city I live in.

是的，我很喜歡我的鄰居，因為從更廣泛的角度來說，我住在首爾，就像我住在哪個城市一樣。

But within Seoul, I live in this area called Gubanpo.

但在首爾，我住在一個叫龜板浦的地方。

And as a lot of people know, Seoul is a super populated area.

很多人都知道，首爾是一個人口超級密集的地區。

I'd even say overpopulated considering how small the city is.

考慮到這座城市如此之小，我甚至可以說是人滿為患。

And despite the fact that Seoul is such a crowded city, my neighborhood is really quiet.

儘管首爾是個擁擠的城市，但我所在的社區卻非常安靜。

And I don't even want to say that it's populated that much.

我甚至不想說人口有那麼多。

It's very quiet, not a lot of, I'd say, noises.

這裡非常安靜，沒有什麼噪音。

And the greatest part of my neighborhood is that you can find pretty much everything, like every other block.

我家附近最棒的地方在於，你可以找到幾乎所有的東西，就像每隔一個街區就能找到一樣。

Like say, for example, if you want to buy like a video game, like a game CD or like a game pack, you'd have to go to like a special neighborhood.

比如說，如果你想買遊戲機、遊戲光盤或遊戲包，你就必須去一個特殊的社區。

Like you don't find that every neighborhood, but we have that.

雖然不是每個社區都有這種情況，但我們有。

We have a lot of cool restaurants.

我們有很多很酷的餐廳。

We even have elementary school, middle school, high school, a lot of institutions for, you know, like private education.

我們甚至有小學、國中、高中，還有很多私立教育機構。

Okay, good. And have there been any changes to your area recently?

好的你所在的地區最近有什麼變化嗎？

Recently? Recently, I don't think so, but I've lived in my neighborhood for almost 20 years.

最近？最近，我不這麼認為，但我在我家附近已經住了將近 20 年了。

And probably the biggest change that, the most noticeable change that happened was that about like 10 years ago, we had this, we had a new subway station installed in our neighborhood.

而最大的變化，最明顯的變化，可能就是大約 10 年前，我們附近新建了一個地鐵站。

The closest one before that was probably about like a mile away.

在那之前，最近的一個大概在一英里之外。

But now we have a subway station like, like 300 meters from my house.

但現在我們家離地鐵站大概有 300 米遠。

So that's super convenient.

這樣就超級方便了。

Another change was that we used to have like a huge department store, but now it's like a, it's like a wedding convention.

另一個變化是，以前我們有一個巨大的百貨商店，但現在就像一個婚禮大會。

So that's one downside.

所以這是一個缺點。

I think that's about it because, yeah, it's a, it's a small neighborhood and it's not even like a, like a transportation hub.

我想也就這樣了，因為，是的，這是一個小社區，甚至不像是一個交通樞紐。

So not a lot of people come.

所以來的人不多。

So you can't really find a lot of, a lot of big changes, but I guess those would be the biggest two.

是以，你真的找不到很多大的變化，但我想這應該是最大的兩個變化。

Okay, perfect. Right. That'll do us for the first part of the test.

好吧，完美。好的第一部分測試就到這裡吧

We'll go on to part two now.

現在開始第二部分。

Okay.

好的

I'll just give you that.

我就給你這個。

All right.

好的

I'll give you a pen there.

我給你一支筆

So now I'll give you one minute to read the question and you can make some notes as well.

現在我給你們一分鐘時間閱讀問題，你們也可以做一些筆記。

Okay.

好的

All right.

好的

Yeah, you can begin there now, anytime.

是的，你現在就可以開始，隨時都可以。

I think that's your minute there now.

我想這就是你的一分鐘了。

Yeah.

是啊

Some notes.

一些說明。

Okay.

好的

Yeah.

是啊

Describe an occasion when the weather stopped you from doing something.

描述一次因天氣原因而無法完成的事情。

Okay.

好的

So I'm going to talk about this, this time when the, when there was a huge typhoon that hit, that struck Korea.

所以，我想談談這次，當一場巨大的颱風襲擊韓國的時候。

I think it was two years ago.

我想那是兩年前的事了。

That was back when I was in the military.

那還是我當兵的時候。

So I think it was my third month as, or actually like the second or first month as a corporal.

我想那是我當下士的第三個月，或者說是第二個月或第一個月。

And I was supposed to go on leave for vacation.

而我本該去休假的。

And I don't remember the exact date, but I know that it was Monday.

我不記得確切日期了，但我知道是星期一。

I was supposed to leave on Monday, but the weather forecast, the media was talking all about this huge typhoon that's going to strike Korea that week.

我本該在週一出發，但天氣預報、媒體都在談論那周將襲擊韓國的巨大臺風。

And our commander decided to not let, to ban the soldiers from going on leave.

我們的指揮官決定不讓阿兵哥休假，禁止他們休假。

And an occasion where there's like a weather or like a disaster forecast, we're not allowed to leave base because we have to maintain a certain amount of force.

如果有天氣預報或災難預報，我們就不能離開基地，因為我們必須保持一定的兵力。

So all the soldiers were devastated, including me, because all we wait about and all we care about is vacations, to be honest with you.

是以，包括我在內的所有阿兵哥都崩潰了，因為老實說，我們等待和關心的就是假期。

And so I was supposed to leave on Monday, but I was banned to leave.

是以，我本該在週一離開，但我被禁止離開。

And we were either going to be let go the day after, depending on how the weather goes.

我們要麼後天就被放走，這取決於天氣如何。

And on Monday, all my mates at the base, all we could possibly do was just desperately pray for the weather to get better and for our commander to make the optimal decision.

週一，我在基地的所有夥伴，我們所能做的就是拼命祈禱天氣好轉，祈禱我們的指揮官做出最佳決定。

And the next day, thankfully, the weather got better and the commander let us all go and we were all able to go on vacation.

第二天，幸好天氣變好了，指揮官讓我們都走了，我們都能去度假了。

Okay, cool. That's two minutes now. All right. All right. So you're all able to go in the end?

好吧現在是兩分鐘了好的 - 好的 - All right.All right.所以，你都可以去到底是什麼？

In the end, yeah, it was a happy ending.

最後，是的，這是一個圓滿的結局。

Very good. And was it common for the weather to affect like proceedings in the military?

很好在軍隊中，天氣影響訴訟程序的情況常見嗎？

Usually when it's not as that bad, they would just let you go if it's just like a slight breeze or a small rain.

通常情況下，如果天氣不是那麼糟糕，只是微風或小雨，他們就會讓你離開。

But this one, when the whole country is talking about this typhoon, it's considered a natural disaster, right?

但這次，當全國上下都在談論這場颱風時，它被認為是一場自然災害，對嗎？

So in a case like that, they'd have to go through a lot of, I don't know, discussions on the high board.

是以，在這樣的情況下，他們必須經過很多，我不知道，在高級委員會上的討論。

And after that, they decide whether to let us go or not. So that would be like a very, very special occasion.

之後，他們會決定是否放我們走。所以那將是一個非常非常特殊的時刻。

Okay, glad it worked out. Right. So we're going to the third part of the test now. Okay, so we'll keep going.

好吧，很高興它的工作了。好的現在我們進行測試的第三部分好的，我們繼續

All right. Yeah. So do you think the weather has much impact on people's daily activities?

好的 - 是的 - All right.好的你覺得天氣對人們的日常活動有影響嗎？

Daily activities? Yeah, definitely. Because we have these, I don't know what the exact term is called in English, but I'm just going to say micro dust because that would be the literal translation.

日常活動？是的，當然。因為我們有這些活動，我不知道確切的英語術語叫什麼，但我想說是微塵，因為這就是直譯。

Actually, every like this time of the year, every year, we have a lot of micro dust that comes sweeped in from China.

實際上，每年的這個時候，我們都會有很多從中國掃來的微塵。

And as of now, the coronavirus is on the main issue.

目前，冠狀病毒是主要問題。

But usually during this time of the year, the weather forecast always talks about how bad the micro dust is.

但通常在每年的這個時候，天氣預報總會說微塵有多嚴重。

And I think that definitely affects people's daily lives because around this time of the year, especially like during spring, people would like to go out to the park and have a picnic with their families.

我認為這肯定會影響人們的日常生活，因為在每年的這個時候，尤其是春天，人們都想和家人一起去公園野餐。

And it's always after winter. So people are so wanting, so desiring to go out and have some time with their beloved ones. Right.

而且總是在冬天之後。所以人們都很想很想出去走走，和心愛的人在一起。沒錯

But like the micro dust, if there is micro dust present outside, people would probably want to stay in instead of going outside.

但是，就像微塵一樣，如果外面有微塵，人們可能會想待在家裡而不願出門。

Okay. And do you think people in your country talk about the weather a lot?

好的你覺得你們國家的人經常談論天氣嗎？

Talk about the weather a lot? Yeah, I think we do.

經常談論天氣嗎？是的，我想是的。

As I previously mentioned, right now, coronavirus is kind of like the main thing that's keeping people inside.

正如我之前提到的，現在，冠狀病毒是讓人們呆在室內的主要原因。

But if it wasn't that, I think that, yeah, we always talk about how bad the weather is.

但如果不是這樣，我想，是的，我們總是談論天氣有多糟糕。

And that would definitely affect our decisions on whether we should go out tonight or today or should we go out the next week.

這肯定會影響我們今晚、今天或下週是否外出的決定。

Okay. And do you think has the weather in your country changed a lot in recent years?

好的。您認為貴國近年來的天氣變化大嗎？

In recent years, I think it definitely did. I think that I'm not really into climate change or the environment, but I could definitely physically feel that the temperature has changed, especially this winter.

最近幾年，我覺得確實如此。我覺得我對氣候變化或環境問題並不感興趣，但我確實能切身感受到氣溫的變化，尤其是今年冬天。

I don't think it was, I think it was possibly one of the warmest winters that I've ever experienced in my 25 years of life.

我不這麼認為，我認為這可能是我 25 年人生中經歷過的最溫暖的冬天之一。

So, yeah, I think global warming is real. It's like an imminent thing that we're facing.

所以，是的，我認為全球變暖是真的。它就像是我們即將面臨的一件事。

And I don't think I could possibly recall the last time it snowed a lot.

我想我已經不記得上一次下大雪是什麼時候了。

I think it snowed like twice this winter and it wasn't even that much.

我想今年冬天大概下了兩次雪，但都沒那麼大。

Right, right. Good, good. And yeah, do you think the weather has much of an effect on tourism?

對，對很好 很好你覺得天氣對旅遊業有影響嗎？

Not just in Korea, but in general, does it affect tourism?

不僅在韓國，在整個世界，這是否會影響旅遊業？

Well, yeah, definitely. I think it does. I'm going to give you a personal example if I can.

嗯，是的，當然。我認為確實如此。如果可以的話，我給你舉個個人的例子。

The last time I went to the Philippines, it was last year, September, and it was during Chuseok, which is like a Korean Thanksgiving.

我上次去菲律賓是去年 9 月，當時正值 Chuseok 節，就像韓國的感恩節。

And it was a long weekend. It was a long holiday. So our family decided to go to the Philippines and spend some vacation there.

這是一個長週末。是個長假。所以我們全家決定去菲律賓度假。

And we chose the worst timing to go traveling because during that time, it was when the Philippines were experiencing a typhoon.

我們選擇了一個最糟糕的時間去旅行，因為在那段時間裡，菲律賓正遭遇颱風。

I have a lot of bad experiences with typhoons. And this one time we got stuck on an island because the boats can't go back to the main island.

我有過很多次被颱風襲擊的經歷。有一次，我們被困在一個小島上，因為船隻無法返回主島。

So stuff like that. If there's a disastrous weather, I don't think people aren't going to go there as much as they usually do.

諸如此類。如果遇到災難性天氣，我不認為人們會像平時一樣不願意去那裡。

Okay, good. And could you tell me what jobs do you think are affected by weather conditions?

好的你能告訴我，你認為哪些工作會受到天氣條件的影響嗎？

The one thing that I could think of on the spot would be construction site workers because they work outdoors.

我能當場想到的就是建築工地工人，因為他們在戶外工作。

And let's say that if it's raining, then it increases the risk. There's more hazard in their working site because it's slippery and higher percentage of getting an injury.

比方說，如果下雨，風險就會增加。他們的工作場所會因為溼滑而更加危險，受傷的機率也會更高。

So I think that the weather would affect people that work outdoors mainly.

是以，我認為天氣對戶外工作的人影響最大。

All right. So yeah, let's start with the feedback. Obviously, really good tests. I'd say your score would be about an 8.5 today.

好的那麼，讓我們從反饋開始。很明顯，測試非常好我覺得你今天的得分應該在8. 5分左右

Some parts, you actually speak better than me. Your pronunciation is perfect. I think your pronunciation puts my pronunciation to shame.

有些地方，你說得比我還好。你的發音非常完美。我覺得你的發音讓我汗顏。

Yeah, pronunciation is very high. Also, vocabulary, you've got good range. You're showing good idiomatic expressions.

是的，發音很標準。另外，詞彙量也很豐富。你的成語表達也很好。

You're saying like, it's my on the spot, my go-to major, transportation hub. These are good to put in your test. Give your score a bit of strength in the vocabulary part of it.

你說，這是我的現場，我的主要交通樞紐。這些都是很好的測試內容。讓你的分數在詞彙部分更有優勢。

Fluency, yeah, also very strong. Some instances of hesitation, maybe that would pull you down slightly towards that. But again, very high level of fluency.

流暢性，是的，也很強。有些猶豫不決的情況，也許會使你的水準稍有下降。但同樣，流利程度非常高。

Grammar-wise then, again, the mistakes are minor. The mistakes are small. Let's just have a look at a couple of them.

文法方面的錯誤也是很小的。錯誤很小。讓我們來看看其中的幾個。

When you talked about your neighborhood, you said maybe one thing you didn't possibly like were some noises in the area.

當你談到你的鄰居時，你說你可能不喜歡的一件事是這裡的一些噪音。

I'd probably just say noise instead of noises, like collectively. Noises, if you put it plural, it's more like one noise and two noises.

我可能會說 "噪音 "而不是 "噪聲"，就像 "集體 "一樣。噪音，如果用複數，更像是一個噪音和兩個噪音。

Yeah, that didn't really make sense.

是啊，這可說不通。

That's a small one, that's a small error. Also, when we talk about the subway station, you used the verb, you said the subway station was installed.

這是個小問題，是個小錯誤。另外，當我們談到地鐵站時，你用了動詞，你說地鐵站已經安裝好了。

I would say, it's better to say opened when you talk about an establishment or transportation. I would say like it opened, the restaurant opened, the subway station opened, new complex opened.

我想說的是，在談到機構或交通工具時，最好說 "開業"。我會說，比如它開業了，餐廳開業了，地鐵站開業了，新綜合體開業了。

Installed sounds a little bit more like something inside a building, like the air conditioning was installed or some sort of appliance was installed.

安裝 "聽起來更像是建築物內的東西，比如安裝了空調或某種電器。

Come to think about it, yeah.

仔細想想，是的。

Yeah, these are small issues. Okay. I was, one thing, a couple of small prepositions. You said I was banned to leave. I would say banned, always comes banned from.

這些都是小問題好吧，我是，有一件事，幾個小介詞。你說我被禁止離開。我想說的是 "禁止"，總是 "禁止離開"。

From.

來自

From, I-N-G.

From, I-N-G.

Yeah.

是啊

Banned from leaving.

禁止離開。

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Banned from, I-N-G, always the way it is. Other small thing, one question I asked, I said like has it changed? And you said it did, should be it has.

是啊，是啊，沒錯。被禁止，I-N-G，總是這樣。還有一件小事，我問了一個問題，我說它變了嗎？你說變了，應該是變了。

It has.

它有

Has it changed? Yeah, it has. Has it done this? So these are like a few small errors with the grammar, but all in all, nothing really much to worry about.

有變化嗎？是的，變了。它這樣做了嗎？這些都是文法上的小錯誤，但總的來說，沒什麼好擔心的。

Okay.

好的

Or I think, you know, anyone speaking a second language for 15 minutes, you have to make a few errors, you know, so that's nothing to worry about, but yeah, really good score, really good test.

或者我覺得，你知道，任何人說第二語言 15 分鐘，都會犯一些錯誤，你知道，所以這沒什麼好擔心的，但是，是的，非常好的成績，非常好的測試。

Thanks for taking part.

感謝您的參與。

Thank you for the feedback.

感謝您的反饋。

Yeah, cheers.

是啊，乾杯。
