2007년 10월 19일(미국) / 20일(한국) 스피킹 & 라이팅 후기분석

***1 번:

Type 1: Describe a quality of a good friendship among honesty, a sense of humor and loyalty. Use specific reasons and details in your answer.

Tip 1: Honesty

I think of honesty as the best quality of a good friendship. / I have a bunch of reasons on this matter. / Being honest makes us trust each other, which also makes us keep a good friendship. / For example, when I was a high school student about 3 years ago, one of my best friends often deceived me very intentionally. / Finally, the time we talked each other was getting more decreased / and then we had to break our friendship / because we couldn’t make any trust on our friendship. / Since then, I’ve been considering honesty as the best quality to keep a good friendship. / Even if other things are also important, / however, if we’re not honest as friends, / we never ever rely upon each other / and then we will also never trust each other…… /

Tip 2: A sense of humor

A: Being humorous makes us reduce conflicts we have. / In my point of view, having a sense of humor means being patient. / I believe (that) if I’m seldom angry to my friends who even make some intentional mistakes to me, / one day they could realize what I was thinking about truly, which will also make us keep a good friendship…… /

Tip 3: Loyalty

I think of loyalty as the best quality of a good friendship. / Loyalty means having trust or diligence each other. / Therefore if we have loyalty each other, / we will trust each other “especially” when having a very important promise or opening a top secret each other. / However, if we don’t have any loyalty between friends, / we’ll never trust each other and never make anything better between friends. / From my personal experience, when I was a high school student about 3 years ago, / I had to break my friendship with one of my best friends who often broke our promise intentionally or opened our top secret to other friends with ease. / Day by day, we did not trust each other, / and then eventually we were getting angrier each other. / Since then, I’ve been considering one of the most important factors of keeping a good friendship is “definitely” having loyalty each other……/

Reading Passage:

Elimination of Voluntary Tutoring Planned

University has decided to discontinue its voluntary teaching service for children. / The main reason for this decision is that only a few children attend the class and this system is very expensive to operate. / Reason 1: Recently, the center has been moved off campus near library surrounding student center. / Reason 2: The money saved by eliminating the free teaching service will be invested on other activities such as Home-Coming Day for graduate students……

Conversation & Sample Response

In this conversation, / the female student strongly disagrees with the statement given by the University. / It says that the University has a plan to eliminate its voluntary teaching service for children. / However, she says that / the real reason why only a few students have participated in the voluntary work is because the place has been moved out of campus. / So, it has been so hard for students to volunteer she says. / She also says that it makes the situation much worse. // Second, she really insists that / the University should keep the voluntary work for the students who want to make a big achievement by teaching children. / Also, she believes (that) / if students do so, they’ll have a positive influence on that when they get a job. / That’s why she is not in favor of the University new policy……/

***4 번: “Co-evolution or Symbiosis”

Reading Passage:

공생에 관한 정의와 함께 동물과 식물은 종종 서로 보호 받기 위해서 도움을 준다는 내용이 설명됩니다.

Lecture:

교수는 공생의 정의를 다시 한번 언급하면서, / 자연에서 종종 볼 수 있는 현상이라고 소개합니다. / 그는 개미와 아카시아를 예시로 삼고, / 아카시아는 개미에게 살 곳을 제공해주고, / 개미는 아카시아를 다른 해로운 곤충으로부터 보호한다고 설명합니다. /

Co-evolution의 예: Hummingbirds and Ornithophilous Flowers

Hummingbirds and ornithophilous flowers have evolved to form a mutualistic relationship. / It is preval‎ent in the bird’s biology as well as in the flowers’. / Hummingbird flowers have nectar chemistry associated with the bird’s diet. / Their color and morphology also coincide with the bird’s vision and morphology. / The blooming times of these ornithophilous flowers have also been found to coincide with hummingbirds' breeding seasons. /

Definition of Co-evolution

Symbiosis played a major role in the co-evolution of flowering plants and the animals that pollinate them. Many plants that are pollinated by insects, bats or birds, have very specialized flowers modified to promote pollination by a specific pollinator that is also correspondingly adapted. The first flowering plants in the fossil record had relatively simple flowers. Adaptive speciation quickly gave rise to many diverse groups of plants, and at the same time, corresponding speciation occurred in certain insects groups. Some groups of plants developed nectar and large sticky pollen while insects evolved more specialized morphologies to access and collect these rich food sources. In some taxa of plants and insects the relationship has become dependent, where the plant species can only be pollinated by one species of insect.

***5 번: “Registration for Class”(수강신청)

Problem:

여학생은 듣고 싶은 Geology Class가 있는데, / 이미 수강신청이 꽉(full) 차서 더 이상 수강신청(sign up)을 할 수 없다고 불평합니다. /  왜냐하면, 그녀는 그 수업에서 진행하는 Field Trip에 관심이 많다고 합니다.

Two Possible Solutions:

그러자, 남학생은 “그래도 일단 수업이 시작하는 첫 수업에 들어가봐!” 하고 제안합니다. / 왜냐면, 이미 등록하고 안 오는 학생들이 종종 있으니깐, 그 학생들이 수업을 포기하면(Cancel), Room이 생길 거라고 설명합니다. / 그러나, 여학생은 불확실한(risky) 것에 모험을 하고 싶지 않다고 설명합니다. // 그러자, 남학생은 비슷한 수업(Another Class)을 수강하면 어떠니? 하고 묻습니다. / 그러자 여학생은 대답하기를, / 꽤(quite) 비슷한 수업이 있긴 한데, / 여학생이 원하는 Field Trip은 없다고 하면서 그 수업은 현재 수강할 수 있다고 말합니다. /

Which one is the better one of the two and why?

Given the choice between two possible suggestions, I would choose the second case because I’m pretty sure that it is the better one of the two for his problem.

Actually, since this kind of problem is very common on campus, so, they could understand each other and also they can have a group study to finish the project more efficiently.

Reference: The term relict is used to refer to surviving remnants of natural phenomena. Compare relic which is used to refer to human artifacts or remains.

• In biology a relict is an organism that at an earlier time was abundant in a large area but now occurs at only one or a few small areas. The distribution of a relict is characterized as endemic. The tuatara is an example of a relict. It now lives only on a few small islands off New Zealand. The term "relict" can also refer to an ancient species that survives while related species go extinct. The horseshoe crab is an example of this type of relict. Horseshoe crabs are most closely related to the eurypterids, which disappeared in the Permian-Triassic extinction event.
• In ecology, an ecosystem which originally ranged over a large expanse, but is now narrowly confined, may be termed a relict.
• In geology, the term "relict" refers to structures or minerals from a parent rock that did not undergo metamorphosis when the surrounding rock did, or to rock that survived a destructive geologic process. For example, the wavy patterns often seen in marble are relicts of layering in the original limestone.
• In agronomy, a relict crop is a crop which was previously grown extensively, but is now only used in one limited region, or a small number of isolated regions.
• In Historical linguistics, a relict is a word that is a survival of a form or forms that are otherwise archaic.
• A relict was also an ancient term for a widow, but has come to be a generic or collective term for widows and widowers.
