OPIC 20. 나의 신분증 발급 에피소드 와 사용처 설명

I was a high school student when I got my first ID card.

It was a national ID card which proves that you are now a grownup.

The national ID card means that you can watch any kind of movie at the theater, including movies that require you to be at least 18 years of age.

But it takes a couple more years to be able to drink alcohol or to go clubbing.

It also takes another year to vote.

When I got mt first ID card, I just felt weird.

I didnt feel like  I was grownup yet.

In constrast, I remember some of my friends were very excited and threw parties to celebrate.

These days, I always carry at least one form of ID.

I usually carry my driver's license as I often drive my car. Personally, I like the moment when I take out my passport at the airport.

I feel like I am an important person whenever I get on an airplane.

OPIC 19. 나의 건강 관리법 소개

I am not really an active person, so I dont enjoy sports that much.

But I take a walk for 30 minutes every day.

I believe that is a good way to maintain my health.

I also try to drink less coffee and drink fresh juice instead.

I am quite strict with my weight. I don't snack very much or eat fast food.

I prefer to have homemade meals with lots of vegetables.

I love to cook, and I create my own recipes to make the dishes healthier.

To improve my emotional health, I like to catch up with my close friends to share my thoughts and feelings, especially during tough times.

I always try to let go of my sorrows and to hope for a better future.

This way, I am able to manage my life so that it feels brighter and more fun.

Listening to a good piece of music or watching a nice movie is also a great way to lift up my heart.

OPIC 18. 내주변 가장 건강한 사람 소개 와 이유 설명

The healthiest person around me is probably my mother.

She is in her late 50s, but she is still very athletic and in perfect shape.

I admire her since I know how hard it is to maintain your figure.

I am in my late 20s and go to the gym on a regular basis, but I dont think I can beat my mom when it comes to exercising.

She hikes 1 to 2 times a week and goes swimming whenever she has free time.

She also avoids eating junk food and sweets.

In addition, she is pretty strict when she cooks.

She cuts off most of the fat from meat and always adds a lot of vegetables to her meals.

Thanks to her efforts, none of my family members is overweight.

Plus, we all enjoy sports and sleep enough to reduce our stress.

OPIC 17. 해외 여행을 좋아하는 이유 고려할 점 설명

I think people travel overseas because they want to experience different lifestyles and cultures.

In my case, I love to travel to other countries because I can meet new people and broaden my horizons.

Whenever I meet nice people while I travel, I exchange email adress and keep in touch with them.

Also, I love to taste local food and enjoy the exotic view of other cities.

I prefer to visit countries that use English since I can the communicate with people.

Some of the coutries I've visited are the US, the UK, and Canada.

When I visit other countires, I also consider the weather and safety.

I guess these are some of the things people consider when they travel abroad.

OPIC 16. 국내 출장 이야기 및 어려움 설명하기

I go on domestic business trip every quarter.

My company has branch offices in 16 other cities, and the regular conference is held in different regions each quarter.

I always attend the conference on behalf of my team.

I make presentations on the outcome of our marketing strategies and sales record.

Going on a business trip requires a lot of work in addition to my office work, so it's tiring.

I often stay at the office all night to finish my work when I have an upcoming business trip.

However, attending the conference is a great way to develop my business skills. I learn a lot about the market and come up with fresh ideas.

Whenever the trip is over, I always realize that there's no gain without pain.

OPIC 15. 조깅할때 부상 방지 하는 방법 설명하기

I think the most important thing you should keep in mind is to choose the right shoes.

If you dont wear the right shoes, you are more prone to injuries like sprained ankles.

You will also have sore feet.

In addition, it's always important to do enough warm up exercises before jogging.

Otherwise, you will feel muscle pain all over your body. I always stretch for about 10 to 15 minutes before I jog.

This way, you can relax your muscles and prepare your body to jog.

I also take a bottle of water when I jog.

It is important to drink enough water while you exercise.

This is especially important on sunny days since you might sweat a lot, so it's good to bring something to drink.

Finally, if you are sensitive to sunlight, I recommend that you apply enough sunscreen products on your face and wear either sun glasses or a cap.

That way, you will be able to avoid getting a sunburn and developing freckles.

OPIC 14. 좋아하는 배우를 만났을때 어떨지 설명하기

It would be amazing to meet my favorite movie star in person.

If I had to choose, I would definitely say Brad Pitt.

I am sure you know who he is.

He is a famous Hollywood star and is married to another hot celebrity, Andelina Jolie.

They are an awesome couple. If I got to meet Brad Pitt, I would ask how he is able to manage both his career and his family successfully.

I mean, he has had such a long career, and he still has a very nice image.

Not many movie stars are able to maitain their fame for so long.

Also, he has a bunch of kids-both adopted and biological-with Angelina Jolie.

Being a good father must be very challenging as well as being a good actor.

I'd want to know if he has his own philosophy on how to be a good father.

Plus, I'm very curious to know if he wants to be in any Korean movies in the future.

I wonder if he knows any Korean actress.

Well, I guess these are a few things I would ask if I got to meet Brad Pitt.

OPIC 13. 주택시장 문제점 이야기하기

Well, if I were to name a problem in korea's housing market, it would be the population problem.

People in this country are aging.

There are fewer people getting married these days, and many couples dont want to have babies.

As a result, there are many new apartment buildings despite the fact that the population is not growing.

Although the price of housing is descreasing sharply, people my age till have a hard time finding places to live.

Most of my recently married friends have that problem.

They cant buy a house, or the monthly rent is so high that they cant save enough money.

Overall, I think Korea's problem of an aging society is tsrongly related to its housing problem.

OPIC 12. 도구 기술이 음악에 미치는 영향 비교

There have been a lot of changes in the ways we use gadgets to listen to music.

I remember that the DC player was a very popular device to listen to music in the 90s.
Also, a small cassette player called the Walkman was loved by people of all ages.

These days, gadgets have become much smaller and much more fuctional.
Many people carry their smartphones to listen to music.
Most of the smartphones are only the size of your palm, so they are very light.
With a smartphone, you can also access the Internet, watch movies, chat for free on kakaotalk, and do much more.
Advanced technology has even simplified the composing process.
A close friend of mine is a composer, and he uses his iPad to make music.
He says that it has become a lot easier to write music because the device has all kinds of different unstrumental sounds.

Overall, I think current technology has brought many changes in the way people play and listen to music.

OPIC 11. 한국 은행 과거 현재 비교

I can not really remember the banks I visited during my childhood.
I dont think I went to a bank until became high school student.
Of course, I realize that there must be some changes that have occurred at banks since then.

One of the changes is the hours of service.
Korean banks used to be open from 9 am to 4:30 pm.
However, these days, they are open until 4 pm.

Advanced technology has also brought many changes to the bank system.
In the past, there weren't any Internet banking or mobile banking survices, but these days, all Korean banks use both systems.

In addition, work that used to be performed by bank tellers is now done by machines.
It has become more convenient to pay bills and to check one's account.

These are some of the changes that have occurred at Korean banks.

OPIC 10. 한국 대중 교통 장단점 비교

The main means of public transportation in Korea are buses, subways, and taxis.
I often take buses and subways.
They are both very economical and convenient, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

I prefer to take buses when the weather is nice.
I love to enjoy the view outside and to listen to music.
However, on rainy days or during rush hour, the traffic is really bad, and there is no way to arrive at my destination on time.
So, when I commute to work, I usually take the subway since it is always on time.
If there's one thing I dislike about the subway, there are always some people selling products and making noise.
Other than that, I am happy with the Korean subway system.

When I am on the subway, I always use my smartphone to read online article or to watch the news.
Sometimes I take a nap when I feel really tired.

OPIC 09. 여행 패턴 비교 과거 현재

I like to travel, but it is hard to talk about how the way I taravel has changed.

When I was young, I simply followed my parents.
Thet took care of all the procedures, so all I had to do was pack my bag.
These days, I travel alone, so I make sure I have my ID card and also see if I have enough cash and my credit cards.
I also plan my travel itinerary and pack my bag.

On the other hand, I think the biggest change in how I tavel these days is probably the e-ticketing system.

Thanks to advanced technology, the ticketing process has become very simple.
It's way easier to travel by myself.

OPIC 08. Compare Walking Benefit

There are many benefits to jogging.

First of all, it doesn't cost much.
As long as you have a pair of sneakers, you are free to jog.
In addition, it's not limited to certain places or time.
You are able to jog in any public area anytime.
Well, of course for females, it would be safe to run with someone when it gets dark.

Another reason I like jogging is that I can enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery when I jog at the park.
I used to work out at a gym when I was youger, but, since I now jog at the park, I can't imagine myself running on a treadmill again.

I highly recommend jogging to those who want to be healthy and to stay fit.
I guess these are some of the benefits of jogging.

OPIC 07. Compare Personal training and Team training

I definitely prefer the team training program because it gives me an opportunity to interact with my co-works.
We can exchange different ideas and expand out knowledge through brainstorming.
Most of all, I love to communicate with people.
It's just more dynamic and fun.

In the leadership class that's held every Thursday, we learn how to make our presentations more appealing and engaging.
There are always special lecturers from various fields, and the class becomes a window to the world.
We also learn how to be more persuasive in our negotiations.

My favorite part of the program is the class on maintaining your appearance.
It may sound like this has nothing to do with leadership, but they teach you how to work on your own image to gain more credibility.
I have learned a lot from the class.
It's cool to see the make-overs of my co-workers as well.

Overall, I think team training program has a lot more benefits than the individual training program.

OPIC 06. Situation Solving @ Can't Promise

Hi, Jay.
This is Joonsik.
I'm leaving a message since you are not picking up the phone.

I know we are supposed to sign up for the slim fitness center tonight.
I'm really sorry, Jay, but can I take a rain check?
I have a friend visiting Seoul this week, and she's arriving this evening.
She needs someone to pick her up at the airport and guide her to the hotel.
She's here to sightsee and knows no one else but me.
I thought her arrival time was late at night, but I just found out it is actually 6 pm.
I am sorry again.

I will be free on Thursday anytime after work, so please let me know if you are available.
Talk to you soon. Bye.

OPIC 05. Problem soving @ Party Food

Hello, Jina?
Hi, How are you? Cool.
Are there a lot of people coming tonight?
There are already 15 people at your place?

Jina, I am terribly sorry to tell you this, but I was just in a minor car accident.
I was on my way to your place with the desserts, but I bumped into the car in front of me.
Nope. Nobody is hurt.
But the food is ruined. The desserts dont look good.
I should get some new ones.

So people are having the appetizers now?
Well, that's a relief.
I'll go to a nearby bakery and get the best desserts it has.
But I'm going to be a little late because the traffic is pretty bad right now.
Ask your guests to be patient because the desserts are coming.

Okay. I'll get your place as soon as possible.
See you. Bye.

OPIC 04. 댄스 수업 수강 관련 문제

Suppose you registered for a dance class and went to the studio but encountered a problem. Your name is not on the list. What do you do? Ask the secretary for help and also see if there are any alternative choices.

Hi. Are you the secretary of this dance school? Okay.
Hi Mijoo. My name is Jiyoung and I want to take the jazz dance class.

I talked to one of your staff members the other day and asked the person to put my name on the list for the open class.
I just came to join the class, but I can't find my name on the list!
I'm not sure what happened.
Would you please check what went wrong?
Can I still take the open class? Yes, I brought my ID card.
Here you go.
Well, thank you for your help.
I guess the other staff member made a mistake.

Oh, so he misspelled my name.
Jaehyung? No, no.
My name is J I Y O U N G.
Not Jaehyung.
It's all right. Thank you for your help. Bye.

OPIC 03. 노래교실 등록 관련 문제

A problem occurred. You have a problem and have to miss the next two classes. Call the instructor and give 3~4 alternatives concerning missing the classes.

Hello. Is this Yuri?
Hi. This is Sujin. I signed up for your vocal training class this Monday.

I'm terribly sorry, Yuri, But I had some issues come up at the last minute.
I have to go out of town for an urgent business trip next week.
My boss just called me this morning to make the arrangements.
I'll be out of town the entire week next week, so I will miss the next two classes.

I wonder if i might make up the classes I miss another time? That's great.
I didn't know you had such a system in place.
When is the makeup class scheduled?
You have it every Saturday? Sure, I can be there.

Also, is it possible for my freind to delay the start of her class, too?
She's very shy and doesn't want to attend class without me.
Thank you. That's so nice of you.

Thank you again. I'll get back to you when I return from my trip. Bye.

OPIC 02. 수리업체와 문제 해결

A problem occurred. The window repairman cannot come over to your place until next week. Call the repair shop and tell the staff member why he or she has to fix your window as soon as possible.

Hello? This is the ABC Repair Shop, right?
Hi, this is jiyoung in Suwon

I just got a text message from one of your staff members. He said that he cannot come to fix my window until next week.

What seems to be the problem?
Is it possible for you to send someone else then?
I believe that I informed you that my window was completely shattered this morning. Every part of the glass is gone!

I need it to be fixed by tonight before I can go to bed.
Please try to understand. I live in a tiny little house.

I have nowhere else to go. Please.
Can you just carry the window by yourself and come? What if I pay you 50,000 won instead of 30,000 won?
Sound good? It’s deal then.

I’ll see you in an hour. Thank you. Bye.

OPIC 01. 콘서트 관련 문제

Suppose that you planned to go to a concert with your friend, but you get sick, so you are not able
to go. What would you do? Call your friend and give 3 to 4 suggestions.

Hello, Hejin. This is Junho.
I know we are supposed to go to Yiruma’s concert this Friday evening.
You know how excited I am to go to the concert.

But I don’t think I’ll be able to make it.
I don’t feel well.
In fact, I feel really sick. I have a stormachache, headache, runny nose, and even a sore throat.
I don’t know what’s going on with me.
I think I’d better just get a lot of rest for the next couple of days.

So, if it’s okay with you, can you just attend the concert by yourself? Or maybe you can invite someone else to go with you.
If you can’t find anyone, can you please get a refund for my ticket?
Oh, you’d rather cancel the reservation? Okay then.

I’m really sorry about this, Hejin.

I promise to buy you a nice meal when I get better. Sure.
Thanks for understanding.
Take care and talk you soon. Bye.
