ILETS Speaking part 2. Talk about a famous man whom you admire.

ILETS Speaking part 2. Talk about a famous man whom you admire.
Please say - who is he?
              - how did he become famous?
              - what do you admire most about him?




The famous man who I admire is the former president No. He was a president of Korea in 2003 to 2008. Before he became the presidents he was a lawyer(attorney) of human rights and he fought against dictatorial government aside from that he was appointed by president Kim who received a Nobel prize for peace in 2000 as minister of fisheries and oceans. After his term, he ran for the presidency and was elected as president in 2002.



The reason that I choose him as respectable person is that he was really confident and he had a strong sense of duty about making better society in Korea. And he divested himself of president’s privilege and tried to communicate with people. in order to improve democracy. of Korea. Furthermore, he tried to reform the media and press for freedom of them and he made a great effort to break corrupt relationship between governments and business men. Because of those kinds of his activities, he gained a lot of opponents, but he did not allow them to affect his convictions.








I learned about morality and justice through him and lots of Korean still respect him. So I pick him as person who I admire. I really miss him.

IELTS Speaking part 3. Do you think locations are very important for the success of shop?

 Do you think locations are very important for the success of shop?



In general, I believe that locations are really significant factor because it can attract potential customers such as just people who walk on the road near the shop.  Because of the good market accessibility, many people enter the shopping center even though they don’t have any plan to buy something. However, sometimes, regardless of locations, some shops are being popular and succeed. Because they are very unique. For example, shop where sells interesting and unique items or where have special mood like that. So if they have their own competitiveness about sales, the location will be no longer big problem.

Why are some shops unsuccessful despite good locations?

I think the reason of unsuccessful shops is bad quality of their products and terrible customer service also can cuase failed bisiness. Aside from that when similar types of shops are in a one area, it can be hard to them to survive because it means that they have many market competitors.



Do you think there would be more shops in the city centers in the future?

Yes. In the future, even if a lot of poeple use online shopping mall, I believe the more shops are located in the city.

Becuase many part of our work will be substituted machine and we will have a lot of free time and as a result people will go out and having enjoyalbe time in the city centers. It can be watching movie, buying some clothes or items. So I suppose that  in the future, the more shops will appear in the city.

in the future lesser there will be manual labor since our work will be operated by machine

 

Do you thing that governments should plan for the improvement of cities?


No, governments should more focus on improving rural erea than cities.

 I think infrastructures and the number of people who live in the cities are enough or somewhere is too much for living.
A lot of people move to city from countryside because there are not enough facilities and infrastructure like school, hospital, shopping center. It makes imbalance of population and living quility between city and countryside.
So my conviction is that governments should plan for the improvement of rural side than cities.


(So cities are too complicated and have a lot of problems such as air polluction, treffic jam and inflation like that.
we don’t need to improve our cities. In now, more important thing is thinking about how can we conserve our nature.)

What should governments consider when they design future cities?

Do you think about the increase of high-rise building in cities?

 
High-rise buildings are created due to the lack of space but in my case I think people should no longer build high-rise building in the citiy. I believe that we already have enough high-rise buildings. Becuase when I walk in Seoul, I can see a lot of empty buildings. And I heard the news that the number of buildings is more than the number of people who live in there. So my conviction is that we don't need to think about the increase the number of high-rise buildings in cities.

As I mentioned, when I stay up late, I usually surf the internet. I search some videos on the Youtube such as worldwide dancing competitions or my favorite singers’ music video and especially I love to watch Yuna Kim’s performance in the figure skating events. She was a world –class figure skater who won the gold medal in the 2010 Olympics.  And her performance is really impressive for me so may be I watched her skating video more than 100 times.

Yes, but only when I have early schedule in the next morning. For example, when I have a English speaking class or have a rehab’ training schedule of my clients in the next morning, I concerned about it. But if not, I don’t care and I get up late.

I don’t do anything else aside from surfing the internet.

That’s the only time when I worry about it, otherwise I really don’t care stay up and wake up late.

IELTS Speaking part 1. Do you like your job?

Of course I like my job. The most important value in my life is being a needful person and I think I can be a helpful person as a rehabilitation trainer because I’m able to help those people who need to improve their physical condition. Watching my clients’ health is being better makes me feel fulfill. (a sense of achievement or satisfaction)

So I want to improve my knowledge and skills about raheb’ training and I want to share my knowledge to my clients for their well-being. That’s why I decided to go to the Australia for studying Physiotherapy.

IELTS speaking part 1. Did you like your high school teachers?


Did you like your high school teachers?


To be honest, I didn’t like most my high school teaches, because the most of teachers in my school were too much focused on their students getting a high score than students’ lives, happiness.

I believed that there were more significant values such as having diverse experiences and challenging what they want to than just getting a high score but unfortunately most of them gave pressure to students included me for the acquiring of the high grade in order to go to the university. So I didn’t like my high school teachers.

 

Are teachers strict in your country?


No, I don’t think so. I believe that the rights of students became more important than educational authority of teachers. When my mom and dad were students, they said that their teachers were really strict and they usually physically punished them. However when I was a student, I think teachers were not too strict than before.

->Nowadays, I don't think they are strict anymore but in the past, teachers were not very strict. Mom and dad told me that their teachers were strict while in my case, my teachers were not to strict.

 

 

Do you think it is beneficial for students to like teachers?


Of course yes. When they have their favorite teachers, they will more focus on the classes and try to study hard because they don’t want to disappoint their teachers. So I suppose that it is good for students.

ILETS Writing. Task 1. Line graph.

The graph below shows electricity production (in terawatt hours)

 in France between 1980 and 2012.



INTRODUCTION)


The line graph presents the 4 main sources of electricity in France, namely thermal, nuclear, hydroelectric and renewables between 1980 and 2012.
->
The line graph compares the amount of electricity produced in France using four different sources of power over a period of 32 years.



OVERVIEW) 

It is clear that the highest source of electricity was nuclear. The lowest electricity production was renewables.
->
It is clear that nuclear power was the most important means of electricity generation over the period shown. Renewables provided the lowest amount of electricity in each year.



1ST Details paragraph)


The electricity production of thermal was the highest at more than 100TW-h in 1980. During that year, hydroelectric and nuclear were used as sources of electricity with almost 70TW-h. And renewables had not been used between 1980 and 1996.
->
In 1980, the electricity production of thermal power stations was the highest source of electricity in France, generating around 120 terawatt hours of power. In the same year, hydroelectric and nuclear power stations were used as sources of electricity with almost 70 terawatt hours each, and renewables provided a very minute amount. Just a year later, nuclear power overtook thermal power as the primary source of electricity.




2ND Details paragraph)

The electricity production by using nuclear increased rapidly after 1980 until 2000 and it steadly increased between 2000 and 2006. Aside from that, it little decreased between 2006and 2009 and increased again between 2006 and 2011. In 2012 it was little decreased again but it was still the highest source of making electricity. Renewables was used firstly in 1996 after than, it steadly increased until 2012 at 50 terawatt hours of power but it was still the lowest source of electricity.
->
Between 1980 and 2005, electricity production from nuclear power rose dramatically to a peak of 430 terawatt hours. In contrast, the thermal power fell to only 40 terawatt hours in 1986, and remained at this average level for the rest of the period. Hydroelectric power generation remained relatively stable for the whole 32-period, at between 50 to 80 terawatt hours, but renewable electricity production only saw a small rise to approximately 25 terawatt hours by 2012.
