[Global Tasks & Functions] In-depth Strategy

• Make sure you are saying what is relevant to the question.
• Use various vocabularies.
• Use cohesive devices as much as you can.

Q1. You indicated in the survey that you watch TV or DVDs. Tell me about the TV shows or movies you like to whatch. What are they about? When do you watch them? Why do you like them?

My favorite program on TV is a stage comedy show that is aired every Sunday. There are various  corners on the program with various characters. The corners each make a unique theme and the comedians make many hilarious gestures and comments. What the comedians say on the program often become popular words or phrases common people use in jokes in their daily life. As the show is broadcasted on Sunday evenings, I normally watch it while having dinner with my family. I like the program very much because I can get a good laugh while watching it. After laughing for an hour, I can get rid of all the stress I got during the week.

Q2. What do you see outside your office? The sky, trees.. what are the things you see outside?

When I look outstide my office window, the first thing I see is a building right in front of my office building. Since I work in a commercial district, there are lots of high-rises around and they are pretty much what I can see outside my window. Of course, when I look down, I can see busy streets with tons of people and cars passing by. The streets get incredibly packed with cars during rush hours and the sidewallks are crowded with people all day long. Besides people and cars, there are trees along each side of the road. Overall, the view from my office building is a typical view you would probably see when working in a commercial district in Korea.

Q3. I'd like to give you a situation and ask you to act it out. You receive a call from a family member asking that you help prepare for a big party. Call the family member and leave a message asking three or four questions to find out everything you can about the party.

Hi, Uncle Sam. I got your message regarding the party you want me to help out with. In order to help you arrange this party, I need to know a few things. First, tell me exactly when the party is going to be held. I need to know the exact date and whether you want to hold it in the afternoon or evening. Second, I need to know where you want to hold this party. Do you want to hold it indoors or outdoors? Do you want to hold it at someone's house or an independent venue? Third, I need to know how many people you want to invite. Call me back whenever you can. If I don't answer my phone just leave a voice message. Talk to you soon Uncle Sam.
