[2021.07.09.Fri] 입이 트이는 영어 How I Made Use of '입트영' 내가 입트영을 활용한 방법

[Speaking] Talk about How I Made Use of 입트영 to study English.

2 years ago, I missed the cut to become a tour guide interpreter. I failed in the second English interview stage, but last year I passed with flying colors. The biggest difference between 2019 and 2020 was whether I had studied daily with 입트영. I subscribed to the 입트영 monthly textbook for a year. I listened to the program at least twice every day, reading the content out loud. Continuing to follow along for a while softened my accent. To me, 입트영 was like a vitamin, strengthening my immune system for all English speaking tests. The questions for the tour guide interpreter interviews were completely unrelated, but studying for over 2 hours each day with 입트영 had a noticeable effect. I think 입트영 was the best choice I could've made to prepare for interviews or English speaking exams.

2년전에 관광통역안내사 자격시험에 불합격했습니다. 2차 영어 면접에서 떨어졌습니다. 그러나 작년에는 수월하게 합격했습니다. 19년도와 20년의 가장 큰 차이점은 입트영으로 매일마다 공부했는지 입니다. 저는 입트영 월간 교재를 1년 정기구독했습니다. 매일 최소 두번 정도 방송을 듣고, 크게 따라 읽었습니다. 한동안 따라 읽기를 하니깐 억양도 부드러워졌습니다. 저에게 있어서 입트영은 모든 영어 말하기 시험에 면역력을 높여준 비타민 같았습니다. 물론 관광안내통역사 면접 질문은 책에서 봤던 내용들과는 좀 다른 내용이었습니다만 입트영으로 매일 2시간 넘게 공부한 것이 확실히 효과가 있었습니다. 면접이나 영어 말하기 시험을 준비하는데, 입트영이 최고의 선택이었다고 생각합니다.
