Answers and explanations

Show answers and explanations

Practice questions

1. Which sentence gives symptom and onset?

Answer: 목요일 저녁부터 수도꼭지에서 물이 새요.

It includes when and what is wrong.

  • 금요일 세 시예요. — A time alone does not describe a symptom.
  • 27번이에요. — A reference alone does not describe a symptom.

2. Two was unavailable and both agreed to three. Which time belongs in the note?

Answer: 오후 세 시

Record the finally agreed time.

  • 오전 두 시 — Morning was never offered.
  • 오후 두 시 — That was the rejected first request.

3. What does reference number 27 identify?

Answer: This received request

The number distinguishes the request.

  • A repair price of 27 won — It is not cost information.
  • 27 minutes until completion — It is not a duration either.

4. A visit is booked. What remains unconfirmed?

Answer: Whether repair is actually finished

An appointment is not a repair result.

  • The mutually agreed visit time — The time is agreed in this situation.
  • The reported symptom — The symptom was already reported.

Learning check

1. The new role’s problem is a bathroom tap. Choose the matching request.

Answer: 욕실 수도꼭지에서 물이 새요. 수리해 주세요.

The new role’s location, object and request match.

  • 식당에 예약하려고 하는데요. — This is not a restaurant booking.
  • 거실 난방이 안 돼요. 수리해 주세요. — That copies the model’s heating issue.

2. The worker confirms Friday at three. Which checks it back?

Answer: 금요일 오후 세 시 방문 맞아요?

Both day and final time match.

  • 목요일 오후 세 시 방문 맞아요? — The day is different.
  • 금요일 오후 두 시 방문 맞아요? — That keeps the initial two o’clock request.

3. Asked about the cause before inspection, what fits?

Answer: 원인은 아직 모르겠어요.

Separate observation from an unverified cause.

  • 확실히 난방 때문이에요. — The cause has not been established.
  • 수리비는 27원이에요. — It turns the reference into a price.

4. Which note field fits “목요일 저녁부터”?

Answer: Problem onset

부터 marks the symptom’s starting point.

  • Reference number — It is not a numeric reference.
  • Confirmed visit time — The visit is Friday at three.

5. Which set of note details is consistent?

Answer: 욕실 수도꼭지 / 목요일 저녁부터 / 금요일 오후 세 시 / 27번

It collects the new role’s confirmed details.

  • 거실 난방 / 월요일 아침부터 / 수요일 네 시 / 18번 — Those are all model details.
  • 욕실 수도꼭지 / 금요일 오후 두 시 확정 / 27원 — It includes a rejected time and mistaken price.

6. The worker has not arrived yet. Which final status fits?

Answer: Reception and visit are agreed; repair is not done yet.

Record only what has been confirmed so far.

  • All repairs are complete. — There is no actual repair result yet.
  • No time is known; come anytime. — It discards the agreed time.

Example answers

Written responses are examples. Other wording can also meet the same conditions.

1. New role: Aki. The bathroom tap leaks. Give the name and symptom in two sentences.

아키예요. 욕실 수도꼭지에서 물이 새요.

저는 아키예요. 욕실 수도꼭지에서 물이 새요.

The name and object differ from the model.

목요일 저녁부터 물이 새요.

Give the onset.

3. Request tap repair.

금요일 오후 두 시에 오실 수 있어요?

금요일 오후 두 시에 오실 수 있을까요?

Ask about the initial preference.

네. 금요일 오후 세 시가 좋아요.

네. 오후 세 시가 좋아요.

금요일 오후 세 시에 집에 있어요.

The final time is the agreed three.

6. Staff say “Your reference is 27.” State the reference number.

접수번호는 27번이에요.

접수번호는 이십칠 번이에요.

27번이에요.

이십칠 번이에요.

The number is not a cost or visit time.

7. The worker confirmed Friday at three. Ask to check the final visit back.

금요일 오후 세 시 방문 맞아요?

금요일 오후 세 시에 오시는 거예요?

금요일 오후 세 시에 오시는 거 맞아요?
