Your goal
Complete a comparison table and give an approximately one-minute recommendation: criteria, comparison, choice and trade-off.
Separate factual comparison from personal choice. When both options meet requirements, neither name is the only correct choice. Explain your priority and evidence in your own words.

- 차이점
- difference
- 비교표
- side-by-side table using the same criteria

Yuna’s comparison model
Yuna: Saturday morning available, budget 100,000, prioritizes price.
| Criterion | 가온반 | 누리반 |
|---|---|---|
| Total for four sessions | 60,000원 | 90,000원 |
| Walk from the same station | 15분 | 5분 |
| Starting time | 토요일 오전 10시 | 토요일 오전 10시 |
90 minutes each, materials included. Both meet the requirements.
Learn the expressions
State requirements first, then your priority. Table values should match the source, but the final choice may differ with priorities.
| Presentation order | Sentence frame |
|---|---|
| 기준 | 저는 …을/를 더 중요하게 생각해요. |
| 비교 | A는 B보다 … / B는 A에 비해 … |
| 선택과 근거 | …기 때문에 A를 추천해요. |
| 아쉬운 점 | A는 … 반면에 … |
You may choose the lower-fee option when prioritizing price, or the nearer option when prioritizing travel time. Both still need to meet required timing and budget.

Practice questions
1. What should you state first in a recommendation?
Answer: Whose constraints and which criteria apply
Criteria make the comparison understandable.
- Only the name in the sample answer — A name alone is not evidence.
- An invented extra fee — Do not invent costs.
2. Gaon is cheaper, Nuri is nearer; both satisfy requirements.
Answer: Choice can depend on priority.
The person’s priorities affect the choice.
- Only Gaon can ever be correct. — This situation does not require one option name as the sole correct answer.
- If it is near, budget never matters. — Budget remains a requirement.
3. What should you preserve when filling table figures?
Answer: The source units and inclusions
Keep evidence on a consistent basis.
- Omitting the costly option’s time — That omits needed comparison information.
- Lowering the preferred option’s price — Do not change facts to suit preference.
4. Why mention the chosen option’s drawback?
Answer: So the listener can consider both sides
Communicate the basis and trade-off together.
- Because the recommendation must be wrong — A choice can fit despite a drawback.
- Because evidence is no longer needed — The drawback also needs evidence.
