Practice questions

1. What is Jun’s goal in the model?

Answer: 모두에게 발표 기회를 주기

Summarise the stated goal only.

  • 질문을 전부 금지하기 — No ban was proposed.
  • 미나의 의견을 막기 — That motive is not given.

2. Which confirms the other view?

Answer: 발표 기회를 늘리고 싶다는 말씀이시죠?

It checks the proposal’s purpose.

  • 왜 항상 틀린 말만 해요? — It attacks the person, not the proposal.
  • 다른 사람의 시간은 중요하지 않다는 거죠? — It attributes an unstated position.

3. What supports the model’s concern?

Answer: 남은 시간 30분, 발표만 40분

Compare the supplied times.

  • 모두 발표를 싫어함 — No universal preference is given.
  • 질문 시간 40분이 이미 끝남 — This has not already happened.

4. What does 우려됩니다 express?

Answer: Concern about a possible problem

Distinguish concern from an established outcome.

  • Confirmed past failure — Implementation has not happened.
  • Everyone’s agreement — Others’ agreement requires checking.

Learning check

1. How long would talks alone take in the task?

Answer: 50분

The source gives ten five-minute talks as fifty minutes.

  • 20분 — Twenty belongs to the shorter alternative.
  • 40분 — Forty is the available total time.

2. What does Aki disagree about?

Answer: 한 사람당 오 분이라는 방법

The goal is retained while the method changes.

  • 발표 기회를 주려는 목적 전체 — The goal is acknowledged.
  • 다른 사람의 존재 — This is not rejection of a person.

3. Which alternative leaves question time within 40 minutes?

Answer: 각자 이 분씩 발표하고 남은 시간에 질문하기

The alternative totals twenty minutes of talks.

  • 발표만 오십 분 진행하기 — This exceeds the total.
  • 남은 시간이 없다고 자료를 바꾸기 — Do not invent a different condition.

4. Which structure fits respectful disagreement?

Answer: 상대 목적 확인 → 다른 생각 → 근거 → 대안

Keep the content and grounds central.

  • 없는 말을 상대에게 돌리기 — It misrepresents the view.
  • 상대 비난 → 근거 생략 — It omits respect and grounds.

5. Has the alternative been adopted?

Answer: Still under discussion.

No agreement or implementation is recorded.

  • 전원이 승인했어요. — Universal agreement is not supplied.
  • 이미 시행했어요. — It is a future proposal.

6. How can you ask about a drawback of the alternative?

Answer: 이 분으로 설명하기에 부족한 점은 없을까요?

It invites review of further conditions.

  • 이 방법은 항상 완벽하죠? — Perfection is not established.
  • 다른 질문은 하지 마세요. — It prevents review.
