PTE Respond to a Situation: 연습 문제와 모범 답안
문제 유형 안내
2025년 8월 7일부터 PTE Academic에 추가됐고, Speaking 영역에서 2–3문제가 나와요.
학교, 직장, 집에서 겪을 만한 짧은 일상 상황을 읽고 들어요. 약 10초 동안 준비한 뒤, 실제 상대에게 말하듯 40초 동안 답해요.
appropriacy(말투와 요청이 상대에게 적절한지), content, pronunciation, oral fluency를 평가해요.
시간은 연습 화면과 널리 공개된 시험 안내 자료를 기준으로 했어요. 시험 전에는 Pearson의 최신 응시자 안내서를 확인해 주세요.
40초 안에 말하는 답변 구성
- 시작(약 5초): 인사하고 말을 거는 이유를 설명해요.
- 문제 설명(약 15초): 무슨 일이 언제 있었는지, 왜 중요한지 등 상황의 핵심 내용을 한두 문장으로 말해요.
- 요청(약 15초): 원하는 것을 분명히 말하고, 어려울 경우를 대비해 대안 하나를 제시해요.
- 마무리(약 5초): 정중하게 감사 인사를 해요.
자주 감점되는 부분
- 상황의 세부 내용은 빼고 외운 답변만 말하면 content와 appropriacy 점수가 떨어져요.
- 상대에게 맞지 않는 말투로 말해요. 교수님께 너무 편하게, 룸메이트에게 너무 딱딱하게 말하는 경우예요.
- 정작 요청을 말하기도 전에 시간이 끝나 버려요.
- 시작할 때 오래 침묵하면 안 돼요. 녹음은 계속되고, 머뭇거리면 fluency에서 감점돼요.
예제 풀이: Study Room Taken
주어진 상황
You booked a group study room at the university library for this afternoon, but when you arrived another group was already using it and refused to leave. You have a presentation to rehearse in two hours. Speak to the librarian at the front desk: explain the problem and ask for an alternative room.
모범 답안
Hi, sorry to bother you. I booked study room four for two o'clock today under my student number, but when I got there another group was already inside, and they said they weren't going to move. The trouble is, my team has a presentation in two hours and we really need somewhere to rehearse. Could you check the booking system and see if there's another room free, even a smaller one? If nothing's available, maybe you could ask the other group to leave? I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks so much.
