STEP1. 기본 표현으로 간결하게 답변하기
Talk about how you study English.
Everyone has his or her own way of studying English. I repeatedly listen to MP3s of sentences. Then I practice by repeating after the sentences and reading aloud. I imagine that I am really in that situation as I act out the words. I also write the sentences by hand. I go over what I studied before l go to bed, and again when I wake up. This helps me remember English sentences for longer periods of time.

Talk about your purpose of studying English.
English is used almost everywhere, so most people have no choice but to learn it these days. Some people prep for English tests in order to get into a school or land a job. Their primary goal is to ace tests like these. Meanwhile, some people learn English as a hobby. I study English to watch American TV shows or movies without subtitles. I also want to communicate freely with various people when I travel abroad. To that end, l'm working hard every day.
