RS - 다들 아시다시피 기출 비율도 낮고 그 많은 문제들이 시험장 문만 나오면 기억이 안나네요.
DI - Indian rhino, line graph 그리고 지도가 하나 더 있었는데 기억이 날듯말듯 하네요. 기억나면 업데이트 하겠습니다.

다른분 말씀처럼 처음들어보는 문제들이 대부분이었습니다.
SWT - 2문제 받았구요. 첫번째는 frog in amber, 다른 하나는 country living. SWT는 딱히 기출 공부를 안하고 있어서 그냥 기억나는걸 검색해보니 둘다 기출이었네요. ㅠㅠ 원문은 아래에 있습니다.
Frog in amber
A tiny tree frog preserved in amber is believed to have lived about 25 million years ago, a Mexican researcher says. The chunk of amber containing the centimetre-long frog was uncovered by a miner in southern Chiapas state in 2005 and bought by a private collector, who lent it to scientists for study.
Only a few preserved frogs have been found in chunks of amber — a stone formed by ancient tree sap — mostly in the Dominican Republic. Like those, the frog found in Chiapas was of the genus Craugastor, whose relatives still inhabit the region. Gerardo Carbot, the biologist with the Chiapas Natural History and Ecology Institute who announced the discovery on Wednesday, said it was the first such frog found in amber in Mexico.
Carbot said he would like to extract a sample from the frog’s remains to see whether they contain well-preserved DNA, in order to identify the frog’s species. However, he expressed doubt that the stone’s owner would allow researchers to drill a small hole into the chunk of amber.Country Living
Live in the country and last three years longer than my city friends? Good news indeed, more backing for a lifestyle choice made half a lifetime ago when it seemed a good idea to exchange an Edinburgh terrace for a farm cottage.
I knew it was a good idea because I had been there before. Born and reared on a farm I had been seduced for a few years by the idea of being a big shot who lived and worked in a city rather than only going for the day to wave at the buses.
True, I was familiar with some of the minor disadvantages of country living such as an iffy private water supply sometimes infiltrated by a range of flora and fauna (including, on one memorable occasion, a dead lamb), the absence of central heating in farmhouses and cottages, and a single track farm road easily blocked by snow, broken-down machinery or escaped livestock.
But there were many advantages as I told Liz back in the mid-Seventies. Town born and bred, eight months pregnant and exchanging a warm, substantial Corstorphine terrace for a windswept farm cottage on a much lower income, persuading her that country had it over town might have been difficult.
WE - medical technology가 혜택인가? 아니면 curse 인가? 대충 이런 문제였습니다. 그냥 With the rise of ~~ 에 끼워맞춰서 쓰고 나왔습니다.
FIB - 기출 하나 나왔네요. Dog breeding 그런데 ptestudy.com에 문제와는 다르게 litter와 ideal에 빈칸이 있었습니다.
A dog may be man's best friend. But man is not always a dog's. Over the centuries selective breeding has pulled at the canine body shape to produce what is often a grotesque distortion of the underlying wolf. Indeed, some of these distortions are, when found in people, regarded as pathologies.Dog breeding does, though, offer a chance to those who would like to understand how body shape is controlled. The ancestry of pedigree pooches is well recorded, their generation time is short and their litter size reasonably large, so there is plenty of material to work with. Moreover, breeds are, by definition, inbred, and this simplifies genetic analysis. Those such as Elaine Ostrander, of America's National Human Genome Research Institute, who wish to identify the genetic basis of the features of particular pedigrees thus have an ideal experimental animal.
RO - 2문제중 1문제는 fire 와 시간이 나왔는데 ptestudy에 있는 firework은 아니었습니다. 내용은 무난했던듯 합니다. 다른 하나는 아래 문제입니다. top english라는 사이트에서 봤던 문제였는데 어떻게 대답했는지 기억이 잘 안나네요 ㅠㅠ
3) My study of the history of religion has revealed that human beings are spiritual animals. Indeed, there is a case for arguing that "Homo Sapiens" is also "Homo religious".
2) Men and women started to worship gods as soon as they became recognizably human: they created religions at the same time as they created works of art.
4) This was not simply because they wanted to propitiate powerful forces.
1) These early faiths express the wonder and mystery that seem always to have been an essential component of the human experience of this beautiful yet terrifying world.
WFD - 두개는 기억이 나서 적었지만 나머지 1개가 기억이 안나네요 역시나 기출중에 하나였는데 말이죠. 아래 두번째 문장은 원래 plan으로 알고 있었는데 그것만 policy로 바뀌었네요.
Student concession cards need to be obtained by completing an application form.
The business policy seminar includes an internship with a local firm.
우선 이번에도 목표 점수 달성에는 실패할것 같지만 지난번보다 점수가 올라가길 기대해봅니다. 아무래도 65+였던 목표가 한단계 올라가서 말이죠. 현재 최대 난관은 스피킹과 리스닝인데 이번에도 점수가 예상보다 낮게 나온다면 한동안은 모의고사만 사서 스피킹 점수의 변화를 보고 도전해봐야할 것 같습니다.
