📝 IELTS 스피킹 대화 대본

Interviewer: Good morning. Thanks for coming in today. How are you feeling? Candidate: Morning. A bit nervous, but ready. I was glad to get out of weeks of remote acedia. Interviewer: Remote acedia can be tough. We have a lot to cover. First, could you explicate the project you mentioned on your CV? Candidate: Sure. I led a cost-reduction project at GreenTech. We winnowed non-essential expenses and improved procurement. Interviewer: How much did you reduce costs by? Candidate: About 20 percent in the first year. It felt almost like a stroke of genius to find several small savings that added up. Interviewer: That sounds impressive. Don't call yourself a genius too soon, though. Candidate: I wouldn't. I actually had to explicate each change to skeptical managers. Interviewer: You said you managed a team. How many people did you oversee? Candidate: I managed a team of eight across procurement and analytics, and at times I supervised six junior researchers directly. Interviewer: Okay. We will have several interviews and then winnow candidates to three for the final stage. Candidate: That makes sense. During the panel interview last year I felt a crossfire of questions, which was intimidating. Interviewer: We try not to subject people to that crossfire here, but panels can be sharp. How did you cope with the stress and occasional acedia during long projects? Candidate: I took short breaks, reorganized priorities, and literally winnowed tasks to the essentials. It helped pull me out of acedia. Interviewer: Finally, can you explicate how you chose which costs to cut? Be specific. Candidate: We analysed usage data, ranked suppliers, and winnowed variables that showed low impact. I then explained results to stakeholders so they trusted the change. Interviewer: Great. One last thing: how did you handle the rapid questioning during that crossfire you mentioned? Candidate: I stayed calm, answered clearly, and admitted when I didn't know. It stopped feeling like a crossfire of doubts and more like a discussion.
