모듈형 답변 전략
답변을 레고처럼 조립하는 모듈형 전략 — 적은 준비로 모든 질문에 대응하기
모듈형 답변이란?
하나의 답변을 통째로 외우는 게 아니라, 교체 가능한 블록(모듈)을 미리 준비해두고 질문에 맞게 조립하는 전략입니다.
질문: "자주 가는 공원을 묘사해주세요"
[도입 모듈] + [장소 묘사 모듈] + [이유 모듈] + [마무리 모듈]
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
주제 제시 공원 구체 묘사 좋아하는 이유 감정으로 끝
같은 모듈을 다른 질문에도 재활용할 수 있습니다. 10개 모듈이면 30개 이상의 질문에 대응 가능합니다.
모든 답변의 기본 뼈대
어떤 질문이든 이 3단 구조를 따릅니다.
| 파트 | 역할 | 분량 |
|---|---|---|
| 도입 | 주제 제시, 방향 설정 | 1~2문장 |
| 본론 | 구체적 내용 전개 | 3~5문장 |
| 마무리 | 감정 표현, 요약 | 1~2문장 |
도입과 마무리만 확실해도 어떤 질문이든 최소 4문장은 확보됩니다. 본론은 아는 만큼 채우면 됩니다.

주의사항
- 모듈을 로봇처럼 읽지 마세요 — 자연스러운 톤이 핵심
- 반드시 자기 실제 경험으로 내용을 채우세요 — 틀만 빌리고 내용은 본인 것
- 같은 모듈을 매번 똑같이 말하면 감점 — 주제에 맞게 변형하세요
- 감정 표현을 넣으세요 — "I was so happy", "I felt really disappointed" 등이 등급에 큰 영향
- 모듈은 "정답"이 아니라 출발점 — 익숙해지면 자유롭게 벗어나세요
