혹시 오픽을 준비하고 있다면 쳇GPT의 유료 버전을 활용해 보길 권유하고 싶다 (대략 월 3만원).

무료 버전과 다르게 실제로 원어민과 대화하는 듯한 음성 지원 서비스를 제공하는 데다 무제한으로 연습할 수 있기 때문에 개인적으로 무척 만족스럽게 사용하고 있다 (단, 휴대폰 앱에서만 가능하다).

 

어느 정도 영어회화가 가능하다면 쳇GPT에게 "내가 영어로 문장을 말할 테니까 틀린 부분을 바로 잡아 줘"라고 요청하고 오픽 예상 질문에 대한 답을 나름대로 말하면 쳇GPT가 문법적으로 틀린 부분을 친절하게 알려준다. 직접 말을 해보면서 연습할 수 있기 때문에 상당히 효과적이다.

 

영어회화가 익숙지 않다면 "한국어로 말할 테니까 영어로 번역해서 말해 줘"라고 요청하고 쳇GPT가 번역해 제공하는 문장을 암기하는 방식으로 연습할 수 있다. 쳇GPT가 제공하는 문장이 너무 길거나 어렵다면 문장을 좀 더 간결하게 만들어 달라는 등의 요청을 통해 원하는 문장으로 다듬어 암기하면 된다. 쳇GPT를 활용하면 발음이나 억양까지 연습할 수 있어 도움이 될 거라 생각한다.
