주제군 A · 직장·업무 (Work)

1. 재택 vs 사무실 근무

Q11 의견 제시에 양방향 완성본 수록. (기준 예시)

2. "회사가 직원 교육에 투자해야 하는가?"

기본

I agree that companies should invest in employee training. The first reason is that it improves skills. Well-trained workers do better work. The second reason is that it keeps employees happy. They feel the company cares. For example, my friend stayed at his job because of good training. So I think it is a good investment.

고득점

I completely agree that companies should invest in training their employees, and I see it as a win-win. First and foremost, well-trained staff are simply more productive and make fewer costly mistakes, which directly benefits the company's bottom line. On top of that, investing in people sends a powerful message — that the company values their growth — and that dramatically improves loyalty and retention. For example, a friend of mine turned down a higher-paying offer precisely because his company kept investing in his development. Admittedly, training costs money upfront, but the long-term payoff in skill and loyalty far outweighs it. So that's why I strongly support it.

3. "젊은 직원과 경력 직원 중 누가 더 가치 있는가?"

고득점

Honestly, I don't think it's either-or, but if I had to choose, I'd lean toward experienced employees. The main reason is that experience brings judgment you simply can't teach — knowing how to handle a crisis, read a client, avoid past mistakes. What's more, experienced staff often mentor the younger ones, multiplying their value across the team. Of course, younger employees bring fresh energy and new ideas, and the ideal team blends both — but when it comes to steering through tough situations, I'd put my money on experience every time.

주제군 B · 교육 (Education)

4. 온라인 수업 vs 대면 수업

기본

I prefer face-to-face classes. The first reason is that I can focus better. At home, there are many distractions. The second reason is that I can ask questions easily. The teacher answers right away. For example, in online classes I often get distracted by my phone. So I prefer offline classes.

고득점

Personally, I still prefer face-to-face classes, even though online learning is convenient. The biggest reason is focus — in a physical classroom, there's an accountability that my living room simply doesn't have; at home I'm one notification away from losing an hour. On top of that, in-person classes make interaction effortless — you can ask a question the moment it comes up and read the room. For instance, whenever I take online courses, I catch myself multitasking and retaining almost nothing. Granted, online learning wins on flexibility, but for actually absorbing material, nothing beats being physically present. So that's my clear preference.

5. "학생들이 취업에 도움 되는 실용 과목을 더 배워야 하는가?"

고득점

I firmly believe schools should put more emphasis on practical, job-ready skills. First, many graduates enter the workforce knowing theory but struggling with basics like communication, budgeting, or teamwork. Secondly, practical skills level the playing field — they help students who don't go on to graduate school still thrive. A good example is financial literacy; almost no one is taught it, yet everyone needs it. That said, I wouldn't scrap academic subjects entirely — they build critical thinking — but the balance should tilt more toward the practical. So all things considered, I'm strongly in favor.

주제군 C · 기술·사회 (Technology / Society)

6. 스마트폰이 소통에 이로운가 해로운가

고득점

I think smartphones are a double-edged sword, but on balance, I'd say they've hurt genuine communication more than helped it. On the positive side, they let us stay connected across any distance instantly. However, that convenience comes at a cost — people increasingly text instead of talk, and face-to-face conversations suffer as everyone glances at their screens. For example, I've sat at dinners where the whole table was silent, everyone scrolling. Of course, the technology itself isn't evil, and used wisely it's incredible — but left unchecked, it quietly erodes the deeper connection that real conversation builds. That's my honest take.

7. "SNS가 사회에 긍정적인가?"

기본

I think social media has both good and bad sides, but I lean negative. First, people compare themselves to others and feel bad. Second, there is too much fake news. For example, many people believe wrong information online. But social media also helps people connect. So overall, I think we should use it carefully.

고득점

I have genuinely mixed feelings, but if pushed, I'd say social media does more harm than good in its current form. My first concern is mental health — the constant highlight reels fuel comparison and anxiety, especially among young people. Secondly, misinformation spreads faster than facts, and that has real consequences for society. For instance, we've all seen how quickly a false rumor can go viral before the truth catches up. Now, to be fair, social media has undeniably connected people and given a voice to the voiceless — so it's not all bad — but until the downsides are better managed, I remain cautious. That's where I land.

8. "기술 발전이 일자리를 늘리는가 줄이는가?"

고득점

This is a tough one, but I'm cautiously optimistic that technology creates more opportunity than it destroys — eventually. In the short term, automation clearly displaces certain jobs, and that pain is real. However, history suggests that new technology also generates entirely new industries nobody could have predicted. Take the internet — it wiped out some roles but created millions of others. Admittedly, the transition is painful and uneven, and we need to support the people caught in it — but over the long run, I believe innovation expands the pie rather than shrinking it.

주제군 D · 생활·소비 (Lifestyle)

9. 온라인 쇼핑 vs 오프라인 쇼핑

고득점

I'll admit I do most of my shopping online now, so I have to give the edge to online shopping. The main reason is convenience — I can compare prices and order anything at midnight without leaving my couch. On top of that, it's often cheaper, since online stores skip the overhead of physical space. For example, I furnished half my apartment online for far less than in-store prices. That said, for things like clothes, I still value trying them on — so I'm not fully one-sided — but for sheer efficiency and value, online wins for me.

10. "돈을 저축하는 것과 경험에 쓰는 것 중 무엇이 중요한가?"

고득점

While saving matters, I lean toward spending on meaningful experiences, at least while you're young. The reason is that experiences — travel, learning, time with people — shape who you become in a way a bank balance never will. What's more, memories appreciate over time, whereas most possessions lose their shine. For instance, I barely remember things I've bought, but I vividly recall every trip I took. Of course, financial security is essential and I'm not saying be reckless — but hoarding every won while missing life's experiences is its own kind of poverty. So that's my stance.

11. "대도시에 사는 것과 소도시에 사는 것 중 무엇이 나은가?"

고득점

Personally, I'd choose a big city, though I understand the appeal of quieter places. First, big cities offer far more opportunity — jobs, culture, food, people — everything is within reach. Secondly, the sheer convenience is hard to give up once you're used to it; everything's open late and a subway ride away. For example, I can see a concert, try a new cuisine, and meet friends all in one evening here. Granted, big cities are expensive and stressful, and small towns win on peace and cost — but for this stage of my life, the energy and options of a big city are worth the trade-offs.

12. "회사가 직원의 워라밸(일과 삶의 균형)을 보장해야 하는가?"

고득점

I strongly believe companies should actively protect their employees' work-life balance. First and foremost, rested employees are more creative and productive — burnout helps no one, least of all the company. Secondly, respecting personal time builds loyalty; people stay where they're treated like humans, not machines. For instance, companies known for good balance consistently attract the best talent. Some might argue it hurts short-term output — but I'd counter that sustainable performance beats short bursts followed by burnout. So I'm firmly on the side of protecting balance.
