    These questions sound like you're trying to reach a word limit in an essay so you just add as much filler as you can lmao
  • That is not a foreign language test anymore, that`s a philosophy test IN a foreign language.
  • @Sue-lw5ku
    i thought i was fluent in English until i saw this
  • @songmae-ri6984
    Only 2 questions? Who else was expecting at least 10 questions for them to work on?
  • @jerushajose2699
    Those questions sound like me writing an essay; repeating the same thing over and over again using as many synonyms as possible.
  • All the Koreans in my high school are smart af. If you see a Korean with long hair wears glasses, plays League of Legends and got no facial expressions. He is a beast.
  • @how2do900
    “I graduated from Yale” “I graduated from Stanford” “I’m a UC Berkeley graduate” hi I’m failing math 20 currently send help.
  • @cocamila
    The way they phrased those questions is like me copying something to my essay and trying to avoid plagiarism by replacing each words with their synonyms.
  • @zuchan6889
    the sad thing is when you can't even understand what is the question talking abt
  • @richardko2326
    America: Hey, you know where the supermarket is? I want to get some bread Korea: Greetings, stranger. Are you conscious of the locality of the emporium? I shall request any nourishment.
  • @64imma
    American foreign language questions: "count to 10 in your target language" South Korean foreign language questions: "journey's are the midwives of thought"
  • It's because Korea didn't have Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.
  • @kalieterry8415
    Korea: Goes to school for 13 hours America: Omg is it yanny or laurel idk
  • @buriednavid

    [A typical example] English : I'm hungry. Korea SAT : Essentially, all living things on Earth have various essential conditions for living as organic organisms, and this can often be divided into three in terms of 'desire'. This is divided into appetite, sleep bath, and sexual desire. Here, appetite is the desire to eat food, and all living metabolic activities take food and get energy to act as living things. Nowadays, I don't eat foods that are evenly mixed with carbohydrates, proteins, and fats for a long period of time, and I am very exhausted, lacking energy, and greatly hindering my daily life. If I continue to suppress 'appetite' and maintain this situation, I will inevitably have to eat foods that contain high energy, as my life will cease. 진짜 수능보기 존나 싫다
  • @jaives
    Koreans don't even speak, read, watch, listen, and write in English regularly, what makes exam-makers think they'll be able to understand such abstract concepts?
  • @kcarr123
    These questions are ridiculous. If anybody spoke or wrote like that you would wonder what the hell is wrong with them.
  • @neymarjr-xs1lu
    Maybe that's the reason why many Koreans can't speak English..
  • @TDoThis
    If any korean high school students are reading this comment, you have my wholehearted respect and support✊🏾✨ Please don’t push yourselves too hard ok?💚
