The firefighter civil service exam will be completely revamped starting in 2022. The current system of three mandatory subjects?Korean, English, and Korean history?and two elective subjects will change to a format requiring five mandatory subjects. Korean language and high school subjects will be abolished, but English will remain a mandatory subject.
English is a major challenge for civil service exam candidates. In fact, many candidates express difficulties with the English subject during civil service exam briefings.
In response, Eduwill, a comprehensive education company (CEO Park Myung-gyu), met with Professor Lee Sol, Eduwill’s representative professor for firefighter English, to discuss learning strategies for firefighter English.
Professor Lee Sol stated, “To achieve good scores in English, it is essential to analyze question types and establish optimized learning strategies for each section.”
She advised that syntactic reading should be practiced through segmented reading for speed and accuracy, and that reading comprehension should be studied strategically according to question types. Regarding vocabulary, she emphasized the importance of focusing on frequently appearing words and learning them repeatedly.
Finally, for grammar, she recommended repeatedly studying a single well-structured basic textbook. For the core part of the firefighter special recruitment, daily English, she suggested organizing situational example sentences and making a habit of separately noting unusual idioms.
Professor Lee Sol of Eduwill’s firefighter English is known for delivering easy and engaging lectures that focus intensively on key points appearing on the exam. In her classes, students can learn her unique memorization techniques and essential grammar explained for easy understanding.
Reading comprehension is one of the subjects where it is difficult to improve scores in a short period. Professor Lee expressed confidence, saying, “I will help you develop skills ranging from meticulous analysis of long sentence structures to the ability to see the overall picture by question type.”
Lastly, Professor Lee Sol encouraged examinees, saying, “I will provide efficient lectures to help you complete your study period shortly and effectively. If you have dreams and passion, you can definitely achieve your goals. I will support you until the day you pass.”
Professor Lee Sol’s firefighter English lectures from Eduwill are available online as well as at Eduwill’s Nowon and Noryangjin firefighter academies.
