Short Q Could you tell me what this passage is mainly about?
TALK A It is mainly about a recent study showing that genes

determine people’s happiness.
Q What kind of findings did the scientists report about the
happy gene?
A The scientists reported that people who are born with the
longer happy gene, called the 5-HTT gene, feel happier.

Q According to the study, what form of the happy gene makes
people feel happiest?
A Normally, people with two longer types of the happy gene
feel the happiest.

Long 도입 In fact, I think both factors matter greatly.
TALK 근거1 First, people’s general attitude can significantly affect how

they live their life. Optimistic people look for the good in
a situation while pessimistic people focus on the negative
aspects of a situation.
근거2 Second, the importance of environment cannot be ignored.
A person whose life is filled with tragedy and disaster is
much less likely to find happiness than someone without
those problems.
마무리 Therefore, both of these factors heavily influence a person’s
level of happiness.

사실 두 요인 모두 많이 중요하다고 생각합니다.
첫째로, 사람들의 전반적인 태도는 삶을 살아가는 방식에 큰 영향을 미칠 수
있습니다. 긍정적인 사람들은 어떤 상황에서 좋은 점을 찾는 반면, 비관적인
사람들은 상황의 부정적인 면에 중점을 두죠.
둘째로, 환경의 중요성도 간과할 수 없습니다. 비극과 불행으로 가득 찬 삶을
살아가는 사람들은 그런 어려움이 없는 사람들에 비해 행복을 찾을 확률이 훨씬
적을 테니까요.
따라서, 이 두 요인 모두 사람들의 행복 수준에 크게 영향을 미칩니다.
