1Question 1 · 4 points
Listening audio
Answer: ② Audio: Man: "Do you like apples?"
Choices: ① Yes, there are no apples. ② Yes, I like apples. ③ No, apples are expensive. ④ No, I buy apples.
Why correct (②): The question "사과를 좋아해요?" is a yes/no question asking about preference. Answering "네, 사과를 좋아해요" (Yes, I like apples) directly and logically responds to the question.
Why wrong: ① talks about the existence of apples, not about liking them. ③ comments on price, which is irrelevant to the question. ④ describes an action (buying), not a feeling or preference.
Key point: When answering a yes/no preference question with 좋아해요?, mirror the verb in your answer: 네, 좋아해요 or 아니요, 안 좋아해요.
Transcript 남자: 사과를 좋아해요?
2Question 2 · 3 points
Listening audio
Answer: ② Audio: Woman: "Is the bag big?"
Choices: ① Yes, there is a bag. ② No, the bag is small. ③ Yes, I buy a bag. ④ No, the bag is pretty.
Why correct (②): The question asks whether the bag is big (커요). The natural negative answer is the antonym: 작아요 (small). "아니요, 가방이 작아요" (No, the bag is small) is the perfect denial.
Why wrong: ① addresses existence (있어요), not size. ③ describes an action (buying). ④ comments on appearance (예뻐요), not size — and pairing 아니요 with 예뻐요 is logically contradictory.
Key point: When a yes/no question uses a descriptive verb (형용사), the negative answer uses the opposite adjective: 크다 ↔ 작다 (big ↔ small).
Transcript 여자: 가방이 커요?

Listening audio
Answer: ④ Audio: Woman: "처음 뵙겠습니다." (It's nice to meet you for the first time.)
Choices: ① Goodbye (said to someone leaving). ② Long time no see. ③ I will eat well (said before a meal). ④ Nice to meet you / I'm glad to meet you.
Why correct (④): 처음 뵙겠습니다 is the formal greeting used when meeting someone for the first time. The standard response is 반갑습니다 (Nice to meet you / Pleased to meet you), which matches the context perfectly.
Why wrong: ① 안녕히 가세요 is a farewell expression. ② 오랜만이에요 is used when reuniting after a long time — the opposite of a first meeting. ③ 잘 먹겠습니다 is said before eating a meal.
Key point: 처음 뵙겠습니다 (honorific) ↔ 처음 만나요 (casual). The standard reply is 반갑습니다 or 저도 반갑습니다.
Transcript 여자: 처음 뵙겠습니다.

Listening audio
Answer: ② Audio: Woman: "Please give me two breads and one milk." / Man: "Yes, that will be 5,000 won in total."
Choices: ① Flower shop ② Bakery ③ Pharmacy ④ Airport
Why correct (②): The woman orders bread (빵) and milk. The man names a price. The location that sells bread is a bakery (빵집). The items ordered and the transaction context confirm this.
Why wrong: ① A flower shop sells flowers, not bread. ③ A pharmacy sells medicine. ④ An airport is for travel, not buying bread.
Key point: 빵집 = bakery. Common place-identification clues: items sold + price transaction. 주세요 (please give me) signals a purchase.
Transcript 여자: 빵 두 개하고 우유 한 개 주세요. 남자: 네, 모두 오천 원입니다.
5Question 5 · 3 points
Listening audio
Answer: ① Audio: Man: "I want to cut my hair short." / Woman: "Yes, please sit here."
Choices: ① Hair salon ② Classroom ③ Park ④ Bookstore
Why correct (①): 머리를 자르다 means to cut one's hair. The woman then directs the man to a seat, which is typical behavior in a hair salon (미용실).
Why wrong: ② A classroom is for studying, not haircuts. ③ A park is outdoors. ④ A bookstore sells books.
Key point: 머리를 자르다 = to cut hair → 미용실 (hair salon). Also: 미용실 can be used for both cutting (자르다) and styling (하다) hair.
Transcript 남자: 머리를 짧게 자르고 싶어요. 여자: 네, 이쪽에 앉으세요.

6Question 6 · 3 points
Listening audio
Answer: ④ Audio: Woman: "I have one older brother (오빠). I also have a younger brother (남동생)." / Man: "I have two older sisters (누나)."
Choices: ① Friends ② Weekend ③ School ④ Family
Why correct (④): 오빠 (older brother for females), 남동생 (younger brother), and 누나 (older sister for males) are all family members. The conversation is clearly about family composition.
Why wrong: ① Friend-related vocabulary (친구, 동료) is absent. ② No mention of weekend activities. ③ No school vocabulary used.
Key point: Korean family terms are gender-specific: 오빠 (older brother, used by females), 형 (older brother, used by males), 누나 (older sister, used by males), 언니 (older sister, used by females).
Transcript 여자: 오빠가 한 명 있어요. 남동생도 있어요. 남자: 저는 누나가 두 명 있어요.
7Question 7 · 4 points
Listening audio
Answer: ③ Audio: Man: "I often listen to music." / Woman: "I like drawing pictures."
Choices: ① Exercise/Sports ② School vacation ③ Hobby ④ Travel
Why correct (③): Listening to music (노래를 듣다) and drawing pictures (그림을 그리다) are both leisure activities done for enjoyment — classic examples of hobbies (취미).
Why wrong: ① Exercise words like 운동하다, 달리다, etc. are absent. ② No reference to holidays or breaks. ④ No travel vocabulary (여행, 비행기, etc.).
Key point: 취미 (hobby) = activities done regularly for enjoyment. Common hobby expressions: 음악을 듣다 (listen to music), 그림을 그리다 (draw), 책을 읽다 (read books), 요리를 하다 (cook).
Transcript 남자: 저는 노래를 자주 들어요. 여자: 저는 그림 그리는 것을 좋아해요.

Listening audio
①②③④
Answer: ② Audio: Woman: "Please lend me this umbrella. It's raining." / Man: "Sure, here it is. Please bring it back tomorrow."
Choices: ① A picture of the woman giving an umbrella to the man. ② A picture of the man handing an umbrella to the woman (rain visible outside). ③ A picture of the two walking together under an umbrella. ④ A picture of the man buying an umbrella.
Why correct (②): The woman asks to borrow (빌려주세요) the umbrella and the man hands it to her (여기 있어요). The direction of transfer is man → woman, matching choice ②.
Why wrong: ① The direction is reversed — the woman gives, not receives. ③ They are not walking together outside. ④ There is no mention of buying; borrowing (빌리다) ≠ buying (사다).
Key point: 빌려주다 = to lend something to someone. 빌리다 = to borrow. 가져오다 = to bring back. Identifying the direction of an action (who does what to whom) is key for picture-matching questions.
Transcript 여자: 이 우산 좀 빌려주세요. 비가 와요. 남자: 네, 여기 있어요. 내일 가져오세요.

Listening audio
Answer: ③ Audio: Woman: "Minsu, do you want to have lunch together?" / Man: "Sorry. I ate breakfast late so I'm not hungry now." / Woman: "Then how about around 2 o'clock?" / Man: "Sounds good. Let's meet at 2."
Choices: ① The man is hungry now. ② The woman ate breakfast late. ③ The two will have lunch at 2 o'clock. ④ The man will not eat lunch.
Why correct (③): The man agrees to meet at 2 o'clock (두 시에 만나요), and since they were planning to eat lunch together, they will have lunch at 2.
Why wrong: ① The man says he is NOT hungry (배가 안 고파요). ② It was the MAN who ate breakfast late, not the woman. ④ They plan to eat lunch together — just later.
Key point: ~어서 = because/so (causal connective). 배가 고프다 = to be hungry. 배가 안 고프다 = to not be hungry. Pay attention to who did what — mixing up subjects is a common trap.
Transcript 여자: 민수 씨, 점심 같이 먹을래요? 남자: 미안해요. 저는 아침을 늦게 먹어서 지금 배가 안 고파요. 여자: 그럼 두 시쯤 어때요? 남자: 좋아요. 두 시에 만나요.

Answer: ③ Audio: Man: "Sumi, what are you doing this weekend?" / Woman: "I'm going to Busan with a friend. I'll take the train." / Man: "What will you do in Busan?" / Woman: "I'll see the sea and also take photos."
Choices: ① The woman goes to Busan alone this weekend. ② The woman will go to Busan by airplane. ③ The woman will take photos in Busan. ④ The man will go to Busan together with the woman.
Why correct (③): The woman explicitly says 사진도 찍을 거예요 (I will also take photos), which matches choice ③.
Why wrong: ① She goes with a friend (친구와), not alone. ② She says 기차로 (by train), not airplane. ④ The man asks questions but is not mentioned as going along.
Key point: ~도 = also/too. 기차로 = by train (로 marks the means of transport). 바다를 보다 = to see the sea. 사진을 찍다 = to take photos.
Transcript 남자: 수미 씨, 이번 주말에 뭐 해요? 여자: 친구와 부산에 가요. 기차로 갈 거예요. 남자: 부산에서 뭐 할 거예요? 여자: 바다도 보고 사진도 찍을 거예요.
11Question 11 · 3 points
Listening audio
Answer: ④ Audio: Woman: "Customer, how are these shoes?" / Man: "I like the color, but they're a bit small. Do you have a bigger size?" / Woman: "Yes, we have one size bigger. I'll bring it for you." / Man: "Thank you."
Choices: ① The man dislikes the color of the shoes. ② The shoes are too big. ③ The woman is a customer at the shoe store. ④ The man wants to try on bigger shoes.
Why correct (④): The man says the color is good (마음에 들다) but the shoes are small (작아요), and he asks for a bigger size (더 큰 거). This shows he wants to try on larger shoes.
Why wrong: ① He says 색깔은 마음에 들다 — he LIKES the color. ② He says the shoes are SMALL (작아요), not big. ③ 손님 (customer) refers to the man; the woman is the sales clerk (점원).
Key point: 마음에 들다 = to be pleasing / to like something. ~는데 = contrast connector (but). 더 큰 = bigger (comparative). 손님 = customer/guest.
Transcript 여자: 손님, 이 신발은 어떠세요? 남자: 색깔은 마음에 드는데 좀 작아요. 더 큰 거 있어요? 여자: 네, 한 번 더 큰 사이즈가 있어요. 가져다 드릴게요. 남자: 감사합니다.

Listening audio
Answer: ② Audio: Woman: "Minho, do you exercise every morning?" / Man: "Yes, I walk for 30 minutes each morning. When I walk in the morning, my body feels light and my whole day goes well. You should try it too, Sumi."
Choices: ① The man wakes up early every morning. ② Morning exercise is good for the body. ③ The man exercises for 30 minutes. ④ Walking is difficult.
Why correct (②): The man's key message is that morning walking makes his body feel light (몸이 가볍다) and his day better (하루가 좋아요), and he recommends it to the woman. The central idea is that morning exercise is beneficial.
Why wrong: ① Not stated in the conversation. ③ This is a supporting detail (how long he walks), not the main idea. ④ The man never says walking is difficult — he recommends it.
Key point: For main-idea questions, focus on what the speaker emphasizes or recommends, not just factual details. 한번 해 보세요 (Please try it once) signals a recommendation, hinting at the speaker's core belief.
Transcript 여자: 민호 씨, 매일 아침에 운동해요? 남자: 네, 아침에 삼십 분씩 걸어요. 아침에 걸으면 몸이 가볍고 하루가 좋아요. 수미 씨도 한번 해 보세요.
13Question 13 · 3 points
Listening audio
Answer: ② Audio: Man: "The kimchi jjigae you made yesterday was really delicious." / Woman: "Thank you. I find making Korean food fun. It's difficult, but I feel great after making and eating it. Next time I want to try making bibimbap."
Choices: ① Korean food is easy to make. ② The woman likes making Korean food. ③ The man makes kimchi jjigae well. ④ Bibimbap is difficult to make.
Why correct (②): The woman says making Korean food is 재미있다 (fun/interesting), eating it makes her 기분이 좋다 (feel good), and she wants to try more dishes. Her central idea is that she enjoys making Korean food.
Why wrong: ① She actually says it's difficult (어렵지만 = although it's hard). ③ The man compliments the woman's cooking — he didn't make it. ④ She doesn't say bibimbap is hard; she just wants to try making it.
Key point: 재미있다 = fun/interesting. 기분이 좋다 = feel good. ~고 나서 = after doing ~. The word 어렵지만 (though difficult) followed by positive outcomes shows that difficulty doesn't diminish her enjoyment.
Transcript 남자: 수미 씨, 어제 만든 김치찌개가 정말 맛있었어요. 여자: 고마워요. 저는 한국 음식 만드는 게 재미있어요. 어렵지만 만들고 나서 먹으면 기분이 좋아요. 다음에는 비빔밥을 만들어 보고 싶어요.

남자가 왜 이 이야기를 하고 있는지 고르십시오.
Answer: ① Audio (announcement): "(Ding-dong-dang) Hello. This is the Haengbok Apartment management office. Tomorrow, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., there will be no water. This is because we will be cleaning the apartment's water system. Please store water early tomorrow morning in advance. After 1 p.m., you will be able to use water again. Thank you. (Dang-dong-ding)"
Choices: ① To inform residents of the water cleaning schedule. ② To introduce a new apartment. ③ To guide residents to the management office. ④ To collect water fees.
Why correct (①): The announcement informs residents about the time when water will be unavailable due to cleaning (물 청소). This is a notice about the water maintenance schedule.
Why wrong: ② No new apartment is being introduced. ③ The location of the management office is not mentioned. ④ There is no mention of payment.
Key point: 관리 사무소 = management office. 미리 = in advance. ~기 때문에 = because. 공지/안내 (announcement) type questions focus on WHY the speaker is speaking — look for the main purpose.
Transcript (딩동댕) 안녕하세요. 행복 아파트 관리 사무소입니다. 내일 오전 아홉 시부터 오후 한 시까지 물이 안 나옵니다. 아파트 물 청소를 하기 때문입니다. 그래서 내일 아침 일찍 물을 미리 받아 두시기 바랍니다. 오후 한 시 이후에는 다시 물을 쓰실 수 있습니다. 감사합니다. (댕동딩)

Answer: ④ Audio: Same as Q14 — the apartment management office announces that water will be off from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. tomorrow for cleaning, and will be available again after 1 p.m.
Choices: ① There will be no water all day tomorrow. ② The water cleaning starts in the afternoon. ③ Residents must pay extra for water. ④ Water can be used after 1 p.m.
Why correct (④): The announcement explicitly states 오후 한 시 이후에는 다시 물을 쓰실 수 있습니다 (After 1 p.m., you can use water again).
Why wrong: ① Water is off only from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., not all day. ② Cleaning starts at 9 a.m. (오전), not in the afternoon (오후). ③ No mention of additional fees.
Key point: 이후 = after/from ~ onward. 하루 종일 = all day long. ~부터 ~까지 = from ~ to ~. Always check the exact time ranges mentioned in announcements.
Transcript (딩동댕) 안녕하세요. 행복 아파트 관리 사무소입니다. 내일 오전 아홉 시부터 오후 한 시까지 물이 안 나옵니다. 아파트 물 청소를 하기 때문입니다. 그래서 내일 아침 일찍 물을 미리 받아 두시기 바랍니다. 오후 한 시 이후에는 다시 물을 쓰실 수 있습니다. 감사합니다. (댕동딩)

1Question 16 · 2 points
저는 사과를 좋아합니다. 동생은 딸기를 좋아합니다.
Answer: ① Passage: "I like apples. My younger sibling likes strawberries."
Choices: ① Fruit ② Food ③ Vegetables ④ Gifts
Why correct (①): Both 사과 (apple) and 딸기 (strawberry) are fruits. The passage is specifically about fruit preferences.
Why wrong: ② Food (음식) is a broader category that includes everything — too general. ③ Vegetables (채소) — apples and strawberries are not vegetables. ④ Gifts (선물) — there is no mention of giving gifts.
Key point: 사과 = apple, 딸기 = strawberry, 바나나 = banana, 포도 = grapes, 수박 = watermelon — all 과일 (fruits). Distinguishing fruits from vegetables and other food items is tested at TOPIK I level.
2Question 17 · 2 points
저는 한국말을 배웁니다. 친구는 일본말을 배웁니다.
Answer: ② Passage: "I am learning Korean. My friend is learning Japanese."
Choices: ① Hobby ② Study ③ Travel ④ Exercise
Why correct (②): 배우다 means to learn, and learning a language is a form of studying (공부). Both sentences are about learning languages.
Why wrong: ① Hobby (취미) could overlap, but the specific activity described — learning a language — is studying. ③ Travel (여행) — no travel-related vocabulary. ④ Exercise (운동) — no physical activity mentioned.
Key point: 배우다 = to learn. 공부하다 = to study. Language learning (말/언어를 배우다) falls under 공부 in TOPIK I topic questions.

3Question 18 · 2 points
오늘은 날씨가 ( ). 그래서 창문을 열었습니다.
Answer: ④ Passage: "Today the weather is ( ). So I opened the window."
Choices: ① Cold ② Expensive ③ Cloudy ④ Hot
Why correct (④): The logical reason to open a window is because it is hot (덥다). Opening a window for ventilation/cooling is a natural response to heat.
Why wrong: ① If it were cold (춥다), you would close the window, not open it. ② 비싸다 (expensive) is not a weather adjective and makes no sense here. ③ Cloudy (흐리다) weather doesn't typically cause someone to open a window.
Key point: 그래서 = therefore/so — the blank is the cause, and opening the window is the effect. Weather vocabulary: 덥다 (hot), 춥다 (cold), 흐리다 (cloudy), 맑다 (clear/sunny), 따뜻하다 (warm).
4Question 19 · 2 points
저는 머리가 아픕니다. ( ) 약을 먹었습니다.
Answer: ③ Passage: "I have a headache. ( ) I took medicine."
Choices: ① However/But ② And/Also ③ So/Therefore ④ But/However
Why correct (③): 그래서 (so/therefore) expresses cause and effect. The headache (cause) → taking medicine (result). This is the logical causal connector.
Why wrong: ① 그러나 (however) expresses contrast — not appropriate when the second sentence is the expected result. ② 그리고 (and/also) is a simple additive connector with no causal meaning. ④ 하지만 (but/however) also expresses contrast.
Key point: 그래서 (cause → result). 그러나/하지만 (contrast: A but B). 그리고 (addition: A and B). 그런데 (by the way / unexpected contrast).
5Question 20 · 3 points
도서관( ) 책을 빌렸습니다. 집에서 읽을 겁니다.
Answer: ① Passage: "I borrowed a book from the library( ). I will read it at home."
Choices: ① 에서 (at/from — action location) ② 으로 (by/to — means or direction) ③ 에게 (to/from — person) ④ 부터 (from — starting point in time)
Why correct (①): 에서 marks the location where an action takes place. 도서관에서 책을 빌리다 = to borrow a book at/from the library.
Why wrong: ② 으로 indicates a means (by bus = 버스로) or direction — not appropriate for action location. ③ 에게 is used with people (e.g., 친구에게 = to/from a friend), not places. ④ 부터 marks the starting point of time (e.g., 아홉 시부터 = from 9 o'clock).
Key point: 에 = location of existence (여기에 있어요) or destination. 에서 = location of action (도서관에서 공부하다). 에게 = person (친구에게 주다).

[엄마가 수미에게]
수미야, 엄마는 시장에 다녀올게. 식탁 위에 김밥이 있어. 점심에 먹어. 우유는 냉장고에 있어. 네 시쯤 집에 올 거야. — 엄마
Answer: ③ Passage (note): "[From Mom to Sumi] Sumi, Mom will go to the market and come back. There is kimbap on the dining table. Eat it for lunch. The milk is in the refrigerator. I'll be home around 4 o'clock. — Mom"
Choices: ① Mom went to the market. ② Sumi will eat kimbap for lunch. ③ The milk is on the dining table. ④ Mom will come home around 4 o'clock.
Why correct (③ = the WRONG statement): The note says the milk (우유) is in the refrigerator (냉장고에 있어), NOT on the dining table. Choice ③ incorrectly states the milk is on the table.
Why wrong (i.e., why ①②④ are correct): ① Mom says she's going to the market — TRUE. ② The note says to eat kimbap for lunch — TRUE. ④ Mom says she'll be home around 4 — TRUE.
Key point: 맞지 않는 것 = find the statement that does NOT match the text. Always verify the exact location/time/person against the original. 냉장고 = refrigerator, 식탁 = dining table.

[한국어 노래 동아리]
· 모이는 날: 매주 금요일 · 시간: 오후 다섯 시 ~ 일곱 시 · 장소: 학교 음악실 · 회원: 일학년, 이학년 누구나
* 오월 십 일에 노래 행사를 합니다.
Answer: ① Passage (club notice): "[Korean Song Club] · Meeting day: Every Friday · Time: 5 p.m. ~ 7 p.m. · Location: School music room · Members: Any 1st or 2nd year student * There will be a song event on May 10."
Choices: ① Only 3rd-year students can join. ② Club meetings are held in the school music room. ③ The club meets every Friday. ④ There is a song event on May 10.
Why correct (① = the WRONG statement): The notice says any 1st or 2nd year student (일학년, 이학년 누구나) can join — there is no mention of 3rd-year students, and they are not specifically excluded or included. Choice ① falsely restricts membership to 3rd-year students only.
Why wrong (i.e., ②③④ are correct): ② The music room is the meeting location — TRUE. ③ Meetings are every Friday — TRUE. ④ The song event is on May 10 — TRUE.
Key point: 누구나 = anyone/everyone. 동아리 = club/extracurricular group. 학년 = school year/grade. Watch for 'only ~' or 'just ~' claims in the answer choices — they often contradict the original text.

8Question 23 · 3 points
저는 어제 친구와 같이 동물원에 갔습니다. 동물원에는 사람이 아주 많았습니다. 우리는 코끼리하고 호랑이를 봤습니다. 정말 재미있었습니다.
Answer: ③ Passage: "Yesterday I went to the zoo with my friend. There were a lot of people at the zoo. We saw elephants and tigers. It was really fun."
Choices: ① I went to the zoo alone yesterday. ② There were few people at the zoo. ③ I saw an elephant at the zoo. ④ The zoo was not fun yesterday.
Why correct (③): The passage says 코끼리하고 호랑이를 봤습니다 (we saw elephants and tigers). Choice ③ correctly states that the speaker saw an elephant.
Why wrong: ① The speaker went with a friend (친구와 같이), not alone. ② The passage says there were MANY people (사람이 아주 많았습니다). ④ The speaker says it was really fun (정말 재미있었습니다).
Key point: 혼자 = alone (vs. 같이/함께 = together). 많다 = many/a lot (vs. 적다 = few). 재미있다 = fun (vs. 재미없다 = not fun). 코끼리 = elephant, 호랑이 = tiger.
9Question 24 · 3 points
저는 매일 아침 일곱 시에 일어납니다. 빵과 우유를 먹고 학교에 갑니다. 학교까지는 버스로 십오 분쯤 걸립니다.
Answer: ④ Passage: "Every morning I wake up at 7 o'clock. I eat bread and milk and then go to school. It takes about 15 minutes to school by bus."
Choices: ① I walk to school. ② I wake up at 9 o'clock. ③ It takes one hour to school. ④ I eat bread and milk every day.
Why correct (④): The passage says 빵과 우유를 먹고 (eats bread and milk) and 매일 아침 (every morning), so eating bread and milk daily is confirmed.
Why wrong: ① The passage says by bus (버스로), not walking. ② The speaker wakes up at 7 (일곱 시), not 9. ③ It takes about 15 minutes (십오 분쯤), not one hour.
Key point: 매일 = every day. 버스로 = by bus (로 = by means of). ~쯤 = approximately. 걸리다 = to take (time). Always check numbers and transportation methods carefully.

저는 한국어를 배운 지 일 년이 되었습니다. 처음에는 한국어가 어려웠습니다. 그런데 매일 조금씩 공부하니까 이제는 친구와 한국어로 이야기할 수 있습니다. 한국어 공부가 재미있습니다.
Answer: ④ Passage: "It has been one year since I started learning Korean. At first, Korean was difficult. But because I studied a little every day, I can now talk with friends in Korean. Studying Korean is fun."
Choices: ① I have many Korean friends. ② Korean is too difficult. ③ I don't want to learn Korean. ④ I find studying Korean enjoyable.
Why correct (④): The final sentence 한국어 공부가 재미있습니다 (Studying Korean is fun) expresses the main idea — the speaker enjoys studying Korean. The passage describes a journey from difficulty to enjoyment.
Why wrong: ① Having many friends is not stated — only that the speaker can now talk with friends. ② Korean was difficult at first, but the speaker overcame that — it is no longer the main message. ③ The speaker is clearly studying and enjoying it, not wanting to quit.
Key point: The main idea (중심 내용) is usually in the final sentence or conclusion of the passage. 재미있다 = fun/interesting = 즐겁다 (enjoyable). 그런데 (however/but) signals a turn from the initial difficulty to current success.

저는 주말마다 자전거를 탑니다. 우리 집 앞에는 강이 있고, 강가에 자전거 길이 있습니다. 자전거를 타면 시원한 바람이 ( ). 그리고 운동도 됩니다. 그래서 저는 주말이 정말 즐겁습니다.

( )에 들어갈 말로 가장 알맞은 것을 고르십시오.
Answer: ③ Passage: "I ride a bicycle every weekend. There is a river in front of my house, and there is a bicycle path along the river. When I ride my bicycle, a cool breeze ( ). And it's also good exercise. So I really enjoy the weekends."
Choices: ① there is / it is (있습니다) ② goes (갑니다) ③ blows (붑니다) ④ comes (옵니다)
Why correct (③): The natural collocate for 바람 (wind/breeze) is 불다 (to blow). 바람이 붑니다 = The wind blows. This is a fixed collocation in Korean.
Why wrong: ① 바람이 있습니다 = "there is wind" — grammatically possible but not the natural expression in this context. ② 바람이 갑니다 = "the wind goes" — unnatural. ④ 바람이 옵니다 = "the wind comes" — not the standard expression.
Key point: 바람이 불다 = the wind blows (set collocation). 비가 오다 = it rains. 눈이 오다 = it snows. Weather collocations are important vocabulary for TOPIK I.

Answer: ② Passage: Same as Q26 — about riding a bicycle on weekends along a riverside path.
Choices: ① I ride a bicycle every day. ② There is a bicycle path along the river. ③ I go to work on weekends. ④ Riding a bicycle is not exercise.
Why correct (②): The passage explicitly states 강가에 자전거 길이 있습니다 (There is a bicycle path along the river).
Why wrong: ① The speaker rides on weekends (주말마다), not every day (매일). ③ The passage says the speaker enjoys weekends — no mention of going to work. ④ The passage says 운동도 됩니다 (it is also good exercise) — the opposite of choice ④.
Key point: 주말마다 = every weekend (≠ 매일 = every day). 강가 = riverside. 운동이 되다 = to serve as exercise / to be good exercise.

한국에는 사계절이 있습니다. 봄에는 꽃이 많이 피고, 여름에는 비가 자주 옵니다. ( ) 가을은 시원하고 단풍이 예쁩니다. 겨울에는 눈이 옵니다. 그래서 저는 한국의 사계절을 모두 좋아합니다.

( )에 들어갈 말로 가장 알맞은 것을 고르십시오.
Answer: ② Passage: "Korea has four seasons. In spring, many flowers bloom, and in summer, it rains often. ( ) Autumn is cool and the autumn leaves are beautiful. In winter, it snows. So I like all four seasons of Korea."
Choices: ① Therefore/So ② And/Also ③ But/However ④ Then/If so
Why correct (②): The passage is listing the four seasons in sequence — spring, summer, (blank) autumn. 그리고 (and) is the additive connector that links the autumn description to the previous sentences about spring and summer.
Why wrong: ① 그래서 signals a cause-effect relationship — autumn is not a result of summer rain. ③ 하지만 suggests contrast — autumn is not contrasted with summer here. ④ 그러면 (then/if so) implies a conditional — not appropriate here.
Key point: 그리고 = and/also (addition). 봄/여름/가을/겨울 = spring/summer/autumn/winter. 사계절 = four seasons. 단풍 = autumn foliage/maple leaves.
14Question 29 · 2 points
이 글은 무엇에 대한 글입니까?
Answer: ④ Passage: Same as Q28 — describes all four seasons in Korea.
Choices: ① Korean food ② Korean clothing ③ Famous places in Korea ④ Korea's four seasons
Why correct (④): The passage explicitly mentions 사계절 (four seasons) and describes spring (봄), summer (여름), autumn (가을), and winter (겨울) in Korea.
Why wrong: ① No food vocabulary appears. ② No clothing vocabulary appears. ③ No famous places are mentioned.
Key point: 사계절 = four seasons. When the entire passage is organized around seasons and their characteristics, the topic is clearly the four seasons.

(가) 그래서 식당에 가서 비빔밥을 먹었습니다. (나) 어제 점심 시간에 배가 많이 고팠습니다. (다) 비빔밥은 정말 맛있었습니다. (라) 다음에 또 먹고 싶습니다.
Answer: ① Sentences: (가) So I went to a restaurant and ate bibimbap. (나) Yesterday at lunchtime, I was very hungry. (다) The bibimbap was really delicious. (라) I want to eat it again next time.
Choices: ① (나)-(가)-(다)-(라) ② (나)-(다)-(가)-(라) ③ (가)-(나)-(다)-(라) ④ (가)-(다)-(나)-(라)
Why correct (①): The logical order is: (나) cause/situation: was very hungry → (가) action/result: went to a restaurant and ate bibimbap (note: 그래서 = therefore, links to the hunger) → (다) evaluation: it was delicious → (라) future intention: want to eat again.
Why wrong: ② Places 다 before 가, but 다 (evaluation) must come after 가 (action). ③ Starts with 가, but 가 contains 그래서 which refers back to a prior cause — 나 must come first. ④ Puts 다 right after 가, then 나 — illogical.
Key point: 그래서 (therefore) always follows a cause sentence — identify the cause first. Sentence ordering follows: situation → action → evaluation → plan/feeling.

(가) 우리는 같이 사진을 많이 찍었습니다. (나) 지난 주말에 친구와 공원에 갔습니다. (다) 그날은 날씨가 정말 좋았습니다. (라) 즐거운 하루였습니다.
Answer: ① Sentences: (가) We took many photos together. (나) Last weekend I went to the park with a friend. (다) The weather that day was really nice. (라) It was an enjoyable day.
Choices: ① (나)-(다)-(가)-(라) ② (다)-(나)-(가)-(라) ③ (나)-(가)-(다)-(라) ④ (다)-(가)-(나)-(라)
Why correct (①): (나) sets the scene (went to the park) → (다) provides background context (그날 = that day, referring to the day in 나) → (가) describes what they did → (라) concludes with an overall feeling.
Why wrong: ② Starts with 다 (weather), but 그날 (that day) in 다 refers to the day mentioned in 나, so 나 must come first. ③ Places 가 before 다, skipping the contextual weather background. ④ Starts with 다 — same problem as ②.
Key point: 그날 = that day — this pronoun (지시어) refers back to a previously mentioned day, signaling it cannot be the opening sentence.

저는 작년부터 작은 화분에 꽃을 키우고 있습니다. ( ㉠ ) 처음에는 꽃을 잘 키우지 못했습니다. ( ㉡ ) 물을 너무 많이 줘서 꽃이 죽었습니다. ( ㉢ ) 그래서 인터넷에서 꽃 키우는 방법을 찾아서 공부했습니다. ( ㉣ ) 지금은 꽃이 아주 예쁘게 잘 자랍니다.

다음 문장이 들어갈 곳으로 가장 알맞은 것을 고르십시오.
<보기> 그때 저는 정말 슬펐습니다.
Answer: ③ Passage: "I have been growing flowers in a small pot since last year. ( ㉠ ) At first I couldn't grow them well. ( ㉡ ) I gave too much water and the flower died. ( ㉢ ) So I searched the internet for how to grow flowers and studied. ( ㉣ ) Now the flowers grow very beautifully."
Sentence to insert: "At that time, I was really sad."
Choices: ① ㉠ ② ㉡ ③ ㉢ ④ ㉣
Why correct (③): 그때 (at that time) refers to the moment the flower died. The sentence about the flower dying ends just before ㉢. Inserting "At that time, I was really sad" right after the death of the flower (before the response action of searching the internet) is most logical and emotionally coherent.
Why wrong: ① Too early — the flower hasn't died yet at ㉠. ② At ㉡, the flower hasn't died yet — it's at this point that too much water is given. ④ At ㉣, the situation has already improved — feeling sad would be out of place.
Key point: 그때 (at that time) is an anaphoric time reference — always find what event it refers to. Insertion questions require understanding the logical and emotional flow of the text.

윗글의 내용과 같은 것을 고르십시오.
Answer: ③ Passage: Same as Q32 — about growing flowers in a pot, killing them with too much water, learning online, and now the flowers grow beautifully.
Choices: ① I grew flowers well from the beginning. ② I learned how to grow flowers from a friend. ③ The flowers are growing well now. ④ Because the flower died, I no longer grow flowers.
Why correct (③): The final sentence 지금은 꽃이 아주 예쁘게 잘 자랍니다 (Now the flowers grow very beautifully) confirms that the flowers are currently growing well.
Why wrong: ① The passage says 처음에는 잘 키우지 못했습니다 (at first couldn't grow well) — the opposite. ② The speaker learned from the internet (인터넷에서), not from a friend. ④ The speaker is still growing flowers — the final sentence proves this.
Key point: 지금은 = now/currently. 잘 자라다 = to grow well. 처음에는 = at first. The narrative arc is: initial failure → setback → learning → current success.

저는 한국에 온 지 여섯 달이 되었습니다. 처음에는 한국 친구가 없어서 외로웠습니다. 그런데 지난달에 학교에서 '한국어 말하기 모임'에 들어갔습니다. 거기에서 한국 친구를 두 명 만났습니다. 우리는 매주 같이 만나서 한국어로 이야기하고 떡볶이도 같이 먹습니다. 친구들 덕분에 한국 생활이 정말 즐거워졌습니다.
19Question 34 · 3 points
필자가 윗글을 쓴 이유로 가장 알맞은 것을 고르십시오.
Answer: ③ Passage: "It has been six months since I came to Korea. At first, I was lonely because I had no Korean friends. But last month, I joined a 'Korean Speaking Club' at school. There I met two Korean friends. We meet together every week, talk in Korean, and eat tteokbokki together. Thanks to my friends, life in Korea has become really enjoyable."
Choices: ① To introduce Korean food. ② To explain how to join a Korean language club. ③ To share the story of making friends in Korea. ④ To explain about a Korean language exam.
Why correct (③): The passage is a personal narrative about being lonely at first, then making friends through a club, and now enjoying life in Korea. The purpose is to share the experience of making Korean friends.
Why wrong: ① Food (tteokbokki) is a detail, not the main topic. ② The club joining is mentioned, but the method/procedure is not explained. ④ No exam is mentioned.
Key point: 덕분에 = thanks to. 외롭다 = to be lonely. ~게 되다 = to come to be (change of state). 즐거워졌습니다 = has become enjoyable (change). The writing purpose question asks WHY the author wrote — look for the central theme of the narrative.
20Question 35 · 3 points
윗글의 내용과 같은 것을 고르십시오.
Answer: ② Passage: Same as Q34.
Choices: ① I have been in Korea for one year. ② I met two Korean friends. ③ I meet my friends every day. ④ I enjoyed life in Korea from the beginning.
Why correct (②): The passage states 한국 친구를 두 명 만났습니다 (I met two Korean friends) — exactly matching choice ②.
Why wrong: ① The speaker has been in Korea for SIX months (여섯 달), not one year (일 년). ③ They meet EVERY WEEK (매주), not every day (매일). ④ The speaker was lonely at first (처음에는 외로웠습니다) — the opposite of enjoying life from the beginning.
Key point: 여섯 달 = six months. 매주 = every week (vs. 매일 = every day). 두 명 = two people. Numbers and frequency adverbs are common test traps — read carefully.
