TOPIK Korean 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: 우리 회사의 업무는 월요일부터 금요일까지 이루어지며 ________ 및 일요일은 휴무입니다.
- 목요일
- 토요일 (Correct answer)
- 화요일
- 수요일
Correct answer: 토요일
The sentence states that work is done from Monday to Friday, implying that the weekend days are holidays. Therefore, if Sunday is already mentioned as a holiday, the other common weekend holiday is Saturday. '토요일' (Saturday) logically completes the sentence to indicate the full weekend as non-working days for the company.
Question 2: 비자를 받기 위해 대사관을 방문해야 합니다 ___.
- 연장하려면 (Correct answer)
- 예매하려면
- 연락하려면
- 약속하려면
Correct answer: 연장하려면
The sentence states the need to visit the embassy to 'get a visa.' Among the options, '연장하려면' (to extend) is the most appropriate action related to a visa that would require an embassy visit. Embassies are the official bodies responsible for issuing, renewing, and extending visas for foreign nationals.
Question 3: 요즘은 너무 바빠서 해야 할 일을 자주 잊어버립니다. 중요한 정보를 잊지 않으려면 그것을 적어 두는 습관을 키워야 했습니다.
- 따로
- 일찍
- 잘못
- 자꾸 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 자꾸
The first sentence states '요즘은 너무 바빠서 해야 할 일을 자주 잊어버립니다' (These days I'm so busy that I *often* forget things I need to do). The blank is in this sentence, implying that the speaker *repeatedly* or *frequently* forgets things. '자꾸' means repeatedly or frequently, which perfectly fits the context of forgetting things often due to busyness.
Question 4: 신용카드로 결제가 가능한가요? 사과드립니다. 카드는 사용할 수 없습니다. ______로 계산해주세요.
- 세금
- 영수증
- 현금 (Correct answer)
- 도장
Correct answer: 현금
The dialogue indicates that credit cards cannot be used for payment, as the speaker apologizes and states '카드는 사용할 수 없습니다.' In such a situation, the alternative method of payment is typically cash. Therefore, '현금' (cash) is the most logical word to fill the blank, instructing the customer to pay using cash.
Question 5: 첫 월급 받으면 부모님께 선물을 보내는 대신 _________로 가겠습니다. 필요한 물건도 사고, 맛있는 음식도 먹을 수 있었으면 좋겠습니다.
- 사.교통카드
- 일.통장
- 이.입장권
- 삼.용돈 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 삼.용돈
The speaker mentions receiving their first salary and wanting to buy necessary things and eat delicious food. Giving '용돈' (pocket money/allowance) to parents is a common Korean custom, allowing the parents to use the money as they wish for necessities or treats. This option best fits the context of providing financial support or a monetary gift that parents can use freely.
Question 6: 가다 . 리한 씨는 현재 고향으로 돌아가고 있다고 말했습니다. 그렇다면 어떻게? 그러니 곧 축하 행사를 열어야 할 것 같습니다.
- 환송 (Correct answer)
- 생일
- 승진
- 환영
Correct answer: 환송
The sentence states that Mr. Rihan is '고향으로 돌아가고 있다' (returning to his hometown), which implies he is leaving his current location. Therefore, a '축하 행사' (celebration/event) for someone who is leaving would be a '환송' (farewell) party. This type of event is held to bid a person goodbye and wish them well on their departure.
Question 7: 이 집은 보증금이 300만원이고, _________의 가치는 40만원입니다. 매달 40만원? 너무 높은. 방이 더 있나요?
- 월세 (Correct answer)
- 요금
- 전세
- 전대
Correct answer: 월세
The dialogue mentions a deposit ('보증금') and then a value of 400,000 won, followed by '매달 40만원?' (400,000 won *every month*?). This clearly indicates a recurring monthly payment for housing, which is '월세' (monthly rent). The speaker's reaction '너무 높은' (too high) further confirms it's a regular payment for accommodation.
Question 8: 오늘은 월요일이에요. 내일은 _________입니다.
- 수요일
- 목요일
- 금요일
- 화요일 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 화요일
This is a basic question about the sequence of the days of the week. If today is Monday ('월요일'), then the day immediately following Monday is Tuesday ('화요일'). This is a fundamental concept in Korean vocabulary and calendar knowledge.
Question 9: 요즘은 집에서 한국어를 공부해요. 나는 인터넷으로 한국어 수업을 들으면서 매일 ___________ 10개의 새로운 단어를 ___________합니다.
- 알립니다
- 소개합니다
- 만듭니다 (Correct answer)
- 외웁니다
Correct answer: 만듭니다
The sentence describes studying Korean at home and taking online classes, specifically mentioning learning '10개의 새로운 단어를' (10 new words). When learning new vocabulary, the most common and logical action is to 'memorize' them. Therefore, '외웁니다' (memorize) is the appropriate verb to complete the sentence, indicating the daily practice of memorizing new Korean words.
Question 10: A: 다른 곳에 없으면 오늘 나랑 같이 식사할래? 응, 같이 먹자고 했어.
- 날찌
- 야속 (Correct answer)
- 시간
- 계산
Correct answer: 야속
The dialogue describes two people agreeing to eat together, which constitutes making a plan or an appointment. The word '약속' (yak-sok) directly translates to a promise or an appointment, fitting the context of agreeing to meet and eat. The other options like '날짜' (date), '시간' (time), or '계산' (bill) do not capture the essence of making an agreement to meet.
Question 11: A: 달러를 한국돈으로 바꾸고 싶어요. 다음에 무엇을 해야 합니까? 나: 은행에서는 _________할 수 있습니다. 은행을 방문하세요.
- 환전 (Correct answer)
- 편지
- 통장
- 송금
Correct answer: 환전
The speaker explicitly states they want to '바꾸고 싶어요' (want to exchange) dollars for Korean money. The term '환전' (hwan-jeon) specifically means currency exchange, which is the service offered by banks for converting one currency to another. Therefore, it is the most appropriate word to fill in the blank, indicating what one can do at a bank when wanting to exchange money.
