TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (6/4/2026) – christopher sanchez

정답: C. 일어나서

How to solve: The sentence describes Mr. Christopher Sanchez's daily routine. '매일 아침 일찍' (every morning early) naturally precedes '학교에 갑니다' (goes to school). The most logical action to do early in the morning before going to school is to 'get up'. Therefore, '일어나서' (get up and) is the correct choice.

A — 먹어서 (eat and): While one might eat in the morning, it doesn't fit as the primary action before going to school early in the morning in this context.

B — 읽어서 (read and): Reading is an activity, but not the most fundamental action immediately after 'early morning' before going to school.

C — 일어나서 (get up and): This verb perfectly connects 'early morning' with the subsequent action of 'going to school', forming a logical sequence of events.

D — 만들어서 (make and): 'Make' does not fit the context of preparing to go to school after waking up.

정답: C. 전화기

How to solve: The sentence states that Mr. Christopher Sanchez '음악을 듣는 것을 좋아합니다' (likes listening to music). You need to choose an object that is commonly used for listening to music. Among the given options, '전화기' (phone) is the most suitable device for this purpose.

A — 연필 (pencil): Used for writing or drawing.

B — 의자 (chair): Used for sitting.

C — 전화기 (phone): A widely used device for listening to music, among other functions.

D — 지우개 (eraser): Used for erasing mistakes made with a pencil.

정답: D. 밝은

How to solve: The sentence describes Mr. Christopher Sanchez as '항상 웃고 친절합니다' (always smiles and is kind). These characteristics are typical of a cheerful or bright person. Therefore, '밝은' (bright/cheerful) is the most appropriate adjective to fill the blank.

A — 조용한 (quiet): Someone who is quiet might not always smile, and 'kindness' is a personality trait not directly linked to quietness.

B — 바쁜 (busy): Being busy is about having a lot to do, which does not directly relate to smiling or being kind.

C — 심심한 (bored): A bored person is unlikely to always smile. This contradicts the description.

D — 밝은 (bright/cheerful): This adjective accurately describes someone who 'always smiles and is kind', indicating a positive and lively personality.

정답: A. 빨리

How to solve: The sentence states that Mr. Christopher Sanchez '한국어를 잘하게 되었습니다' (became good at Korean). This outcome implies that he learned the language efficiently or quickly. Among the given adverbs, '빨리' (quickly) best describes a manner of learning that leads to proficiency.

A — 빨리 (quickly): Learning quickly can lead to becoming proficient in a language, making this the most logical choice.

B — 시끄럽게 (loudly): Learning loudly is not a typical or effective way to become good at a language.

C — 어렵게 (difficultly): Learning difficultly would contradict the idea of becoming good at it, as it implies struggles rather than progress.

D — 가깝게 (closely/nearly): This adverb relates to proximity or similarity and does not fit the context of how one learns a language.

정답: A. 같이

How to solve: The sentence indicates that Mr. Christopher Sanchez goes to see a movie '친구들과' (with friends). When performing an activity 'with friends', the natural adverb to describe this is 'together'. Therefore, '같이' (together) is the most suitable word.

A — 같이 (together): This adverb means 'together' and perfectly complements 'with friends' when doing an activity.

B — 위 (up/above): This is a directional noun, not an adverb describing companionship.

C — 아래 (down/below): This is a directional noun, not an adverb describing companionship.

D — 밖 (outside): This is a noun meaning 'outside'. While movies can be watched outside, '밖' doesn't describe the action of going 'with' friends, but rather a location. '같이' is more appropriate for the 'with friends' part.
