TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (9/12/2026) – ted lasso – season 4

정답: C. 긍정적인

How to solve: The sentence describes Coach Ted's encouraging nature. '밝고' (bright) suggests a positive emotion. '긍정적인' (positive) fits this context well as it describes an optimistic and hopeful mindset.

A — '어두운' means 'dark'. This is the opposite of '밝고' (bright) and does not fit Ted's character.

B — '조용한' means 'quiet'. While a person can be quiet, it doesn't describe the encouraging and bright aspect of Ted's character in this context.

C — '긍정적인' means 'positive'. This word perfectly describes Ted's optimistic and encouraging attitude, fitting well with '밝고' (bright).

D — '슬픈' means 'sad'. This is the opposite of the cheerful and encouraging tone of the sentence.

정답: B. 성공하다

How to solve: The sentence states that everyone must practice hard ('열심히 연습해야 합니다'). Hard practice is typically done to achieve a positive outcome for the team. '성공하다' (to succeed) is the most fitting positive outcome.

A — '실패하다' means 'to fail'. People do not practice hard to fail.

B — '성공하다' means 'to succeed'. Practicing hard is aimed at achieving success, so this is the correct answer.

C — '싸우다' means 'to fight'. While there might be competition, the primary goal of team practice is not to fight but to improve and win.

D — '쉬다' means 'to rest'. Practicing hard is the opposite of resting, so this does not fit the context.

정답: B. 문제

How to solve: The sentence says Ted never gives up ('절대 포기하지 않습니다') even if something 'difficult' ('어려운') arises. '문제' (problem) is the most common word to describe a difficult situation that one might be tempted to give up on.

A — '선물' means 'gift'. A gift is usually positive and not something difficult that would cause one to give up.

B — '문제' means 'problem'. A difficult problem is a common reason why someone might consider giving up, making this the correct fit.

C — '날씨' means 'weather'. While weather can be difficult, it's less likely to be something Ted Lasso would 'give up' on in the context of his work or personal challenges.

D — '음식' means 'food'. Food is generally not a 'difficult' thing that would lead to giving up in this context.

정답: B. 도와줘

How to solve: The sentence describes Keeley and Roy as '좋은 친구' (good friends). Good friends typically '도와줘' (help) each other. The verb needs to fit with '주는' (giving/doing for someone).

A — '미워해' means 'hate'. Good friends do not hate each other.

B — '도와줘' means 'help'. Helping each other is a characteristic of good friends, making this the correct answer.

C — '속여' means 'deceive/trick'. Good friends do not deceive each other.

D — '괴롭혀' means 'bother/harass'. Good friends do not bother or harass each other.

정답: B. 변화

How to solve: In the context of a new season for a TV show or sports team, it's common to anticipate 'changes' or developments. '변화' (change) fits this expectation well.

A — '고통' means 'pain/suffering'. While challenges might bring pain, 'changes' is a more general and fitting term for what to expect in a new season.

B — '변화' means 'change'. New seasons often bring new plot developments, character arcs, and team dynamics, which are all forms of change. This is the most suitable word.

C — '비밀' means 'secret'. While there might be secrets revealed, 'many secrets' is not the primary expected feature of a new season's developments.

D — '실수' means 'mistake'. While mistakes might happen, the overall expectation for a new season is not primarily 'many mistakes'.
