TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (10/20/2026) – farmers almanac thanksgiving weather 2026

정답: B. 날씨

How to solve: The sentence talks about farmers planting seeds and expecting something good. Among the choices, "날씨" (weather) is the most suitable word that farmers would hope to be good for their crops.

A — 하늘 (sky): While related to weather, "하늘" itself is not something directly "expected" to be good in the context of planting seeds; rather, the *condition* of the sky (weather) is.

B — 날씨 (weather): Farmers plant seeds hoping for good weather conditions (rain, sun, temperature) for their crops to grow well. This fits perfectly.

C — 계절 (season): Farmers know which season it is. They don't "expect" a season, they work within it.

D — 바람 (wind): While wind is part of the weather, expecting "good wind" is not the general hope for crops. "Good weather" encompasses all conditions.

정답: A. 예측

How to solve: The sentence mentions finding something about the future in newspapers or online. "예측" (prediction/forecast) is something about the future that can be found in media.

A — 예측 (prediction/forecast): Weather forecasts or predictions about future events are commonly found in newspapers and online. This is the best fit.

B — 준비 (preparation): Preparations are actions taken, not something directly "found" about the future in news. One might find *information for* preparation.

C — 경험 (experience): Experience refers to past events, not future ones. It cannot be "found" about the future.

D — 기억 (memory): Memory also refers to past events and recollections, not future information.

정답: D. 추수감사절

How to solve: The sentence describes a holiday in the USA in November where families gather. Among the choices, "추수감사절" (Thanksgiving Day) is the only holiday that fits this description.

A — 설날 (Seollal/Lunar New Year): A major Korean holiday, usually in January or February. Not in November in the USA.

B — 추석 (Chuseok/Korean Thanksgiving): A major Korean harvest festival, usually in September or October. Not in November in the USA.

C — 크리스마스 (Christmas): Celebrated in December, not November.

D — 추수감사절 (Thanksgiving Day): Celebrated in November in the USA, where families gather. This is the correct answer.

정답: B. 기온

How to solve: The sentence states that something will be warmer this year compared to last year. "기온" (temperature) is the most appropriate word to describe something being "warmer."

A — 계절 (season): While a season can be warmer, "계절" itself isn't directly warmer; the *temperature* within the season is. "기온" is a more precise fit for "따뜻할 것이다" (will be warm).

B — 기온 (temperature): Temperature directly relates to being "따뜻하다" (warm) or "춥다" (cold). This is the most natural fit.

C — 시간 (time): Time cannot be warmer.

D — 날짜 (date): A date cannot be warmer.

정답: C. 농부

How to solve: The sentence refers to an "almanac" and mentions a prediction. "농부" (farmer) is the most logical word to precede "연감" (almanac) in the context of weather forecasts, similar to "Farmer's Almanac."

A — 학생 (student): A student almanac doesn't make sense in this context.

B — 회사 (company): While a company might publish an almanac, "회사 연감" isn't the most specific fit for weather predictions for farmers.

C — 농부 (farmer): "농부 연감" (Farmer's Almanac) is a well-known concept for weather and agricultural predictions. This is the best fit.

D — 도시 (city): A city almanac is less likely to focus on agricultural or general weather predictions in this specific way.
