TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (12/9/2025) – dylan harper

정답: B. 가수

How to solve: The sentence states that Dylan Harper is '훌륭한' (excellent) and '노래를 정말 잘해요' (sings very well). Therefore, a profession related to singing is required.

A — 학생 (student) is incorrect because the latter part of the sentence refers to singing, not studying.

B — 가수 (singer) is correct because it aligns with '노래를 정말 잘해요' (sings very well).

C — 의사 (doctor) is incorrect because there is no mention of medical work.

D — 교사 (teacher) is incorrect because there is no mention of teaching.

정답: A. 듣습니다

How to solve: The sentence describes an action related to '뉴스' (news) using '라디오로' (via radio). The most appropriate verb for consuming news via radio is 'to listen'.

A — 듣습니다 (listens) is correct. '뉴스를 듣다' (to listen to the news) is a common phrase when referring to radio or audio news.

B — 봅니다 (sees/watches) is incorrect. You 'watch' news on TV or 'see' printed news, but not usually 'watch' news on the radio.

C — 만듭니다 (makes) is incorrect. One does not 'make' the news every morning via radio in this context.

D — 읽습니다 (reads) is incorrect. You 'read' news from a newspaper or screen, but not typically 'read' news from the radio.

정답: B. 친절하게

How to solve: The sentence indicates that Dylan Harper '항상 다른 사람들을 ( ) 도와줍니다' (always helps other people ( )). We need an adverb that describes the manner of helping, often positively.

A — 빠르게 (quickly) is incorrect. While one can help quickly, '친절하게' is a more common and fitting adjective when describing someone who 'always helps others'.

B — 친절하게 (kindly) is correct. '친절하게 도와주다' (to help kindly) is a very natural and positive expression describing someone's helpful nature.

C — 혼자 (alone) is incorrect. This means helping 'alone' which doesn't fit the context of describing how one helps others.

D — 아쉽게 (regrettably/unfortunately) is incorrect. This adverb carries a negative connotation and does not fit with the act of helping others.

정답: C. 헬스장

How to solve: The sentence states that Dylan Harper '주말마다 건강을 위해 ( )에서 운동을 합니다' (exercises every weekend for health in the ( )). We need a place where people typically go to exercise.

A — 시장 (market) is incorrect. People go to the market to buy groceries, not typically to exercise.

B — 도서관 (library) is incorrect. People go to the library to read or study, not to exercise.

C — 헬스장 (gym) is correct. '헬스장' is the most common place for indoor exercise, fitting '운동을 합니다' (exercises).

D — 카페 (cafe) is incorrect. People go to a cafe to drink coffee or relax, not to exercise.

정답: B. 바로

How to solve: The sentence implies that Dylan Harper is leaving for a business trip to Busan '내일 ( )' (tomorrow ( )). We need an adverb that suggests an immediate or direct departure tomorrow.

A — 처음 (first time) is incorrect. It refers to the first instance of something, not the timing of departure.

B — 바로 (right away/immediately/directly) is correct. '내일 바로 떠납니다' means 'will leave directly/right away tomorrow', implying a definite and immediate plan for tomorrow.

C — 오늘 (today) is incorrect. The sentence specifies '내일' (tomorrow), so '오늘' (today) is contradictory.

D — 나중에 (later) is incorrect. This would imply leaving at a later, unspecified time, which contradicts the directness suggested by '내일'.
