TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (1/3/2026) – wsj

정답: A. 학생

How to solve: Identify the role of someone learning Korean. The sentence '저는 한국어를 배우는 [ ]입니다' means 'I am a [ ] learning Korean.' The most suitable word to describe a person who learns is 'student'.

A — Correct. '학생' means student. This fits the context of 'learning Korean'.

B — '회사원' means office worker. While an office worker can learn Korean, '학생' is the primary identity for someone in the act of learning.

C — '의사' means doctor. This is unrelated to the act of learning Korean as a primary descriptor.

D — '선생님' means teacher. A teacher teaches, not primarily learns in this context.

정답: B. 날씨

How to solve: The sentence '오늘 [ ]가 정말 좋아요' means 'Today's [ ] is really good.' Among the choices, '날씨' (weather) is commonly described as '좋다' (good) in this context.

A — '시간' means time. While time can be 'good' in some expressions, '시간이 좋다' is not a common phrase to mean 'time is good' in the same way as weather.

B — Correct. '날씨' means weather. '날씨가 좋다' is a very common phrase meaning 'the weather is good'.

C — '음식' means food. Food can be '맛있다' (delicious) or '좋다' (good), but '음식가 좋다' with this particle is less natural for describing general food quality.

D — '이름' means name. A name is not typically described as '좋다' in this general sense.

정답: B. 마셔요

How to solve: The sentence '저는 아침에 항상 물을 [ ]' means 'I always [ ] water in the morning.' For liquids like water, the verb '마시다' (to drink) is used. The conjugated form is '마셔요'.

A — '먹어요' means to eat. It is used for solid food, not typically for water.

B — Correct. '마셔요' is the conjugated form of '마시다' (to drink), which is appropriate for water.

C — '읽어요' means to read. It is used for books, newspapers, etc., not for drinking water.

D — '써요' can mean to write or to use, depending on context, but it is not used for drinking water.

정답: A. 해요

How to solve: The sentence '제 친구는 한국어를 아주 잘 [ ]' means 'My friend [ ] Korean very well.' To express 'to speak/do Korean (well)', the verb '하다' (to do) is commonly used with '한국어'. The conjugated form is '해요'.

A — Correct. '해요' is from '하다' (to do/to speak). '한국어를 잘 하다' means 'to speak Korean well'.

B — '봐요' is from '보다' (to see/to watch). It doesn't fit the context of speaking Korean.

C — '와요' is from '오다' (to come). It doesn't fit the context.

D — '가요' is from '가다' (to go). It doesn't fit the context.

정답: C. 도서관

How to solve: The sentence '저는 [ ]에서 매일 공부해요' means 'I study every day at the [ ].' The most appropriate place for studying among the choices is a library.

A — '병원' means hospital. People don't typically study daily at a hospital.

B — '회사' means company/office. While one might study for work, '공부하다' in this general sense points to an educational setting.

C — Correct. '도서관' means library. This is a common place for daily studying.

D — '식당' means restaurant. People eat at a restaurant, not typically study daily.
