TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (1/19/2026) – learner tien

정답: A. 학생

How to solve: The sentence states 'I go to school every day.' The blank requires a noun that describes someone who goes to school daily. '학생' (student) is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence naturally, implying 'I go to school as a student'.

A — 학생 (student) – Correct. A student goes to school every day.

B — 회사원 (office worker) – Incorrect. An office worker typically goes to a company, not school.

C — 의사 (doctor) – Incorrect. A doctor works in a hospital or clinic.

D — 선생님 (teacher) – Incorrect. While a teacher goes to school, the phrase '저는 선생님 갑니다' is grammatically awkward and not a natural way to express 'I go as a teacher'. The sentence '저는 학생 갑니다' implies 'I go [as] a student' or 'I am a student [and] go'. '학생' fits the most common interpretation of someone going to school daily.

정답: C. 먹다

How to solve: The first part of the sentence says 'I'm hungry.' The second part expresses a desire related to 'bread.' The verb that naturally follows '빵을' (bread, object) when one is hungry is '먹다' (to eat). The '싶어요' ending means 'want to.'

A — 하다 (to do) – Incorrect. You don't 'do' bread when you're hungry.

B — 보다 (to see/watch) – Incorrect. While you can see bread, the natural desire when hungry is to eat it.

C — 먹다 (to eat) – Correct. When hungry, one wants to eat bread.

D — 자다 (to sleep) – Incorrect. Sleeping is unrelated to being hungry and wanting bread.

정답: B. 친구

How to solve: The sentence describes watching a movie together on the weekend. All choices are people, but '친구' (friend) is the most common person one would casually watch a movie with in general social contexts.

A — 가족 (family) – Plausible, but '친구' is a more common default for 'watching a movie with someone' in general, casual settings, especially in TOPIK I if no specific family relation is implied.

B — 친구 (friend) – Correct. Watching a movie with a friend is a very common weekend activity.

C — 선생님 (teacher) – Incorrect. It's unusual to watch a movie with a teacher in a casual, personal context unless specified.

D — 부모님 (parents) – Plausible, but similar to '가족', '친구' provides a broader and very common context for this type of casual activity.

정답: C. 공부하다

How to solve: The first part of the sentence states 'I want to be good at Korean.' To achieve proficiency in a language, one must 'study' it. The blank requires a verb that means 'to study' in order to achieve the goal mentioned.

A — 운동하다 (to exercise) – Incorrect. Exercising does not directly help with being good at Korean.

B — 청소하다 (to clean) – Incorrect. Cleaning does not help with being good at Korean.

C — 공부하다 (to study) – Correct. To become good at Korean, one needs to study Korean.

D — 요리하다 (to cook) – Incorrect. Cooking does not help with being good at Korean.

정답: D. 갈

How to solve: The sentence says 'I am going to the library tomorrow.' The blank requires a verb that fits with the location '도서관에' (to the library) and the future tense '-을/ㄹ 거예요.' '가다' (to go) is the correct verb. The future tense form of '가다' is '갈 거예요'.

A — 읽을 (to read – future attributive form, from 읽다) – Incorrect. While one might read at a library, '읽을 거예요' would mean 'I will read', which doesn't directly fit with '도서관에' as the main action without an object.

B — 살 (to live/buy – future attributive form, from 살다/사다) – Incorrect. '살다' (to live) or '사다' (to buy) do not fit the context of 'going to the library' as the main action.

C — 볼 (to see/watch – future attributive form, from 보다) – Incorrect. '보다' (to see/watch) does not fit with '도서관에' as the main action, unless it's '책을 볼 거예요' (will read books).

D — 갈 (to go – future attributive form, from 가다) – Correct. '가다' (to go) naturally completes the sentence, 'I will go to the library.' '갈 거예요' is the correct future tense form for 'to go'.
