TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (2/6/2026) – new show to watch

정답: A. 새로운

How to solve: The sentence indicates that a friend recommended a drama. The most suitable adjective to describe a recommended drama, especially in the context of 'new show to watch', is '새로운' (new). '오래된' (old), '작은' (small), and '차가운' (cold) do not fit the context.

A — '새로운' means 'new'. It perfectly fits the context of recommending a recently released or previously unwatched drama.

B — '오래된' means 'old'. While one can recommend an old drama, '새로운' is a more direct fit for 'new show to watch' theme.

C — '작은' means 'small'. It is unrelated to the quality or nature of a drama.

D — '차가운' means 'cold'. It is unrelated to a drama.

정답: C. 보고

How to solve: The sentence is about wanting to do something with a 'movie' at home on the weekend. The verb associated with watching a movie is '보다' (to see/watch). Therefore, '보고' (from '보다') is the correct choice.

A — '먹고' is from '먹다' (to eat). You don't 'eat' a movie.

B — '자고' is from '자다' (to sleep). You don't 'sleep' a movie.

C — '보고' is from '보다' (to see/watch). This is the correct verb for watching a movie.

D — '읽고' is from '읽다' (to read). You 'read' a book, not a movie.

정답: B. 인기

How to solve: The sentence states that the drama is 'a lot' among viewers. The phrase '인기가 많다' means 'to be popular'. Thus, '인기' (popularity) is the most appropriate word to complete the sentence, indicating the drama's popularity.

A — '친구' means 'friend'. '친구가 많다' means 'to have many friends', which doesn't fit the context of a drama's status among viewers.

B — '인기' means 'popularity'. '인기가 많다' means 'to be popular', which perfectly describes a drama's high standing among viewers.

C — '시간' means 'time'. '시간이 많다' means 'to have a lot of time', which is unrelated to a drama's reception.

D — '생각' means 'thought' or 'idea'. '생각이 많다' means 'to have many thoughts', which is not relevant here.

정답: C. 추천해

How to solve: The speaker is asking for something if there's an interesting program. The most natural request is for a recommendation. '추천하다' means 'to recommend'. Therefore, '추천해 주세요' (please recommend) is the correct phrase.

A — '가지고' is from '가지다' (to have/possess). '가지고 주세요' is grammatically incorrect and doesn't fit the meaning.

B — '만들고' is from '만들다' (to make). You don't 'make' a program for someone in this context.

C — '추천해' is from '추천하다' (to recommend). '추천해 주세요' is a common and appropriate way to ask for a recommendation.

D — '빌려' is from '빌리다' (to borrow). You 'borrow' an item, not a program recommendation in this way.

정답: C. 내용

How to solve: The sentence states that 'tears came out' because something about the movie was 'very touching'. The 'content' or 'story' of a movie is what makes it touching. Thus, '내용' (content) is the correct word.

A — '가격' means 'price'. The price of a movie does not typically make one cry because it's touching.

B — '날씨' means 'weather'. The weather is irrelevant to the emotional impact of a movie.

C — '내용' means 'content' or 'story'. The content of a movie is what evokes emotions like being '감동적' (touching/moving) and can lead to tears.

D — '건물' means 'building'. A building has no direct relation to the emotional impact of a movie's plot.
