TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (2/20/2026) – livia kaiser

정답: A. 운동

How to solve: The sentence talks about an activity done every morning. '운동' (exercise) is a common daily activity that fits naturally here. '운동을 하다' means 'to exercise'.

A — 운동 (exercise). '운동을 하다' means to exercise, which is a common daily activity that fits the context of '매일 아침 (every morning)'.

B — 요리 (cooking). '요리를 하다' means to cook. While possible, '운동' is a more common and natural fit for an 'every morning' routine without further context.

C — 쇼핑 (shopping). '쇼핑을 하다' means to shop. Shopping is not typically an 'every morning' activity.

D — 독서 (reading). '독서를 하다' means to read. While possible, '운동' is a more common general activity associated with '아침 (morning)'.

정답: B. 기쁩니다

How to solve: The sentence states that Ms. Livia Kaiser heard '좋은 소식' (good news). Hearing good news typically makes one feel happy. Therefore, '기쁩니다' (is happy) is the most appropriate word.

A — 슬픕니다 (is sad). This is the opposite of how one would feel after hearing good news.

B — 기쁩니다 (is happy). This is the natural emotional response to hearing good news.

C — 바쁩니다 (is busy). This describes a state of being occupied, not an emotion related to hearing news.

D — 아픕니다 (is sick/hurts). This describes a physical state, not an emotional response to good news.

정답: C. 읽습니다

How to solve: The sentence describes going to the '도서관' (library) and doing something with '책' (books). The most common action one does with books at a library is to '읽습니다' (read).

A — 먹습니다 (eats). You don't eat books.

B — 마십니다 (drinks). You don't drink books.

C — 읽습니다 (reads). This is the correct verb for interacting with books, especially in a library.

D — 씁니다 (writes). While one can write in a library, the primary action with '책' (books) in a library is reading them, not writing them.

정답: B. 영화

How to solve: The sentence mentions going to the '영화관' (cinema/movie theater) with a friend to '봤습니다' (watched/saw). What one typically watches at a cinema is a '영화' (movie).

A — 음식 (food). You eat food, you don't typically 'watch' it as the primary activity at a cinema.

B — 영화 (movie). This is what you watch at a '영화관' (cinema).

C — 음악 (music). You listen to music, not 'watch' it in this context (unless it's a music video/concert film, but '영화' is the general term for cinema content).

D — 학교 (school). School is a place, not something you watch at a cinema.

정답: A. 공부합니다

How to solve: The purpose stated is '한국어를 잘하기 위해' (to be good at Korean). The action that directly helps one become good at a language is '공부합니다' (studies).

A — 공부합니다 (studies). This is the direct action taken to become proficient in a language.

B — 청소합니다 (cleans). Cleaning does not help in learning a language.

C — 전화합니다 (calls/makes a phone call). While speaking Korean on the phone can help, '공부하다' is the overarching activity for language learning.

D — 일합니다 (works). Working is generally not the primary activity for improving language skills, although it might involve using the language. '공부하다' is more direct.
