TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘] 1–5 (3/15/2026) – zuby ejiofor

정답: A. 학생

How to solve: This question asks for a common word used in self-introduction. '저는 ____ 입니다' means 'I am ____'. Among the choices, '학생' (student) fits best as a profession or status.

A — 학생 (haksaeng) means 'student', which is appropriate for introducing one's status. It correctly completes the sentence to 'I am a student'.

B — 음식 (eumsik) means 'food', which does not fit in the context of describing oneself.

C — 책 (chaek) means 'book', which does not fit in the context of describing oneself.

D — 학교 (hakgyo) means 'school', which is a place, not a personal status. Therefore, it does not fit here.

정답: C. 학원

How to solve: The sentence means 'Zuby learns Korean at (______)'. We need a place where one typically learns a language. '학원' (hakwon) is an academy or institute, which is a common place for language learning.

A — 집 (jip) means 'house/home'. While one can learn at home, '학원' is a more direct and common answer for a formal learning setting indicated by '배웁니다' (learns).

B — 공원 (gongwon) means 'park'. People usually do not learn Korean formally in a park.

C — 학원 (hakwon) means 'academy' or 'institute', which is a very common place for studying a language. It fits the context perfectly.

D — 시장 (sijang) means 'market'. This is a place for shopping, not typically for formal language learning.

정답: A. 운동

How to solve: The sentence means 'Zuby does (______) at 7 AM every morning'. We need a common activity that fits with '합니다' (does). '운동' (undong) means exercise, which is a common morning activity.

A — 운동 (undong) means 'exercise' or 'sport'. '운동을 합니다' (does exercise) is a correct and common phrase, fitting the context of a morning activity.

B — 날씨 (nalssi) means 'weather', which is not something one 'does'.

C — 시간 (sigan) means 'time', which is not an activity.

D — 그림 (geurim) means 'picture' or 'drawing'. While one can draw ('그림을 그리다'), '그림을 합니다' is grammatically incorrect. The correct verb would be '그리다'.

정답: C. 재미있어요

How to solve: The sentence means 'Zuby is a very (______) person'. We need an adjective to describe a person. '재미있어요' (jaemiisseoyo) means 'is interesting' or 'is fun', and can be used in the descriptive form '재미있는 사람'.

A — 공부 (gongbu) means 'study', which is a noun or verb, not an adjective that directly describes a person's characteristic in this sentence structure.

B — 바빠요 (bappayo) means 'is busy'. While it's an adjective, to fit grammatically here, it would be '바쁜 사람' (a busy person). '재미있는 사람' (an interesting person) is a more commonly learned descriptive adjective at TOPIK I.

C — 재미있어요 (jaemiisseoyo) means 'is interesting' or 'is fun'. It forms the descriptive adjective '재미있는' (interesting/fun) to describe a person, making '재미있는 사람' (an interesting/fun person) a perfect fit.

D — 먹어요 (meogeoyo) means 'eats', which is a verb and does not fit to describe a person's characteristic in this way.

정답: C. 카페

How to solve: The sentence means 'Zuby drinks coffee at (______)'. We need a place where one typically drinks coffee. '카페' (kape) means cafe, which is the most appropriate place among the choices.

A — 연필 (yeonpil) means 'pencil', which is an object, not a place where one drinks coffee.

B — 지갑 (jigap) means 'wallet', which is an object, not a place where one drinks coffee.

C — 카페 (kape) means 'cafe'. This is a common and suitable place to drink coffee, fitting the sentence perfectly.

D — 창문 (changmun) means 'window', which is a part of a building, not a designated place for drinking coffee.
