TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [Vocabulary] 1–5 (4/2/2026) – reid wiseman daughters

정답: B. 재미있게

How to solve: The sentence means 'Children play ( ) in the park.' We need an adverb that describes playing in an enjoyable way. '재미있게' means 'funnily' or 'enjoyably,' which fits the context best.

A — 열심히 means 'hard' or 'diligently.' While children might play hard, '재미있게' is a more common and natural adverb to describe children playing.

B — 재미있게 means 'funnily' or 'enjoyably.' This is the most suitable adverb to describe children playing in a park, implying they are having fun.

C — 조용히 means 'quietly.' Children usually play actively and often not quietly, so this does not fit the context well.

D — 빨리 means 'quickly.' While children might play quickly, '재미있게' better describes the nature of their play in general.

정답: D. 딸

How to solve: The sentence means 'I have one ( ) and one son.' To complete the sentence describing a family structure with a son, the most appropriate counterpart is 'daughter.'

A — 아버지 means 'father.' This is a parent, not a sibling or child to match with 'son.'

B — 어머니 means 'mother.' This is also a parent.

C — 누나 means 'older sister' (for a male). This is a sibling, but the structure '한 명과 아들 한 명이 있습니다' implies another child of the speaker, not a sibling.

D — 딸 means 'daughter.' This perfectly complements '아들 (son)' to describe having two children.

정답: A. 읽어요

How to solve: The sentence means 'Mom ( ) books to children.' When it comes to books and children, the most common action a mother would perform is 'reading' them. '읽어요' means 'reads.'

A — 읽어요 means 'reads.' This is the most natural action for a mother to do with books for children.

B — 만들어요 means 'makes.' One doesn't 'make' books to children in this context.

C — 먹어요 means 'eats.' Books are not edible, so this is incorrect.

D — 입어요 means 'wears.' Books are not clothing, so this is incorrect.

정답: A. 작은

How to solve: The sentence means 'Children play with ( ) toys.' While '큰' (big) could also fit, '작은' (small) is a very common and simple adjective to describe toys, especially those children can easily hold and manipulate. Both '작은' and '큰' are plausible but '작은' is perhaps more typical for individual toys. In TOPIK I, simple and common descriptions are often tested.

A — 작은 means 'small.' Children often play with small toys, and this is a common and appropriate description.

B — 큰 means 'big.' Children can also play with big toys, so this is not necessarily wrong, but '작은' offers a good contrast.

C — 비싼 means 'expensive.' The cost of toys is not a typical descriptive quality when talking about children playing with them in a general sense.

D — 많은 means 'many.' This describes quantity, not the characteristic of a single toy (장난감 is singular unless context suggests otherwise for many individual toys).

정답: D. 간식

How to solve: The sentence means 'When children come back from school, they eat ( ).' Children typically come home from school in the afternoon, before dinner. The meal they would usually have at this time is a 'snack.'

A — 점심 means 'lunch.' Children eat lunch at school, not usually right after returning home.

B — 아침 means 'breakfast.' This is eaten in the morning, before school.

C — 저녁 means 'dinner.' Dinner is typically eaten later in the evening with the family.

D — 간식 means 'snack.' This is the most appropriate meal or food item for children to eat after school before dinner.
