TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (4/19/2026) – nhl games today

정답: B. 오늘

How to solve: The sentence states 'Tomorrow is the weekend.' and then 'There is a game ( ).' The blank needs a word that indicates when the game is. '오늘' (today) fits best in context, implying that the game is today, and tomorrow is the weekend. '어제' (yesterday) and '내일' (tomorrow) contradict the flow or the explicit '내일' in the first part if it were to refer to the game happening tomorrow. '항상' (always) is not suitable for a specific game.

A — '어제' means 'yesterday'. This does not fit the context where the first part refers to tomorrow and the game is implied to be happening now or soon, relative to the speaking time.

B — '오늘' means 'today'. If 'tomorrow is the weekend', then 'today's game' makes logical sense, indicating a game happening on the current day.

C — '내일' means 'tomorrow'. While '내일' is in the first part of the sentence, placing '내일' in the blank would be redundant and make the sentence less natural (e.g., 'Tomorrow is the weekend. Tomorrow there is a game.'). The question is asking for the day the game actually takes place, not simply repeating 'tomorrow'.

D — '항상' means 'always'. This word indicates frequency, not a specific day, so it does not fit the context of a specific game's timing.

정답: B. 경기

How to solve: The sentence translates to 'I like watching soccer ( ).' The blank requires a noun that is commonly watched in the context of sports like soccer. '경기' (game/match) is the most appropriate word to complete the sentence naturally.

A — '시간' means 'time'. You don't 'watch time' in the context of soccer, although you might watch a soccer game for a certain 'time'.

B — '경기' means 'game' or 'match'. This is the correct word used to refer to a sports event that one watches.

C — '학교' means 'school'. This is completely irrelevant to watching soccer.

D — '식당' means 'restaurant'. This is also irrelevant to watching soccer.

정답: B. 봐요

How to solve: The sentence means 'In the evening, I ( ) a basketball game on TV.' The blank requires a verb that describes what one does with a game on TV. '봐요' (watch/see) is the correct verb.

A — '먹어요' means 'eat'. You don't eat a basketball game.

B — '봐요' means 'watch' or 'see'. This is the appropriate action for a sports game on TV.

C — '자요' means 'sleep'. You don't sleep a basketball game.

D — '사요' means 'buy'. You don't buy a basketball game on TV.

정답: C. 팀

How to solve: The sentence translates to 'I hope our ( ) wins.' The blank needs a noun that can 'win' in the context of a competition. '팀' (team) is the most suitable word.

A — '책' means 'book'. A book cannot win.

B — '집' means 'house' or 'home'. A house cannot win.

C — '팀' means 'team'. A team can win a game or competition, which fits the verb '이기다' (to win).

D — '의자' means 'chair'. A chair cannot win.

정답: B. 정보

How to solve: The sentence translates to 'I looked for ( ) about the next game.' When looking for something 'about' an event like a game, '정보' (information) is the most logical choice.

A — '날씨' means 'weather'. While weather can affect outdoor games, it's not the primary thing one looks for 'about' a game in general, especially if it's an indoor sport like hockey. '정보' is more encompassing.

B — '정보' means 'information'. This is the most appropriate word for what one would search for regarding a game, such as schedule, teams, scores, etc.

C — '음식' means 'food'. One might eat food while watching a game, but you don't look for 'food about' a game.

D — '가격' means 'price'. You might look for the 'price' of a ticket, but '가격 about the game' is not natural; it would be '가격 of the ticket' or '입장료' (admission fee). '정보' is a much more general and fitting term.
