TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [vocabulary] 1–5 (7/20/2026) – weather today

정답: C. 맑아요

How to solve: The sentence '기분이 좋아요' (I feel good) suggests pleasant weather. Among the options, '맑아요' (It's clear/sunny) is the most suitable description for good weather that makes one feel good.

A — '흐려요' means 'It's cloudy', which usually doesn't make one feel good.

B — '추워요' means 'It's cold'. While some may like cold, it's not universally associated with 'feeling good' in a general weather context.

C — '맑아요' means 'It's clear/sunny'. Clear and sunny weather often makes people feel happy, fitting the '기분이 좋아요' clue.

D — '더워요' means 'It's hot'. Hot weather can be uncomfortable, so it doesn't fit 'feeling good' as directly as '맑아요'.

정답: C. 비가 와요

How to solve: The instruction '우산을 가져가세요' (Please take an umbrella) is a strong hint. Umbrellas are primarily used to protect from rain. Therefore, '비가 와요' (It's raining) is the correct choice.

A — '눈이 와요' means 'It's snowing'. While an umbrella can be used for snow, '비' (rain) is the most common reason to carry an umbrella.

B — '바람이 불어요' means 'Wind is blowing'. An umbrella is not typically used for wind and can even be damaged by strong winds.

C — '비가 와요' means 'It's raining'. This is the direct and most common reason for needing an umbrella.

D — '해가 떠요' means 'The sun is rising/shining'. This indicates clear weather, so no umbrella is needed.

정답: B. 더워요 – 추워요

How to solve: '여름' means summer, and its typical weather is hot. '겨울' means winter, and its typical weather is cold. The correct pair reflecting these seasons is '더워요' (hot) and '추워요' (cold).

A — '시원해요 – 더워요' (cool – hot) is incorrect as summer is hot and winter is cold, not cool and then hot.

B — '더워요 – 추워요' (hot – cold) correctly describes the typical weather for summer and winter, respectively.

C — '따뜻해요 – 시원해요' (warm – cool) is incorrect for summer and winter; these are more associated with spring and autumn.

D — '추워요 – 따뜻해요' (cold – warm) is the reverse of what is expected for summer and winter.

정답: B. 불어요

How to solve: The phrase '옷을 따뜻하게 입으세요' (wear warm clothes) implies that the wind is cold or strong. With '바람' (wind), the verb '불다' (to blow) is used. Therefore, '불어요' (blows) is the correct fit.

A — '좋아요' means 'good'. '바람이 좋아요' (the wind is nice) wouldn't typically necessitate wearing warm clothes.

B — '불어요' is the correct verb for '바람' (wind). '바람이 불어요' (the wind blows) is appropriate when advising to wear warm clothes due to cold or strong wind.

C — '와요' means 'comes'. While '비가 와요' (it rains) or '눈이 와요' (it snows) are common, '바람이 와요' is not idiomatic.

D — '맑아요' means 'clear/sunny'. This describes the sky, not the wind, and doesn't explain the need for warm clothes directly related to wind.

정답: B. 좋아서

How to solve: The sentence states '공원에 갔어요' (I went to the park). People usually go to a park when the weather is good. The '-아서/어서' ending indicates the reason. Thus, '좋아서' (because it was good) is the logical reason for going to the park.

A — '나빠서' means 'because it was bad'. If the weather was bad, one would typically not go to the park.

B — '좋아서' means 'because it was good'. This is a common and logical reason for going to a park.

C — '흐려서' means 'because it was cloudy'. Cloudy weather is not usually a primary reason to go to the park; '좋아서' is a more general and fitting positive reason.

D — '추워서' means 'because it was cold'. Cold weather would usually discourage a trip to the park.
