It&#8217;s a question of reading the sentences and choosing the right place. This type also appears in difficult complex problems later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Words such as &#8216;\uc774, \uadf8, \uc800, this, that, that&#8217; or &#8216;\uadf8\ub798\uc11c, \uadf8\ub7ec\ub098, \ud558\uc9c0\ub9cc, so, but&#8217; can act as hints and help solve problems. A good solution is to try solving the problem one more time, suspecting that even if you find the answer, you might end up in the last sentence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_7-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3179\" style=\"width:787px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_7-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_7-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_7-60x34.jpg 60w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_7.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"test-35-to-38-choosing-a-topic-for-your-article\">Test #35 to #38 : Choosing a topic for your article<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common question in TOPIK reading test 35 to 38 and in complex questions is the question of choosing an appropriate topic. This is a test where you have to read a long text and choose the sentence that best fits the topic. For problems like this, it&#8217;s important to quickly grasp the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The central sentence containing the topic of the article usually appears at the beginning, middle, or end of the article, so a good way to solve the problem is to quickly understand the structure of the article, find the central sentence, and quickly identify the topic. Mindlessly reading and solving a text from beginning to end is a bad method that reduces accuracy and takes a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_8-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3181\" style=\"width:780px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_8-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_8-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_8-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_8-60x34.jpg 60w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_8.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"test-16-to-18-28-to-31-choose-the-sentence-that-fits-the-blank\">Test #16 to #18, #28 to #31 : Choose the sentence that fits the blank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the question of choosing the right sentence for the blank space in the TOPIK test, which is the most complex and difficult for students. It is a matter of reading the text and choosing the most appropriate sentence within the &#8216;parentheses ( )&#8217;. This is also the type of problem that comes up most frequently in topic reading. Usually, when solving a problem like this, many students think that they have to read the entire text to solve it, but instead of reading the whole text, they quickly understand the topic, connect it well with words such as &#8216;but, but, so&#8217;, and think logically to solve the problem. This is very important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_9-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3183\" style=\"width:793px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_9-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_9-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_9-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_9-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_9-60x34.jpg 60w, https:\/\/chapterkorean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/11\uc6d4-18\uc77c-\ube14\ub85c\uadf8-\uae00_9.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-type-in-which-several-problems-appear\">A type in which several problems appear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are questions where two or more questions are mixed together during the TOPIK reading test.

Therefore, test preparation should focus not only on problem-solving skills, but also on developing high-level reading skills and language comprehension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to prepare for the various types of questions that may appear on the test, it is important to develop the ability to analyze sentence structure and understand the overall flow of the text. This will also help you improve the skills you need to actually read and understand Korean, rather than just working towards a specific test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an opportunity to not only pass the TOPIK 2 reading test, but also improve your Korean language skills and develop your ability to understand texts in various fields and communicate broadly. Therefore, preparing for the test is not just for taking the test, but is an important step to improve your Korean language skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"outro\">Outro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the TOPIK test question types and preparing effectively is an important process not only for achieving good scores on the test, but also for comprehensively improving your Korean language skills. In the process of preparing for various types of problems, learners can improve their vocabulary, sentence comprehension, and ability to understand the structure of writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TOPIK test is not just a language test, but a test that broadly verifies the skills needed to live and communicate using Korean. Therefore, the process of preparing through problem types contributes to improving broad skills across languages. These skills will enable effective communication not only in the process of learning a language, but also in real-life situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparing for TOPIK test question types will not only greatly contribute to improving your language skills, but will also help you deeply understand and apply various topics in Korean. You may encounter difficulties during this process, but through continued effort and the joy of learning, you will be able to enjoy the journey of achieving your goals. With sufficient effort and preparation, we hope to improve your Korean language skills to the next level through the TOPIK test!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want to study Korean more?
