Lily's Chinese 对话

Hello everyone!
Welcome to TOPIK Writing: Mastering Question 51,
a podcast designed for learners aiming for high scores on the TOPIK II writing section.
I’m your study partner, Summer. 😊

Today, we’ll focus on the practical writing task, question 51,
and go over real test examples and strategies for high scores.
Let’s get started!

🧾 Part 1
Question 51 tests your ability to write short, practical sentences used in daily life.
The key is to write naturally and accurately according to the situation.

Examples include invitations to friends, announcements to colleagues,
or messages via email or text.
The tone and style change depending on the audience and purpose.

Let’s look at a past test example:

수미 씨,
지난번에 빌려간 책,
다 읽었으면 (ㄱ)반납해 주세요.
다른 사람이 기다릴 수 있습니다.
시간을 정해서 (ㄴ) 주시면 좋습니다.
연락 주세요.

In this task, you need to fill in blanks ㉠ and ㉡ with one sentence each.

Short, clear, and appropriate for the context.

📚 Part 2
From past exams, the types are usually:
Invitations → to a friend
Giving reasons → to a company
Making requests → to a friend
Announcements → to a company or school
If you remember these patterns, you can respond more quickly in the exam.

🎯 Part 3
Here are four strategies for a high score:
Skim quickly and find the purpose.
Adjust formality depending on the audience.
Write exactly one sentence per blank.
Review and correct mistakes at the end.

⚠️ Part 4
Don’t copy the text directly; rephrase it.
Pay attention to punctuation like periods and question marks.
If there are two blanks, write one complete sentence for each.



Today we learned about TOPIK II writing question 51,
analyzed a past example, and explored strategies for success.

Remember, the test is a skill.
With patterns and practice, high scores are within your reach!

In the next episode, we’ll solve practice problems together.
Keep up the great work in Korean learning!
I’m Summer, and I’ll see you next time. 👋

Did you know Koreans use the same word for a gentle breeze and a wagging tail? 🍃🐶

'살랑살랑' (Sal-lang-sal-lang) is a pretty Korean word used when the wind or a tail sways lightly and softly.

A pleasant spring breeze coming through the window, a dog affectionately wagging its tail to welcome you, and your heart fluttering sal-lang-sal-lang at the scattering cherry blossom petals. It's a magical word that makes your steps feel light and brings a smile to your face just by saying it out loud.

Today, if a pleasant sal-lang-sal-lang breeze blows, where do you want to go?

Ep.7 살랑살랑 (sal-lang-sal-lang)

New Year is the perfect time for people to try new things, like changing their diet or habits. Some people take part in Veganuary, an annual challenge where they avoid eating animal products like meat, dairy, or eggs during January.

Veganuary first started in 2014 as a fun way to explore a vegan lifestyle and see how it feels. Since then, plant-based eating has gained popularity, and it's not uncommon for restaurants to offer at least one vegan option on their menus.

But a study has found that many meat-eaters end up feeling disgusted by meat after trying Veganuary.

Researchers studied 40 meat-eaters before and after Veganuary.

They found that, although most participants went back to eating meat when the month had ended, they felt more disgusted about doing so. And people who ate the least amount of meat during the challenge felt the most disgust afterwards.

A separate 2023 study on 46 Veganuary participants found that they were much less likely to describe themselves as meat-eaters after taking part in the challenge.

Scientists suggest that this change happens because people feel uncomfortable when their actions don't match their beliefs. Many enjoy the taste and convenience of eating meat, but they also feel guilty about the cruelty of factory farming.

So by giving up meat during Veganuary, participants may start to think more about these issues and develop negative feelings toward eating meat.

This research shows that even a short-term change in behavior can change the way you think, says Natalia Lawrence, a scientist from the University of Exeter who worked on the studies.

"Normally, the idea is to educate people first to change their attitudes, and hopefully they end up changing their behaviour," she told The Guardian.

"But if you persuade people to change their behaviour for a month, it seems that these things follow."
