Are you preparing TOPIK test?
As you know well, you should practice [reading], [listening] and [writing] to prepare for the TOPIK II.
So I'd like to introduce in particular how I can get help or any way to prepare for [writing] of TOPIK II.

You have to prepare a total of 4 TOPIK II questions.

The quesions are as follows.
Number 51 is writing Practical sentences.
Number 52 is writing Descriptive sentences.
Number 53 is writing a P Describing Data.
Number 54 is writing on a Given topic.
You should prepare and practice these questions types.

The first type of question I will introduce is number 51.
No. 51 contains writing contents such as invitations, notices, and text messages.
You should write a sentence into the ( blank ) in the given writing composed of 4 to 8 sentences.
It is recommended to use words and grammar above the intermediate level.
Considering the time, number 51 should be completed in 5 minutes.

Let's take a look at some strategies for writing answers faster and more accurately now.
The process for No. 51 is as follows.
Strategy 1. Skimming
Skim through the question to the end to find the purpose of the writing.

Strategy 2. Remembering the Formality of Writing
Check the sentence final endings and usage of the casual/formal speech.

Strategy 3. Guessing
Understand the context from the preceding and followig sentences and guess what to write for the answer.

Strategy 4. Correcting Errors
Finally, check it there are any mistakes such as spelling errors or the wrong usage of postpositions and modify them.

You should also check your frequently used grammar and expressions.
1. A request
(1) V-아/어 주십시오.
(2) V-기 바랍니다.

2. plan
(1) V-(으)려고 합니다.
(2) V-고자 합니다.

3. ask
(1) 구합니다.

Through this process, you will be able to understand number 51 more naturally.
If you want to study more detailed and diverse grammar, expressions, and questions together, come to my class.

Describe something you did to learn another language.
You should say: 
What language did you learn.
What you did.
How did it help you learn the language.
And explain how you felt about it.





“I’ve always had a great interest, and fascination with  anything related to Japan, especially Japanese manga comics and movies….so, about 2 years ago I decided that I’d try to learn the language, and also made a plan to visit Japan someday. 

Although I’d picked up some Japanese words, and phrases from watching movies and cartoons over the years, I still needed to start learning the language from scratch, and was at sixes and sevens on where to start.  One of my friends who actually studied Japanese in college, recommended a youtube channel to me, which is hosted by a native Japanese teacher, and I decided to give it a shot. 

 The video lessons were wonderful, and I found that I was able to start picking up the language very quickly, from the very first lesson, with the added bonus that it was all free!  The teacher was wonderful, and really helped make learning the language a lot of fun, as well as getting me off to a flying start, and after just a few weeks,  my Japanese started to improve by leaps and bounds.

The time flew by, and after just 6 months, I was actually able to have a basic conversation in Japanese which I felt extremely happy and proud of, and actually got to visit Japan about six months ago, which was absolutely amazing, especially as I was now able to communicate with the locals….all thanks to this amazing youtube channel. 


Thank you …”

Convergent Thinkers vs. Divergent Thinkers: Is One Better Than the Other?

verybody is capable of both convergent and divergent thinking, depending on the situation. However, it’s natural to lean more toward one or the other when approaching problems and projects.

“Some people have a natural preference for divergent thinking. They are the people in organizations who love to come up with new ideas,” says Manning, “They are also the people who are most useful when solving daunting, complex challenges because they are more likely to articulate ideas that are new and useful.”

The real issue lies in becoming too reliant on one method of thinking. “Too much divergent thinking can lead to endless ideation and no solutions. Too much convergent thinking can lead to no new ideas and ‘analysis paralysis,’”

Project Management and the Lure of Convergent Thinking
That’s a trap that project management professionals—who are notoriously married to their plans and processes—can fall into easily.

Let’s break this all down with some examples. Divergent thinking starts with an objective—perhaps you need to generate 1,000 new leads within a month. You start by brainstorming creative ideas and solutions to satisfy that goal: happy hours with famous speakers, direct mailers including $100 gift cards, a man in a gorilla suit on the corner of Times Square.

From there, you move into evaluating those options and settling on the one(s) that works best. This is an example of convergent thinking.

Let's continue later today on this topic and explore it further. See you soon.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
上周我们学了数字一到五的一些有趣的词，今天我们继续来学习吧。
第一个是数字“六”，“六六大顺”是一句祝福语，多用于祝福中年人士家庭幸福，工作顺利，事业有成，身体健康。有一个流行语“666”，是很厉害的意思，可以用来夸人。你看到很厉害的人或事的时候，可以说“666”。这其实是口头语“溜”的谐音数字，一个人的中文说得很好，我们可以说“他的中文说得很溜。”
七上八下：指的是“心中慌乱、不安”。例如：当我第一次去见我的老师时，我心里紧张得七上八下。 
八字没一撇：一个“八”字连一撇都没有写。比喻事情离成功还差得很远。例如： 他们刚认识，结婚的事八字没一撇呢。
九牛一毛：“许多头牛身上的一根毛。形容极大数量中的微不足道的数量。”。例如： 这点损失对他来说, 只不过是九牛一毛。  
十拿九稳：指的是“做事很有把握”。例如： 如果不是十拿九稳的事，他不会轻易答应你的。
大家快把这些词用起来吧，这样你的中文就更溜了。我们下期见。
