Makedonkast - a podcast in slow Macedonian with vocabulary notes 

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. 👋
