TOPIC
The next TOPIK test is this Sunday, September 12, 2010. I am signed up, I just wanted to make a note of itself for me.
오늘은 한국어능력시험 16회를 보는 날이었요. 시험이 9시에 시작하는 걸보니까 7시에 일아나려고 했다. 그런데 피곤한 나머지 일어나기가 힘들어서 alarm를 무시하고 겨우 저절로 7:30에 일어났어요. 큰 일 날 뻔했어. 너무 늦게 일어났으면 제가 2달동안 준비한 시험은 어쩐지?
시험날이 그렇게 나른하게 시작하더니 당황했어.
오피스텔 앞에 오는 버스도 눈이 빠지도록 기다려야 했어요. 아주 오래 기다리다가 버스가 왔어. 집에서 왕십리까지 (20분)버스를 타고 거기서 1호선 - 중앙연장선으로 갈아타고 청량리를 통해서 희기역에 제시간에 도착했다.
from the book 한국어 어휘 연습 for the synonyms/opposite section. With help from 김창무 선생님.
I outline my TOPIC study since July 10 ~ August 15 in this post. I only have 1 month to go until the test date now, but I will be busy with a second job teaching from Sept. 1st so there will be less time to study, so I feel as if time is running out on me.
- First, I finished a review book Complete guide to the TOPIC from which I studied a lot of verb endings and vocabulary. However, it was hard to study it as there weren't any explanations.
- So, I started 가나다 Korean For Foreigners Advanced 2 which I did chapters 1 - 23 of, leaving 24 - 27 till later. That was great work and my tutors helped me finish that by explaining hard stuff which would've killed my interest in the book, as the hard stuff was surpassing perhaps 30% in a few difficult chapters.
small sentence writing samples: 꼴/에 , 어쩔 뻔하다 , 노라니까, 어찌 . I am busy memorizing 고사성어 for a week or two now.
just try to put up with it~~~
this f'n language from Hell~~~
today's sentence writing: ~기만 해봐라, 어쩐지 (lots of 어쩐지), ㄴ답시고, 더라니, ~기에 망정이지, 어찌나, 진작, ~기 십상이다, 던 걸
today: a writing paragraph about the first sale of the day; 에, ㄴ 나머지, 게끔, 노라니까, (으)ㄹ락 말락, ~(으)려고 들다, 건대, ㄴ차에, ㄴ다고 해도, ~(으)ㄹ라, 느들
example sentences for: 랍니다, 련만, 는다고, 이자, ㄴ/는 법이 없다, -(으)ㄴ 바에야, ~다 못해
These were checked by 선숙.
for the patterns: 깨나, ~(으)ㄴ/는/(으)ㄹ 듯이 , ~(이)나마 , ~이/가 고작이다 , 이야말로 , 기로서니
These are structures from 가나다 고급 2 book that I have tried to write sentences using, as checked by one of my korean tutors (all of which I love).
