Open lesson →Listening
Choose the correct reply
A reply must answer the particular question, not merely repeat a familiar word. The book separates yes/no questions, question-word questions and everyday conversational pairs. First decide which of these three jobs the reply needs to do. Then check whether its information and positive or negative meaning fit the first speaker.
Open lesson →ListeningIdentify the place
Place questions describe an interaction rather than simply name a destination. A passenger may mention a university while speaking inside a taxi; the university is where they want to go, not where the conversation is happening. Combine the service being offered, the speakers’ roles and the objects they mention.
Open lesson →ListeningIdentify the conversation topic
A topic is the category that covers the whole exchange. It can be broader than the activity mentioned in one sentence. The book contrasts sports such as football and swimming with wider interests such as exercise, music and films. Compare both speakers’ contributions before choosing how broad the topic should be.
Open lesson →ListeningMatch the situation to a picture
For picture questions, small differences matter: the object, its position, the people involved and the action happening now. A café picture might show ordering, making a drink, drinking or paying. Recognizing the café is only the first step; you must identify which stage of the interaction the speakers describe.
Open lesson →ListeningInfer and match details
A detail-matching conversation often contains several true-sounding facts but only one option preserves who did what, when and under which conditions. The book’s business-trip example separates the woman’s evening departure from her morning visit to work. Keep a small mental table for the two speakers instead of treating their statements as interchangeable.
Open lesson →ListeningIdentify the main thought
A speaker’s main thought is a judgment, wish, recommendation or obligation. It is not necessarily the first fact in the conversation, and it is not your own opinion. Listen to the person named in the question, then decide which option captures that person’s conclusion rather than a supporting example or the other speaker’s plan.
Open lesson →ListeningInfer the speaker’s purpose
An announcement has a communicative purpose and a set of details. The purpose might be to inform listeners of a changed schedule or explain how to apply. The date, place and fee are supporting information. The book stresses learning the verbs in answer options, because understanding the announcement is not enough if the purpose labels are unfamiliar.
Open lesson →ListeningInfer the purpose of an action
A reason-for-action question asks what caused an earlier choice. A long conversation can also mention what someone enjoys now and what they plan next. Those later facts are tempting distractors. Build a short timeline and attach the reason to the specific action named in the question.
Open lesson →Reading
Choose the main subject
Short topic passages often list specific examples, while the answer options name broader categories. Think of the relationship between apples and fruit: the paragraph does not have to use the word 과일 for it to be about fruit. Find the category shared by all the examples and reject categories supported by only one incidental word.
Open lesson →ReadingChoose a word for the blank
A short blank can test vocabulary or grammar. Before comparing words, identify the blank’s job: is it a noun naming an object, a predicate describing an action, a time adverb or a particle linking a noun to the rest of the sentence? Read the second sentence too, because it often provides the clue missing from the first.
Open lesson →ReadingVerify content details
A notice, timetable or short message contains checkable details. First determine whether the instruction asks for the matching statement or the non-matching one. The book uses practical texts such as meeting notices and tickets to show how a small change in morning/evening, price or date can reverse an answer.
Open lesson →ReadingIdentify the writer’s main idea
The writer’s main idea is the conclusion that the examples or reasons support. A statement can be true without being the main idea. Look for recommendations, desires and plans, then ask which option could serve as a one-sentence summary of why the paragraph was written.
Open lesson →ReadingComplete a passage in context
A passage blank connects events or ideas on both sides. It may test a verb phrase, an ending or a conjunction. Decide the relationship first: result, contrast, sequence, condition or an additional example. Then compare the choices for tense, possibility and meaning.
Open lesson →ReadingPut sentences in order
Sentence ordering tests the links that make a paragraph coherent. A general introductory sentence can start a paragraph, while 그 컵, 이런 생활 or 그래서 usually depends on something already introduced. Use the answer options to narrow down the possible first sentence, then test the relationships between adjacent sentences.
Open lesson →ReadingPlace a sentence in a passage
A sentence must fit both its preceding and following context. Finding one matching noun is not sufficient. The book’s piano example connects an earlier inability with a later ability through 그렇지만. Look for a missing link in the passage’s logic, then test the candidate sentence at that point.
Open lesson →ReadingIdentify the purpose of practical writing
Practical writing asks readers to learn or do something: apply, attend, confirm, exchange or request a refund. The subject of an announcement is not necessarily its purpose. A notice mentioning cleaning may announce its time or recruit volunteers; identify what the writer expects the reader to do.
