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.
(2) 찾습니다. 

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.

How do prepare well for the writing test of TOPIK II?

My warmest welcome to you. You are listening to episode 3 of the 111 Tips for Learning a Language. From Episode 1, we identified our most comfortable way of learning. From Episode 2, we zoomed in on mastering one aspect of the language. In this episode, I am going to ask you to determine:-
(1)	When you would like to learn; and 
(2)	Where you would like to learn; and lastly
(3)	How much time you would like to spend learning. 

Once you have clear answers about the when, where and how much time you have, you should be able to set a regular routine for learning. As we know, a routine is repetitive, therefore we would gradually become accustomed to sticking to it. It is just like brushing our teeth every morning. The goal is to make our learning schedule a habit. Once it becomes a habit, you would not think twice about straying away from it.  

It is advisable though to set a short, easy routine initially. This is so that you would not find it too difficult to keep up with. When you first start following your schedule the first few times, you are actually training yourself to become more disciplined. With discipline comes habit.  
Research has shown that humans are creatures of habit. Once your schedule is set, you are ready to go! When learning is a habit, you are consistently making progress in learning the language of your choice. Our podcast has now come to an end. I wish you Inspired Learning and till our next episode.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

日本は今、台風が来ています。
毎年この時期には台風がよく来ます。

今は台風7号が来ています。

8/15の10:00ぐらいに和歌山を通っています。
こういう時、日本に住んでいる人は、少し怖いですね。
いろんな情報があるけど、言葉がわかりにくいかもしれないですね。

ということで、台風の時のニュースのだいたいの内容を読みながら説明しますね。

日本に住んでいる方や、これから日本に住む方、旅行で日本に来る予定のある方も知っておいた方が良いと思います。


では、やりましょう！


"台風7号は15日午前9時現在、和歌山市付近にあって、時速15キロで北西へ進んでいます。 "
ー台風の現在地を説明します。
時速15キロは本当にゆっくりですね。その分、同じ場所に雨が長い時間降ったりします。

"中心気圧は980ヘクトパスカル、最大風速は30メートル、最大瞬間風速は40メートルとなっています。"
ー台風の強さを説明します。


"この台風は、15日午前5時前に和歌山県潮岬付近に上陸しました。台風は、15日は近畿を北上する見込みです。その後、16日から17日頃にかけて日本海を北上し、北海道に近づくおそれがあります。"
ー台風がどのように進むかを説明します。こういう時に、
〜付近
上陸するー海から陸を通る
北上するー北に上がる
見込みーそうなるという確信があること
おそれがあるーわるいことが起こる推測がある
など、よく使いますね。

"土砂災害、低い土地の浸水、河川の増水や氾濫、暴風に厳重に警戒し、高波に警戒してください。"
ー起こりそうな災害、さいがい、について説明しています。
けっこういろんな言葉が出てきますね。

土砂災害どしゃさいがい
ー山やがけがくずれたり、土砂が雨水や川の水と混ざって流れたりすること

浸水しんすい
ー水が家や建物に入ってくること

増水ぞうすい
ー川の水がいつもより増えること

氾濫はんらん
ー川の水がいっぱいになってあふれ出ること

暴風ぼうふう
ーとても強い風で、被害がともなう風

厳重げんじゅう
ーいいかげんにせず、強い気持ちで取り組むこと

警戒けいかい
ー危険にそなえて、十分に注意すること

高波たかなみ
ー文字通り高い波、ですが、人が海岸に近づくと危ないレベルの高い波、ということです。


と、こんな感じです。

日常会話では使いませんが、台風の時の情報を知る大切な言葉です。


特に日本に住む方は一緒に声に出して覚えてくださいね！


ということで今回は以上です。

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
