However, according to Korean language instructors who have been helping with TOPIK preparations for years, each problem has key points that help answer the respective question. If you familiarize yourself with them, you will start to enjoy the “Writing” part of TOPIK.
While most other TOPIK textbooks focus on the form of the questions and model answers, this book shows how to identify the purpose of each question and explains them in a way that helps students leave the fear of “Writing” behind. Moreover, the scoring system for every question is analyzed so you can better plan your strategy to solve them.
By studying this book, you will understand how to approach each “Writing” question, learn the appropriate strategy for solving them, and be able to go through the whole writing process with confidence, resulting in a satisfactory exam score.
