주제별 어휘
Theme-specific vocabulary grouped by area of study, such as 환경 (오염, 재활용) or 기술 (인공 지능), which lets a response use precise rather than general wording.
존댓말과 반말
Korean speech levels: 존댓말 (합니다/해요) marks politeness toward the reader or listener, while 반말 is used with close friends or children and is inappropriate in formal writing.
높임 표현
Honorific forms that replace ordinary verbs and nouns when the subject is respected, for example 드시다 for 먹다, 계시다 for 있다, 연세 for 나이, and 댁 for 집.
가족과 관계 주제
A Unit 1-2 area of study covering family structure, generational roles, and changing relationships, often assessed through personal writing plus comparison with the student's own culture.
학교 생활 주제
An early-unit topic about subjects, school rules, friendships, and career hopes; answers usually combine description of routine with evaluation of what should change.
여가와 취미 주제
A topic on free time, hobbies, and sports; strong responses name the activity, explain why it appeals, and describe its effect on daily life or health.
한국 사회와 문화
A Unit 3-4 area covering customs, food, festivals, age-based hierarchy, and modern social change; questions typically ask for description followed by comparison or evaluation.
과학 기술 주제
A later-unit topic on inventions, digital communication, and artificial intelligence; answers need a stated advantage, a stated concern, and a reasoned position.
환경 문제 주제
A later-unit topic on pollution, climate change, and recycling; effective responses connect a personal action to a wider consequence using cause-and-effect connectors.
진로와 직업 주제
A Unit 3-4 topic on future study, work, and career choice; responses should state a goal, give two supporting reasons, and acknowledge one difficulty.
비교 문화 답변
A response pattern that first describes the Korean practice accurately, then explains one similarity and one difference from the student's own cultural context.
입장과 근거
The core of an evaluative answer: one clear position statement followed by two concrete reasons or examples, rather than a list of unrelated observations.
주제별 어휘 정확성
Choosing the precise term for the topic, such as 개인 정보 for privacy in a technology answer, instead of a vague general word that weakens the argument.
단원별 텍스트 연결
Each area of study pairs a theme with a text type and function, so the same topic may require a diary entry in one task and a formal proposal in another.
세대 차이
A recurring Korean-society theme describing differences in values or habits between older and younger generations, usually assessed through explanation plus a balanced opinion.
일기 쓰기
A personal text type written in the first person with feelings and daily events, using 해요 or 한다 style and past tense; it permits emotional language that reports do not.
편지 형식
A letter opens with a greeting such as 안녕하십니까?, states its purpose, develops one or two points, and closes with 감사합니다 and the writer's name.
이메일 형식
A digital message with a clear 제목, a brief greeting, a purpose statement in the first line, short paragraphs, and a closing with name and contact details.
논설문 구조
A persuasive essay built as 서론 (문제 제기), 본론 (근거와 예시), and 결론 (주장 재강조), with one idea per paragraph and formal 합니다 style.
건의문 쓰기
A proposal text that names a problem, suggests a specific action, and gives expected benefits; the tone is polite and formal because the reader holds authority.
보고서 쓰기
An informative report with headings, factual statements, and no personal emotion; it uses 합니다 style and organizes content by category rather than by time.
기사문 특징
A news text whose opening paragraph answers who, what, when, where, and why, followed by detail in decreasing importance, written objectively without the writer's opinion.
안내문 쓰기
A notice giving information such as date, place, and instructions; it uses short sentences, clear headings, and polite formal endings so readers can act quickly.
수필 쓰기
A reflective personal essay that develops one theme from a small experience, using descriptive language and past tense, and ends with a lesson or insight.
연결 표현 기능
Connectors carry fixed logic: 그러나 contrasts, 따라서 concludes, 예를 들어 illustrates, 반면에 compares, and 결국 summarizes; choosing by function keeps the argument coherent.
문단 구성
A Korean paragraph opens with a topic sentence, supports it with evidence or example, and closes with a linking or concluding sentence before the next paragraph begins.
높임 수준 조정
Matching speech level to the stated reader: formal 합니다 style for institutions and reports, 해요 style for familiar adults, and 반말 only for close friends or children.
시제 일치
Keeping tense consistent across a text: past 았/었 for completed events in diaries and narratives, present for general facts, and future 겠/ㄹ 것이다 for plans.
글자 수 계산
Word limits in Korean are counted in syllables or characters rather than spaces, so length must be checked before submitting and adjusted by cutting examples, not grammar.
블로그 글 특징
A personal online text with a catchy title, first-person experience, and an inviting closing question; it uses 해요 style and may include opinion and emotion.
이야기 서사 구조
A narrative develops through 발단, 전개, 위기, 절정, and 결말, marked by time expressions such as 그때, 그 후, and 얼마 뒤 with consistent past tense.
텍스트 유형 평가
Format is marked separately from grammar and content, so a well-argued answer in the wrong text type still loses marks for structure and register.
