TOPIK II · Reading · Questions 5–8 · Level 3

What is the ad about?

무엇에 대한 글인지 고르기 (광고·안내)

TOPIK II Reading Q5–8: read a short ad, public campaign slogan or notice and choose what product, place or topic it is about. Usually Q5–6 are product/service ads, Q7 a public campaign and Q8 a guide or set of rules.

Test tips

  1. Underline 2–3 concrete key words (body parts, objects, actions, numbers) and ask: what has ALL of these features? The answer must match every clue, not just one.
  2. Wrong options usually come from the same field as the right one (fan ↔ air conditioner, raincoat ↔ umbrella, eye clinic ↔ optician); find the detail only the right one has (setting temperature, 'opening up', 'frames').
  3. In campaign slogans the last line is usually the call to action (-세요, -지 마세요): ask 'what do they want me to do?' – avoid fraud, save energy, give blood…
  4. For bullet-point notices (·), read all three lines and find what they share: usage rules (이용 수칙), how to apply (신청 방법), exchange/refund (교환 및 환불), closure (휴관 안내)…
  5. Beware word traps: a word that appears in the text (할인, 공사, 엘리베이터) can be a wrong option if it is not the main point.
  6. Spend only 30–45 seconds per item; the texts are short, so don't translate word by word.

Worked examples

창문을 닫아도 실내 온도 24도 그대로! 한여름 밤에도 시원하고 조용하게 푹 주무세요.
Translation

Windows closed, room temperature stays at 24°C! Sleep soundly, cool and quiet, even on midsummer nights.

다음은 무엇에 대한 글인지 고르십시오.

Explanation

Step 1: find the key words – '실내 온도 24도' (room temperature 24°C), '한여름 밤' (midsummer night), '시원하고 조용하게' (cool and quiet). Step 2: the appliance that keeps a room at a set temperature with the windows closed is an air conditioner, so option 4 is correct. The trap is '선풍기' (electric fan): it cools in summer but only moves air and cannot set the room temperature. '냉장고' keeps food cold and '세탁기' has nothing to do with sleep or temperature.
