TOPIK II Reading Q9–12: choose the statement that matches a notice/poster, a chart (bar, line, pie, table) or a short news article. It tests careful reading of details: dates and times, eligibility, prices, figures and rising/falling trends.

Test tips

  1. Read the four options FIRST, underline each one's key word (date, price, eligibility, age group), then go back to the text to check – faster than reading everything first.
  2. Notices/posters: check 일시, 장소, 대상, 참가비/관람료, 신청 and the final ※ line – the ※ line very often holds the answer or a trap (rain plan, no late entry, bring your own…).
  3. Charts: read the title, unit (%, 명, 시간, 원) and the legend (years/groups); for 'rose the most', 'doubled', 'more than half' do quick arithmetic on scrap paper rather than eyeballing.
  4. Watch degree and scope words in options: 가장, 모두, 계속, 처음으로, 절반, 두 배, -만 – a single exception makes the statement false.
  5. Short articles: the first sentence gives the topic, the last often gives a plan or a problem; separate what HAS happened from what is only a '계획 / 예정'.
  6. The correct option usually paraphrases the text rather than copying it; budget about 1 minute per item, up to 1–1.5 minutes for a chart.

Explanation

Step 1: skim the four options to know what to look for – paper, eligibility, rain, application. Step 2: check each one. The notice says '도화지는 현장에서 나누어 드립니다' (paper is handed out on site), so option 1 is correct. Only '초등학생' may enter, so middle-school pupils cannot (2). If it rains the contest moves to the '문화센터', it is not postponed (3). Applications are '전화 접수' (by phone), not online (4).
