Highlights
The lesson introduces a reading comprehension section, starting with a blank-filling exercise related to daily life activities like saving money and sending it home. It also emphasizes the importance of reading the culture pages of the EPS TOPIK book, as cultural topics often appear in the reading and listening sections of the test. The specific cultural point discussed is 'floor sitting culture' in Korea.
Teacher Kami introduces the re-recorded lesson for Chapter 8, but clarifies that it's a review of Chapter 7 of the EPS TOPIK Book 1. She reminds viewers of previous lessons on irregular conjugation and native/Sino-Korean numbers, encouraging them to subscribe and support the channel. The lesson will divide chapter 7 into two parts to avoid overwhelming learners.
The instructor begins a review of Chapter 7, page 86, which involves a listening activity (Track 27) from the EPS Topic book. Learners are instructed to listen to the audio for numbers 1 to 3 and choose the correct option from the choices provided. The audio plays, and the instructor pauses for answers, then reviews the correct options for 'here', 'market', and 'umbrella'.
The video moves on to listening exercises for questions 4 and 5 from Track 28 on page 86. After the audio, the instructor explains the format for EPS TOPIK listening sections, which often involve identifying the correct image or option. The video then transitions to useful expressions from pages 87-88, highlighting phrases like 'Say hi to him/her for me'.
The lesson continues with a vocabulary review from Chapter 7, involving matching pictures to the correct Korean words. Examples include identifying 'home/house', 'market/supermarket', 'salon', and objects like 'umbrella', 'blanket', and 'keys'. The instructor encourages learners to actively participate in choosing the correct answers.
The video focuses on fill-in-the-blank questions (numbers 4-5 from page 88-89) using appropriate question words. The instructor breaks down options like 'when', 'who', 'what type/kind', and 'where', explaining their usage based on context. This segment emphasizes understanding different question words and their applicability to specific situations, such as asking about location or nationality.
The instructor explains Korean abbreviations, especially in the context of formal and polite speech endings. She provides examples of how verb endings change from formal to polite, demonstrating the structure with and without consonant or vowel endings. This section includes examples like 'what is that?' in both formal and polite forms.
The video concludes with a review of how to ask 'What is this?' in Korean and provides answers for various objects like tissue paper and a towel. It then delves into the use of subject particles, specifically '이/가' (i/ga), to highlight the subject or topic of a sentence or question. The lesson provides examples asking 'Where is this place?' and answering with 'convenience store' or 'dormitory', explaining the particle usage based on the preceding noun's ending (vowel or consonant).
