Model answer

Easy to Learn Korean Intermediate 1 Reading is a series of books published together with conversation and writing, and was developed for the purpose of separate education for adult learners, especially university students.
Reading comprehension doesn't just mean the ability to read Korean.
It also includes the ability to read texts and understand the meaning of the text as a whole or in parts, as well as to reinterpret such texts.
Therefore, each unit of this book is structured to go one step further than beginner Korean reading at the level of pronunciation or speech, and to foster not only an understanding of the entire text but also the ability to grasp the meaning of parts centered on the content of the text, and further, the ability to reinterpret and recreate the text.
This textbook is expected to be of great help to many international students and the general public in improving their Korean reading skills.


This textbook is focused on intermediate-level learners who have completed beginner level Korean language study.
Therefore, it can be said to be a Korean language textbook that aims to improve reading skills developed at the beginner level while also advancing to advanced reading skills.
Therefore, the activities were designed to help students read Korean texts, understand the structure and content of the text, learn vocabulary and expressions, and further improve other language skills.
The content of the article is composed of 15 topics selected based on the content that learners who aim to study mathematics at Korean universities or encounter in their daily lives encounter or need to know, and reading activities are organized around these topics.


Unit composition
[Introduction] - The 'Introduction' at the beginning of each unit is a prerequisite for reading the main text of the unit. It allows you to read comfortably and freely discuss any questions that come to mind.
In other words, it is for the learner to form a schema to help them understand the full content of the unit.

[Reading 1] - Corresponds to the reading stage of the unit.
This is the stage where you read the text and understand its content using the vocabulary and grammar knowledge you know.
[Reading 2] - This is another reading following Reading 1.
The goal is to develop diverse activities by reading texts in depth and understanding their content, while also incorporating activities in other language areas.

[Improving Skills] - This is to check and improve the reading comprehension skills developed in Reading 1 and Reading 2 to a better level, and also to prepare for the Korean Language Proficiency Test.
The questions presented here are based on the Korean Language Proficiency Test conducted by the Busan University of Foreign Studies Korean Language and Culture Education Center with support from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.

[Vocabulary] - A list of important words that appear in each unit.
Since the units are organized around topics, the vocabulary presented is generally related to the topic presented in the title.
After completing a unit, learners can review what they have learned through vocabulary.

[Think About It] - To broaden learners' thinking, it contains proverbs, sayings, and famous quotes from around the world, including Korea, related to each unit.

[Break] - This is to provide a variety of reading material by including interesting stories or related information related to the topic or material of each unit, while also introducing general Korean knowledge.
This 'break' can be said to be for review as well as self-study.
