Hello, this is Megastudy civil servant Korean teacher, Lee Yoojin. For those who took the local high-level exam in 2024, thank you for your hard work. I will give a brief overall review, and later tonight, I will be live with five teachers to talk about the local high-level exam, so please tune in. First, let me briefly share my thoughts. I wrote a one-liner review saying that this exam was about wrapping up the Korean language content we have studied so far. It was a conservative test with no particular surprises in the questions. Unlike the recent national exam, which had P-type blank deduction questions and future-oriented issues for 2025, this time, they seemed to stick to the traditional format, keeping their promise. They conducted the exam in a very conservative manner. So, this year's local high-level Korean language exam was similar to the previous national exam.

It was easier than expected, and last year's difficulty level was similar to that of national and local civil service exams. Therefore, we can say that the difficulty level of this year's test paper was in line with last year's. So, if you are preparing for next year, it would be good to prepare thoroughly for reading comprehension. When we talk about each section, for reading comprehension, even if you trained well for the existing types, you could score safely. They provided two topic types: fill-in-the-blank inference and overall, it was about reading the entire passage and finding the theme, so two theme questions were given. Next, in terms of development method, combining rhetoric and speaking styles, two questions were set. Additionally, general inferences were relatively straightforward. Although they presented it as a bit difficult, it actually required inference.

The passage was not difficult because it almost directly used sentences from the questions. Then, it showed the introduction, main body, and conclusion, and even aligned the beginning of the options, so it was a type that had already progressed a significant part of the process for you to arrange it like this. Therefore, I think that more time was saved on arranging the questions than usual. Next, in literature, there was a classical poetry section. I suggested looking at classical poetry, so I summarized 100 poems that come out of the textbook, and four came out of the textbook, and in the case of modern literature, although unfamiliar passages appeared, it was a format issue, and since the concept words of the options were commonly used, I think you could easily find them. Then, there was a question that required understanding the content of both classical and modern literature. One was about the theme, and the other was about the protagonist's emotions.

Two questions came out in the find the error section, one regarding grammar and the other regarding regulations. It's been a long time since there was a change in the theory of grammar. So, many people these days say that there won't be any changes in the theory. I think you need to know how to calculate changes. So, a change in punctuation came out. Next, a mix of Korean spelling and standardization regulations came out. Some of you may find terms like 옥죄다 unfamiliar, but terms like 쇠다 and 짜깁기 and distinguishing between 들려 and 들러 were common, so even if one of the choices seems unfamiliar, I expect you to easily overcome it. Next, vocabulary and Chinese character problems. Nowadays, there are more vocabulary and Chinese character problems than grammar regulations. This time, there were three vocabulary and Chinese character problems. However, now vocabulary focuses on contextual meaning issues.

The question that appeared in the example also appeared, and then there was a problem with the meaning of Chinese characters, so how do you solve and write this? This type, which was also in the example evaluation, appeared the same way, and there was one notation that you all were afraid of, but it was a basic notation that could be found in the textbook, so this time, even the Chinese characters were easy. Therefore, it can be said that there were no difficult questions even in the memorization part. So, in 2025, I will tell you the issues that you should pay attention to. For those of you who will take the exam next year. So, in terms of types, the contextual meaning question of the dye that came out as a set type in the example evaluation of number 2, and the Chinese meaning type question that came out as a set type in the example evaluation of number 6. But now, I'm giving you everything, so there were no Chinese notation issues in the example questions. Next, the practical writing type question that was asked in the practical writing evaluation of number 11. These three questions are now types for 2020.

It can be considered to be related to 15 years, and the rest is about finding topics, general inference, content matching, and arrangement. Originally, all of these are just the basics that are normally brought as they are. So, in 2025, in the next passage, what should be paid attention to in the text is number 7, linguistics. I probably used the expression linguistics as I drew all the deductions into the reading algorithm, unlike other teachers who might have used the name grammar as it is or maybe used the term Korean linguistics. However, due to these kinds of issues, I used the expression linguistics. Therefore, now, as grammar and also these relations between language and thinking come into non-literary texts, that's why, when I brought up grammar in the context of non-literary texts, it became linguistics. Because it involved comparative linguistics and it was a bit different from just Korean grammar, so it needs to be viewed more broadly.

If you have it, yes, that's why I used the term linguistics. Number 7 is that kind of question. Next, number 14, non-literary texts using scientific and technological terminology will be more activated in the future. This time, even though copyright issues didn't come out in a legal style, legal texts can also be considered non-literary texts. Next, number 20, understanding the issues and positions of multi-party dialogues, debates, and toys, these are the types of texts that you should pay attention to in 2025. When you read, who is it? It's me. So, now, you should quickly forget about today's test. Those who are reading the summary are interested in preparing for next year's test, and they are thinking about looking at the summary now. Therefore, on Monday, I will have this test paper, and you all will.

I have created a separate diagnostic evaluation, but if I look at myself through this test paper in 2020, what about 2025? Am I in line with the 2025 style, or am I more disadvantaged? I will provide sharp answers to such issues on Monday. I diagnose you through a local language test paper called the Korean MRI, and provide explanations and lessons tailored to the 2025 style. However, instead of just explaining local problems from question 1 to 20, I can also provide explanations. I think about people who show such characteristics in this test paper, even if they answered correctly or incorrectly, in terms of handling passages in this pattern. You should make corrections like this, and if you plan to do it in 2025, you can reduce the amount of learning in Korean, or you should prepare more for this case, or solutions like this.

I will give you some precise information, so please do not throw away the Korean MRI test paper that will be conducted on Monday morning, keep it and make sure to listen to it. Today, take a rest and tomorrow, on Saturday and Sunday, relax a bit. So, I also posted on Instagram that on rainy days, isn't it perfect to have makgeolli and green onion pancakes? That has nothing to do with the test or its results. You all have the qualification to enjoy makgeolli and green onion pancakes today. Moreover, the fact that you are listening to the overall assessment at this moment means that you can continue to challenge yourself and achieve good results. Whether it is this test or not, until the day you achieve your goal, I will be with you.

Review of the 2024 Local High-Level Korean Language Exam

The exam was conservative and in line with traditional format, similar to the previous national exam, making it easier than expected.

The reading comprehension section focused on fill-in-the-blank inference and finding the theme, with relatively straightforward general inferences.

The development method included questions on combining rhetoric and speaking styles.

The Impact of Changing Trends in Literature

The passage provided a structured overview of classical and modern literature questions.

It highlighted the common use of concept words in the options, making it easier to navigate.

The questions covered themes, protagonist's emotions, grammar, regulations, punctuation, Korean spelling, standardization, vocabulary, and Chinese characters, with a focus on contextual meaning issues.

I'm sorry, but it seems like there might be a misunderstanding.

It looks like the text you've provided is not related to the task of summarizing a given input.

If you have a specific text that you'd like to be summarized, please provide that, and I'd be happy to help you with the summary.

Linguistic texts in 2025 will prioritize non-literary texts with scientific and technological terminology.

Multi-party dialogues, debates, and diverse perspectives will also be crucial in linguistic materials.

Preparing for the evolving linguistic landscape and the 2025 style of language usage will be essential for upcoming tests and evaluations.

Take a rest today and relax over the weekend before the MRI test on Monday.

Enjoy makgeolli and green onion pancakes, and remember that you have the qualification to relax.

Your hard work and determination will lead you to your goals, whether it's this test or any other challenge.
