English: I get up at seven in the morning. After washing my face and eating breakfast, I take the bus to school. Classes end at three in the afternoon. In the evening I do my homework and go to bed early.

저는 아침 일곱 시에 일어납니다. 세수하고 아침을 먹은 뒤 버스를 타고 학교에 갑니다. 수업은 오후 세 시에 끝납니다. 저녁에는 숙제를 하고 일찍 잡니다. हिंदी: मैं सुबह सात बजे उठता हूँ। मुँह धोकर नाश्ता करने के बाद बस से विद्यालय जाता हूँ। कक्षा दोपहर तीन बजे समाप्त होती है। शाम को मैं गृहकार्य करता हूँ और जल्दी सो जाता हूँ।

Where you meet this text

A learner meets this in a diary, a speaking-test answer about daily life, or a short message explaining why someone is busy.

यह पाठ डायरी, दैनिक जीवन पर बोलने की परीक्षा के उत्तर या किसी के व्यस्त होने का कारण बताने वाले छोटे संदेश में मिलता है।

Reading traps

Do not read 아침 as a meal only; it means morning, while 아침을 먹다 is to eat breakfast. -은 뒤 means after doing something, not before. Time words like 일곱 시에 take 에, not 에서.

‘아침’ को केवल भोजन न समझें; इसका अर्थ सुबह है, जबकि ‘아침을 먹다’ नाश्ता करना है। ‘-은 뒤’ का अर्थ काम के बाद है, पहले नहीं। ‘일곱 시에’ जैसे समय शब्दों के साथ ‘에’ आता है, ‘에서’ नहीं।

Words and patterns to notice

Notice 일어나다, 세수하다, 타고, 끝나다, 잡니다. The pattern "verb + 은 뒤" and the particle 에 in time expressions are the two grammar points to take away.

‘일어나다’, ‘세수하다’, ‘타고’, ‘끝나다’, ‘잡니다’ पर ध्यान दें। ‘क्रिया + 은 뒤’ ढाँचा और समय के साथ ‘에’ कण, ये दो व्याकरण बिंदु याद रखें।

How TOPIK tests it

At TOPIK I the question asks what happens at a certain time or in what order. The wrong options usually swap morning and evening or replace the transport.

टॉपिक प्रथम में प्रश्न पूछता है कि किस समय क्या होता है या क्रम क्या है। गलत विकल्प प्रायः सुबह-शाम बदल देते हैं या यात्रा का साधन बदल देते हैं।
