Save your actual school result to count your credits.
In this standard, students read and make sense of longer Korean texts — things like articles, conversations, and visual materials. The goal is to show you truly understand what the texts mean, not just translate words. You need to explain what's going on, support your answer with details from the text, and (for top grades) pick up on ideas that aren't directly stated.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Read extended Korean written or visual texts (for example, conversations, articles, or promotional material).
- ·Answer questions in English (or Korean) showing you understand what the texts mean.
- ·Support your answers with relevant details from the texts.
- ·For higher grades, connect ideas from across the whole text and explain meanings that are implied rather than directly stated.
You understand the general gist of the texts. You can pick out some basic facts but your answers may lack detail, be a bit unclear, or contain some contradictions where you've misunderstood parts.
You clearly understand the texts. Your answers are supported by relevant details from the text and are unambiguous. However, your responses may not go deep enough — you might translate accurately but not fully connect or integrate the ideas.
