최종 종합 과제: 나의 한국어 생활Final Integrated Assessment
Chapter Objectives
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:
- Introduce yourself and describe your identity, family, and daily routine in connected polite Korean.
- Talk about food, shopping, and everyday transactions using appropriate particles, counters, and prices.
- Give and understand directions, describe locations, and talk about plans and abilities.
- Describe past events, personal experience, arrangements, and future intentions.
- State an opinion, make a comparison, and connect ideas using -지만 and -고.
- Read and listen to connected beginner-level Korean texts on familiar topics without routine romanization.
- Produce a organized spoken and written portfolio that demonstrates accurate Hangeul, spacing, particles, predicate endings, and everyday polite speech level across the full range of Volume I.
Communication Scenario
It is the last day of the term. 라일라 and 수진's class is holding a small closing presentation where each student shares a short portfolio about their life in Korean: who they are, what they do, what they have experienced, and what they think about learning Korean so far. 선생님 asks each student to prepare a short spoken and written self-portrait using everything the class has learned this term.
- This chapter introduces no new productive grammar, particles, endings, or vocabulary systems.
- Every task below draws only on systems already activated in Chapters 1–19: identity, family, dates, food, routines, location, shopping, plans, directions, ability, requests, health, reasons, past events, experience, wishes, arrangements, opinions, and comparison.
- The chapter's purpose is synthesis and demonstration, not new instruction. Treat this chapter as evidence of what you can now do in Korean.
Cumulative Vocabulary Review
This chapter introduces no new productive vocabulary. The table below regroups a sample of high-frequency productive vocabulary from Chapters 1–19 by domain, as a self-check before the portfolio tasks. If any item feels unfamiliar, return to its source chapter before continuing.
| Domain | Sample vocabulary | Source chapters |
|---|---|---|
| Identity & classroom | 학생, 선생님, 이름, 이에요/예요, 아니에요 | 1–2 |
| Family & existence | 가족, 형제, 있어요, 없어요 | 3 |
| Dates & time | 몇 월, 며칠, 오늘, 내일 | 4 |
| Food & action verbs | 먹어요, 마셔요, 좋아해요 | 6 |
| Routines | 일어나요, 공부해요, 매일 | 7 |
| Places & location | 어디, 에, 에서, 있어요 | 8 |
| Shopping & quantities | 얼마예요, 개, 명, 주세요 | 9 |
| Plans & future | 주말, -(으)ㄹ 거예요, 같이 | 11 |
| Directions & movement | 어떻게, 로/으로, -(으)세요 | 12 |
| Ability & requests | -(으)ㄹ 수 있어요, 못, 아/어 주세요 | 13 |
| Health & reasons | 아파요, -아/어서, 해야 해요 | 14 |
| Past events | 어제, -았/었어요, 전에/후에 | 16 |
| Experience & wishes | -아/어 본 적이 있어요, -고 싶어요 | 17 |
| Arrangements | -기로 했어요, -(으)려고 해요 | 18 |
| Opinions & comparison | 제 생각에는, 보다 더, 제일/가장, -지만, -고 | 19 |
This table is a review aid, not a new productive vocabulary list. Assessment in this chapter draws on the full active vocabulary of Chapters 1–19.
Pronunciation Review
This chapter reviews rather than introduces pronunciation targets. Read the following aloud, checking batchim, liaison, and the ㅂ irregular pattern reviewed in Chapter 19.
When reading a longer connected paragraph, pay attention to liaison across word boundaries (a batchim linking into the next syllable's silent ㅇ), the smooth attachment of connective endings such as -지만 and -고 without a pause, and consistent sentence-final intonation for statements versus questions. These are the same targets introduced in Chapters 1–19; this chapter asks you to apply them together in longer stretches of speech.
안녕하세요 · 잘 지냈어요 · 한국어가 재미있어요 · 발음이 어렵지만 계속 공부하고 싶어요
Grammar and Sentence Pattern Review
This chapter introduces no new grammar, particles, endings, or sentence patterns. The table below reviews the major productive systems activated across Volume I, organized by function, as a reference for the portfolio tasks.
| Function | Pattern(s) | Source chapters |
|---|---|---|
| Identity / copula | 이에요/예요, 아니에요 | 1–2 |
| Existence / possession | 있어요/없어요, 이/가 | 3 |
| Everyday polite present | -아요/어요 | 6 |
| Location | 에, 에서 | 8 |
| Quantities | 개/명/병/잔, 주세요 | 9 |
| Future / intention | -(으)ㄹ 거예요 | 11 |
| Directions / instructions | 로/으로, -(으)세요 | 12 |
| Ability / inability | -(으)ㄹ 수 있어요, 못 | 13 |
| Reason / obligation / prohibition | -아/어서, 해야 해요, -지 마세요 | 14 |
| Past tense | -았/었어요 | 16 |
| Experience / desire | -아/어 본 적이 있어요, -고 싶어요 | 17 |
| Arrangement / intention | -기로 했어요, -(으)려고 해요 | 18 |
| Opinion / comparison / connection | 제 생각에는, 보다 더, 제일/가장, -지만, -고 | 19 |
A strong A2-oriented paragraph does not use every pattern from every chapter at once. Instead, it selects a handful of relevant systems and connects them naturally, the way the sample self-portrait in the Model Dialogue and Reading Practice sections below does. Aim for accuracy and natural connection over maximum density of grammar points.
Practice — Identifying systems in context
Read each sentence and identify which chapter's grammar system it demonstrates.
- 저는 지난주에 부산에 가 봤어요.
- 이번 주말에 친구를 만나기로 했어요.
- 한국어는 어렵지만 재미있어요.
- 저는 한국어를 배울 수 있어요.
Model Dialogue
Setting: The closing class presentation. 라일라 shares her portfolio self-introduction aloud before the class.
내용 이해 — Comprehension questions:
- What does 라일라 say about her daily routine?
- Where did 라일라 go last month, and what does she think about it?
- What does 라일라 say is the most difficult part of Korean, and what does she plan to do about it?
- Identify one sentence with a past tense ending and one sentence with -지만 in the dialogue.
Guided Practice
Complete each item using a system already active from Chapters 1–19. Each item draws on a different unit of the volume.
- Introduce yourself with your name and nationality: 저는 ______ 이에요/예요.
- Describe one daily routine action using -아요/어요.
- Say where something is located using 에 or 에서.
- Make a plan for this weekend using -(으)ㄹ 거예요.
- Describe a past event using -았/었어요.
- Share an opinion using 제 생각에는 and connect it with -지만 or -고.
Listening Practice
Ask your instructor, a language partner, or a text-to-speech tool to read the following passage aloud. Listen twice without reading, then complete the tasks below.
수진의 마지막 발표
안녕하세요. 저는 수진이에요. 저는 매일 아침에 커피를 마시고 학교에 가요. 지난주에는 친구를 만나기로 했어요. 우리는 같이 영화를 보고 저녁을 먹었어요. 저는 한국어 문법이 어렵지만 단어는 재미있어요. 다음 학기에는 더 어려운 한국어를 배우고 싶어요.
듣기 과제 — Listening task: Listen and answer in English.
| 질문 | 답 |
|---|---|
| What does 수진 do every morning? | ______ |
| What did 수진 and her friend do together last week? | ______ |
| What does 수진 want to do next semester? | ______ |
받아쓰기 — Dictation: Your partner or instructor reads two sentences from the passage above, once each at natural speed. Write what you hear in Hangeul, then check your spacing and pattern accuracy.
- (a sentence with a past-tense ending)
- (a sentence with -지만)
Reading Practice
Below is 라일라's final class blog post, written as a farewell reflection on her first term of Korean. Read it and answer the questions below.
이번 학기를 마치며
저는 이번 학기에 한국어를 처음 배웠어요. 처음에는 한글도 몰랐지만 지금은 한글을 읽고 쓸 수 있어요. 저는 가족이 있고 학교에서 한국어를 공부해요. 매일 아침에 일어나서 학교에 가고 저녁에는 숙제를 해요. 지난달에는 제주도에 가 봤어요. 정말 좋았어요. 제 생각에는 제주도가 제일 아름다운 곳이에요. 한국어는 어렵지만 저는 계속 공부하고 싶어요. 다음 학기에는 부산에도 가 보려고 해요.
This passage combines identity, routine, past experience, opinion, and future intention using only systems activated in Chapters 1–19. This volume's productive speech level remains everyday polite -아요/어요.
내용 이해 — Comprehension questions:
- What could 라일라 not do at the beginning of the term that she can do now?
- What did 라일라 do last month, and what does she think about it?
- What does 라일라 plan to do next semester?
- Identify one sentence using -지만 and one sentence using a future/intention pattern.
Writing Workshop
This chapter's writing task is your final portfolio paragraph, 나의 한국어 생활 ("My Life in Korean"), combining identity, routine, an experience, an opinion, and a future plan.
- Introduce yourself. Give your name and one identity detail using 이에요/예요.
- Describe a routine. Use -아요/어요 to describe one daily habit.
- Narrate a past experience. Use -았/었어요 or -아/어 본 적이 있어요.
- Share an opinion. Use 제 생각에는, with a comparison or superlative if natural.
- Connect two ideas. Use -지만 or -고 at least once.
- Close with a future plan. Use -(으)ㄹ 거예요, -고 싶어요, or -(으)려고 해요.
- Revise. Check your draft against the editing checklist below.
체크리스트 — Editing checklist:
- Every sentence uses only Hangeul and only systems activated through Chapter 19.
- The paragraph includes identity, routine, a past experience, an opinion, and a future plan.
- At least one sentence uses -지만 or -고 correctly.
- Speech level is consistent everyday polite throughout.
- Spacing between nouns, particles, and predicates follows the patterns modeled in Chapters 1–19.
Speaking Practice
통제 연습 — Controlled practice: 자기소개 연습
Practice saying your name, nationality, and one daily routine sentence aloud until it feels automatic, reviewing pronunciation targets from Chapters 1–19.
의사소통 과제 — Communicative task: 나의 한국어 생활 발표하기
With a partner or in a small group, take turns presenting your portfolio paragraph aloud, as in the Model Dialogue. After each presentation, the listener asks one follow-up question using a pattern from any earlier chapter.
혼자 하는 연습 — Solo alternative
Record yourself presenting your "My Life in Korean" portfolio in six to eight connected sentences, covering identity, routine, one past experience, one opinion, and one future plan.
Culture and Communication
At the end of a class term, it is common in many South Korean educational settings to thank the instructor and classmates, briefly reflect on what was learned, and express intention to continue studying. Simple closing language such as 감사합니다 and 계속 열심히 공부하겠습니다 (a slightly more formal form you will encounter productively in later volumes) reflects this pattern, though individual classrooms and instructors vary in how formal or informal a closing feels.
An A2-oriented portfolio does not require flawless, native-like Korean. It shows that a learner can combine familiar vocabulary and grammar to communicate connected, practical information about themselves, their routines, their experiences, and their opinions, with generally accurate Hangeul, spacing, and everyday polite speech level. Occasional hesitation or simple errors are a normal part of this stage.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Error: 저는 학생이에요. 어제 학교에 갔다.
Correction: 저는 학생이에요. 어제 학교에 갔어요. — this volume's productive speech level is everyday polite -아요/어요 throughout; do not switch to plain written forms mid-paragraph.
Error: a single sentence trying to combine identity, routine, past tense, opinion, and future plan all at once, producing an unnatural run-on sentence.
Correction: distribute these functions across several connected sentences, as modeled in the Reading Practice passage, using -지만 and -고 to join only two closely related ideas at a time.
Error: 저 제주도 가 봤어요.
Correction: 저는 제주도에 가 봤어요. — even in a fast presentation, keep the topic particle 는 and the destination particle 에; omission is more forgivable in casual spoken Korean than in a prepared portfolio task.

누적 복습 — Cumulative review
This chapter recycles identity, family, dates, food, routines, location, shopping, plans, directions, ability/requests, health, past events, experience/wishes, arrangements, and opinions/comparison from Chapters 1 through 19, and introduces no new productive systems. If any earlier item still feels uncertain, return to its source chapter before beginning Volume II.
