1. Focus on Grammar Pairings and Logical Connectors

Instead of translating every word, pay attention to the relationship between sentences and use common grammar pairings. Here are some frequently used structures in Question 52:

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย ย  ์™œ๋ƒํ•˜๋ฉด... AV๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ด๋‹ค/ N๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ด๋‹ค: Because... (reason)
Example:

Example:

(Peopleโ€™s favorite foods vary depending on their preferences.)


2. Master Causative and Passive Structures (๊ฒŒ ํ•˜๋‹ค; ๊ฒŒ ๋˜๋‹ค)

Causative and passive grammar structures often appear in this question type, especially when discussing cause-and-effect relationships.

Key Patterns:

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย ย  N1์€/๋Š” N2์„/๋ฅผ V๊ฒŒ ํ•˜๋‹ค/๋งŒ๋“ค๋‹ค: N1 makes N2 do something.
Example:

(Stress causes health to deteriorate.)


3. Use Indirect Quotations Correctly

When the subject involves experts (์ „๋ฌธ๊ฐ€๋“ค) or people (์‚ฌ๋žŒ๋“ค), the question often requires indirect quotations.

Key Patterns:

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย ย  Vใ„ด/๋Š” ๋‹ค๊ณ  ํ•˜๋‹ค/์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๋‹ค: It is said/thought that...
Example:
์ „๋ฌธ๊ฐ€๋“ค์€ ์‚ฌ๋žŒ๋“ค์ด ๋‹จ๋ง›์—๋„ ์ค‘๋…๋  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ํ•œ๋‹ค.
(Experts say that people can also become addicted to sweetness.)

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย ย  A๋‹ค๊ณ  ํ•˜๋‹ค/์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๋‹ค: It is said/thought that...
Example:
์ด ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•์€ ํšจ๊ณผ์ ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•œ๋‹ค.
(It is thought that this method is effective.)

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย ย  N(์ด)๋ผ๊ณ  ํ•˜๋‹ค/์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๋‹ค: It is said/thought that...
Example:
์ด ๋ฌธ์ œ๋Š” ์ค‘์š”ํ•˜๋‹ค๊ณ  ํ•œ๋‹ค.
(It is said that this issue is important.)


4. Pay Attention to Particles and Context

Choosing the right vocabulary and sentence structure is crucial. Pay special attention to particles and context.

Example:

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย ย  ์šด๋™ ํšจ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋†’์ด๋‹ค (To improve exercise effectiveness) vs. ์šด๋™ ํšจ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ๋†’๋‹ค (Exercise effectiveness is high).

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย ย  ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์‹์Šต๊ด€์€ ์˜จ๋„ ์ฐจ์ด๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์น˜์•„๋ฅผ ์ƒํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ•œ๋‹ค.
(This eating habit damages teeth due to temperature differences.)


5. Utilize Vocabulary from the Question

Use the vocabulary provided in the question to avoid unnecessary mistakes. Introducing new or unfamiliar words can lead to errors if they donโ€™t fit the context.


6. Handle Subjects Like ์ด๊ฒƒ์€, ๊ทธ ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•์€...

Sentences starting with ์ด๊ฒƒ์€ (this) or ๊ทธ ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•์€ (that method) often require a declarative ending.

Common Formula:

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย ย  ์ด๊ฒƒ์€/๊ทธ ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•์€... (๋ฐ”๋กœ) N์ด๋‹ค/ V๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด๋‹ค.
(This/That method is...)

Example:
์ด๊ฒƒ์€ ๋‹จ์ˆœํ•œ ๊ทœ์น™์„ ์ง€ํ‚ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด๋‹ค.
(This is about following simple rules.)


7. Additional Tips for Success

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย ย  Identify Keywords: Focus on the main keywords in the question and answer choices.

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย ย  Analyze Context: Pay attention to the sentences before and after to choose the right words.

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย ย  Avoid Guessing: Read carefully and analyze the sentence structure to avoid choosing answers based on intuition.
