Part C
Writing & Culture (25 marks)

Long form questions focusing on practical application:

Q.1
Introduce yourself in Korean (Jagi-sogae - 5-8 lines) 🔥 OR Write a short dialogue (Shopping / Ordering food)
Q.2
Culture: Write about Chuseok, Hanbok, or Kimchi OR Write the time/date using Sino and Native numbers correctly
💡 Language Exam Secret: Consonant vs Vowel endings matter! You MUST know whether a noun ends in a consonant (patchim) or a vowel to pick the right particle (e.g., Eun vs Neun, I vs Ga). Memorize your Jagi-sogae (Self-introduction) perfectly!
