#52: Korean Writing Expressions Koreans Actually Use in Reports (That TOPIK Loves)

Do you freeze when you see a chart or graph in the TOPIK II Writing section? 😰
You’re not alone! Many learners repeat basic words like 많다 and 적다 — but those won’t get you a high score.

In this episode, Eliza teaches you how to describe charts and comparisons using natural report-style expressions that Koreans actually use — and that TOPIK examiners love to see.

You’ll learn essential patterns, advanced verbs, and ready-to-use sentences that instantly make your writing sound more fluent, formal, and professional.

What You’ll Learn

  • Real expressions Koreans use in reports and essays.
  • How to describe increase/decrease naturally (증가하다, 줄어들다, 추세이다).
  • How to make comparisons (A에 비해 B는…, A와 B를 비교했을 때…).
  • Useful connectors for describing data trends and results.
  • A short practice activity to apply what you learn right away.


Practice Prompt from the Episode

Imagine this chart:
The percentage of people who prefer online classes rose from 30% in 2020 to 60% in 2024.

Write one sentence using today’s expressions and share your sentence with Eliza on Instagram or by email!
