Students often groan when a classic novel appears on their reading list, ①complains that the language feels old-fashioned and the plot moves too slowly. It is true that classic literature can be harder to read than a modern bestseller ②written in casual, everyday language. Yet this very difficulty is part of why classics remain valuable for young readers today. Working through unfamiliar sentence patterns and vocabulary trains the brain ③to handle complex texts, a skill that transfers directly to other subjects and to standardized tests. Beyond language training, classic novels also explore themes such as jealousy, ambition, and loss that ④have not changed much across centuries. Readers often discover that a character written hundreds of years ago struggles with feelings that still ⑤feel familiar today.

The Riverside Summer Festival will take place from August 1st to August 3rd at Riverside Park.

During the day, local farmers will sell fresh fruits and handmade crafts at outdoor booths, and in the evening, live music performances will ②entertain the crowd. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own water bottles, since most areas of the park ③allow vehicles freely. Parking near the park is ④limited, so using public transportation is strongly recommended. Organizers hope this festival will bring the community ⑤together for a memorable summer weekend.

Last summer, I worked part-time at a small coffee shop near my house. I learned how to stay calm during busy hours and communicate clearly with customers. One day, a customer complained loudly about a mistake in her order. Instead of arguing, I apologized and quickly made a new drink for her. She left with a smile, and my manager praised my patience afterward. Through small moments like this, I began to understand ___________. The part-time job did not pay much, but the lessons it gave me were worth far more than the money.

Last spring, Minji joined a new club at her school called the Green Runners. Every Saturday morning, the members jog around the neighborhood park while picking up trash. This activity, called plogging, combines jogging with cleaning up litter from the streets. At first, Minji felt embarrassed to pick up garbage in front of other people. However, _______________. For example, the group collected more than twenty bags of trash during their first month together. Picking up litter while running is like turning an ordinary workout into a meaningful mission. Minji's legs grew tired, but her heart felt proud after every session. Now, she encourages her friends, who used to tease her, to join the club as well. Minji believes that small habits, practiced together, can change a whole community.

The city operates free cooling centers to help residents cope with extreme summer heat. (A) Most locations are open from nine in the morning until six in the evening, seven days a week. (B) These centers, located in community halls and libraries, offer air-conditioned spaces free of charge. (C) Since there is no cost and no reservation is required, residents are encouraged to visit whenever needed.

Sorting your trash correctly is one of the simplest habits that protect our environment. (A) For example, plastic bottles should be rinsed and have their caps removed before being thrown away. Paper soaked with food or oil, however, cannot be recycled and must go into general waste. (B) Likewise, mixing recyclables with ordinary trash makes the whole recycling process complicated. Many students believe that sorting trash takes too much time, but it actually requires only a few extra seconds. Therefore, learning these basic rules now helps you build a habit that benefits your entire community. (C) When you separate paper, plastic, glass, and cans, recycling centers can process each material more efficiently. Sorting garbage is similar to organizing a closet, where each type of clothing has its own shelf. If items are mixed together carelessly, finding what you need later becomes difficult.

The science club at Hanul High School is running a project called "Grow Light." It tests how different colors of light affect plant growth. (A) However, the results showed that plants under red light grew noticeably faster than the others. The club's advisor explained this by comparing light to food, since plants absorb certain colors of light more efficiently than others. (B) To make the data reliable, students repeat each trial three times and calculate the average, keeping a shared notebook of conditions. Next month, the club plans to present these findings at the school science fair. (C) Each week, members place identical bean sprouts under red, blue, and white light and record their height. At first, many students expected the white light to produce the tallest plants.

At first, Minji did not know how to fix the tension she had caused during rehearsals. (A) Soon, other members began doing the same, and rehearsals felt warmer than before. (B) She decided to start each practice by praising one small thing a classmate had done well. (C) The next day, she tried her new idea, and the room grew quiet as everyone listened.

This year's fair is expected to be the largest one the school has ever held. Central High School will host its annual career fair next Thursday in the main gymnasium. ( ① ) More than thirty companies and organizations will set up booths to introduce different careers. ( ② ) Each booth will offer a short activity so visitors can experience a small part of the job. ( ③ ) For example, the engineering booth will let students build a simple model bridge. ( ④ ) In addition, three guest speakers will give short talks about their career paths during the lunch break. ( ⑤ ) Teachers strongly encourage all students to attend.

Surveys show that fewer than half of teenage cyclists put one on before every ride. Riding a bicycle is one of the most popular ways for teenagers to get around, yet many students still skip the one piece of equipment that could save their life: the helmet. ( ① ) Some argue that a short trip to a nearby store does not require any special protection, since the risk of a serious accident feels distant and unlikely. ( ② ) However, most bicycle accidents happen close to home, on familiar streets where riders feel too comfortable to expect danger. ( ③ ) A sudden pothole, a car door opening without warning, or a patch of gravel can throw even an experienced cyclist off balance in an instant. ( ④ ) Wearing a helmet does not prevent a fall, but it dramatically reduces the chance of a serious head injury when one occurs. ( ⑤ )
