The job market has changed dramatically over the past few decades, and it continues ①to shift every year. Many tasks once done entirely by humans are now ②shared with machines and computer programs. As a result, some traditional jobs have slowly disappeared, while entirely new positions ③have emerged to replace them. Workers who once relied on a single skill for their whole career now often need to learn new tools, ④which did not exist twenty years ago. Experts note that workers who stay flexible and keep learning ⑤tends to succeed regardless of which industry they choose.

Sorting your trash correctly is _______________. When you separate paper, plastic, glass, and cans, recycling centers can process each material more efficiently. 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. 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. 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.

Last summer, our neighborhood association invited students to help paint a mural on the long wall beside the community center, and nearly forty volunteers with completely different painting abilities showed up on the first day. I worried that combining so many different skill levels would create an ugly, mismatched result, since some volunteers had painted for years while others, including me, had never held a large brush before. The project leader solved this by _______________. Beginners filled in wide open skies, while experienced painters added fine details like veins on leaves or shadows under birds. When the plastic sheets finally came down, the mural looked remarkably unified, not despite the many different hands involved, but because each hand had been given a task suited to what it could do well.

Last year our art club received a set of digital drawing tablets, and I assumed switching from paper would feel like cheating, since a screen seemed to remove the physical struggle of real drawing. (A) What the tablet does offer is the freedom to undo a mistake instantly and experiment with colors without wasting paper, which encourages artists to take risks. Several members who once avoided painting now try bold new styles daily. (B) After a few weeks of practice, though, I noticed the tablet demanded a different kind of skill rather than an easier one. (C) Because there is no paper texture to guide the pen, beginners often press too hard or draw shaky lines until their hand adjusts to the smooth glass surface.

Many people throw away items that they no longer need. However, more and more students have begun to give old belongings a new purpose through secondhand trading. (A) For example, a jacket that no longer fits your older sibling can become a treasure for someone else, and giving an item to a new owner is like giving a toy a second life. (B) Therefore, secondhand trading, which requires little effort, protects both your wallet and the environment, and small choices like this can make a big difference for our planet. (C) This practice takes place at flea markets or through simple online apps, and when you buy a secondhand item, you save money and reduce waste at the same time.

During the sports day relay race, Jun was nervous, and his hands were shaking as he waited for the baton. When his turn came, he grabbed the baton but nearly dropped it while turning the first corner. (A) As he handed the baton smoothly to the next runner, he realized that the team's effort mattered more than his mistake. (B) His teammates, watching from the field, shouted his name and encouraged him to keep running. Even though Jun felt embarrassed, their cheering gave him confidence to focus on the runner ahead of him. (C) After the race, his teammates gathered around him and said that his recovery had kept the team in the competition. Jun understood then that teamwork means supporting each other even after something goes wrong. His class did not win first place, but they celebrated together as if they had.

Building a reading habit does not usually start with a big decision to read more. (A) It often starts with very small, easy steps, such as keeping a book in a bag or choosing a fixed time each day to read for just ten minutes. (B) These small routines work because they lower the effort needed to begin; once a student opens a book, continuing to read feels much easier than starting did. (C) Over weeks, these tiny actions add up, and reading slowly becomes something the student simply does, rather than something the student has to force.

The change is small, but it asks students to do something quite different. Many English teachers now ask students to write a short review after finishing a book, rather than simply filling out a reading log. ( ① ) At first, students often complain that summarizing a plot is enough work already, so writing an opinion on top of that feels unnecessary. ( ② ) However, a review requires something a summary does not: a clear judgment supported by specific evidence from the text. ( ③ ) To defend an opinion about a character or a theme, students must return to the book and find exact passages that support their view. ( ④ ) This process forces readers to notice details they might have skipped during a first, quick reading. ( ⑤ ) Teachers who assign reviews regularly report that their students remember plot details more accurately and discuss characters' motivations more confidently than students who only summarize, and writing a review turns out to be a way of reading more carefully in the first place.
