Last New Year's Day, I wrote three goals in my diary: reading more books, exercising regularly, and saving money for a bicycle. Today, exactly one year later, I opened that old page and smiled at how much ①has changed. I did not finish all twelve books I had planned, but I read six, ②which was still more than the year before. Saving money was harder than I expected, since unexpected expenses ③kept appearing. My exercise habit became the biggest surprise, and I now run almost every morning without ④feeling forced. Looking back, I realized that progress does not always match the original plan, and what matters more is that I kept trying, adjusted my methods, and ⑤to learn something new about myself along the way.

Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium. Every student ①is invited to share one personal goal for this year in front of classmates and teachers. Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props ②to explain the goal clearly. Students ③who wish to participate must submit a short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd. The event, ④held in the auditorium at two o'clock, will ending with light refreshments for everyone who attended. Prizes will be given for the most creative goal and the most inspiring presentation, ⑤chosen by a panel of teachers.

Attention all club leaders: applications for the club budget are now open. If your club wants support for materials, events, or competitions, please follow the steps below. First, download the budget request form from the school website and ①fill in your club's name, purpose, and requested amount. Second, attach a short plan ②explaining how the money will be used, since forms without a clear plan will not be reviewed. Third, submit the completed form to the teacher in charge of student activities by August 14th. Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted. Once submitted, each request will be reviewed by the budget committee, ③which meets every Friday. Approved clubs will receive their funds within two weeks, and results ④will be posted on the club bulletin board. Please contact Mr. Han in the activities office if you ⑤has any questions.

Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment. Used batteries, ①what contain harmful chemicals, should never be ②thrown away with regular trash. If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. Therefore, our building has installed a special collection box for used batteries near the main entrance. Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. The box, ③which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone ④to use. For example, small button batteries from watches and toys can also be dropped in the box. However, batteries ⑤that are still working should not be thrown away at all. We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood clean and safe. Thank you for your cooperation and kindness.

One day, her science teacher showed the class a photo of a beach ①covered with plastic cups and bottles. That evening, she found an old tumbler ②hiding in a kitchen drawer and decided to use it every day. At first, ③carrying the tumbler felt inconvenient, and she often forgot to bring it to school. However, she kept a reminder note on her bag, ④which helped her remember it each morning. Within a month, ⑤using the tumbler had become as natural as brushing her teeth.

When people fail to reach a goal, they often feel ①embarrassed and want to give up. However, the way a person thinks about failure can change what happens next. Some people believe failing means they simply lack ability, so they ②stop trying. Others see failure differently: they treat it as ③useless information that shows what needs to change. For example, a student who fails a math test might later ask the teacher which questions were weak points and study those areas more ④carefully. Over time, people who view failure as a lesson rather than a final judgment tend to keep working toward their goals, even after several ⑤setbacks.

The science club at Hanul High School is running a project called "Grow Light." It tests how different colors of light affect plant growth. Each week, members place ①identical 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. However, the results showed that plants under red light grew ②noticeably faster than the others. The club's advisor explained this by comparing light to food. Just as people need certain nutrients to grow strong, plants absorb certain colors of light more ③efficiently than others. To make the data ④reliable, students repeat each trial three times and calculate the average. They also keep a shared notebook, recording sunlight, watering time, and temperature. Next month, the club plans to ⑤hide these findings at the school science fair.

Whether or not a goal is motivating often depends on how clear it is. (A) For example, a student who simply decides to study harder often loses direction because the plan is too vague. (B) In contrast, a student who sets a clear goal, such as raising an English score by ten points, knows exactly what to do every day. (C) This is because a clear goal gives the brain an exact target to focus on, which makes progress easy to measure and keeps people motivated.

Many students confuse the student council with school clubs. In fact, the two groups serve very different purposes. (A) Therefore, joining the council usually requires an election, whereas joining a club simply requires genuine interest. Some students eventually do both, using the council to build leadership skills and a club to develop a personal passion. (B) The student council is an official body that represents the whole school. It manages shared issues such as rules, events, and communication with teachers. For example, council members often organize the school festival and collect opinions from each class before making decisions. (C) A club, in contrast, is a small group formed around one shared interest, such as music or art. While the council must consider the needs of every student, a club can focus narrowly on what its own members enjoy.

Dear residents, we are writing to explain how to separate food waste correctly in our building. Many people still throw food waste into the general trash, which causes bad smells. Therefore, this notice describes the exact steps you should follow every day. (A) First, please use the special yellow bin near the parking lot for all food scraps. Fruit peels, vegetable ends, and leftover rice belong in this bin, not in a plastic bag. (B) However, hard items such as eggshells and bones must go into the general trash instead. In addition, please drain excess liquid from your food waste before throwing it away. (C) This simple habit, which only takes a few seconds, keeps the area clean and dry. For example, tea bags should never be placed in the food waste bin. Thank you for helping our neighborhood stay pleasant.
