When choosing a future career, students often face a common question: should I follow what I love, or what I ①being good at? Passion can provide strong motivation, ②pushing a person to practice for hours without feeling tired. However, loving an activity does not always mean a person will become skilled at it professionally. Natural talent can lead to quick success, but without genuine interest, that success may eventually feel ③empty or exhausting. Career experts suggest ④looking for an overlap between the two. Finding this balance takes time and self-reflection, but it often leads to a more ⑤satisfying and sustainable career.

Have you ever wondered why some people stay motivated while others give up quickly? The answer often lies in whether they have a clear goal. When people have no specific goal, they usually feel confused about where ①to start, and their interest fades within days. For example, a student who simply decides ②to study harder this year often loses direction because the plan is too vague. In contrast, a student who sets a clear goal, such as raising an English score by ten points, ③knows exactly what to do every day. This clarity creates strong motivation because the brain naturally ④focus on a clear target. A clear goal also makes progress easy to measure, and noticing small improvements keeps people ⑤encouraged to continue.

Every spring, the art club at Sejong High School creates one large mural ①together instead of individual paintings. The process begins with a session where members suggest themes and vote on their favorite idea. Once a theme is chosen, the club divides into small teams, each responsible for one section of the wall. One team sketches the outline while another mixes colors to match the design. Communication becomes ②unnecessary at this stage, since each section must connect smoothly with the ones beside it. If one team paints too dark a shade, the whole picture can look ③unbalanced. Therefore, members ④regularly step back to compare their section with the rest of the mural. After several weekends, the teams combine their sections into a single image. The finished mural is displayed near the entrance, reminding everyone what ⑤cooperation can achieve.

Choosing a college major is one of the biggest ①decisions many students face after high school. Some students assume that their major will completely determine their future career, but this is not always true. What matters more than the major itself is the set of skills a student develops, such as critical thinking, writing, and problem solving. These abilities can be applied to ②a single career only. However, choosing a major that genuinely interests a student still matters, because motivation makes learning ③easier and more effective. Therefore, students should choose a major based on ④curiosity and personal growth, not only on which job it seems to ⑤guarantee.

Every October, Greenfield High School holds a festival that _______________. This year's festival will take place on October 15th, running from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon. Clubs that want to run a booth must apply to the student council by October 1st, since space in the gym is limited. The science club will present simple experiments that are both safe and exciting to watch. The art club, meanwhile, will display paintings that members have created throughout the semester. The cooking club plans to sell snacks prepared by its own members, and all the profits will be donated to a local shelter. Because many visitors are expected, teachers will supervise each booth carefully to keep students safe. Anyone curious about club life is warmly encouraged to visit and enjoy the festival.

Attention, students and teachers! Our school is starting a new campaign called 'Bring Your Own Bag.' Starting next Monday, the school store will no longer offer free plastic bags to customers. Instead, we encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home. Plastic bags, which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be used again and again for many years. Therefore, using a reusable bag is _______________. For example, students who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. However, students who forget their bags may still purchase a paper bag for a small fee. We hope every student will join this easy and meaningful campaign. Thank you for helping our school become greener.

My grandmother keeps a wooden cabinet filled with tiny furniture, each piece no larger than a fingernail, that she has been building for over a decade as a miniature hobby. When I first saw the cabinet, I assumed the appeal was simply how impressively small and precise the pieces looked. Talking with her while she worked, though, I learned that _______________. She once spent three weekends carving a single tiny bookshelf, only to leave two of its shelves deliberately empty, explaining that a completely full room would look staged rather than lived-in. That small decision taught me that miniature craft is not primarily about precision, but about convincingly imagining an ordinary life small enough to fit inside a shoebox.
