When I told my parents I wanted to become a musician, I expected them to worry about money and stability. Instead, my father ①surprised me by asking what kind of music made me feel most alive. My mother, who had once dreamed of becoming a painter herself, ②admitted that she still wondered what her life might have looked like. Their honesty made me realize that parents' influence on career choices is not always about ③freedom or control. Sometimes, it comes quietly through shared stories and unfinished dreams. Still, my parents' support taught me that the most helpful kind of guidance often ④respects a child's own voice instead of replacing it. Their trust gave me the ⑤courage to keep pursuing music seriously.

At first, Minjun thought the campaign sounded ①boring and unnecessary for someone like him. However, his teacher explained that leftover food thrown away every day adds up to a ②huge amount of waste. This comparison ③surprised Minjun because he had never thought about food that way before. Within a few weeks, his tray was almost always ④full, and he felt ⑤proud of the change.

More and more teenagers today dream of starting their own business someday. This growing interest is partly due to the internet, which makes it ①easy to reach customers without a physical store. Starting a small business also teaches skills that traditional classes rarely offer, such as ②managing money, marketing a product, and handling customer complaints. However, young entrepreneurs face real ③challenges too. Many lack enough money or experience to make their business grow quickly, and mistakes can feel ④encouraging at first. Still, most teen entrepreneurs say that failure taught them more than any success did, and schools now offer entrepreneurship clubs to support these ⑤beginners.

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.

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.

Passion and talent each offer different advantages when choosing a career. (A) Talent, meanwhile, can lead to quick success, but without real interest, that success may feel empty over time. (B) Passion gives strong motivation, pushing a person to practice for long hours without feeling tired. (C) For this reason, many experts recommend looking for an overlap between the two rather than choosing only one.

Turning off lights when you leave a room seems like a tiny action, but it saves more energy than most people expect. (A) However, when an entire school forms this habit together, the total amount of saved energy becomes significant. Therefore, this small daily habit can create a surprisingly large positive effect for the whole planet. (B) Every light left on in an empty room wastes electricity that could have powered something useful elsewhere. For example, a single classroom light left on overnight can waste enough energy to charge dozens of phones. (C) This habit is similar to leaving a faucet running while you brush your teeth, where water flows out for no reason. Both actions seem harmless in the moment, but they add up to a serious waste over time. Some students argue that a single light does not make much difference.

This weekly ritual might sound unusual to anyone who has only ever read a novel alone. Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in the corner of a quiet cafe, coffee cups in hand, ready to talk about a book they have all just finished. ( ① ) This is a book club, and its members insist that reading the same novel together changes the experience completely. ( ② ) Alone, a reader usually forms one interpretation and rarely questions it again. ( ③ ) In a group, however, one member's small comment about a minor character can suddenly change how everyone else understood the whole story. ( ④ ) Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance pushes them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through. ( ⑤ ) Perhaps the greatest benefit is social rather than literary: strangers from very different backgrounds discover that they share the same doubts, laughter, and surprises over the very same pages.

In addition, outstanding volunteers will be recognized with a small award at the end of the summer. The Hillside Community Center is looking for student volunteers to help with its summer programs. ( ① ) Volunteers will assist with activities such as tutoring younger children, organizing books, and helping elderly residents with simple errands. ( ② ) No prior experience is necessary, since training will be provided on the first day. ( ③ ) Volunteers will receive an official certificate that can be used for school volunteer hour requirements. ( ④ ) Students who are interested should complete an online application form before July 10th. ( ⑤ ) Because the number of positions is limited, early applications are strongly encouraged.

주어진 문장: No experience is necessary, so anyone who cares about nature is welcome to join. Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. ① This event aims to restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. ② Volunteers will meet at the community center at nine in the morning and travel together by bus. Please wear old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting dirty during the activity. ③ Each participant will plant three young trees, guided by experienced forest rangers throughout the morning. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig proper holes without harming the tree roots. ④ In contrast, planting too shallowly often causes young trees to die within a few months. Therefore, careful instructions must be followed closely by every volunteer. ⑤ Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for free. Students interested in joining should register online before next Wednesday.
