For many years, comic books and graphic novels were ①seen as a lazy alternative to real reading. Parents and teachers often worried that pictures did the work that words should do, ②leaving young readers with weaker vocabulary and imagination. Recent research, however, tells a more complicated story. Graphic novels actually require readers ③combining written text with visual clues, inferring emotion from a character's expression or understanding time gaps between panels. This combination can build a different but equally valuable set of reading skills. Teachers who once banned comics from their classrooms are now using them to reach students who ④struggled with traditional novels, finding that many reluctant readers finish an entire graphic novel and then move on to longer books with new confidence. Rather than replacing traditional reading, graphic novels appear ⑤to work best as a bridge that leads students toward it.

Many students confuse the student council with school clubs. In fact, the two groups serve very different purposes. The student council is an official body ①that 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. They also collect opinions from each class ②before making decisions. A club, in contrast, is a small group formed around one shared ③interests, 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 ④enjoy. Therefore, joining the council usually requires an election, whereas joining a club simply requires genuine interest. Some students eventually do both, ⑤using the council to build leadership skills and a club to develop a personal passion.

Last spring, I joined a one-day job experience program at a local hospital. At first, I was ①nervous about talking to real patients. However, after helping an elderly patient find her room, I felt ②proud and relaxed. The busiest moment came when several patients needed attention at once, and the nurses worked together ③calmly. I realized that teamwork matters as much as medical knowledge, and my interest in nursing had grown even ④stronger. This short experience taught me ⑤less about the job than any book could.

Drinking enough water is especially important during the hot summer months. When you sweat a lot, your body ①loses not only water but also important minerals called electrolytes. Experts recommend drinking water regularly throughout the day, rather than waiting until you feel thirsty, because thirst is often a sign that your body is already ②dehydrated. It is best to avoid sugary drinks and too much caffeine, since they can make dehydration ③better. Instead, choose plain water or drinks that contain electrolytes, especially after exercise. Eating water-rich fruits and vegetables can also help you stay ④hydrated and ⑤energetic.

Picture books are usually written for young children, but a growing number of adults are picking them up for themselves. At first glance, a picture book seems too ①simple for someone who has already learned to read long novels. However, many picture books deal with ②serious themes, such as loss, fear, and change, using only a few carefully chosen words. Because the text is short, every sentence carries extra weight, and readers naturally ③slow down to notice small details in the pictures. This slower pace can feel ④stressful for adults who are used to rushing through long articles and constant notifications. A picture book can also be finished in a single sitting, which makes it easy to return to the same story again and again. For these reasons, therapists and teachers sometimes recommend picture books not only to children but also to ⑤stressed adults who need a quiet moment.

Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. Choosing these books is not as simple as picking well-known titles. Teachers must think about a wide range of student interests, not just their own favorites. A good list should also include stories from different cultures and different kinds of characters, so that every student can find someone to relate to. Reading level matters too; a book that is too difficult can make a student give up on reading altogether, while a book that is too easy may feel boring. Teachers often ask students for feedback after they finish a book, and they slowly update the list based on what students actually enjoyed. In the end, _______________.

Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in a quiet cafe to talk about a book they have all just finished. Members insist that reading the same novel together changes the experience completely. Alone, a reader usually forms one interpretation and rarely questions it again. In a group, however, _______________. Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance pushes them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through.

Yuna and I decided to set our New Year goals together instead of separately, and our journey had several stages. (A) Thanks to her encouragement, I remembered why I had started, and we both kept going until we reached our goals by spring. (B) At first, we each wrote down our own goal and agreed to text each other every night about our progress. (C) After a couple of weeks, I began to feel tired and wanted to quit, but Yuna noticed my short replies and called me.

This simple comparison shows why learning the meaning of each symbol truly matters. Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know what these marks mean. ① Each symbol contains a number that shows what material the item is made of. ② For instance, the number one usually stands for clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. ③ Reading these marks is similar to reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Without checking the label, you might buy something unhealthy by mistake. ④ Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a reusable item straight to a landfill. Some marks even show that a material cannot be recycled at all, so it must be sorted separately. ⑤ Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more effective for everyone involved.

주어진 문장: So even complete beginners are always welcome to join us. Are you curious about capturing special moments around our school? The Photography Club is now looking for new members for this semester. ① We meet every Wednesday afternoon in Room 204, right after regular classes end. No experience is required, since senior members always teach the basics of using a camera. ② Each month, we choose a simple theme and take pictures together around the campus. ③ At the end of the semester, we hold a small exhibition to share our favorite photos. Members are also expected to bring their own camera or smartphone to every meeting. ④ If you enjoy taking pictures or want to try something new, please visit our booth this Friday. ⑤ Feel free to ask any current member if you have questions about joining.
