On the first day of our improv theater workshop, the instructor ①gave us a rule that seemed impossible to follow: never say no to whatever another performer suggests. If a scene partner claimed the empty classroom was actually a submarine, our job was ②to accept that fact instantly and build on it, rather than correcting or rejecting the idea. I found this terrifying at first, since improv offers no script to hide behind and no time ③to plan a clever line in advance. Over several weeks, though, I noticed that the students who worried most about saying something wrong were usually the ones who froze on stage, while those who simply accepted whatever happened and reacted honestly ④creating the funniest, most memorable scenes. The instructor explained that improv is not really about being naturally quick-witted, but about ⑤trusting a partner's idea enough to build on it rather than protecting your own.

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.

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.

When summer vacation began, I decided to make a daily schedule so that I would not waste my free time. At first, my plan was too ①strict, with study sessions packed back to back and almost no breaks. After only three days, I felt exhausted and gave up on the schedule completely. My older sister recommended setting two or three main goals for each day rather than filling every single hour, which sounded much more ②relaxed. I also learned to include short breaks between tasks, since resting actually ③helps me focus better afterward. Since making these changes, I have been able to follow my schedule much more ④consistently, and my vacation has become both productive and ⑤stressful.

Last Saturday, Jimin visited the recycling center near her apartment with her science class. She had expected the place to be ①dirty and unpleasant, but the center looked ②clean and well organized. A worker named Mr. Park guided the students through each area, explaining how bottles, cans, and paper were sorted. He showed them a machine that crushed plastic bottles into small pieces before they were sent to factories. Jimin was surprised to learn that mixed trash, thrown into the wrong bin, often ③preserved an entire batch of recyclables. For example, one greasy pizza box could contaminate a whole pile of clean paper. However, when items were sorted correctly, they could be ④reused many times, almost like ingredients in a favorite recipe. Walking home, Jimin realized that her small effort at home truly mattered. She decided to sort her family's trash more ⑤carefully.

Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. This event aims to restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. 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. _______________. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig proper holes without harming the tree roots. 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. Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for free. Students interested in joining should register online before next Wednesday.

The Riverside Summer Festival will take place from August 1st to August 3rd at Riverside Park. This annual event offers ___________. During the day, local farmers and small businesses will sell fresh fruits, snacks, and handmade crafts. In the evening, live music performances and a fireworks show will light up the night sky, while children can enjoy water games near the fountain area.

Food poisoning becomes much more common in summer, so it is important to handle food carefully. (A) In addition, keep perishable food in the refrigerator and never leave it out at room temperature for long. (B) First, always wash your hands with soap before you prepare or eat any food. (C) Finally, if you notice symptoms such as stomach pain or vomiting, see a doctor as soon as possible.

Watching myself on the recording afterward was even more uncomfortable than facing the camera live. Last month, I attended a three-day career camp during summer vacation. ( ① ) On the first day, I chose the broadcasting workshop, where students practiced writing short news scripts and reading them in front of a camera. ( ② ) It was harder than I expected, since staying calm while a camera recorded my every move felt strange at first. ( ③ ) By the second day, however, I began to enjoy the challenge, and my confidence grew with each attempt. ( ④ ) The instructors, who all had real broadcasting experience, gave detailed feedback rather than simple praise, which helped us improve quickly. ( ⑤ ) On the final day, each team presented a short news segment to the entire camp.

That single moment made me forget my nervousness completely. Last spring, I joined a one-day job experience program at a local hospital. ( ① ) A kind nurse named Ms. Park showed me around the ward and explained her daily duties. ( ② ) At first, I was nervous about talking to real patients, but I helped an elderly patient find her room. ( ③ ) The busiest moment came when several patients needed attention at once, and the nurses worked together calmly. ( ④ ) I realized that teamwork matters as much as medical knowledge. ( ⑤ ) By the end of the day, my interest in nursing had grown even stronger.
