Our school's volunteer club, Helping Hands, ①tries to make small acts of kindness feel natural. Each month, students visit a nearby nursing home and spend an afternoon ②talked with elderly residents. For example, they read newspapers aloud or just listen to old stories from the residents. In addition, members collect used books and toys from classmates and ③donate them to a community center downtown. Some students feel nervous before their first visit, unsure of what ④to say to strangers. However, most discover that a warm smile works better than perfect words. Therefore, the club's real goal is not just finishing hours for a report card. Instead, it teaches members that ⑤caring for others grows into a lasting habit, like watering a plant daily. By the end of the year, many students say the club changed how they see their community.

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, held in the auditorium at two o'clock, will ④ending 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.

Many people give up on their new year's resolutions within just a few days, and psychologists explain that this happens mainly because of _______________. First, willpower is like a muscle that becomes tired after being used too much, so people often run out of self-control by the end of a busy day. Second, many resolutions are unrealistic from the beginning, since people set goals that are far too difficult to reach in a short time. Third, most resolutions do not offer any immediate reward, so people find it hard to stay motivated without seeing fast results.

Many students give up on their New Year goals because the goals feel too big to handle. For example, becoming fluent in English this year sounds exciting, but it can quickly feel overwhelming. A more effective approach is to ___________. Instead of focusing on the entire year, try setting a goal for just one week, such as learning twenty new words. Once you complete that small step, move on to the next one, and gradually build toward the bigger goal.

Every morning, our broadcasting club airs a short news program for the entire school. Last Tuesday, I was chosen to read the weather report for the very first time. My hands were shaking as the red light on the camera turned on. Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly forgot the next line completely. For a few seconds, only silence filled the studio, and I could hear my own heartbeat. My partner Minho, who was sitting beside me, quickly slid the script closer to me. I took a deep breath and calmly continued reading from where I had stopped. Somehow, my voice sounded steadier than I expected, and I finished the report smoothly. After the broadcast ended, several classmates told me they had not even noticed the pause. That morning taught me that _______________.

Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. (A) 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, since a book that is too difficult can make a student give up on reading altogether. (B) 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, the best list keeps changing to match its readers. (C) Choosing these books is not as simple as picking well-known titles, because teachers must think about a wide range of student interests, not just their own favorites.

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.

Yet the more she corrected them, the quieter the room became. Last month, our class began practicing for the school choir contest, but rehearsals quickly turned tense. ( ① ) Minji, who had the loudest voice, kept correcting other members in the middle of songs. ( ② ) Several students felt hurt and began skipping practice, saying it felt more like criticism than teamwork. Our music teacher noticed the empty seats and asked what was happening. ( ③ ) Minji explained that she only wanted the group to sound perfect. However, Junho said her tone made people afraid to sing at all. ( ④ ) After an awkward silence, Minji admitted she had never noticed how her words affected others. So the class tried something new: each member shared one compliment before rehearsal began. ( ⑤ ) Slowly, the tension faded and attendance returned to normal. On the day of the contest, the choir sang together with real confidence and earned second place.

주어진 문장: This same routine has continued every week since the project began in March. The science club at Hanul High School is running a project called "Grow Light." It tests how different colors of light affect plant growth. ( ① ) Each week, members place identical bean sprouts under red, blue, and white light and record their height. ( ② ) At first, many students expected the white light to produce the tallest plants. ( ③ ) However, the results showed that plants under red light grew noticeably faster than the others. ( ④ ) 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 efficiently than others. ( ⑤ ) To make the data reliable, 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 present these findings at the school science fair.

주어진 문장: It was the first time she had truly felt like part of a team. Jimin joined the school band club in March, but she had never performed before an audience. ( ① ) The club's first concert was only two weeks away, and everyone felt nervous. ( ② ) During practice, her hands shook whenever the song reached the chorus, and she kept missing the same chord. ( ③ ) Instead of laughing at her mistakes, the other members waited patiently and played the section again with her. The drummer, Suho, suggested that she focus on just one part at a time. ( ④ ) Slowly, her fingers grew more confident, and the chord that once felt impossible began to feel natural. The club practiced until the melody sounded smooth the night before the concert. When Jimin walked onto the stage, she thought of her friends' patience instead of her fear. ( ⑤ ) The audience clapped warmly, and she realized her club's support had made the difference.
