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

Every day, people throw away piles of ①used paper without thinking about where it goes. However, most of that paper does not have to end up in a landfill. Instead, it can travel to a recycling factory and become brand new paper again. First, workers collect old newspapers, boxes, and notebooks left in recycling bins. These papers are then soaked in water and turned into ②hard, mushy pulp. You can think of this process like breaking a cookie back into flour and water. For example, ink and small pieces of plastic are ③removed from the pulp during this stage. The ④clean pulp is pressed into thin sheets and dried in large machines. Therefore, a wrinkled old newspaper can be ⑤reborn as clean white paper. In contrast to throwing paper away, recycling it saves trees and reduces waste.

A shocking headline can spread across social media within minutes, long before anyone checks whether it is actually true. Studies show that false stories often travel ①slower than accurate ones, partly because surprising or emotional claims get shared more quickly than careful, balanced reporting. To handle this flood of information, students today need a skill that previous generations rarely had to practice: checking a source before believing it. Simple habits can make a ②real difference, such as looking for the original source of a claim, checking the date an article was published, and searching to see whether other trustworthy outlets are reporting the same story. Media literacy classes now teach students to ③pause before they share anything, asking who wrote it and why. This small pause, teachers say, is often the only thing standing between a curious reader and a piece of ④convincing misinformation, protecting not only the reader but everyone in their online ⑤network.

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 _______________.

Last spring, I joined a one-day job experience program at a local hospital. A kind nurse named Ms. Park showed me around the ward and explained how nurses check patients' conditions. At first, I was nervous about talking to real patients. However, after helping an elderly patient find her room, I felt proud and relaxed. The busiest moment came when several patients needed attention at once, and the nurses worked together calmly. I realized that ___________. By the end of the day, my interest in nursing had grown even stronger.

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

Most students only see the final result, a few smooth minutes each morning. Behind that short program, however, broadcasting club members follow a busy daily routine. (A) At exactly eight o'clock, the red light turns on, and the live broadcast begins. During class hours, however, most members return to their regular classroom lessons like everyone else. (B) Members arrive at school thirty minutes earlier than other students to prepare the studio. They check the microphones, the cameras, and the lighting before anyone else arrives. Meanwhile, the script team finalizes the news script that was written the night before. Once everything is ready, the anchors practice their lines one last time. (C) After school, the club meets again to review that morning's recording and discuss any mistakes. Through this daily routine, members slowly learn skills such as teamwork and quick thinking under pressure.

School clubs sometimes influence students' career choices more than any single class does. (A) As a result, some students discover a career direction they had never seriously considered before. (B) For example, a student in a broadcasting club might learn scriptwriting, filming, and editing all at once. (C) These hands-on skills often feel more real than anything learned from a textbook.

She answered without hesitation, saying that architecture had been her dream since childhood. For a class project, I interviewed a local architect who has worked in the field for over fifteen years. ( ① ) I asked her why she chose this career. ( ② ) She explained that architects must balance creativity with practical concerns like safety and cost. ( ③ ) When I asked about challenges, she mentioned that clients sometimes change their minds after a design is finished. ( ④ ) She also advised students to visit construction sites whenever possible, since seeing a real building take shape teaches lessons no classroom can offer. ( ⑤ ) Her passion made me consider design as a possible career for myself.
