Students often groan when a classic novel appears on their reading list, ①complains that the language feels old-fashioned and the plot moves too slowly. It is true that classic literature can be harder to read than a modern bestseller ②written in casual, everyday language. Yet this very difficulty is part of why classics remain valuable for young readers today. Working through unfamiliar sentence patterns and vocabulary trains the brain ③to handle complex texts, a skill that transfers directly to other subjects and to standardized tests. Beyond language training, classic novels also explore themes such as jealousy, ambition, and loss that ④have not changed much across centuries. Readers often discover that a character written hundreds of years ago struggles with feelings that still ⑤feel familiar today.

Last month, I ①attended a three-day career camp during summer vacation. The camp offered workshops in fields such as broadcasting, cooking, and environmental science. On the first day, I chose the broadcasting workshop, ②where students practiced writing short news scripts. It was harder than I expected, since staying calm while a camera ③recorded my every move felt strange at first. The instructors, who all had real broadcasting experience, gave detailed feedback rather than simple praise, ④that helped us improve quickly. On the final day, each team ⑤presented a short news segment to the entire camp.

When someone's heart suddenly stops beating, the brain begins to suffer damage within minutes unless blood keeps circulating. Studies show that a person who receives CPR immediately from someone nearby is far more likely to ①survive than one who waits for professional help to arrive. Despite this, many people ②hesitate to start chest compressions, worried that they might break a rib or make the situation worse. Modern CPR training has also been ③simplified, focusing on firm, rhythmic chest compressions rather than the more complicated combination of breaths and compressions once required, making the skill ④easier for ordinary students to learn and remember under pressure. For this reason, many schools now ⑤exclude CPR training as a standard part of health education.

Two years ago, I began volunteering at an animal shelter near my neighborhood on weekends. My tasks included feeding animals, cleaning cages, and helping visitors choose a pet to adopt. Over time, I noticed how much I ①enjoyed calming nervous or injured animals. One rainy afternoon, a frightened puppy refused to eat, and I sat quietly beside it for over an hour until it finally ②relaxed. Watching the puppy trust me changed something inside me. I began researching careers in veterinary medicine and animal behavior, subjects I had ③frequently considered before. My volunteer work, which started as a simple ④hobby, slowly turned into the ⑤clearest career direction I had ever found.

My grandmother keeps a wooden cabinet filled with tiny furniture, each piece no larger than a fingernail, that she has been building for over a decade as a miniature hobby. When I first saw the cabinet, I assumed the appeal was simply how impressively small and precise the pieces looked. Talking with her while she worked, though, I learned that _______________. She once spent three weekends carving a single tiny bookshelf, only to leave two of its shelves deliberately empty, explaining that a completely full room would look staged rather than lived-in. That small decision taught me that miniature craft is not primarily about precision, but about convincingly imagining an ordinary life small enough to fit inside a shoebox.

In other words, the most important part of photography happens before the camera is even raised. Our photography club meets every Thursday, and our advisor always repeats the same instruction before we leave campus: put the camera down for the first ten minutes and simply look around. ( ① ) At first this rule frustrated me, since I had joined the club specifically to take pictures, not to stand around empty-handed. ( ② ) Over time, though, I noticed that the members who followed her advice most closely tended to bring back the most interesting photographs. ( ③ ) Instead of snapping dozens of rushed shots of the first flower or building they saw, they waited for a specific moment, a shadow falling at the right angle or a stranger's unplanned gesture, and captured only that. ( ④ ) A camera, our advisor explained, cannot teach a person what is worth noticing; it can only record what the photographer has already decided matters. ( ⑤ )

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 is because clear goals give the brain a specific target to focus on. Have you ever wondered why some people stay motivated while others give up quickly? ( ① ) The answer often lies in whether they have a clear goal. ( ② ) When people have no specific goal, they usually feel confused about where to start, and their interest fades within days. ( ③ ) For example, a student who simply decides to study harder this year often loses direction because the plan is too vague. ( ④ ) 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. ( ⑤ ) A clear goal also makes progress easy to measure, and noticing small improvements keeps people encouraged.
