Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know ①what these marks mean. Each symbol contains a number ②that shows what material the item is made of. Reading these marks is similar to ③reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Likewise, ④throwing 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 ⑤sorted separately.

Many students confuse the student council with school clubs. In fact, the two groups serve very different purposes. The student council is an ①official body that represents the whole school. It manages ②shared 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 before making decisions. 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 ③narrowly on what its own members enjoy. Therefore, joining the council usually requires an election, whereas joining a club simply requires ④false interest. Some students eventually do both, using the council to build ⑤leadership skills and a club to develop a personal passion.

Every spring, the art club at Sejong High School creates one large mural ①together instead of individual paintings. The process begins with a session where members suggest themes and vote on their favorite idea. Once a theme is chosen, the club divides into small teams, each responsible for one section of the wall. One team sketches the outline while another mixes colors to match the design. Communication becomes ②unnecessary at this stage, since each section must connect smoothly with the ones beside it. If one team paints too dark a shade, the whole picture can look ③unbalanced. Therefore, members ④regularly step back to compare their section with the rest of the mural. After several weekends, the teams combine their sections into a single image. The finished mural is displayed near the entrance, reminding everyone what ⑤cooperation can achieve.

When you separate paper, plastic, glass, and cans, recycling centers can process each material more ①efficiently. For example, plastic bottles should be rinsed and have their caps removed before being thrown away. Paper soaked with food or oil, however, cannot be recycled and must go into general waste. If items are mixed together ②carefully, finding what you need later becomes difficult. Likewise, mixing recyclables with ordinary trash makes the whole recycling process ③complicated. Many students believe that sorting trash takes too much time, but it actually requires only a few extra ④seconds. Therefore, learning these basic rules now helps you build a habit that ⑤benefits your entire community.

Yuna bought a disposable coffee cup every morning on her way to school. She never thought about where those cups ended up after she threw them away. One day, her science teacher showed the class a photo of a beach covered with plastic cups and bottles. Yuna felt shocked because she realized _______________. That evening, she found an old tumbler hidden in a kitchen drawer and decided to use it every day. At first, carrying the tumbler felt inconvenient, and she often forgot to bring it to school. However, she kept a reminder note on her bag, which helped her remember it each morning. Within a month, using the tumbler had become as natural as brushing her teeth. Her friends noticed the change and asked where she had bought the tumbler.

Minjun used to leave half of his lunch tray full of untouched rice and vegetables every day. Last spring, his class started a campaign called "Clean Plate Day" to reduce food waste. At first, Minjun thought the campaign sounded boring and unnecessary for someone like him. However, his teacher explained that leftover food thrown away every day adds up to a huge amount of waste. She compared uneaten food to _______________. This comparison surprised Minjun because he had never thought about food that way before. He decided to take only what he could finish and to try new vegetables slowly. Within a few weeks, his tray was almost always empty, and he felt proud of the change. Other students noticed his effort and began doing the same thing.

Every day, people throw away piles of used 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 _______________. First, workers collect old newspapers, boxes, and notebooks left in recycling bins. These papers are then soaked in water and turned into soft, 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 removed from the pulp during this stage. The clean pulp is pressed into thin sheets and dried in large machines. Therefore, a wrinkled old newspaper can be reborn as clean white paper. In contrast to throwing paper away, recycling it saves trees and reduces waste.

주어진 문장: Determined not to give up completely, she decided to find out what had gone wrong. Last January, Minji decided that she would run three kilometers every morning before school. ( ① ) For the first week, she woke up early and ran happily, feeling proud of her new habit. ( ② ) However, after a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping, and soon she stopped running altogether. ( ③ ) By February, she felt disappointed and believed she simply lacked willpower. ( ④ ) One evening, her older brother asked her why the plan had failed, and together they looked closely at her daily schedule. ( ⑤ ) They realized that running before sunrise in freezing weather had been too difficult to maintain, so she changed her plan and decided to run after school instead, when the weather was warmer and she had more energy.

주어진 문장: This single mistake meant that workers had to sort the entire pile again by hand. Last Saturday, Jimin visited the recycling center near her apartment with her science class. ① She had expected the place to be dirty and unpleasant, but the center looked clean and well organized. ② 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. ③ Jimin was surprised to learn that mixed trash, thrown into the wrong bin, often ruined an entire batch of recyclables. For example, one greasy pizza box could contaminate a whole pile of clean paper. ④ However, when items were sorted correctly, they could be reused many times, almost like ingredients in a favorite recipe. Walking home, Jimin realized that her small effort at home truly mattered. ⑤ She decided to sort her family's trash more carefully.
