When choosing a future career, students often face a common question: should I follow what I love, or what I ①being good at? Passion can provide strong motivation, ②pushing a person to practice for hours without feeling tired. However, loving an activity does not always mean a person will become skilled at it professionally. Natural talent can lead to quick success, but without genuine interest, that success may eventually feel ③empty or exhausting. Career experts suggest ④looking for an overlap between the two. Finding this balance takes time and self-reflection, but it often leads to a more ⑤satisfying and sustainable career.

During the sports day relay race, Jun was nervous, and his hands ①was shaking as he waited for the baton. When his turn came, he grabbed the baton but nearly dropped it while turning the first corner. His teammates, ②watching from the field, shouted his name and encouraged him to keep running. Even though Jun felt embarrassed, their cheering gave him confidence ③to focus on the runner ahead of him. As he handed the baton smoothly to the next runner, he realized ④that the team's effort mattered more than his mistake. After the race, his teammates gathered around him and said that his recovery had kept the team in the competition. Jun understood then that teamwork means ⑤supporting each other even after something goes wrong.

For a class project, I ①interviewed a local architect who has worked in the field for over fifteen years. She said she had always loved ②drawing buildings as a child. She explained that architects must balance creativity with practical concerns like safety and cost. When I asked about challenges, she mentioned that clients sometimes ③changes their minds after a design is finished. She also advised students ④to visit construction sites whenever possible, since seeing a real building take shape teaches lessons no classroom can offer. At the end of the interview, she smiled and said that choosing architecture ⑤was the best decision she had ever made.

The student council reminds all club members about the rules for using the club activity room. First, every club must sign up for a time slot on the reservation sheet. Members should arrive on time and leave the room within ten minutes after their activity ends. Because several clubs share the same space, food and drinks are not ①allowed inside the room. Members must also return chairs and tables to their ②original positions before leaving. If equipment is ③broken or missing, the club leader should report it to the teacher. Clubs that ④follow these rules may lose their reservation for the following month. Please also remember to turn off the lights and lock the door carefully. These simple habits will keep the room ⑤clean and available for everyone.

When people have no specific goal, they usually feel ①confused about where to start, and their interest fades within days. For example, a student who simply decides to study harder this year often loses direction because the plan is too ②vague. In contrast, a student who sets a ③clear goal knows exactly what to do every day. A clear goal also makes progress easy to measure, and noticing small improvements keeps people ④encouraged. Setting a specific goal is one of the most ⑤ineffective ways to build lasting motivation.

On January 1st, I decided to become a healthier person and wrote down three goals: exercising three times a week, reading one book every month, and sleeping before midnight. During the first week, I followed my plan without any trouble, but by the second week, I began skipping my morning jogs because I felt too tired after school. That was when I learned that _______________. My friend Mina noticed that I looked discouraged, so she offered to exercise with me after class, and having a partner made the habit much easier to keep. I also moved my book onto my desk instead of my phone, which helped me read a few pages every night. By the end of January, I had finished two books and jogged more than ten times.

On the first day of the club fair, the gym was filled with noise and color. Every table had a banner, and members called out to new first-graders like me. My friend Somin dragged me toward the robotics club, insisting it would suit me. However, the long list of coding projects looked too complicated for a beginner. Just then, I noticed a quiet table where students were sketching posters together. A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club welcomed complete beginners. She showed me a sketchbook filled with simple drawings by first-year members. Her gentle voice made me feel relaxed for the first time that day. Without much thought, I wrote my name on the sign-up sheet before leaving. Walking out of the gym, I finally felt _______________.

Whole, uncut melons, however, can be stored at room temperature until you are ready to eat them. Summer brings a wide variety of delicious fruits, but many of them spoil quickly in the heat. ( ① ) Knowing how to store fruit properly can help you avoid waste and enjoy fresher flavors. ( ② ) Fruits such as watermelon and melon should be kept in the refrigerator once they are cut, since exposure to warm air speeds up spoiling. ( ③ ) Berries are especially delicate and should not be washed until just before eating, because moisture encourages mold to grow. ( ④ ) Bananas, on the other hand, turn black quickly in cold air, so they are best kept on the counter. ( ⑤ ) Wrapping cut fruit tightly in plastic wrap also helps keep it fresh longer.
