Every January, our school invites a graduate ①to share advice, and last week a former student named Minho visited our class. Three years ago, he was a shy sophomore ②who dreamed of becoming a science teacher but doubted his own grades. Instead of ③studying everything at once, he focused on one weak subject each month and asked his teachers for extra help. He also found a study partner ④shared the same goal, and they checked each other's progress every week. Today, Minho is studying to become a science teacher at university, ⑤proving that steady effort truly pays off.

Last summer, I ①worked part-time at a small coffee shop near my house. At first, I only wanted to earn some spending money, but the job ②taught me far more than that. I learned how to stay calm during busy hours when orders ③piled up quickly. One day, a customer complained loudly about a mistake in her order. Instead of ④argue, I apologized and quickly made a new drink for her. She left with a smile, and my manager praised my patience ⑤afterward.

Accidents rarely wait for a doctor ①to be nearby, which is why basic first aid knowledge can make a critical difference in the first few minutes after an injury occurs. Many students assume that only professionals should touch an injured person, ②fearing that any mistake might make things worse. In reality, a few simple actions, such as applying steady pressure to a bleeding wound or keeping an unconscious person's airway clear, can prevent a minor injury from ③becoming a life-threatening one. Waiting passively for an ambulance, rather than doing anything at all, ④are often the more dangerous choice, since every minute without basic care allows a treatable injury to worsen. Of course, first aid is never a substitute for professional medical treatment, and it ⑤should never replace an emergency call.

Many students set a New Year goal to build a new habit. However, most people give up within two weeks because the habit still feels ①easy. Researchers found that, on average, a new habit takes about sixty-six days to feel automatic. During the first few weeks, your brain still treats the activity as something ②new, so you must rely on willpower. Around the middle of this period, the behavior becomes ③easier because your brain starts to expect it at a certain time each day. By the end, you no longer need to force yourself, since the action feels ④natural and comfortable. This is why experts suggest repeating a small action every day, rather than aiming for a perfect performance ⑤right away.

The Greenfield Public Library will offer a variety of special programs for students during summer vacation. The reading club encourages children to read at least one book per week and ①hide their thoughts from others. The writing workshop helps older students ②improve their essay skills. All programs are free, but registration is required in advance because space is ③limited. Interested students should sign up at the front desk or through the library's website. Materials such as notebooks and pencils will be provided for ④every session, so students can make the most of their ⑤vacation.

Every spring, our school holds an art exhibition in the main hallway, and this year I finally submitted a painting of my own. For weeks, I compared my work to my classmates' drawings and felt sure that mine was not good enough to hang beside theirs. My art teacher noticed my hesitation and said something I did not expect: _______________. On the morning the paintings went up, I walked past dozens of styles, from careful realistic portraits to messy, colorful abstractions, and none of them looked like mine. Standing in that crowded hallway, I finally understood that the exhibition's real purpose was not to rank the paintings, but to let students discover how many different perspectives could exist in a single shared space.

On the first day of winter break, my friend Yuna and I sat in a cafe and talked about the new year ahead. Instead of making separate plans, we decided that ___________. Yuna wanted to improve her English speaking, while I wanted to wake up earlier every morning, and we agreed to text each other every night to report what we had done that day.

Every summer, lifeguards repeat the same warnings to swimmers, yet drowning remains one of the most common causes of accidental death among teenagers. (A) Rip currents present a particularly deceptive threat, since the water's surface can appear calm even while a powerful current pulls a swimmer steadily away from shore. (B) Experts advise that anyone caught in such a current should swim parallel to the beach rather than struggling directly against it, since fighting the current head-on quickly exhausts even a strong swimmer. (C) Part of the problem is that danger in water rarely looks dramatic, since a swimmer in trouble often makes little noise and shows no obvious signs of panic.

Sunny Beach Rentals makes it easy for visitors to enjoy the beach without buying their own gear. (A) To rent equipment, visitors simply need to show identification and pay a small refundable deposit. (B) Customers can choose from beach umbrellas, folding chairs, snorkeling gear, paddleboards, and life jackets. (C) Renters must return all items by six in the evening, since the shop closes shortly after sunset.

This is because undercooked meat, fish, and eggs can carry harmful bacteria that cause illness. Food poisoning cases increase sharply during the hot summer months, so make sure that meat, fish, and eggs are cooked thoroughly before eating. ( ① ) High temperatures allow bacteria to grow quickly in food that is not stored properly. ( ② ) To protect yourself, always wash your hands with soap before preparing food. ( ③ ) Keep perishable food in the refrigerator, and never leave it out at room temperature for more than two hours. ( ④ ) It is also wise to use separate cutting boards for raw meat and vegetables. ( ⑤ ) If you experience symptoms such as stomach pain or vomiting, seek medical help promptly.
