Our school is starting a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign ①to help everyone begin the year with clear direction. During the first week of January, every student will receive a small goal card ②given by the homeroom teacher. On this card, write one personal goal for the new year, along with two simple steps ③to achieve it. After completing your card, submit it to your homeroom teacher, and all goal cards ④will be displayed on the bulletin board outside the library. Students who show clear progress toward their goals will ⑤receiving a small prize during the morning assembly.

Writing a personal statement can feel overwhelming, but a few simple strategies ①make the process easier. First, avoid ②to list your achievements simply; instead, explain what each experience taught you and how it shaped your goals. Second, use specific examples rather than vague statements, since details make your story more ③convincing and memorable. Third, keep your tone honest and natural, because reviewers can easily notice writing ④that sounds forced or overly formal. Finally, always proofread carefully, since small errors can ⑤distract readers from an otherwise strong statement.

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.

Audiobooks have grown rapidly in popularity over the past several years, and many commuters now listen to novels instead of reading printed pages. Publishers report that audiobook sales continue to rise every year, while the growth of printed book sales has ①slowed. Part of the appeal is ②convenience, since listeners can enjoy a story while driving, exercising, or doing housework. Some traditional readers argue that listening to a book is not the same as truly reading it, because the listener does not process written words directly. Researchers who study this question have found that comprehension scores for listeners and readers are usually very ③similar, as long as the material is not too complex. The biggest difference tends to appear with ④dense, technical material, which is often easier to follow in print because readers can pause and reread difficult sentences at will. For most everyday reading, however, the debate over audiobooks may matter less than simply finding a format that keeps people ⑤disengaged with stories.

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.

Last spring, Minji joined a new club at her school called the Green Runners. Every Saturday morning, the members jog around the neighborhood park while picking up trash. This activity, called plogging, combines jogging with cleaning up litter from the streets. At first, Minji felt embarrassed to pick up garbage in front of other people. However, _______________. For example, the group collected more than twenty bags of trash during their first month together. Picking up litter while running is like turning an ordinary workout into a meaningful mission. Minji's legs grew tired, but her heart felt proud after every session. Now, she encourages her friends, who used to tease her, to join the club as well. Minji believes that small habits, practiced together, can change a whole community.

Camping during summer vacation can be a wonderful experience if you prepare properly.

Last summer, our neighborhood association invited students to help paint a mural on the long wall beside the community center, and nearly forty volunteers with completely different painting abilities showed up on the first day. (A) When the plastic sheets finally came down, the mural looked remarkably unified, not despite the many different hands involved, but because each hand had been given a task suited to what it could do well. (B) The project leader solved this by dividing the huge design into small, connected sections and assigning each volunteer a section matched to their comfort level, from simple solid-color backgrounds to detailed flowers. (C) I worried that combining so many different skill levels would create an ugly, mismatched result, since some volunteers had painted for years while others, including me, had never held a large brush before.

Whenever someone learns that I spend hours drawing comics that almost nobody else ever sees, they usually ask why I bother, since the work will never be published or praised by a large audience. (A) Creating something, I now believe, often serves the creator first, giving shape to a feeling or idea that would otherwise stay vague and unexpressed. (B) For a long time, I struggled to answer that question honestly, assuming that art only counted as worthwhile once other people recognized it. (C) Watching my younger brother build enormous, pointless block towers purely for the joy of knocking them down, though, helped me understand something I had been missing.
