Building a reading habit does not usually start with a big decision to read more. It often starts with very ①small, easy steps. Some students keep a book in their bag so that they always have something to read while waiting for a bus. Others choose a fixed time each day, like right before bed, and read for just ten minutes. These small routines work because they ②increase the effort needed to begin. Once a student sits down and opens a book, continuing to read the next page feels much ③easier than the first step of starting. Experts also suggest setting a very ④low daily goal, such as one page, instead of a strict page count that feels like homework. Over weeks, these tiny actions add up, and reading slowly becomes something the student simply does, rather than something the student has to ⑤force.

Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know what these marks mean. Each symbol _______________. For instance, the number one usually stands for clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. Reading these marks is similar to reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Without checking the label, you might buy something unhealthy by mistake. Likewise, throwing 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 be sorted separately. Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more effective for everyone involved.

Starting a new diary or planner in January is easy, but keeping it useful all year is harder. This guide offers simple tips for using a planner to manage your New Year goals: ___________. First, write one clear goal at the top of each month so you always remember your main target. Second, break that goal into small weekly tasks instead of writing vague plans. Third, check your planner every morning and mark tasks as done when you finish them, and review your notes every Sunday. Finally, do not worry if you skip a day, since staying consistent matters more than being perfect.

Have you ever wondered why some people stay motivated while others give up quickly? The answer often lies in ___________. When people have no specific goal, they usually feel confused 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 vague. 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. This clarity creates strong motivation because the brain naturally focuses on a clear target. Setting a specific goal is one of the most effective ways to build lasting motivation.

Dear residents, this notice explains how to use our apartment recycling area correctly. The recycling area, located behind the main entrance, is open every day from six to ten in the evening. First, _______________ before dropping them off. Boxes should be flattened, and bottles should be emptied, because dirty items are hard to recycle. However, please do not leave large furniture or electronics in this area at any time. Instead, contact the management office to arrange a separate pickup for those bulky items. For example, broken chairs and old refrigerators require a special sticker before collection. In contrast to ordinary trash, recyclable materials must never be mixed together in one bag. Following these simple rules keeps our shared space tidy for every family.

Every spring, the volunteer club at our school introduces new members to its most popular project: the nursing home visit program. (A) For example, one member always brings her ukulele and plays simple songs that the residents remember from their youth. (B) As a result, both the students and the elderly residents look forward to these visits every month. (C) During each visit, members are encouraged to bring a small talent or hobby to share with the residents.

(B) After only a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping and eventually gave up on running altogether. (C) So she decided to run after school instead, and this small change helped her stick to her plan and grow stronger.

주어진 문장: This confusion sometimes leads them to join an activity that does not match what they are really looking for. Many students confuse the student council with school clubs. ( ① ) In fact, the two groups serve very different purposes. ( ② ) The student council is an official body that represents the whole school. It manages shared issues such as rules, events, and communication with teachers. ( ③ ) For example, council members often organize the school festival. They also collect opinions from each class before making decisions. ( ④ ) 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 narrowly on what its own members enjoy. ( ⑤ ) Therefore, joining the council usually requires an election, whereas joining a club simply requires genuine interest. Some students eventually do both, using the council to build leadership skills and a club to develop a personal passion.

주어진 문장: In contrast, turning off the tap during that time saves a surprising amount of water each day. Water looks endless when it flows from the tap every morning. ① However, clean water is actually a limited resource that we must protect carefully. Many families waste water without even noticing it in their daily routine. For example, leaving the tap running while brushing your teeth can waste several liters of water. ② Taking a shorter shower is another easy habit that reduces water use significantly. ③ Fixing a leaking faucet, which many people ignore, can also save hundreds of liters every month. ④ Saving water is like keeping money in a savings account for the future. Therefore, small changes in our daily habits, practiced by every family, can protect this precious resource. ⑤ Everyone who cares about the environment should start saving water today.

The change is small, but it asks students to do something quite different. Many English teachers now ask students to write a short review after finishing a book, rather than simply filling out a reading log. ( ① ) At first, students often complain that summarizing a plot is enough work already, so writing an opinion on top of that feels unnecessary. ( ② ) However, a review requires something a summary does not: a clear judgment supported by specific evidence from the text. ( ③ ) To defend an opinion about a character or a theme, students must return to the book and find exact passages that support their view. ( ④ ) This process forces readers to notice details they might have skipped during a first, quick reading. ( ⑤ ) Teachers who assign reviews regularly report that their students remember plot details more accurately and discuss characters' motivations more confidently than students who only summarize, and writing a review turns out to be a way of reading more carefully in the first place.
