Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. ①Choosing these books is not as simple as picking well-known titles. Teachers must think about a wide range of student interests, not just their own favorites. A good list should also ②including stories from different cultures and different kinds of characters, so that every student can find someone to relate to. Reading level matters too; a book that is too difficult can make a student ③give up on reading altogether, while a book that is too easy may feel boring. Teachers often ask students for feedback after they finish a book, and they slowly ④update the list based on what students actually enjoyed. In the end, the best recommended list is not fixed forever; it keeps changing to match the readers it ⑤is meant to serve.

Building a career portfolio is a great way ①to track your growth throughout high school. A portfolio is simply a collection of your achievements, activities, and reflections. Start by ②choose a format, such as a folder, a notebook, or a digital file. Next, include items ③that show your interests and skills, such as club activities and volunteer work. For each item, write a short reflection explaining what you learned. A well-organized portfolio not only ④helps you apply for programs or scholarships, but it also ⑤helps you understand your own growth over time.

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 to write our goals ①together on one sheet of paper. At first, it felt ②exciting, but after two weeks, I began to feel tired and wanted to quit. Yuna noticed my short replies and ③ignored me instead of just texting. She reminded me why I had chosen this goal in the first place, and her words gave me new ④energy. Because we supported each other through difficult moments, both of us successfully ⑤reached our goals by spring.

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. I worried that combining so many different skill levels would create an ①ugly, mismatched result, since some volunteers had painted for years while others, including me, had never held a large brush before. The project leader solved this by dividing the huge design into small, connected sections and assigning each volunteer a section matched to their ②comfort level, from simple solid-color backgrounds to detailed flowers. Beginners filled in wide open skies, while experienced painters added fine details like veins on leaves or shadows under birds. When the plastic sheets finally came down, the mural looked remarkably ③unified, not despite the many different hands involved, but because each hand had been given a task ④unrelated to what it could do well, which made the ⑤collaboration feel effortless in the end.

Last year our art club received a set of digital drawing tablets, and I assumed switching from paper would feel like cheating, since a screen seemed to remove the physical struggle of real drawing. After a few weeks of practice, though, I noticed the tablet demanded a ①different kind of skill rather than an easier one. Because there is no paper texture to guide the pen, beginners often press too ②lightly or draw shaky lines until their hand adjusts to the smooth glass surface. What the tablet does offer is the freedom to undo a mistake instantly and experiment with colors without wasting a single sheet of paper, which encourages artists to take ③risks they might avoid with a permanent ink pen. Several club members who once avoided painting because they feared ruining their work now try ④bold new styles daily. The tool changed, but the patience and observation required to create something meaningful stayed exactly the ⑤same.

Science labs feel far safer than they actually are, largely because the equipment looks harmless and the experiments are carefully planned by a teacher. This false sense of security leads some students to skip small precautions, such as wearing safety goggles for a "simple" experiment. Chemical reactions, however, do not distinguish between a professional laboratory and a classroom; _______________. Teachers repeatedly emphasize reading each instruction before touching any material, since even a familiar-looking chemical can behave unpredictably when combined with something new.

Food poisoning cases increase sharply during the hot summer months because ___________. To protect yourself, wash your hands before preparing food, cook meat and eggs thoroughly, and keep perishable food in the refrigerator rather than leaving it out at room temperature.

My grandmother keeps a wooden cabinet filled with tiny furniture, each piece no larger than a fingernail, that she has been building for over a decade as a miniature hobby. When I first saw the cabinet, I assumed the appeal was simply how impressively small and precise the pieces looked. Talking with her while she worked, though, I learned that _______________. She once spent three weekends carving a single tiny bookshelf, only to leave two of its shelves deliberately empty, explaining that a completely full room would look staged rather than lived-in. That small decision taught me that miniature craft is not primarily about precision, but about convincingly imagining an ordinary life small enough to fit inside a shoebox.

Starting a business as a teenager comes with both benefits and difficulties. (A) On the other hand, many young entrepreneurs lack enough money or experience to grow their business quickly. (B) Because of this balance, more schools are now offering entrepreneurship clubs to support young business owners. (C) On the positive side, running even a small business teaches skills like budgeting and marketing.

주어진 문장: This activity, called plogging, combines jogging with cleaning up litter from the streets. 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. ① At first, Minji felt embarrassed to pick up garbage in front of other people. ② However, she soon realized that her small actions were making the park cleaner and healthier. ③ 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. ④ 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. ⑤ Minji believes that small habits, practiced together, can change a whole community.
