Whenever people discuss the future of reading, one debate never ①seem to end: e-books or paper books? Supporters of e-books point out that a single device can hold thousands of titles, which ②makes traveling with a full library incredibly light. Readers can also change the font size, look up a word instantly, and carry their entire collection in one bag. Fans of paper books, however, argue that something important ③is lost on a screen. Many readers say they remember a paper book's plot more clearly, perhaps because they recall where a scene ④appeared on the page. Screens also invite distraction, since a single notification can pull a reader away from the story in seconds. Interestingly, several recent surveys suggest that most young readers do not choose one format forever. Instead, they switch between paper and digital depending on the situation, ⑤treating the debate less as a contest and more as a matter of convenience.

My cousin, who has never taken a single music lesson, recently ①used a composing app on her phone to write a short song for her friend's birthday video. Watching her work, I realized the app ②handled much of the technical difficulty that used to stop beginners from composing at all, automatically keeping her melody in key and ③suggesting chords that matched the mood she selected. What the app could not do, however, was decide which four notes actually felt right for the opening line, or when a pause said more than another note would have. She spent nearly an hour ④adjusting a single short phrase until it matched the feeling she wanted to capture, deleting and replaying it dozens of times. Watching her patient trial and error, I understood that these tools lower the technical barrier to making music, but they do not remove the very human task of ⑤decide what a piece of music is actually trying to say.

Before a single line of dialogue is written for many animated shows, a character designer has already spent weeks deciding how that character should look, move, and be recognized at a glance. A visiting illustrator who spoke at our school explained that a truly successful design should be ①identifiable even as a plain black silhouette, since audiences often ②ignore a character's outline before they notice any facial detail. She showed us early sketches of a now-famous cartoon hero, in which the same personality had been tested through dozens of different body shapes, from short and round to tall and angular, before the final version was ③chosen. Small choices, she added, carry surprising weight: rounded shapes tend to feel friendly and safe, while sharp angles suggest ④danger or power, even to viewers who have never studied design. I left the talk realizing that a character's personality is communicated through its silhouette long before it ever speaks a single ⑤word.

Attention, students and teachers! Our school is starting a new campaign called 'Bring Your Own Bag.' Starting next Monday, the school store will no longer offer free plastic bags to customers. Instead, we ①encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home. Plastic bags, which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be used again and again for many years. Therefore, using a reusable bag is a simple habit that ②protects sea animals and ③increases pollution. For example, students who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a ④reward. However, students who forget their bags may still purchase a paper bag for a small fee. We hope every student will join this easy and meaningful campaign. Thank you for helping our school become ⑤greener.

When an image-generating program produced a strikingly detailed painting in the exact style of a well-known illustrator within seconds, my art club spent an entire meeting ①ignoring what it actually meant for artists. Some members felt excited, imagining the software as a helpful tool that could speed up brainstorming or generate quick backgrounds for their comics. Others worried that the program had been trained on thousands of real illustrations scraped from the internet without the original artists' ②permission, meaning the tool's impressive results were quietly built on other people's ③uncredited labor. A few pointed out that the final image, however skillful it looked, reflected no personal memory, struggle, or ④intention, only patterns learned from existing pictures. The debate never reached a clear conclusion, but it made me realize that questions about creativity now involve not just how a picture looks, but where it actually came from and who deserves ⑤credit for it.

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.

When someone's heart suddenly stops beating, the brain begins to suffer damage within minutes unless blood keeps circulating. Studies show that a person who receives CPR immediately from someone nearby is far more likely to ①survive than one who waits for professional help to arrive. Despite this, many people ②hesitate to start chest compressions, worried that they might break a rib or make the situation worse. Modern CPR training has also been ③simplified, focusing on firm, rhythmic chest compressions rather than the more complicated combination of breaths and compressions once required, making the skill ④easier for ordinary students to learn and remember under pressure. For this reason, many schools now ⑤exclude CPR training as a standard part of health education.

Our film club spent an entire semester making a five-minute short film, and I was startled to learn just how little of that time was actually spent filming. We wrote and rewrote the script for nearly a month, then spent another two weeks drawing simple storyboards to plan every camera angle before a single scene was recorded. Filming itself took only two Saturday afternoons, yet editing the footage afterward consumed nearly six additional weeks, as we combed through hours of raw clips to choose the handful of seconds that actually made it into the final version. Our advisor warned us early on that amateur filmmakers usually underestimate editing the most, assuming that a good script and decent camera work will carry a film on their own. By the time our short film premiered at the school festival, I understood that _______________.

Our photography club meets every Thursday, and our advisor always repeats the same instruction before we leave campus: _______________. At first this rule frustrated me, since I had joined the club specifically to take pictures, not to stand around empty-handed. Over time, though, I noticed that the members who followed her advice most closely tended to bring back the most interesting photographs. A camera, our advisor explained, cannot teach a person what is worth noticing; it can only record what the photographer has already decided matters. Learning to look carefully, it turns out, is a skill that develops long before a finger ever touches the shutter button.

Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. This event aims to restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. Volunteers will meet at the community center at nine in the morning and travel together by bus. Please wear old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting dirty during the activity. _______________. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig proper holes without harming the tree roots. In contrast, planting too shallowly often causes young trees to die within a few months. Therefore, careful instructions must be followed closely by every volunteer. Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for free. Students interested in joining should register online before next Wednesday.
