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

When temperatures drop below freezing overnight, an invisible layer of black ice can form on sidewalks ①that look perfectly dry, catching even careful walkers off guard. Unlike a visibly icy patch, black ice reflects almost no light and blends into ordinary pavement, which is why so many falls happen on stretches that pedestrians ②would never suspect. Orthopedic doctors report a sharp rise in wrist and hip injuries every winter, most of them ③causing not by dramatic slips on icy hills but by a single unexpected step near a bus stop or a doorway. Walking with shorter, flatter steps and keeping the hands free rather than in pockets can ④help a person regain balance quickly if a foot suddenly slides. Choosing shoes with textured rubber soles rather than smooth ones also makes a difference, since even a small increase in grip can ⑤prevent a fall before it begins.

Last Saturday, the temperature outside reached almost thirty-eight degrees, so my family ①decided to stay indoors for the entire day. In the morning, we visited a nearby indoor climbing gym, ②where I learned some basic climbing techniques from an instructor. After lunch, we went to a small museum that ③having a special exhibition about ocean animals. My younger brother was especially excited ④to see the huge whale model hanging from the ceiling. In the afternoon, we played board games at a cafe ⑤that offered dozens of different games to choose from.

Our school's volunteer club, Helping Hands, tries to make small acts of kindness feel ①natural. Each month, students visit a nearby nursing home and spend an afternoon talking with elderly residents. For example, they read newspapers aloud or just listen to old stories from the residents. In addition, members ②collect used books and toys from classmates and donate them to a community center downtown. Some students feel ③confident before their first visit, unsure of what to say to strangers. However, most discover that a ④warm smile works better than perfect words. Therefore, the club's real goal is not just finishing hours for a report card. Instead, it teaches members that caring for others grows into a ⑤lasting habit, like watering a plant daily. By the end of the year, many students say the club changed how they see their community.

A goal should be specific, meaning you describe exactly what you want to do instead of using ①vague words. It should also be measurable, so you can check your progress with clear numbers such as pages read or minutes exercised. Being achievable means the goal ②fits your current situation and is not too difficult to reach. A relevant goal truly ③matters to your life and interests, and a time-bound goal has a clear deadline that pushes you to take action instead of waiting. Setting goals this way turns vague wishes into ④unclear plans, which are much ⑤easier to follow through every single day.

Walking down a crowded street while staring at a phone screen has become such a common sight that it barely draws attention anymore, even though the habit turns a pedestrian into one of the ①most alert people on the sidewalk. Researchers who study attention describe this as a kind of tunnel vision: a person absorbed in a text message or a video processes only a ②narrow slice of the surrounding environment, filtering out approaching cars, uneven pavement, and other pedestrians almost entirely. What makes this danger especially difficult to address is that pedestrians ③rarely recognize the risk in the moment; unlike distracted driving, which is widely ④condemned, glancing at a phone while crossing the street still feels like a ⑤harmless habit to most people who do it every day.

Many English teachers now ask students to write a short review after finishing a book, rather than simply filling out a reading log. At first, students often complain that summarizing a plot is enough work already. However, a review requires something a summary does not: a clear judgment supported by specific evidence from the text. To defend an opinion about a character or a theme, _______________. 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.

Setting a career plan early in high school offers several important benefits. First, having a general direction helps students choose subjects and activities that support their goals. Second, a plan gives students a sense of purpose, which can make schoolwork feel more meaningful. However, an effective career plan should remain flexible, since interests and circumstances often change during the teenage years. Career counselors therefore recommend reviewing a plan every few months and adjusting it based on new experiences. In this way, careful planning does not limit a student's future; instead, it provides ___________.

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 identifiable even as a plain black silhouette, since audiences often notice 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 chosen. Small choices, she added, carry surprising weight: rounded shapes tend to feel friendly and safe, while sharp angles suggest danger or power, even to viewers who have never studied design. I left the talk realizing that _______________.

주어진 문장: Relieved, he watched his teammates continue the race with newfound energy.
