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.

For the first week, she woke up early and ran ①happily, feeling proud of her new habit. However, after a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping, and soon she stopped running altogether, which made her feel ②confident about her progress. By February, she felt disappointed and believed she simply lacked willpower. They realized that running before sunrise in freezing weather had been too ③difficult to maintain. So Minji changed her plan and decided to run after school instead, when the weather was ④warmer and she had more energy. She kept running three times a week, and by spring, she had grown much stronger and more ⑤positive.

For instance, the number one usually stands for ①clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. Without checking the label, you might buy something ②unhealthy by mistake. Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a ③disposable item straight to a landfill. Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more ④effective for everyone ⑤involved.

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.

Last New Year's Day, I wrote three goals in my diary: reading more books, exercising regularly, and saving money for a bicycle. Today, exactly one year later, I opened that old page and ①frowned at how much had changed. I did not finish all twelve books I had planned, but I read six, which was still more than the year before. My exercise habit became the biggest ②surprise, since I now run almost every morning without feeling forced. Saving money was ③harder than I expected, since unexpected expenses kept appearing. Still, I saved enough for half of the bicycle, and I felt quite ④proud of that progress. Looking back, I realized that steady effort matters more than reaching every goal exactly as planned, and I stayed ⑤hopeful about what the next year might bring.

Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium. Every student is ①invited to share one personal goal for this year in front of classmates and teachers. Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props to explain the goal ②clearly. Students who wish to participate must submit a ③short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd. Prizes will be given for the most ④creative goal and the most inspiring presentation, chosen by a panel of teachers. Participation is completely ⑤mandatory, so students who prefer not to present are still welcome to attend and watch.

Many students give up on their New Year goals because the goals feel too ①big to handle. A more effective approach is to break a large goal into ②smaller, manageable steps. Once you complete that small step, move on to the next one, and gradually build toward the bigger goal. This method works because small tasks feel ③impossible, and completing them gives a sense of success. That feeling of success encourages you to keep going. Over time, small steps add up to real progress, like bricks eventually forming a ④strong wall. Starting small is often the ⑤smartest way to reach a big dream.

Sorting your trash correctly is _______________. When you separate paper, plastic, glass, and cans, recycling centers can process each material more efficiently. For example, plastic bottles should be rinsed and have their caps removed before being thrown away. Paper soaked with food or oil, however, cannot be recycled and must go into general waste. Sorting garbage is similar to organizing a closet, where each type of clothing has its own shelf. If items are mixed together carelessly, finding what you need later becomes difficult. Likewise, mixing recyclables with ordinary trash makes the whole recycling process complicated. Many students believe that sorting trash takes too much time, but it actually requires only a few extra seconds. Therefore, learning these basic rules now helps you build a habit that benefits your entire community.

Are you curious about capturing special moments around our school? The Photography Club is now looking for new members for this semester. (A) We meet every Wednesday afternoon in Room 204, right after regular classes end. No experience is required, since senior members always teach the basics of using a camera. (B) Each month, we choose a simple theme and take pictures together around the campus. At the end of the semester, we hold a small exhibition to share our favorite photos. (C) Members are also expected to bring their own camera or smartphone to every meeting. If you enjoy taking pictures or want to try something new, please visit our booth this Friday. Feel free to ask any current member if you have questions about joining.

No two students in the class were given exactly the same situation to design for. In our elective fashion design class, the first assignment was not to sketch a beautiful outfit but to design clothing for a specific, unusual situation, such as a rainy commute or a wheelchair user's daily routine. ( ① ) I initially found the assignment strange, since I had imagined fashion design as primarily about appearance rather than practical problem-solving. ( ② ) Researching my chosen situation, a delivery worker who bikes through the city in all weather, changed how I approached the project entirely. ( ③ ) I realized that pockets needed to be reachable while cycling, that bright colors could improve visibility to drivers at night, and that waterproof fabric mattered more than any decorative detail I had originally planned. ( ④ ) My final design looked far simpler than the elaborate sketches some classmates produced, yet our teacher praised it precisely because every choice solved a real problem the wearer would actually face.
