Attention all club leaders: applications for the club budget are now open. If your club wants support for materials, events, or competitions, please follow the steps below. First, download the budget request form from the school website and ①fill in your club's name, purpose, and requested amount. Second, attach a short plan ②explaining how the money will be used, since forms without a clear plan will not be reviewed. Third, submit the completed form to the teacher in charge of student activities by August 14th. Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted. Once submitted, each request will be reviewed by the budget committee, ③which meets every Friday. Approved clubs will receive their funds within two weeks, and results ④will be posted on the club bulletin board. Please contact Mr. Han in the activities office if you ⑤has any questions.

Building a reading habit does not usually start with a big decision ①to read more. It often starts with very small, easy steps. Some students keep a book in their bag so that they always ②have 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 lower the effort ③needed to begin. Once a student sits down and opens a book, ④continuing to read the next page feels much easier than the first step of starting. Experts also suggest setting a very low daily goal, such as one page, instead of a strict page count that ⑤feel like homework.

Last Saturday, Jimin visited the recycling center near her apartment with her science class. She ①had expected the place to be dirty and unpleasant, but the center looked clean and well organized. A worker named Mr. Park guided the students through each area, ②explaining how bottles, cans, and paper were sorted. He showed them a machine ③that crushed plastic bottles into small pieces before they were sent to factories. Jimin was surprised to learn that mixed trash, ④thrown into the wrong bin, often ruined an entire batch of recyclables. For example, one greasy pizza box could contaminate a whole pile of clean paper. However, when items were sorted correctly, they could be reused many times, almost like ingredients in a favorite recipe. ⑤Walked home, Jimin realized that her small effort at home truly mattered.

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. I initially found the assignment ①strange, since I had imagined fashion design as primarily about appearance rather than practical problem-solving. Researching my chosen situation, a delivery worker who bikes through the city in all weather, changed how I approached the project entirely. I realized that pockets needed to be ②reachable 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. My final design looked far ③simpler than the elaborate sketches some classmates produced, yet our teacher praised it precisely because every choice ④ignored a real problem the wearer would actually face. I finished the unit understanding that thoughtful design often begins with a person's ⑤needs, not with a striking image.

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. This activity, called plogging, combines jogging with cleaning up litter from the streets. At first, Minji felt ①embarrassed to pick up garbage in front of other people. However, she soon realized that her small actions were making the park ②cleaner and healthier. 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. Minji's legs grew ③tired, but her heart felt ④proud after every session. Now, she encourages her friends, who used to tease her, to join the club as well. Minji believes that small habits, practiced together, can ⑤destroy a whole community.

The city government has launched a summer energy-saving campaign because ___________. As air conditioners run constantly, power demand rises sharply and can strain the electricity grid. To prevent blackouts, residents are asked to set air conditioners no lower than twenty-six degrees Celsius and turn off unused electronics.

The city operates free cooling centers to help residents cope with extreme summer heat. (A) Most locations are open from nine in the morning until six in the evening, seven days a week. (B) These centers, located in community halls and libraries, offer air-conditioned spaces free of charge. (C) Since there is no cost and no reservation is required, residents are encouraged to visit whenever needed.

Interviewing people who already work in a field you are interested in can be very helpful. (A) They can also share honest advice about the challenges of the job, which you rarely find in books. (B) Such interviews let you hear firsthand stories about what a career is really like. (C) For this reason, many career guidance classes now include interview projects as part of their curriculum.

This weekly ritual might sound unusual to anyone who has only ever read a novel alone. Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in the corner of a quiet cafe, coffee cups in hand, ready to talk about a book they have all just finished. ( ① ) This is a book club, and its members insist that reading the same novel together changes the experience completely. ( ② ) Alone, a reader usually forms one interpretation and rarely questions it again. ( ③ ) In a group, however, one member's small comment about a minor character can suddenly change how everyone else understood the whole story. ( ④ ) Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance pushes them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through. ( ⑤ ) Perhaps the greatest benefit is social rather than literary: strangers from very different backgrounds discover that they share the same doubts, laughter, and surprises over the very same pages.

This is because the temperature inside a car can rise to a dangerous level within minutes. Summer heat can be just as dangerous for pets as it is for people. ( ① ) First, always provide plenty of fresh water, and change it several times a day to keep it cool. ( ② ) Second, avoid walking your dog during the hottest hours, since hot pavement can burn sensitive paws. ( ③ ) Make sure your pet has access to a shaded or air-conditioned area at all times. ( ④ ) If your pet seems unusually tired or refuses to move, contact a veterinarian right away. Most importantly, never leave a pet alone in a parked car, even for a few minutes. ( ⑤ ) Following these guidelines will help your pet stay safe this summer.
