Students often groan when a classic novel appears on their reading list, ①complains that the language feels old-fashioned and the plot moves too slowly. It is true that classic literature can be harder to read than a modern bestseller ②written in casual, everyday language. Yet this very difficulty is part of why classics remain valuable for young readers today. Working through unfamiliar sentence patterns and vocabulary trains the brain ③to handle complex texts, a skill that transfers directly to other subjects and to standardized tests. Beyond language training, classic novels also explore themes such as jealousy, ambition, and loss that ④have not changed much across centuries. Readers often discover that a character written hundreds of years ago struggles with feelings that still ⑤feel familiar today.

Last month, I ①attended a three-day career camp during summer vacation. The camp offered workshops in fields such as broadcasting, cooking, and environmental science. On the first day, I chose the broadcasting workshop, ②where students practiced writing short news scripts. It was harder than I expected, since staying calm while a camera ③recorded my every move felt strange at first. The instructors, who all had real broadcasting experience, gave detailed feedback rather than simple praise, ④that helped us improve quickly. On the final day, each team ⑤presented a short news segment to the entire camp.

Every spring, the art club at Sejong High School ①create one large mural together instead of individual paintings. The process begins with a session where members suggest themes and vote on their favorite idea. Once a theme is chosen, the club divides into small teams, each ②responsible for one section of the wall. One team sketches the outline while another ③mixes colors to match the design. Communication becomes essential at this stage, since each section must connect smoothly with the ones beside it. If one team paints too dark a shade, the whole picture can look unbalanced. Therefore, members regularly step back ④to compare their section with the rest of the mural. After several weekends, the teams combine their sections into a single image. The finished mural is displayed near the entrance, ⑤reminding everyone what cooperation can achieve.

Summer brings a wide variety of delicious fruits, but many of them ①spoil quickly in the heat. Fruits such as watermelon and melon should be kept in the refrigerator once they are cut, since exposure to warm air ②slows down spoiling. Berries are especially delicate and should not be washed until just before eating, because moisture ③encourages mold to grow. Bananas turn black quickly in cold air, so they are best kept on the counter. Wrapping cut fruit tightly in plastic wrap helps keep it ④fresh longer, giving you a few extra days to enjoy its natural ⑤sweetness.

Jimin joined the school band club in March, but she had never performed before an audience. The club's first concert was only two weeks away, and everyone felt ①nervous. During practice, her hands ②shook whenever the song reached the chorus, and she kept missing the same chord. Instead of laughing at her mistakes, the other members waited patiently and played the section again with her. The drummer, Suho, suggested that she focus on just one part at a time. Slowly, her fingers grew more ③hesitant, and the chord that once felt impossible began to feel natural. The club practiced until the melody sounded ④smooth the night before the concert. When Jimin walked onto the stage, she thought of her friends' patience instead of her fear. The audience clapped ⑤warmly, and she realized her club's support had made the difference.

Every morning, our broadcasting club airs a short news program for the entire school. Last Tuesday, I was chosen to read the weather report for the very first time. My hands were shaking as the red light on the camera turned on. Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly forgot the next line completely. For a few seconds, only silence filled the studio, and I could hear my own heartbeat. My partner Minho, who was sitting beside me, quickly slid the script closer to me. I took a deep breath and calmly continued reading from where I had stopped. Somehow, my voice sounded steadier than I expected, and I finished the report smoothly. After the broadcast ended, several classmates told me they had not even noticed the pause. That morning taught me that _______________.

During the hottest weeks of summer, the city operates free cooling centers for anyone who needs a break from the heat.

Choosing the right club can shape how a student feels about school life. Many first-graders join a club simply because their friends are joining it. However, experts suggest that _______________. A club that matches your interest keeps you motivated during a busy exam period. It also helps to think about how much time each club actually requires. Some clubs meet only once a week, while others practice almost every day. Skill level matters too, since a few clubs accept only experienced students. For this reason, most schools allow a short trial period before a final decision. During this period, new members can attend meetings without officially signing up. In the end, a good club should feel like a comfortable break from academic pressure.
