Last January, Minji ①deciding that she would run three kilometers every morning before school. For the first week, she woke up early and ②ran happily, feeling proud of her new habit. However, after a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping, and soon she stopped running altogether. One evening, her older brother asked her why the plan ③had failed, and together they looked closely at her daily schedule. They realized that running before sunrise in freezing weather ④had been too difficult to maintain. So Minji changed her plan and decided ⑤to run after school instead, when the weather was warmer.

Many students confuse the student council with school clubs. In fact, the two groups serve very different purposes. The student council is an official body ①that represents the whole school. It manages shared issues such as rules, events, and communication with teachers. For example, council members often organize the school festival. They also collect opinions from each class ②before making decisions. A club, in contrast, is a small group formed around one shared ③interests, such as music or art. While the council must consider the needs of every student, a club can focus narrowly on what its own members ④enjoy. Therefore, joining the council usually requires an election, whereas joining a club simply requires genuine interest. Some students eventually do both, ⑤using the council to build leadership skills and a club to develop a personal passion.

Whenever someone learns that I spend hours drawing comics that almost nobody else ever sees, they usually ask why I ①bothering, since the work will never be published or praised by a large audience. For a long time, I struggled to answer that question honestly, ②assuming that art only counted as worthwhile once other people recognized it. Watching my younger brother build enormous, pointless block towers purely for the joy of knocking them down, though, ③helped me understand something I had been missing. He never once asked whether his tower was good; he simply needed to build the version of it that existed in his head before he could feel satisfied. Creating something, I now believe, often serves the creator first, ④giving shape to a feeling or idea that would otherwise stay vague and unexpressed. Whether or not anyone else ever sees the result, that private act of shaping an idea into something real still seems ⑤to matter enormously.

On the first day of winter break, my friend Yuna and I sat in a cafe and talked about the new year ahead. Instead of making separate plans, we decided to write our goals ①together on one sheet of paper. At first, it felt ②exciting, but after two weeks, I began to feel tired and wanted to quit. Yuna noticed my short replies and ③ignored me instead of just texting. She reminded me why I had chosen this goal in the first place, and her words gave me new ④energy. Because we supported each other through difficult moments, both of us successfully ⑤reached our goals by spring.

Many students who reach their goals share one habit: they picture the goal ①clearly before they even start working. This process, called visualization, means imagining a goal in detail, often by drawing pictures or writing specific descriptions. For example, a student who dreams of studying abroad might make a board filled with photos of a foreign campus. Seeing these images every day keeps the goal ②vague in mind and reminds the student why the effort matters. Visualization also helps people ③notice small opportunities they might otherwise miss, since the brain naturally pays attention to things connected to personal goals. In addition, picturing success in advance can ④lower anxiety, because the mind grows ⑤familiar with the process instead of fearing an unknown outcome.

Attention, all students! Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium, where ___________. Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props to explain the goal clearly. Students who wish to participate must submit a short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd.

On January 1st, I decided to become a healthier person and wrote down three goals: exercising three times a week, reading one book every month, and sleeping before midnight. During the first week, I followed my plan without any trouble, but by the second week, I began skipping my morning jogs because I felt too tired after school. That was when I learned that _______________. My friend Mina noticed that I looked discouraged, so she offered to exercise with me after class, and having a partner made the habit much easier to keep. I also moved my book onto my desk instead of my phone, which helped me read a few pages every night. By the end of January, I had finished two books and jogged more than ten times.

The Hopeful Start Workshop offers a simple way for students to plan their new year goals. (A) First, the workshop will run from two to four in the afternoon on January 10th at the Green Hill Community Center. (B) During the session, participants will learn how to write specific, measurable goals and break them into small weekly steps. (C) Finally, students who wish to join should register online or call the front desk before January 8th, since seats are limited to thirty people.

주어진 문장: This same routine has continued every week since the project began in March. The science club at Hanul High School is running a project called "Grow Light." It tests how different colors of light affect plant growth. ( ① ) Each week, members place identical bean sprouts under red, blue, and white light and record their height. ( ② ) At first, many students expected the white light to produce the tallest plants. ( ③ ) However, the results showed that plants under red light grew noticeably faster than the others. ( ④ ) The club's advisor explained this by comparing light to food. Just as people need certain nutrients to grow strong, plants absorb certain colors of light more efficiently than others. ( ⑤ ) To make the data reliable, students repeat each trial three times and calculate the average. They also keep a shared notebook, recording sunlight, watering time, and temperature. Next month, the club plans to present these findings at the school science fair.

Not everyone in the neighborhood, however, shared that reaction. Walking through the old industrial district downtown, I noticed that a gray concrete wall had been transformed overnight into a wild swirl of color, letters, and cartoon figures. ( ① ) Some residents complained to the city office, calling it vandalism and demanding that workers paint over it immediately. ( ② ) Others argued that the same wall had been an ugly, forgotten eyesore for years, and that the graffiti artist had simply given it a voice no one else bothered to give it. ( ③ ) This disagreement reveals a tension at the heart of street art: without permission, even a skillful and thoughtful piece can be labeled a crime, yet many cities now invite graffiti artists to paint designated walls legally, hoping to channel that same creative energy into something the whole neighborhood can enjoy. ( ④ ) The line between vandalism and art, it seems, often depends less on the paint itself than on who gave permission to use the wall. ( ⑤ )
