The city government has launched a summer energy-saving campaign ①to reduce electricity use during the hottest months. As air conditioners run constantly, power demand ②rises sharply and can strain the electricity grid. Residents are asked ③setting air conditioners no lower than twenty-six degrees Celsius. Turning off lights and unplugging unused electronics can also make a noticeable ④difference. Families ⑤who reduce their electricity use by more than ten percent will receive a discount.

Summer vacation is a great time ①go camping with family or friends. First, pack enough water and snacks, since staying hydrated and energized ②is essential in hot weather. Second, bring sunscreen and insect repellent ③to protect your skin from sunburn and bug bites. In addition, check the weather forecast before you leave, and choose a campsite ④that is safe from flooding. Make sure your tent is set up on flat, dry ground away from trees ⑤that could fall in strong wind.

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 smiled at how much ①has changed. I did not finish all twelve books I had planned, but I read six, ②which was still more than the year before. Saving money was harder than I expected, since unexpected expenses ③kept appearing. My exercise habit became the biggest surprise, and I now run almost every morning without ④feeling forced. Looking back, I realized that progress does not always match the original plan, and what matters more is that I kept trying, adjusted my methods, and ⑤to learn something new about myself along the way.

Every light ①left on in an empty room wastes electricity that could have powered something useful elsewhere. For example, a single classroom light left on overnight can waste enough energy ②to charge dozens of phones. This habit is similar to ③leave a faucet running while you brush your teeth, where water flows out for no reason. However, when an entire school ④forms this habit together, the total amount of ⑤saved energy becomes significant.

Last month, our class began practicing for the school choir contest, but rehearsals quickly turned tense. Minji, who had the loudest voice, kept correcting other members in the middle of songs. Several students felt hurt and began skipping practice, saying it felt more like criticism than teamwork. Our music teacher noticed the empty seats and asked what was happening. Minji explained that she only wanted the group to sound perfect. However, Junho said her tone made people afraid to sing at all. After an awkward silence, Minji admitted she had never noticed how her words affected others. So the class tried something new: _______________. Slowly, the tension faded and attendance returned to normal. On the day of the contest, the choir sang together with real confidence and earned second place.

Last year our art club received a set of digital drawing tablets, and I assumed switching from paper would feel like cheating, since a screen seemed to remove the physical struggle of real drawing. (A) What the tablet does offer is the freedom to undo a mistake instantly and experiment with colors without wasting paper, which encourages artists to take risks. Several members who once avoided painting now try bold new styles daily. (B) After a few weeks of practice, though, I noticed the tablet demanded a different kind of skill rather than an easier one. (C) Because there is no paper texture to guide the pen, beginners often press too hard or draw shaky lines until their hand adjusts to the smooth glass surface.

One Saturday morning, Jiho carried a heavy bag of old clothes to the donation box near his apartment. He had grown taller over the winter, so many shirts no longer fit him. (A) Therefore, Jiho folded each shirt neatly and placed them gently inside the box. In contrast to his first careless idea, he now felt genuinely happy about his choice. Walking home, Jiho realized that small actions could create meaningful change for others. (B) At first, he almost threw the clothes into the regular trash without thinking twice. (C) However, his older sister reminded him that clean clothes could still help someone else. She explained that donating clothes was like giving a plant a second chance to grow. For example, a jacket he had outgrown might keep another child warm this winter.

My younger brother was especially excited to see the huge whale model hanging from the ceiling. Last Saturday, the temperature outside reached almost thirty-eight degrees, so my family decided to stay indoors for the entire day. ( ① ) At first, I worried that staying inside would be boring, but we found several fun activities to enjoy together. ( ② ) In the morning, we visited a nearby indoor climbing gym, where I learned some basic climbing techniques from an instructor. ( ③ ) After lunch, we went to a small museum near our house that had a special exhibition about ocean animals. ( ④ ) In the afternoon, we played board games at a cafe that offered dozens of different games. ( ⑤ ) By the time we got home, I realized that indoor activities could be just as exciting as outdoor ones.
