Setting a goal is only the first step; ①keeping track of progress is just as important. Many people write down goals at the beginning of the year but never check how far they ②have come. Keeping a simple log, such as a weekly checklist or a short journal entry, lets a person ③seeing clear evidence of improvement over time. For instance, someone ④learning guitar might record which songs they practiced each week. Tracking progress also helps identify problems early, since a person can notice when effort stops producing results and ⑤adjust the plan before too much time is wasted.

In our elective fashion design class, the first assignment was not to sketch a beautiful outfit but ①to design clothing for a specific, unusual situation, such as a rainy commute or a wheelchair user's daily routine. I initially found the assignment strange, since I ②had 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, ③changing how I approached the project entirely. 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. My final design looked far simpler than the elaborate sketches some classmates produced, yet our teacher ④praised it precisely because every choice solved a real problem the wearer would actually face. I finished the unit understanding that thoughtful design often begins with a person's needs, not with a ⑤striking image.

When choosing a future career, students often face a common question: should I follow what I love, or what I ①being good at? Passion can provide strong motivation, ②pushing a person to practice for hours without feeling tired. However, loving an activity does not always mean a person will become skilled at it professionally. Natural talent can lead to quick success, but without genuine interest, that success may eventually feel ③empty or exhausting. Career experts suggest ④looking for an overlap between the two. Finding this balance takes time and self-reflection, but it often leads to a more ⑤satisfying and sustainable career.

Sunny Beach Rentals is now open for the summer season, offering a wide range of water equipment at ①affordable daily rates.

Renters are asked to return all items by six in the evening, since the shop closes shortly after ④sunset. Damaged equipment must be reported ⑤immediately so that it can be replaced quickly.

Our photography club meets every Thursday, and our advisor always repeats the same instruction before we leave campus: put the camera down for the first ten minutes and simply look around. At first this rule ①frustrated me, since I had joined the club specifically to take pictures, not to stand around empty-handed. Over time, though, I noticed that the members who followed her advice most closely tended to bring back the most ②interesting photographs. Instead of snapping dozens of rushed shots of the first flower or building they saw, they ③rushed toward a specific moment, a shadow falling at the right angle or a stranger's unplanned gesture, and captured only that. A camera, our advisor explained, cannot teach a person what is worth noticing; it can only ④record what the photographer has already decided matters. Learning to look carefully, it turns out, is a skill that develops long before a finger ever touches the ⑤shutter button.

Every spring, our school holds an art exhibition in the main hallway, and this year I finally submitted a painting of my own. (A) On the morning the paintings went up, I walked past dozens of styles, from careful realistic portraits to messy, colorful abstractions, and none of them looked like mine. Instead of feeling embarrassed, I found myself curious about why each artist had made certain choices. (B) Standing in that crowded hallway, I finally understood that the exhibition's real purpose was not to rank the paintings, but to let students discover how many different perspectives could exist in a single shared space. (C) For weeks, I compared my work to my classmates' drawings and felt sure that mine was not good enough to hang beside theirs. My art teacher noticed my hesitation and said something I did not expect: an exhibition is not a contest to find the single best picture, but a chance to show how differently people see the same world.

Jihun's new year resolution to study English two hours a day did not go as planned. (A) He studied exactly as planned for the first three days, but on the fourth day, he skipped his study time because he felt too exhausted. (B) Following her advice, Jihun changed his plan to studying English for only twenty minutes each night, and this small change made a big difference. (C) After his resolution completely disappeared within a week, Jihun talked to his older sister, who suggested trying a smaller, more realistic goal.

주어진 문장: In contrast, turning off the tap during that time saves a surprising amount of water each day. Water looks endless when it flows from the tap every morning. ① However, clean water is actually a limited resource that we must protect carefully. Many families waste water without even noticing it in their daily routine. For example, leaving the tap running while brushing your teeth can waste several liters of water. ② Taking a shorter shower is another easy habit that reduces water use significantly. ③ Fixing a leaking faucet, which many people ignore, can also save hundreds of liters every month. ④ Saving water is like keeping money in a savings account for the future. Therefore, small changes in our daily habits, practiced by every family, can protect this precious resource. ⑤ Everyone who cares about the environment should start saving water today.

Watching him, it occurred to me that my comics might serve exactly the same quiet purpose. Whenever someone learns that I spend hours drawing comics that almost nobody else ever sees, they usually ask why I bother, since the work will never be published or praised by a large audience. ( ① ) For a long time, I struggled to answer that question honestly, assuming that art only counted as worthwhile once other people recognized it. ( ② ) Watching my younger brother build enormous, pointless block towers purely for the joy of knocking them down, though, helped me understand something I had been missing. ( ③ ) 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. ( ④ ) Creating something, I now believe, often serves the creator first, giving shape to a feeling or idea that would otherwise stay vague and unexpressed. ( ⑤ ) Whether or not anyone else ever sees the result, that private act of shaping an idea into something real still seems to matter enormously.
