영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Jihun made a resolution ①to study English for two hours every day. For the first three days, he studied exactly as planned and ②felt proud of himself. However, on the fourth day, he skipped his study time because he was too exhausted, and within a week, his resolution had disappeared. ③Feeling disappointed, Jihun talked to his older sister about it, and she suggested that he ④try a smaller, more realistic goal instead of a large one. Following her advice, he changed his plan to studying English for only twenty minutes each night, and this small goal felt less overwhelming, so he managed ⑤keeping it every day for a month.

Online courses have become a popular way for students ①to learn practical job skills outside of school. Unlike traditional classes, these courses let learners ②study at their own pace and repeat difficult lessons as many times as needed. Many courses also include practical projects, ③allow students to build a portfolio while they learn. Experts recommend ④setting a fixed weekly schedule and finishing small assignments regularly. Choosing a course with clear reviews and a well-organized structure also matters, because poorly designed courses can ⑤waste valuable time.

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 personal ①interest should always come before friendship. A club that matches your interest keeps you ②motivated during a busy exam period. It also helps to think about how much time each club actually ③requires. Some clubs meet only once a week, while others practice almost every day. Skill level matters too, since a few clubs accept only ④inexperienced 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 ⑤comfortable break from academic pressure.

As artificial intelligence becomes part of everyday life, entirely new job titles are ①appearing in the workplace. Prompt engineers design effective instructions that help AI programs produce ②accurate and useful results. AI ethics officers examine whether a company's technology treats users fairly and avoids harmful bias. These jobs did not exist even ten years ago, yet they are growing ③slowly across many industries. Interestingly, most of these new roles require not only technical knowledge but also strong communication and ethical ④judgment. Success in an AI-driven future will depend less on competing with machines and more on developing uniquely human skills that machines still cannot easily ⑤replace.

Safety signs surround us so constantly that most people stop ①consciously reading them soon after learning to drive. This is precisely the outcome that sign designers hope to avoid, since a sign that requires careful thought to interpret in an emergency has already ②succeeded at its purpose. Colors and shapes are chosen deliberately rather than randomly: red almost universally signals danger or prohibition, yellow signals ③caution, and green marks safety, a system consistent enough that a traveler in an unfamiliar country can often guess a sign's meaning without reading a word. Symbols replace text wherever possible for the same reason, allowing a running figure or a flame icon to communicate ④instantly to someone who may not speak the local language. Ignoring a familiar sign because it has become part of the background remains one of the most common and ⑤preventable causes of accidents in public spaces.

Our school's volunteer club, Helping Hands, tries to _______________. Each month, students visit a nearby nursing home and spend an afternoon talking with elderly residents. For example, they read newspapers aloud or just listen to old stories from the residents. In addition, members collect used books and toys from classmates and donate them to a community center downtown. Some students feel nervous before their first visit, unsure of what to say to strangers. However, most discover that a warm smile works better than perfect words. Therefore, the club's real goal is not just finishing hours for a report card. Instead, it teaches members that caring for others grows into a lasting habit, like watering a plant daily. By the end of the year, many students say the club changed how they see their community.
