Attention all club leaders: applications for the club budget are now open. If your club wants support for materials, events, or competitions, please follow the steps below. First, download the budget request form from the school website and ①fill in your club's name, purpose, and requested amount. Second, attach a short plan ②explaining how the money will be used, since forms without a clear plan will not be reviewed. Third, submit the completed form to the teacher in charge of student activities by August 14th. Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted. Once submitted, each request will be reviewed by the budget committee, ③which meets every Friday. Approved clubs will receive their funds within two weeks, and results ④will be posted on the club bulletin board. Please contact Mr. Han in the activities office if you ⑤has any questions.

When a classmate began writing her diary entries in elaborate, flowing calligraphy instead of ordinary handwriting, I ①assumed she was simply trying to make her notebook look decorative. Curious, I asked her to teach me one afternoon, and I quickly ②discovered that calligraphy demands far more patience than I had expected. Every stroke has to be planned before the pen touches the paper, since a brush pen cannot be ③casually corrected once ink has already spread across the page. She told me that slowing her hand down to this deliberate pace actually helped her think more clearly, because rushing through a sentence in calligraphy simply was not physically ④possible. What began as decoration for her gradually became a kind of meditation, a rare part of her day when she could not multitask or ⑤hurrying.

①Choosing the right club can shape how a student feels about school life. Many first-graders join a club simply because their friends ②are joining it. However, experts suggest that personal interest should always come before friendship. A club that ③match 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 ④practice almost every day. Skill level matters too, since a few clubs accept only experienced students. For this reason, most schools ⑤allow 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.

Attention, students and teachers! Our school is starting a new campaign called 'Bring Your Own Bag.' Starting next Monday, the school store will no longer offer free plastic bags to customers. Instead, we encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home. Plastic bags, ①which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be ②used again and again for many years. Therefore, ③using a reusable bag is a simple habit that protects sea animals and reduces pollution. For example, students ④who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. However, students who forget their bags may still ⑤purchases a paper bag for a small fee. We hope every student will join this easy and meaningful campaign. Thank you for helping our school become greener.

Many students imagine a librarian simply sitting behind a desk and stamping books. Ms. Han, who has worked at a school library for over ten years, says that image is far from ①accurate. A large part of her job involves choosing which new books to buy, based on both student requests and current trends in youth literature. She also spends hours ②training students to search databases and judge whether an online source is trustworthy, a skill she considers just as important as reading itself. According to Ms. Han, the most rewarding moment is not organizing shelves but watching a student who once avoided reading ③refuse to ask for a second book in the same series. She admits that budgets are often ④tight and that new technology keeps changing how libraries operate. Still, she insists that the core purpose of her job has never changed: connecting each reader with the right book at the right ⑤time.

Yesterday, I visited my school's career counselor because I felt confused about my future. She listened carefully and then asked me a simple question: what activities make me lose track of time? I answered that designing posters for school events always felt exciting. She smiled and said that this kind of clue often reveals ___________, more than any test score can. She suggested that I try combining my two interests by exploring careers such as scientific illustration or product design.

Students who read many books across many different subjects often develop a habit that quieter learners sometimes lack: the habit of comparing new information with what they already know. A student who has read about ancient wars, ocean ecosystems, and modern economics can more easily notice when two different subjects share a similar pattern. This kind of connection-making is closely related to what psychologists call critical thinking, since _______________. Extensive reading also builds a large mental library of examples, which makes it easier to evaluate whether a new claim sounds reasonable or exaggerated.

When Suji transferred to a new school in March, she knew no one in her class and felt lonely during lunch and breaks. Her homeroom teacher suggested _______________. Suji signed up for the photography club, though she had never taken photography seriously before. At the first meeting, older members taught her how to adjust a camera and find a good angle. Because everyone shared photos and gave friendly feedback each week, Suji gradually felt more comfortable with the other members. One rainy afternoon, a fellow member, Hana, invited her to photograph the flooded schoolyard together. They laughed while trying to keep their cameras dry, and that moment grew into a real friendship. By the end of the semester, Suji had a small group of friends who understood her sense of humor.

Pets need extra care and attention when the summer heat becomes intense. (A) It is also important to avoid walking your dog during the hottest hours, since hot pavement can burn its paws. (B) First, always provide plenty of fresh, cool water throughout the day. (C) Most importantly, never leave a pet alone in a parked car, even for a few minutes.

This loss, many say, is not simply about the words themselves but about a physical sense of place within the story. Whenever people discuss the future of reading, one debate never seems to end: e-books or paper books? ( ① ) Supporters of e-books point out that a single device can hold thousands of titles, which makes traveling with a full library incredibly light. Readers can also change the font size, look up a word instantly, and carry their entire collection in one bag. ( ② ) Fans of paper books, however, argue that something important is lost on a screen. ( ③ ) Many readers say they remember a paper book's plot more clearly, perhaps because they recall where a scene appeared on the page. ( ④ ) Screens also invite distraction, since a single notification can pull a reader away from the story in seconds. ( ⑤ ) Interestingly, several recent surveys suggest that most young readers do not choose one format forever. Instead, they switch between paper and digital depending on the situation, treating the debate less as a contest and more as a matter of convenience.
