Yesterday, I ①visited my school's career counselor because I felt confused about my future. I told her that I enjoyed both science and art, but I could not decide which subject ②to pursue. She listened carefully and then asked me a simple question: what activities ③make me lose track of time? She suggested that I try ④combining my two interests by exploring careers such as scientific illustration or product design. Before I left, she reminded me that career paths rarely follow a straight line, so it was fine ⑤explore multiple directions.

This year's Club Festival will be held in the school gym and nearby classrooms next Friday. Visitors should first pick up a program map at the entrance to find each club's booth. Art and photography clubs will show their work in Classroom 201. Dance and music clubs will perform on the gym stage. Performances start every thirty minutes, so guests should arrive five minutes ①early. Because seating is ②unlimited, latecomers may need to stand at the back. Visitors may take photos, but please turn off the camera flash during performances. Food will be sold ③outside the gym, but drinks cannot be brought into the exhibition rooms. If you have questions, staff members wearing yellow vests will be ④glad to help. We hope everyone ⑤enjoys discovering what our clubs have worked on this semester.

Online courses have become a popular way for students to learn practical job skills outside of school. Unlike traditional classes, these courses let learners study at their own ①pace and repeat difficult lessons as many times as needed. However, taking an online course requires strong self-discipline, since no teacher checks whether students are ②keeping up. Experts recommend setting a fixed weekly schedule and finishing small assignments ③regularly instead of studying everything the night before a deadline. Choosing a course with clear reviews and a well-organized structure also matters, because poorly designed courses can ④save valuable time. With the right approach, online learning can give students a real ⑤head start in their future careers.

Every summer, lifeguards repeat the same warnings to swimmers, yet drowning remains one of the most common causes of accidental death among teenagers. Part of the problem is that danger in water rarely looks ①dramatic; a swimmer struggling to stay afloat often makes little noise and shows no obvious signs of panic, which means bystanders may not realize help is needed until it is too late. Rip currents present a particularly ②deceptive threat, since the water's surface can appear calm even while a powerful current pulls a swimmer steadily away from shore. Experts advise that anyone caught in such a current should swim parallel to the beach rather than struggling directly against it, since fighting the current head-on quickly ③strengthens even a strong swimmer. Simple habits, such as swimming near a lifeguard station and never entering the water alone, dramatically ④lower the risk of a minor mistake turning into a fatal ⑤one.

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, which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be used again and again for many years. Therefore, using a reusable bag is _______________. For example, students who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. However, students who forget their bags may still purchase 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.

Career aptitude tests come in many different forms today, and schools use them for various purposes. (A) Some tests focus on personality, asking students how they usually react in different situations.

For our club's spring project, we were told to create a sculpture using only materials collected from the school's recycling bins, and my first reaction was disappointment at not being allowed to buy proper art supplies. (A) Sorting through flattened cardboard, broken umbrella frames, and plastic bottle caps, I initially saw nothing but trash. (B) My perspective shifted once a senior member showed me a piece she had built the previous year, a bird made entirely of bent bicycle spokes and bottle caps, each cap functioning as a single feather. (C) She explained that upcycling art forces a creator to notice a material's natural shape and texture rather than simply painting over it, which often produces more original results than starting with a blank, expensive canvas.

Not every family reacts the same way, however. When I told my parents I wanted to become a musician, I expected them to worry about money and stability. ( ① ) Instead, my father surprised me by asking what kind of music made me feel most alive. ( ② ) My mother, who had once dreamed of becoming a painter herself, admitted that she still wondered what her life might have looked like. ( ③ ) Their honesty made me realize that parents' influence on career choices is not always about pressure or control; sometimes, it comes quietly through shared stories and unfinished dreams. ( ④ ) Some parents push their children toward careers they consider safer. ( ⑤ ) Still, my parents' support taught me that the most helpful kind of guidance often respects a child's own voice instead of replacing it.
