Our school's volunteer club, Helping Hands, ①tries to make small acts of kindness feel natural. Each month, students visit a nearby nursing home and spend an afternoon ②talked 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 ③donate them to a community center downtown. Some students feel nervous before their first visit, unsure of what ④to 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 ⑤caring 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.

Many students wonder why club activities matter so much for their school life record, a document ①that summarizes what a student did during each semester. Whenever students take part in a club, their teacher writes a short note ②describing what role they played and how they grew. For example, a student ③who organized a club exhibition might be described as someone who showed strong leadership and creativity. These notes are not simply a list of activities; they explain the process behind each achievement. Therefore, admissions officers at universities read the record carefully ④understand a student's genuine interests, not just their grades. In contrast, a club membership with no real participation rarely leaves a meaningful impression. This is why teachers encourage students ⑤to take an active role rather than joining a club only for its name.

For the first week, she woke up early and ran ①happily, feeling proud of her new habit. However, after a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping, and soon she stopped running altogether, which made her feel ②confident about her progress. By February, she felt disappointed and believed she simply lacked willpower. They realized that running before sunrise in freezing weather had been too ③difficult to maintain. So Minji changed her plan and decided to run after school instead, when the weather was ④warmer and she had more energy. She kept running three times a week, and by spring, she had grown much stronger and more ⑤positive.

Every spring, our school holds an art exhibition in the main hallway, and this year I finally submitted a painting of my own. For weeks, I compared my work to my classmates' drawings and felt ①sure that mine was not good enough to hang beside theirs. My art teacher noticed my ②hesitation 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. On the morning the paintings went up, I walked past dozens of styles, from careful realistic portraits to ③boring, colorful abstractions, and none of them looked like mine. Instead of feeling embarrassed, I found myself ④curious about why each artist had made certain choices. 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 ⑤shared space.

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. After a few weeks of practice, though, I noticed the tablet demanded a ①different kind of skill rather than an easier one. Because there is no paper texture to guide the pen, beginners often press too ②lightly or draw shaky lines until their hand adjusts to the smooth glass surface. What the tablet does offer is the freedom to undo a mistake instantly and experiment with colors without wasting a single sheet of paper, which encourages artists to take ③risks they might avoid with a permanent ink pen. Several club members who once avoided painting because they feared ruining their work now try ④bold new styles daily. The tool changed, but the patience and observation required to create something meaningful stayed exactly the ⑤same.

Have you ever wondered why some people stay motivated while others give up quickly? The answer often lies in ___________. When people have no specific goal, they usually feel confused about where to start, and their interest fades within days. For example, a student who simply decides to study harder this year often loses direction because the plan is too vague. In contrast, a student who sets a clear goal, such as raising an English score by ten points, knows exactly what to do every day. This clarity creates strong motivation because the brain naturally focuses on a clear target. Setting a specific goal is one of the most effective ways to build lasting motivation.

Walking through the old industrial district downtown, I noticed that a gray concrete wall had been transformed overnight into a wild swirl of color, letters, and cartoon figures. Some residents complained to the city office, calling it vandalism and demanding that workers paint over it immediately. Others argued that the same wall had been an ugly, forgotten eyesore for years, and that the graffiti artist had simply given it a voice no one else bothered to give it. This disagreement reveals a tension at the heart of street art: _______________. The line between vandalism and art, it seems, often depends less on the paint itself than on who gave permission to use the wall.

Attention, all students! Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium, where ___________. Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props to explain the goal clearly. Students who wish to participate must submit a short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd.

People often react to failure in very different ways, and this difference can shape their future success. (A) For example, a student who fails a math test might feel upset briefly, but then ask the teacher which questions revealed weak points. (B) Some people believe that failing simply proves they lack ability, so they quickly give up on their goal. (C) Others, however, treat the failure as useful information and use it to build a clearer plan for improvement.

This January, our school will run a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign for every student. (A) First, each student will receive a goal card in homeroom class and write one personal goal along with two steps to reach it. (B) Afterward, all the cards will be displayed on the bulletin board outside the library for everyone to see. (C) Once the card is complete, students must submit it to their homeroom teacher by January 9th.
