On the first day of the club fair, the gym was filled with noise and color. Every table had a banner, and members ① calling out to new first-graders like me. My friend Somin dragged me toward the robotics club, insisting it would suit me. ② However, the long list of coding projects looked too complicated for a beginner. Just then, I noticed a quiet table ③ where students were sketching posters together. A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club welcomed complete beginners. She showed me a sketchbook ④ filled with simple drawings by first-year members. Her gentle voice made me feel relaxed for the first time that day. Without much thought, I wrote my name on the sign-up sheet before leaving. Walking out of the gym, I finally felt ⑤ that I belonged in this new school.

On Saturday afternoons, the small square near my house fills with the sound of a street guitarist who ① sets up his amplifier beside the fountain. At first, I assumed busking was simply a way for musicians to earn a little pocket money, but watching him more closely ② changed my mind. He does not merely play requests; he studies the mood of the crowd and adjusts his set list on the spot, ③ slows down for a tired evening walker or speeding up when children start dancing nearby. Unlike a concert hall performance, a street show has no fixed stage and no guaranteed audience, so the musician must win people's attention within the first few seconds or ④ lose them to their phones. This constant negotiation between performer and passerby, I realized, is itself a kind of art, one that depends as much on reading people as it does on ⑤ playing an instrument.

Many people throw away items ①that they no longer need. However, some students have started ②to buy and sell used goods instead of throwing them away. This practice, often ③called secondhand trading, takes place at flea markets or through simple online apps. When you buy a secondhand book or a used bicycle, you save money and reduce waste at the same time. For example, a jacket that no longer ④fit your older sibling can become a treasure for someone else. Giving an old item to a new owner is like giving a toy a second life. In contrast, throwing away useful items increases the amount of trash that ends up in landfills. Therefore, secondhand trading, ⑤which requires little effort, protects both your wallet and the environment. Small choices like this can make a big difference for our planet.

Summer vacation is a great time to go camping, but a safe trip requires ①careful preparation. First, pack enough water and snacks, since staying hydrated is ②essential in hot weather. Second, bring sunscreen and insect repellent, which will ③expose your skin to sunburn and bug bites. Check the weather forecast before you leave, and choose a campsite that is ④safe from flooding. A flashlight and extra batteries are also useful in case you need light after dark, and this small habit can make your trip much ⑤safer.

Many students confuse the student council with school clubs. In fact, the two groups serve very different purposes. The student council is an ①official body that represents the whole school. It manages ②shared issues such as rules, events, and communication with teachers. For example, council members often organize the school festival. They also collect opinions from each class before making decisions. A club, in contrast, is a small group formed around one shared interest, such as music or art. While the council must consider the needs of every student, a club can focus ③narrowly on what its own members enjoy. Therefore, joining the council usually requires an election, whereas joining a club simply requires ④false interest. Some students eventually do both, using the council to build ⑤leadership skills and a club to develop a personal passion.

Around elementary schools, bright yellow signs mark what is known as a school zone, an area where drivers are required to slow down to reduce the risk of striking a child who might dart into the street without warning. Some drivers complain that the reduced speed limit wastes their time, especially when no children happen to be visible at that moment. This complaint misses an important fact about how children behave near traffic: _______________. A car traveling even ten kilometers per hour slower gives a driver several extra seconds to brake, often the exact difference between a frightening near miss and a tragedy.

Many English teachers now ask students to write a short review after finishing a book, rather than simply filling out a reading log. (A) Teachers who assign reviews regularly report that their students remember plot details more accurately and discuss characters' motivations more confidently than students who only summarize. In this sense, writing a review is not extra work added onto reading; it is a way of reading more carefully in the first place. (B) To defend an opinion about a character or a theme, students must return to the book and find exact passages that support their view. This process forces readers to notice details they might have skipped during a first, quick reading. (C) At first, students often complain that summarizing a plot is enough work already, so writing an opinion on top of that feels unnecessary. However, a review requires something a summary does not: a clear judgment supported by specific evidence from the text.

Riding a bicycle is one of the most popular ways for teenagers to get around, yet many students still skip the one piece of equipment that could save their life: the helmet. (A) Wearing a helmet does not prevent a fall, but it dramatically reduces the chance of a serious head injury when one occurs. (B) A sudden pothole, a car door opening without warning, or a patch of gravel can throw even an experienced cyclist off balance in an instant. (C) Some argue that a short trip to a nearby store does not require any special protection, since the risk feels distant and unlikely, but most accidents actually happen close to home, on familiar streets where riders feel too comfortable to expect danger.

Sorting your trash correctly is one of the simplest habits that protect our environment. (A) For example, plastic bottles should be rinsed and have their caps removed before being thrown away. Paper soaked with food or oil, however, cannot be recycled and must go into general waste. (B) Likewise, mixing recyclables with ordinary trash makes the whole recycling process complicated. Many students believe that sorting trash takes too much time, but it actually requires only a few extra seconds. Therefore, learning these basic rules now helps you build a habit that benefits your entire community. (C) When you separate paper, plastic, glass, and cans, recycling centers can process each material more efficiently. Sorting garbage is similar to organizing a closet, where each type of clothing has its own shelf. If items are mixed together carelessly, finding what you need later becomes difficult.

주어진 문장: Once he missed a single day, he found it much easier to miss the next one as well. Jihun made a resolution to study English for two hours every day. ( ① ) For the first three days, he studied exactly as planned and felt proud of himself. ( ② ) On the fourth day, however, he skipped his study time because he was too exhausted. ( ③ ) Within a week, his resolution had disappeared completely. ( ④ ) Feeling disappointed, Jihun talked to his older sister, who suggested that he try a smaller, more realistic goal instead of a large one. ( ⑤ ) Following her advice, Jihun changed his plan to studying English for only twenty minutes each night, and this small goal felt less overwhelming.
