Many students who reach their goals share one habit: they ①picturing the goal clearly before they even start working. This process, called visualization, means imagining a goal in detail, often by ②drawing pictures or writing specific descriptions. For example, a student ③who dreams of studying abroad might make a board filled with photos of a foreign campus. Seeing these images every day keeps the goal fresh in mind and ④reminds the student why the effort matters. Visualization also helps people notice small opportunities that they might otherwise miss, since the brain naturally pays attention to things ⑤connected to personal goals.

The job market has changed dramatically over the past few decades, and it continues ①to shift every year. Many tasks once done entirely by humans are now ②shared with machines and computer programs. As a result, some traditional jobs have slowly disappeared, while entirely new positions ③have emerged to replace them. Workers who once relied on a single skill for their whole career now often need to learn new tools, ④which did not exist twenty years ago. Experts note that workers who stay flexible and keep learning ⑤tends to succeed regardless of which industry they choose.

Many students give up on their New Year goals because the goals feel too big ①to handle. A more effective approach is ②break a large goal into smaller, manageable steps. Instead of focusing on the entire year, try setting a goal for just one week, ③such as learning twenty new words. Once you complete that small step, ④move on to the next one, and gradually build toward the bigger goal. This method works because small tasks feel achievable, and completing them ⑤gives a sense of success.

Drinking enough water ①are especially important during the hot summer months. When you sweat a lot, your body loses not only water but also important minerals ②called electrolytes. If you do not replace these losses, you may feel tired, dizzy, or ③even suffer from muscle cramps. It is best ④to avoid sugary drinks and too much caffeine, since they can make dehydration worse. Eating water-rich fruits and vegetables ⑤can also help you stay hydrated.

Our school's book club, Page Turners, meets every Wednesday to discuss a book the members chose. At the start of each month, students suggest titles and vote to pick one. This way, everyone feels some ①indifference over what the club reads next. Before each meeting, members read several chapters and prepare a few questions. During the meeting, the leader opens discussion by asking a question about the story's main idea. Then members take turns sharing their opinions, even when they disagree with each other. For example, students once argued for a long time about a character's ②difficult choice. Such debates, though sometimes ③loud, help members understand ④different points of view. At the end of the semester, the club holds an event to recommend favorite books. Through this process, reading becomes less like homework and more like a ⑤shared conversation.

For many students, the walk to school feels so routine that safety becomes an afterthought, yet a surprising number of accidents occur within a few blocks of the school gate. Part of the danger comes from convenience: _______________. This shortcut becomes especially risky during the darker months, when a driver's ability to spot a pedestrian drops sharply well before sunrise or after sunset.

Last Saturday, Jimin visited the recycling center near her apartment with her science class. She had expected the place to be dirty and unpleasant, but _______________. A worker named Mr. Park guided the students through each area, explaining how bottles, cans, and paper were sorted. He showed them a machine that crushed plastic bottles into small pieces before they were sent to factories. Jimin was surprised to learn that mixed trash, thrown into the wrong bin, often ruined an entire batch of recyclables. For example, one greasy pizza box could contaminate a whole pile of clean paper. However, when items were sorted correctly, they could be reused many times, almost like ingredients in a favorite recipe. Walking home, Jimin realized that her small effort at home truly mattered. She decided to sort her family's trash more carefully.

주어진 문장: In other words, the item keeps its basic shape but serves a completely different purpose. Have you ever thrown away an old pair of jeans simply because they no longer fit? ① Instead of discarding them, many people now turn old items into something new and useful. This creative process, called upcycling, transforms unwanted objects into products with greater value than before. ② For example, a worn pair of jeans can be cut and sewn into a sturdy bag or a small pouch. Old wooden pallets, once used for shipping, are often rebuilt into simple furniture such as tables and shelves. ③ However, upcycling differs from ordinary recycling, which usually breaks materials down before making something new. In upcycling, the original material keeps most of its form while gaining a fresh purpose. ④ Therefore, choosing to upcycle rather than throw items away can reduce waste significantly. ⑤ This small shift in thinking allows old objects to enjoy a meaningful second life.

In other words, wide reading does not just add facts to a student's memory; it changes the way that student questions everything else. 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. ( ① ) 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. ( ② ) This kind of connection-making is closely related to what psychologists call critical thinking. ( ③ ) Seeing a familiar pattern in an unfamiliar topic allows a person to ask sharper questions instead of accepting new information at face value. ( ④ ) Extensive reading also builds a large mental library of examples, which makes it easier to evaluate whether a new claim sounds reasonable or exaggerated. ( ⑤ ) Teachers often notice that widely read students argue more carefully, supporting their opinions with specific examples rather than vague generalizations. For this reason, many educators now argue that assigning a wide variety of reading material may do more for a student's thinking skills than any single course in logic.

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.
