Many students give up on their New Year goals because the goals feel too ①big to handle. A more effective approach is to break a large goal into ②smaller, manageable steps. Once you complete that small step, move on to the next one, and gradually build toward the bigger goal. This method works because small tasks feel ③impossible, and completing them gives a sense of success. That feeling of success encourages you to keep going. Over time, small steps add up to real progress, like bricks eventually forming a ④strong wall. Starting small is often the ⑤smartest way to reach a big dream.

Many English teachers now ask students to write a short review after finishing a book, rather than simply filling out a reading log. At first, students often ①complain 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 ②specific evidence from the text. To defend an opinion about a character or a theme, students must return to the book and ③ignore exact passages that support their view. This process forces readers to notice details they might have skipped during a first, quick reading. Teachers who assign reviews regularly report that their students remember plot details more ④accurately 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 ⑤carefully in the first place.

This workbook is designed to help you set meaningful goals for the new year, so please read the instructions carefully before you begin. First, turn to page one and write down one goal you truly want to achieve this year, and then ___________. On page two, break your goal into four smaller monthly steps, using the space provided for each month. Then, use the weekly checklist on page three to track your progress every Sunday.

For most of the twentieth century, a library was simply a quiet room full of books, and visitors were expected to stay silent while they searched the shelves. Today, many public libraries look completely different. _______________. Librarians say this change did not happen by accident. As more information moved online, fewer people needed a library simply to find facts, so librarians began asking what their communities actually needed instead.

Safety signs surround us so constantly, from a yellow diamond warning of a curve ahead to a red octagon commanding a full stop, that most people stop consciously reading them soon after learning to drive. (A) Symbols replace text wherever possible for the same reason, allowing a running figure or a flame icon to communicate instantly to someone who may not speak the local language. (B) This is precisely the outcome that sign designers hope to avoid, since a sign that requires careful thought to interpret in an emergency has already failed at its purpose. (C) Colors and shapes are chosen deliberately rather than randomly: red almost universally signals danger or prohibition, yellow signals caution, and green marks safety.

Whether or not a goal is motivating often depends on how clear it is. (A) For example, a student who simply decides to study harder often loses direction because the plan is too vague. (B) 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. (C) This is because a clear goal gives the brain an exact target to focus on, which makes progress easy to measure and keeps people motivated.

Minho's path to reaching his goal was not always smooth, but he found a few strategies that kept him moving forward. (A) First, he wrote his goal in his notebook and read it every morning to keep it fresh in his mind. (B) He then broke his big goal into smaller monthly tasks, focusing on one weak subject at a time. (C) Finally, he partnered with a friend who shared the same goal, and they checked on each other's progress every week.

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

주어진 문장: These habits include the way we use light, water, and electronic devices every day. Every day, we leave behind marks of the gases that warm our planet, much like footprints left in wet sand. ① These marks, often called our carbon footprint, come from small choices such as driving, eating, and using electricity. ② Many students think that only large factories create these marks, but ordinary habits at home also matter greatly. ③ For example, turning off lights when leaving a room reduces the energy that power plants must produce. ④ Walking or biking to school instead of riding in a car also lowers the amount of gas released into the air. In contrast, leaving devices plugged in all night quietly increases our footprint without our notice. ⑤ Therefore, students who practice these simple habits regularly can shrink their footprint significantly. Small daily choices, repeated over time, become powerful tools for protecting the environment we all share.

What all three of these risks share is that they can be avoided with a few minutes of preparation, not with expensive gear. A weekend camping trip promises fresh air and a break from screens, but the same wilderness that makes camping appealing also removes many of the safety nets people rely on without noticing, such as nearby hospitals or cell phone signal. ( ① ) One of the most overlooked risks is setting up a tent too close to a campfire, since a sudden gust of wind can carry a spark onto dry fabric faster than anyone expects. ( ② ) Food storage is another area where casual habits create danger: leaving snacks inside a tent, rather than in a sealed container away from the sleeping area, can attract wildlife looking for food. ( ③ ) Experienced campers also stress the importance of checking a weather forecast before leaving, since a clear evening sky offers no guarantee against a sudden storm later that night. ( ④ ) None of these precautions demand special equipment or skill. ( ⑤ ) They simply require campers to treat the outdoors with the same caution they would show in any unfamiliar environment.
