When people ①fail to reach a goal, they often feel embarrassed and want to give up. However, the way a person thinks about failure can ②changing what happens next. Some people believe failing means they simply lack ability, ③which leads them to stop trying. Others see failure differently: they treat it as useful information ④that shows what needs to change.

The Riverside Summer Festival will take place from August 1st ①to August 3rd at Riverside Park.

Many students wonder why club activities ①matter so much for their school life record, a document that summarizes what a student did during each semester. Whenever students take part in a club, their teacher writes a short note describing what role they played and how they grew. For example, a student who organized a club exhibition might be described as someone who showed ②strong 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 to understand a student's ③genuine interests, not just their grades. In contrast, a club membership with no real participation rarely leaves a ④meaningful impression. This is why teachers encourage students to take a ⑤passive role rather than joining a club only for its name.

Many people throw away items that they no longer need. However, some students have started to buy and sell used goods instead of throwing them away. This practice, often called 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 fits 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, which requires little effort, _______________. Small choices like this can make a big difference for our planet.

In our elective fashion design class, the first assignment was not to sketch a beautiful outfit but to design clothing for a specific, unusual situation, such as a rainy commute or a wheelchair user's daily routine. I initially found the assignment strange, since I had imagined fashion design as primarily about appearance rather than practical problem-solving. Researching my chosen situation, a delivery worker who bikes through the city in all weather, changed how I approached the project entirely: _______________. My final design looked far simpler than the elaborate sketches some classmates produced, yet our teacher praised it precisely because every choice solved a real problem the wearer would actually face. I finished the unit understanding that thoughtful design often begins with a person's needs, not with a striking image.

Air conditioners make summer days more comfortable, but using them incorrectly can harm your health. Many people set the temperature far below the outdoor temperature to cool down quickly. However, doctors recommend ___________. A larger gap forces your body to adjust constantly, which can weaken your immune system and cause headaches, fatigue, and a stuffy nose.

On the first day of the club fair, the gym was filled with noise and color. Every table had a banner, and members called out to new first-graders like me. (A) She showed me a sketchbook 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 that I belonged in this new school. (B) My friend Somin dragged me toward the robotics club, insisting it would suit me. However, the long list of coding projects looked too complicated for a beginner. (C) Just then, I noticed a quiet table where students were sketching posters together. A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club welcomed complete beginners.

Jihun's new year resolution to study English two hours a day did not go as planned. (A) He studied exactly as planned for the first three days, but on the fourth day, he skipped his study time because he felt too exhausted. (B) Following her advice, Jihun changed his plan to studying English for only twenty minutes each night, and this small change made a big difference. (C) After his resolution completely disappeared within a week, Jihun talked to his older sister, who suggested trying a smaller, more realistic goal.

Storing summer fruit properly can help you avoid waste and enjoy fresher flavors. (A) Berries, however, should not be washed until just before eating, because moisture encourages mold to grow. (B) Watermelon and melon should be kept in the refrigerator once they are cut, since warm air speeds up spoiling. (C) Bananas, unlike most fruit, are best kept on the counter rather than in the refrigerator.

Last Saturday, Jimin visited the recycling center near her apartment with her science class. (A) She had expected the place to be dirty and unpleasant, but the center looked clean and well organized. A worker named Mr. Park guided the students through each area, explaining how bottles, cans, and paper were sorted. (B) 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. (C) 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.
