영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Last summer, I ①worked part-time at a small coffee shop near my house. At first, I only wanted to earn some spending money, but the job ②taught me far more than that. I learned how to stay calm during busy hours when orders ③piled up quickly. One day, a customer complained loudly about a mistake in her order. Instead of ④argue, I apologized and quickly made a new drink for her. She left with a smile, and my manager praised my patience ⑤afterward.

Last January, Minji decided that she would run three kilometers every morning before school, but after a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping and soon stopped running altogether. By February, she felt disappointed and believed she simply lacked willpower. One evening, her older brother asked her why the plan had failed, and together they looked closely at her daily schedule. They realized that running before sunrise in freezing weather had been too difficult to maintain. So Minji changed her plan and decided to run after school instead, when the weather was warmer and she had more energy. This experience taught her that ___________.

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.

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.

Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know what these marks mean. Each symbol _______________. For instance, the number one usually stands for clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. Reading these marks is similar to reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Without checking the label, you might buy something unhealthy by mistake. Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a reusable item straight to a landfill. Some marks even show that a material cannot be recycled at all, so it must be sorted separately. Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more effective for everyone involved.

Motivation, after all, makes learning easier and far more effective. Choosing a college major is one of the biggest decisions many students face after high school. ( ① ) Some students assume that their major will completely determine their future career, but this is not always true. ( ② ) What matters more than the major itself is the set of skills a student develops, such as critical thinking, writing, and problem solving. ( ③ ) These abilities can be applied to almost any career. ( ④ ) However, choosing a major that genuinely interests a student still matters. ( ⑤ ) Therefore, students should choose a major based on curiosity and personal growth, not only on which job it seems to guarantee.

The change is small, but it asks students to do something quite different. Many English teachers now ask students to write a short review after finishing a book, rather than simply filling out a reading log. ( ① ) At first, students often complain that summarizing a plot is enough work already, so writing an opinion on top of that feels unnecessary. ( ② ) However, a review requires something a summary does not: a clear judgment supported by specific evidence from the text. ( ③ ) To defend an opinion about a character or a theme, students must return to the book and find exact passages that support their view. ( ④ ) This process forces readers to notice details they might have skipped during a first, quick reading. ( ⑤ ) 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, and writing a review turns out to be a way of reading more carefully in the first place.

Yet the more she corrected them, the quieter the room became. Last month, our class began practicing for the school choir contest, but rehearsals quickly turned tense. ( ① ) Minji, who had the loudest voice, kept correcting other members in the middle of songs. ( ② ) Several students felt hurt and began skipping practice, saying it felt more like criticism than teamwork. Our music teacher noticed the empty seats and asked what was happening. ( ③ ) Minji explained that she only wanted the group to sound perfect. However, Junho said her tone made people afraid to sing at all. ( ④ ) After an awkward silence, Minji admitted she had never noticed how her words affected others. So the class tried something new: each member shared one compliment before rehearsal began. ( ⑤ ) Slowly, the tension faded and attendance returned to normal. On the day of the contest, the choir sang together with real confidence and earned second place.

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.

That single feature, the ability to undo, turned out to change how boldly people were willing to experiment. 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. ( ① ) After a few weeks of practice, though, I noticed the tablet demanded a different kind of skill rather than an easier one. ( ② ) Because there is no paper texture to guide the pen, beginners often press too hard or draw shaky lines until their hand adjusts to the smooth glass surface. ( ③ ) 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 risks they might avoid with a permanent ink pen. ( ④ ) Several club members who once avoided painting because they feared ruining their work now try bold new styles daily. ( ⑤ ) The tool changed, but the patience and observation required to create something meaningful stayed exactly the same.
