On Saturday afternoons, the small square near my house fills with the sound of a street guitarist who ①sets 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 ②changed my mind. He does not merely play requests; he studies the mood of the crowd and adjusts his set list on the spot, ③slows 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 ④lose 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 ⑤playing an instrument.

Last summer, our neighborhood association ①invited students to help paint a mural on the long wall beside the community center, and nearly forty volunteers with completely different painting abilities showed up on the first day. I worried that combining so many different skill levels would create an ugly, mismatched result, since some volunteers ②had painted for years while others, including me, had never held a large brush before. The project leader solved this by dividing the huge design into small, connected sections and ③assign each volunteer a section matched to their comfort level, from simple solid-color backgrounds to detailed flowers. Beginners filled in wide open skies, while experienced painters ④added fine details like veins on leaves or shadows under birds. When the plastic sheets finally came down, the mural looked remarkably unified, not despite the many different hands involved, but because each hand had ⑤been given a task suited to what it could do well.

Jimin joined the school band club in March, but she ①had never performed before an audience. The club's first concert was only two weeks away, and everyone felt nervous. During practice, her hands shook whenever the song reached the chorus, and she kept missing the same chord. Instead of laughing at her mistakes, the other members waited patiently and ②playing the section again with her. The drummer, Suho, suggested that she ③focus on just one part at a time. Slowly, her fingers grew more confident, and the chord ④that once felt impossible began to feel natural. The club practiced until the melody sounded smooth the night before the concert. When Jimin walked onto the stage, she thought of her friends' patience instead of her fear. The audience clapped warmly, and she realized ⑤her club's support had made the difference.

Electric scooters have become a common sight on city sidewalks, ①offering a quick way to cover short distances, yet most riders climb on without ever putting on a helmet. Part of the problem is that renting a scooter takes only a few taps on a phone screen, while finding and carrying a helmet ②requires planning that many riders simply skip. Emergency room doctors note that scooter-related head injuries have risen sharply in recent years, ③closely tracking the rise in scooter popularity itself. Unlike a bicycle, which typically requires balance skills built up over years of practice, an electric scooter can reach a surprising speed within seconds, often faster than new riders ④expecting from something that looks simple to operate. Cities that have begun requiring helmets for scooter rentals ⑤report a measurable drop in serious injuries.

Attention, students and teachers! Our school is starting a new campaign called 'Bring Your Own Bag.' Starting next Monday, the school store will no longer offer free plastic bags to customers. Instead, we encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home. Plastic bags, ①which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be ②used again and again for many years. Therefore, ③using a reusable bag is a simple habit that protects sea animals and reduces pollution. For example, students ④who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. However, students who forget their bags may still ⑤purchases a paper bag for a small fee. We hope every student will join this easy and meaningful campaign. Thank you for helping our school become greener.

Willpower is like a muscle that becomes ①tired after being used too much, so people often run out of self-control by the end of a busy day. Many resolutions are unrealistic from the beginning, since people set goals that are far too ②easy to reach in a short time, and when a goal feels impossible, people quickly ③lose motivation and stop trying. Most resolutions do not offer any ④immediate reward, so people find it hard to stay motivated without seeing fast results. Understanding these reasons can help people design goals that are more ⑤realistic and rewarding.

The student council reminds all club members about the rules for using the club activity room. First, every club must sign up for a time slot on the reservation sheet. Members should arrive on time and leave the room within ten minutes after their activity ends. Because several clubs share the same space, food and drinks are not allowed inside the room. Members must also return chairs and tables to their original positions before leaving. If equipment is broken or missing, the club leader should report it to the teacher. Clubs that ignore these rules may lose their reservation for the following month. Please also remember to turn off the lights and lock the door carefully. These simple habits will _______________.

When I finally got the chance to interview a professional webtoon artist for our school newspaper, I expected her to describe drawing as the hardest part of her job. (A) She sketches rough thumbnails for an entire chapter before touching a single detailed panel, testing whether the pacing keeps readers scrolling instead of losing interest halfway through. (B) Instead, she told me that writing the story comes first, often taking longer than the artwork itself. (C) She also reads every comment section carefully, not to copy what fans suggest, but to understand which moments made readers feel something real, and a single weekly episode usually takes her nearly forty hours to complete.

주어진 문장: In other words, the record shows how a student thought and acted, not merely which club they joined. Many students wonder why club activities matter so much for their school life record, a document that summarizes what a student did during each semester. ① Whenever students take part in a club, their teacher writes a short note describing what role they played and how they grew. ② For example, a student who organized a club exhibition might be described as someone who showed strong leadership and creativity. These notes are not simply a list of activities; they explain the process behind each achievement. ③ Therefore, admissions officers at universities read the record carefully to understand a student's genuine interests, not just their grades. In contrast, a club membership with no real participation rarely leaves a meaningful impression. ④ This is why teachers encourage students to take an active role rather than joining a club only for its name. ⑤

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.
