Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium. Every student ①is invited to share one personal goal for this year in front of classmates and teachers. Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props ②to explain the goal clearly. Students ③who wish to participate must submit a short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd. The event, held in the auditorium at two o'clock, will ④ending with light refreshments for everyone who attended. Prizes will be given for the most creative goal and the most inspiring presentation, ⑤chosen by a panel of teachers.

Every light ①left on in an empty room wastes electricity that could have powered something useful elsewhere. For example, a single classroom light left on overnight can waste enough energy ②to charge dozens of phones. This habit is similar to ③leave a faucet running while you brush your teeth, where water flows out for no reason. However, when an entire school ④forms this habit together, the total amount of ⑤saved energy becomes significant.

When I finally got the chance to interview a professional webtoon artist for our school newspaper, I expected her to describe drawing as the ①easiest part of her job. Instead, she told me that writing the story comes first, often taking longer than the artwork itself. She sketches rough thumbnails for an entire chapter before touching a single detailed panel, testing whether the pacing keeps readers ②scrolling instead of losing interest halfway through. She also reads every comment section carefully, not to copy what fans suggest, but to understand which moments made readers feel something ③real. What surprised me most was learning that a single weekly episode, which takes only a few minutes to read, usually takes her nearly forty hours to ④complete from script to finished color. Her honesty made me realize that the smooth, effortless feeling of a good webtoon is actually the product of countless ⑤invisible decisions.

On January 1st, I decided to become a healthier person and wrote down three goals: exercising three times a week, reading one book every month, and sleeping before midnight. During the first week, I felt ①excited and followed my plan without any trouble. However, by the second week, I began skipping my morning jogs because I felt too ②tired after school. My friend Mina noticed that I looked discouraged, so she offered to exercise with me after class. Having a partner made the habit much ③harder to keep, and I also moved my book onto my desk instead of my phone, which helped me read every night. By the end of January, I had ④finished two books and jogged more than ten times, and I felt genuinely ⑤proud of the progress I had made.

Many students imagine a librarian simply sitting behind a desk and stamping books. Ms. Han, who has worked at a school library for over ten years, says that image is far from accurate. A large part of her job involves choosing which new books to buy, based on both student requests and current trends in youth literature. She also spends hours training students to search databases and judge whether an online source is trustworthy, a skill she considers just as important as reading itself. According to Ms. Han, the most rewarding moment is not organizing shelves but _______________. She admits that budgets are often tight and that new technology keeps changing how libraries operate.

A shocking headline can spread across social media within minutes, long before anyone checks whether it is actually true. Studies show that false stories often travel faster than accurate ones, partly because surprising or emotional claims get shared more quickly than careful, balanced reporting. To handle this flood of information, students today need a skill that previous generations rarely had to practice: checking a source before believing it. _______________. Media literacy classes now teach students to pause before they share anything, asking who wrote it and why.

Looking back at the goals I set last New Year, I can now see how much actually changed over the year. (A) I did not finish all twelve books I had planned to read, but six was still an improvement from the previous year. (B) Saving money turned out to be the hardest part, since unexpected expenses kept appearing throughout the year. (C) In addition, my exercise habit became a pleasant surprise, as jogging twice a week slowly turned into a daily morning routine.

Camping during summer vacation can be a wonderful experience if you prepare properly. (A) Next, bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and a small first aid kit to protect yourself from common outdoor problems. (B) First, pack enough water and snacks so that you stay hydrated and energized throughout the trip. (C) Finally, choose a campsite on flat, dry ground and check the weather forecast before you leave.

주어진 문장: It felt like the longest silence of my entire life. Every morning, our broadcasting club airs a short news program for the entire school. Last Tuesday, I was chosen to read the weather report for the very first time. ① My hands were shaking as the red light on the camera turned on. Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly forgot the next line completely. ② For a few seconds, only silence filled the studio, and I could hear my own heartbeat. ③ My partner Minho, who was sitting beside me, quickly slid the script closer to me. I took a deep breath and calmly continued reading from where I had stopped. ④ Somehow, my voice sounded steadier than I expected, and I finished the report smoothly. After the broadcast ended, several classmates told me they had not even noticed the pause. ⑤ That morning taught me that small mistakes rarely matter as much as we fear.

주어진 문장: In short, mistakes become valuable only when a person chooses to learn from them. When people fail to reach a goal, they often feel embarrassed and want to give up. ( ① ) However, the way a person thinks about failure can change what happens next. ( ② ) Some people believe failing means they simply lack ability, so they stop trying. Others see failure differently: they treat it as useful information that shows what needs to change. ( ③ ) For example, a student who fails a math test might later ask the teacher which questions were weak points and study those areas more carefully. ( ④ ) Over time, people who view failure as a lesson rather than a final judgment tend to keep working toward their goals, even after several setbacks. ( ⑤ )
