Many students think that reading a book quietly by themselves is enough, but book discussion classes add something that solo reading cannot ①provide. When students explain their ideas out loud, they often discover thoughts they did not even know they had. Teachers who use discussion classes report that students ②remember plot details and themes far longer than students who only read silently and take a quiz afterward. This happens because talking about a book forces the brain ③organizing scattered impressions into a clear argument. Discussion also teaches students ④to listen carefully, since they must respond directly to classmates instead of simply waiting for their own turn to speak. For these reasons, many schools are now adding weekly discussion sessions to their reading programs, even for short stories that used to be ⑤assigned only as silent homework.

Whenever people discuss the future of reading, one debate never ①seem to end: e-books or paper books? Supporters of e-books point out that a single device can hold thousands of titles, which ②makes traveling with a full library incredibly light. Readers can also change the font size, look up a word instantly, and carry their entire collection in one bag. Fans of paper books, however, argue that something important ③is lost on a screen. Many readers say they remember a paper book's plot more clearly, perhaps because they recall where a scene ④appeared on the page. Screens also invite distraction, since a single notification can pull a reader away from the story in seconds. Interestingly, several recent surveys suggest that most young readers do not choose one format forever. Instead, they switch between paper and digital depending on the situation, ⑤treating the debate less as a contest and more as a matter of convenience.

The Hopeful Start Workshop will be held on January 10th at the Green Hill Community Center. This event ①helps students set clear and realistic goals for the new year. Participants will learn simple methods for ②writing goals that are specific and easy to measure. Each participant will receive a goal-planning notebook ③to use throughout the year. The workshop is open to all middle and high school students, and no experience ④are required. Students can register online through the center's website or by ⑤calling the front desk before January 8th.

Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment. Used batteries, which contain ①harmful chemicals, should never be thrown away with regular trash. If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. Therefore, our building has ②installed a special collection box for used batteries near the main entrance. Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. The box, which is emptied every month, is ③easy for anyone to use. For example, small button batteries from watches and toys can also be dropped in the box. However, batteries that are still ④broken should not be thrown away at all. We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood ⑤clean and safe. Thank you for your cooperation and kindness.

On the first day of winter break, my friend Yuna and I sat in a cafe and talked about the new year ahead. Instead of making separate plans, we decided to write our goals ①together on one sheet of paper. At first, it felt ②exciting, but after two weeks, I began to feel tired and wanted to quit. Yuna noticed my short replies and ③ignored me instead of just texting. She reminded me why I had chosen this goal in the first place, and her words gave me new ④energy. Because we supported each other through difficult moments, both of us successfully ⑤reached our goals by spring.

Sorting your trash correctly is _______________. When you separate paper, plastic, glass, and cans, recycling centers can process each material more efficiently. For example, plastic bottles should be rinsed and have their caps removed before being thrown away. Paper soaked with food or oil, however, cannot be recycled and must go into general waste. Sorting garbage is similar to organizing a closet, where each type of clothing has its own shelf. If items are mixed together carelessly, finding what you need later becomes difficult. Likewise, mixing recyclables with ordinary trash makes the whole recycling process complicated. Many students believe that sorting trash takes too much time, but it actually requires only a few extra seconds. Therefore, learning these basic rules now helps you build a habit that benefits your entire community.

Every day, people throw away piles of used paper without thinking about where it goes. However, most of that paper does not have to end up in a landfill. Instead, it can travel to a recycling factory and _______________. First, workers collect old newspapers, boxes, and notebooks left in recycling bins. These papers are then soaked in water and turned into soft, mushy pulp. You can think of this process like breaking a cookie back into flour and water. For example, ink and small pieces of plastic are removed from the pulp during this stage. The clean pulp is pressed into thin sheets and dried in large machines. Therefore, a wrinkled old newspaper can be reborn as clean white paper. In contrast to throwing paper away, recycling it saves trees and reduces waste.

Dear residents, we are writing to explain how to separate food waste correctly in our building. Many people still throw food waste into the general trash, which causes bad smells. Therefore, this notice describes the exact steps you should follow every day. First, please use _______________ for all food scraps. Fruit peels, vegetable ends, and leftover rice belong in this bin, not in a plastic bag. However, hard items such as eggshells and bones must go into the general trash instead. In addition, please drain excess liquid from your food waste before throwing it away. This simple habit, which only takes a few seconds, keeps the area clean and dry. For example, tea bags should never be placed in the food waste bin. Thank you for helping our neighborhood stay pleasant.

Our school's volunteer club, Helping Hands, tries to _______________. Each month, students visit a nearby nursing home and spend an afternoon talking with elderly residents. For example, they read newspapers aloud or just listen to old stories from the residents. In addition, members collect used books and toys from classmates and donate them to a community center downtown. Some students feel nervous before their first visit, unsure of what to say to strangers. However, most discover that a warm smile works better than perfect words. Therefore, the club's real goal is not just finishing hours for a report card. Instead, it teaches members that caring for others grows into a lasting habit, like watering a plant daily. By the end of the year, many students say the club changed how they see their community.

Summer heat can be just as dangerous for pets as it is for people, because ___________. Owners must therefore provide plenty of fresh water, avoid walking pets during the hottest hours, and never leave them alone in a parked car.
