Have you ever wondered why some people stay motivated while others give up quickly? The answer often lies in whether they have a clear goal. When people have no specific goal, they usually feel confused about where ①to start, and their interest fades within days. For example, a student who simply decides ②to 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, ③knows exactly what to do every day. This clarity creates strong motivation because the brain naturally ④focus on a clear target. A clear goal also makes progress easy to measure, and noticing small improvements keeps people ⑤encouraged to continue.

Walking through the old industrial district downtown, I ①noticed that a gray concrete wall had been transformed overnight into a wild swirl of color, letters, and cartoon figures. Some residents complained to the city office, ②calling it vandalism and demanding that workers paint over it immediately. Others argued that the same wall had been an ugly, forgotten eyesore for years, and that the graffiti artist had simply given it a voice no one else ③bothered to give it. This disagreement reveals a tension at the heart of street art: without permission, even a skillful and thoughtful piece can ④labeling a crime, yet many cities now invite graffiti artists to paint designated walls legally. The line between vandalism and art, it seems, often depends less on the paint itself than on who ⑤gave permission to use the wall.

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. My friend Somin dragged me toward the robotics club, insisting it would suit me. However, the long list of coding projects looked too ①complicated for a beginner. Just then, I noticed a ②quiet table where students were sketching posters together. A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club ③rejected complete beginners. She showed me a sketchbook filled with simple drawings by first-year members. Her gentle voice made me feel ④relaxed 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 ⑤belonged in this new school.

Our photography club meets every Thursday, and our advisor always repeats the same instruction before we leave campus: put the camera down for the first ten minutes and simply look around. At first this rule ①frustrated me, since I had joined the club specifically to take pictures, not to stand around empty-handed. Over time, though, I noticed that the members who followed her advice most closely tended to bring back the most ②interesting photographs. Instead of snapping dozens of rushed shots of the first flower or building they saw, they ③rushed toward a specific moment, a shadow falling at the right angle or a stranger's unplanned gesture, and captured only that. A camera, our advisor explained, cannot teach a person what is worth noticing; it can only ④record what the photographer has already decided matters. Learning to look carefully, it turns out, is a skill that develops long before a finger ever touches the ⑤shutter button.

At first, Minjun thought the campaign sounded ①boring and unnecessary for someone like him. However, his teacher explained that leftover food thrown away every day adds up to a ②huge amount of waste. This comparison ③surprised Minjun because he had never thought about food that way before. Within a few weeks, his tray was almost always ④full, and he felt ⑤proud of the change.

Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment. Used batteries, which contain harmful chemicals, should never be thrown away with regular trash. If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. Therefore, _______________. Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. The box, which is emptied every month, is easy 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 working should not be thrown away at all. We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood clean and safe. Thank you for your cooperation and kindness.

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.

Many students imagine a librarian simply sitting behind a desk and stamping books. (A) According to Ms. Han, the most rewarding moment is not organizing shelves but watching a student who once avoided reading finally ask for a second book in the same series. (B) Ms. Han, who has worked at a school library for over ten years, says that image is far from accurate, since a large part of her job involves choosing which new books to buy. (C) 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.

주어진 문장: So even complete beginners are always welcome to join us. Are you curious about capturing special moments around our school? The Photography Club is now looking for new members for this semester. ① We meet every Wednesday afternoon in Room 204, right after regular classes end. No experience is required, since senior members always teach the basics of using a camera. ② Each month, we choose a simple theme and take pictures together around the campus. ③ At the end of the semester, we hold a small exhibition to share our favorite photos. Members are also expected to bring their own camera or smartphone to every meeting. ④ If you enjoy taking pictures or want to try something new, please visit our booth this Friday. ⑤ Feel free to ask any current member if you have questions about joining.

Sometimes the leader also brings up a surprising detail that no one else noticed. Our school's book club, Page Turners, meets every Wednesday to discuss a book the members chose. ( ① ) At the start of each month, students suggest titles and vote to pick one. This way, everyone feels some ownership over what the club reads next. ( ② ) Before each meeting, members read several chapters and prepare a few questions. During the meeting, the leader opens discussion by asking a question about the story's main idea. ( ③ ) Then members take turns sharing their opinions, even when they disagree with each other. For example, students once argued for a long time about a character's difficult choice. ( ④ ) Such debates, though sometimes loud, help members understand different points of view. At the end of the semester, the club holds an event to recommend favorite books. ( ⑤ ) Through this process, reading becomes less like homework and more like a shared conversation.
