Many students give up on their New Year goals because the goals feel too big ①to handle. A more effective approach is ②break a large goal into smaller, manageable steps.

Once you complete that small step, ④move on to the next one, and gradually build toward the bigger goal. This method works because small tasks feel achievable, and completing them ⑤gives a sense of success.

Our school's volunteer club, Helping Hands, ①tries to make small acts of kindness feel natural. Each month, students visit a nearby nursing home and spend an afternoon ②talked 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 ③donate them to a community center downtown. Some students feel nervous before their first visit, unsure of what ④to 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 ⑤caring 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.

When Suji transferred to a new school in March, she ①knew no one in her class and felt lonely during lunch and breaks. Her homeroom teacher suggested ②joining a club to make friends more easily.

Because everyone shared photos and gave friendly feedback each week, Suji gradually felt more comfortable with the other members. One rainy afternoon, a fellow member, Hana, ④invited her to photograph the flooded schoolyard together. They laughed while trying to keep their cameras dry, and that moment grew into a real friendship. By the end of the semester, Suji had a small group of friends ⑤who understood her sense of humor.

Every October, Greenfield High School holds a festival that gives every club a chance to ①shine.

Clubs that want to run a booth must apply to the student council by October 1st, since space in the gym is ②limited. The science club will present simple experiments that are both ③dangerous and exciting to watch. The art club, meanwhile, will display paintings that members have ④created throughout the semester. The cooking club plans to sell snacks prepared by its own members, and all the profits will be donated to a local shelter. Because many visitors are expected, teachers will supervise each booth carefully to keep students safe. Anyone curious about club life is warmly ⑤encouraged to visit and enjoy the festival.

Families who reduce their electricity use by more than ten percent will receive a ④discount on their next bill, which is a nice ⑤reward for their effort.

Whenever people discuss the future of reading, one debate never seems to end: e-books or paper books?
