Water looks endless when it flows from the tap every morning. However, clean water is actually a limited resource ①that we must protect carefully. Many families waste water without even noticing it in their daily routine. For example, leaving the tap ②running while brushing your teeth can waste several liters of water. In contrast, turning off the tap during that time saves a surprising amount of water each day. ③Taking a shorter shower are another easy habit that reduces water use significantly. Fixing a leaking faucet, ④which many people ignore, can also save hundreds of liters every month. Saving water is like keeping money in a savings account for the future. Therefore, small changes in our daily habits, practiced by every family, can protect this precious resource. Everyone ⑤who cares about the environment should start saving water today.

One Saturday morning, Jiho carried a heavy bag of old clothes to the donation box near his apartment. He had grown taller over the winter, so many shirts no longer ①fit him. At first, he almost threw the clothes into the regular trash without thinking twice. However, his older sister reminded him that clean clothes could still ②help someone else. She explained that donating clothes was like ③give a plant a second chance to grow. For example, a jacket he ④had outgrown might keep another child warm this winter. Therefore, Jiho folded each shirt neatly and ⑤placed them gently inside the box. In contrast to his first careless idea, he now felt genuinely happy about his choice. Walking home, Jiho realized that small actions could create meaningful change for others.

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 ①accurate. 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 ②training 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 watching a student who once avoided reading ③refuse to ask for a second book in the same series. She admits that budgets are often ④tight and that new technology keeps changing how libraries operate. Still, she insists that the core purpose of her job has never changed: connecting each reader with the right book at the right ⑤time.

Stairs seem too ordinary to be dangerous, which is why many people treat them carelessly, texting, carrying an armful of books, or skipping two steps at a time. Emergency room records tell a different story: _______________. Familiarity encourages a kind of autopilot mode, in which a person stops looking at each step and instead relies on memory of where the stairs should be.

Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know what these marks mean. Each symbol _______________. For instance, the number one usually stands for clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. Reading these marks is similar to reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Without checking the label, you might buy something unhealthy by mistake. Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a reusable item straight to a landfill. Some marks even show that a material cannot be recycled at all, so it must be sorted separately. Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more effective for everyone involved.

Yuna bought a disposable coffee cup every morning on her way to school. She never thought about where those cups ended up after she threw them away. One day, her science teacher showed the class a photo of a beach covered with plastic cups and bottles. Yuna felt shocked because she realized _______________. That evening, she found an old tumbler hidden in a kitchen drawer and decided to use it every day. At first, carrying the tumbler felt inconvenient, and she often forgot to bring it to school. However, she kept a reminder note on her bag, which helped her remember it each morning. Within a month, using the tumbler had become as natural as brushing her teeth. Her friends noticed the change and asked where she had bought the tumbler.

Dear residents, this notice explains how to use our apartment recycling area correctly. The recycling area, located behind the main entrance, is open every day from six to ten in the evening. First, _______________ before dropping them off. Boxes should be flattened, and bottles should be emptied, because dirty items are hard to recycle. However, please do not leave large furniture or electronics in this area at any time. Instead, contact the management office to arrange a separate pickup for those bulky items. For example, broken chairs and old refrigerators require a special sticker before collection. In contrast to ordinary trash, recyclable materials must never be mixed together in one bag. Following these simple rules keeps our shared space tidy for every family.

주어진 문장: She worried that the other members might already know each other well. Last spring, Mina joined the school environmental club because she wanted to make a difference. At first, she felt nervous about speaking in front of the other members. ① However, the club leader, who had been recycling for years, welcomed her warmly. ② Every Friday, the members walked around the school picking up trash near the playground. Mina soon realized that this weekly habit was like watering a small plant every day. ③ For example, a single plastic bottle left outside could take hundreds of years to disappear. Therefore, the club decided to place clear recycling bins in every classroom. ④ In contrast to her early doubts, Mina began to feel proud of the changes she noticed. Her classmates started separating cans and paper without being reminded by teachers. ⑤ By the end of the semester, Mina had become an active member.

This small difference in preparation determines whether an item can be reused or simply thrown away as waste. Sorting your trash correctly is one of the simplest habits that protect our environment. ① When you separate paper, plastic, glass, and cans, recycling centers can process each material more efficiently. ② 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. ③ 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. ④ 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. ⑤ Therefore, learning these basic rules now helps you build a habit that benefits your entire community.

주어진 문장: For example, small button batteries from watches and toys can also be dropped in the box. 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. ① If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. ② Therefore, our building has installed a special collection box for used batteries near the main entrance. ③ Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. ④ The box, which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone to use. ⑤ 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.
