More and more teenagers today ①dream of starting their own business someday. Some students design and sell handmade jewelry online, while others ②create simple mobile apps as a hobby. This growing interest is partly due to the internet, ③which make it easy to reach customers without a physical store. Starting a small business also teaches skills ④that traditional classes rarely offer, such as managing money and marketing a product. Still, most teen entrepreneurs say that failure ⑤taught them more than any success did.

Building a reading habit does not usually start with a big decision to read more. It often starts with very ①small, easy steps. Some students keep a book in their bag so that they always have something to read while waiting for a bus. Others choose a fixed time each day, like right before bed, and read for just ten minutes. These small routines work because they ②increase the effort needed to begin. Once a student sits down and opens a book, continuing to read the next page feels much ③easier than the first step of starting. Experts also suggest setting a very ④low daily goal, such as one page, instead of a strict page count that feels like homework. Over weeks, these tiny actions add up, and reading slowly becomes something the student simply does, rather than something the student has to ⑤force.

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.

Willpower is like a muscle that becomes ①tired after being used too much, so people often run out of self-control by the end of a busy day. Many resolutions are unrealistic from the beginning, since people set goals that are far too ②easy to reach in a short time, and when a goal feels impossible, people quickly ③lose motivation and stop trying. Most resolutions do not offer any ④immediate reward, so people find it hard to stay motivated without seeing fast results. Understanding these reasons can help people design goals that are more ⑤realistic and rewarding.

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. (A) 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. (B) My hands were shaking as the red light on the camera turned on. Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly forgot the next line completely. For a few seconds, only silence filled the studio, and I could hear my own heartbeat. (C) 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. That morning taught me that small mistakes rarely matter as much as we fear.

Breaking a big goal into smaller pieces can make it much easier to achieve. (A) Over time, these small successes add up, just like bricks gradually forming a strong wall. (B) For example, instead of aiming to master English in a year, try learning just twenty new words in a week. (C) Completing each small step gives you a sense of success, which motivates you to keep moving forward.

This January, our school will run a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign for every student. (A) First, each student will receive a goal card in homeroom class and write one personal goal along with two steps to reach it. (B) Afterward, all the cards will be displayed on the bulletin board outside the library for everyone to see. (C) Once the card is complete, students must submit it to their homeroom teacher by January 9th.

주어진 문장: Thanks to her call, I felt understood and ready to try again. On the first day of winter break, my friend Yuna and I sat in a cafe and talked about the new year ahead. ( ① ) Instead of making separate plans, we decided to write our goals together on one sheet of paper. ( ② ) Yuna wanted to improve her English speaking, while I wanted to wake up earlier every morning. ( ③ ) We agreed to text each other every night to report what we had done that day. ( ④ ) At first, it felt exciting, but after two weeks, I began to feel tired and wanted to quit. Yuna noticed my short replies and called me instead of just texting. She reminded me why I had chosen this goal in the first place. ( ⑤ ) Because we supported each other through difficult moments, both of us successfully reached our goals by spring.
