Attention all club leaders: applications for the club budget are now open. If your club wants support for materials, events, or competitions, please follow the steps below. First, download the budget request form from the school website and ①fill in your club's name, purpose, and requested amount. Second, attach a short plan ②explaining how the money will be used, since forms without a clear plan will not be reviewed. Third, submit the completed form to the teacher in charge of student activities by August 14th. Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted. Once submitted, each request will be reviewed by the budget committee, ③which meets every Friday. Approved clubs will receive their funds within two weeks, and results ④will be posted on the club bulletin board. Please contact Mr. Han in the activities office if you ⑤has any questions.

Two years ago, I ①began volunteering at an animal shelter near my neighborhood on weekends. My tasks included feeding animals, cleaning cages, and ②help visitors choose a pet to adopt. Over time, I noticed how much I enjoyed calming nervous or injured animals. One rainy afternoon, a frightened puppy ③refused to eat, and I sat quietly beside it for over an hour until it finally relaxed. Watching the puppy trust me changed something inside me, ④which led me to research careers in veterinary medicine. My volunteer work, ⑤which started as a simple hobby, slowly turned into the clearest career direction I had ever found.

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.

Three years ago, he was a ①shy sophomore who dreamed of becoming a science teacher but doubted his own grades. He wrote down this single goal in his notebook and read it every morning before class. Instead of studying everything at once, he ②focused on one weak subject each month and asked his teachers for extra help. There were many moments when he wanted to ③give up, especially before difficult exams. However, he kept reminding himself why he had started. Today, Minho is studying to become a science teacher at university, proving that steady effort truly ④pays off, and his story continues to ⑤discourage his junior students.

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.

주어진 문장: In other words, the record shows how a student thought and acted, not merely which club they joined. Many students wonder why club activities matter so much for their school life record, a document that summarizes what a student did during each semester. ① Whenever students take part in a club, their teacher writes a short note describing what role they played and how they grew. ② For example, a student who organized a club exhibition might be described as someone who showed strong leadership and creativity. These notes are not simply a list of activities; they explain the process behind each achievement. ③ Therefore, admissions officers at universities read the record carefully to understand a student's genuine interests, not just their grades. In contrast, a club membership with no real participation rarely leaves a meaningful impression. ④ This is why teachers encourage students to take an active role rather than joining a club only for its name. ⑤

This convenience gap between renting the scooter itself and preparing to ride it safely explains a great deal. Electric scooters have become a common sight on city sidewalks, offering a quick way to cover short distances, yet most riders climb on without ever putting on a helmet. ( ① ) Part of the problem is that renting a scooter takes only a few taps on a phone screen, while finding and carrying a helmet requires planning that many riders simply skip. ( ② ) Emergency room doctors note that scooter-related head injuries have risen sharply in recent years, closely tracking the rise in scooter popularity itself. ( ③ ) Unlike a bicycle, which typically requires balance skills built up over years of practice, an electric scooter can reach a surprising speed within seconds, often faster than new riders expect from something that looks simple to operate. ( ④ ) A fall at that speed, onto pavement rather than grass, can cause a head injury just as severe as one from a bicycle or a small motorcycle. ( ⑤ ) Cities that have begun requiring helmets for scooter rentals report a measurable drop in serious injuries.

Students who treat their plan as fixed forever may feel unnecessarily anxious when their goals shift. Setting a career plan early in high school offers several important benefits. ( ① ) First, having a general direction helps students choose subjects and activities that support their goals, instead of picking them randomly. ( ② ) Second, a plan gives students a sense of purpose, which can make schoolwork feel more meaningful rather than simply a routine task. ( ③ ) However, an effective career plan should remain flexible, since interests and circumstances often change during the teenage years. ( ④ ) Career counselors therefore recommend reviewing a plan every few months and adjusting it based on new experiences. ( ⑤ ) In this way, careful planning does not limit a student's future; instead, it provides a clear yet adaptable path toward genuine personal growth and long-term satisfaction.

That small imperfection, more than anything, was proof of how much I had actually learned that day. For my birthday, my older sister took me to a small pottery studio where visitors can shape their own bowl or cup on a spinning wheel. ( ① ) I expected the wheel to do most of the difficult work automatically, since it was already spinning quickly by the time I sat down. ( ② ) My first attempt collapsed into a shapeless lump within seconds, because I had not realized how much steady, centered pressure the clay actually requires before it can be shaped at all. ( ③ ) The instructor explained that beginners almost always press too hard on one side, which throws the entire piece off balance no matter how fast or slow the wheel spins. ( ④ ) After nearly a dozen failed attempts, I finally produced a lopsided but recognizable cup, and the small imperfection along its rim somehow made me prouder of it than a perfectly smooth, machine-made mug ever could have. ( ⑤ ) Clay, I learned that afternoon, rewards patience far more generously than it rewards force.

Ironically, it is often the shortest and most familiar stretch of the route that proves the most dangerous. For many students, the walk to school feels so routine that safety becomes an afterthought, yet a surprising number of accidents occur within a few blocks of the school gate. ( ① ) Part of the danger comes from convenience: students often cut across a busy street rather than walking the extra minute to the nearest crosswalk, assuming they can judge the traffic gap correctly. ( ② ) This shortcut becomes especially risky during the darker months, when a driver's ability to spot a pedestrian drops sharply well before sunrise or after sunset. ( ③ ) Wearing dark clothing during these hours can make a student almost invisible until a car is dangerously close. ( ④ ) Simple choices, such as using a marked crosswalk, waiting for the pedestrian signal, and adding something reflective to a backpack, cost only a few extra seconds each morning. ( ⑤ ) Traffic safety officials argue that these small habits, repeated daily, do more to prevent injury than any single safety campaign ever could.
