When summer vacation began, I decided to make a daily schedule so that I would not waste my free time. At first, my plan was too strict, with study sessions ①packed back to back and almost no breaks. After only three days, I felt exhausted and ②gave up on the schedule completely. My older sister suggested that I ③make a more realistic plan instead. I also learned to include short breaks between tasks, since resting actually ④helps me focus better afterward. Since making these changes, I ⑤has been able to follow my schedule much more consistently.

Jimin joined the school band club in March, but she ①had never performed before an audience. The club's first concert was only two weeks away, and everyone felt nervous. During practice, her hands shook whenever the song reached the chorus, and she kept missing the same chord. Instead of laughing at her mistakes, the other members waited patiently and ②playing the section again with her. The drummer, Suho, suggested that she ③focus on just one part at a time. Slowly, her fingers grew more confident, and the chord ④that once felt impossible began to feel natural. The club practiced until the melody sounded smooth the night before the concert. When Jimin walked onto the stage, she thought of her friends' patience instead of her fear. The audience clapped warmly, and she realized ⑤her club's support had made the difference.

Last Saturday, the temperature outside reached almost thirty-eight degrees, so my family ①decided to stay indoors for the entire day. In the morning, we visited a nearby indoor climbing gym, ②where I learned some basic climbing techniques from an instructor. After lunch, we went to a small museum that ③having a special exhibition about ocean animals. My younger brother was especially excited ④to see the huge whale model hanging from the ceiling. In the afternoon, we played board games at a cafe ⑤that offered dozens of different games to choose from.

For the first week, she woke up early and ran ①happily, feeling proud of her new habit. However, after a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping, and soon she stopped running altogether, which made her feel ②confident about her progress. By February, she felt disappointed and believed she simply lacked willpower. They realized that running before sunrise in freezing weather had been too ③difficult to maintain. So Minji changed her plan and decided to run after school instead, when the weather was ④warmer and she had more energy. She kept running three times a week, and by spring, she had grown much stronger and more ⑤positive.

Strong summer sunlight can ①seriously damage your skin if you are not careful. To protect your skin, apply sunscreen with a high SPF before going outside, and ②reapply it every two hours. Try to stay in the shade between eleven in the morning and three in the afternoon, when UV rays are ③weakest. After spending time outdoors, cool your skin with a damp towel and apply a moisturizer to prevent ④dryness. These simple habits will help keep your skin ⑤healthy throughout the summer.

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. My hands were ①steady as the red light on the camera turned on. Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly ②forgot the next line completely. For a few seconds, only ③silence filled the studio, and I could hear my own heartbeat. My partner Minho, who was sitting beside me, quickly slid the script closer to me. I took a deep breath and ④calmly continued reading from where I had stopped. Somehow, my voice sounded ⑤steadier 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.

Many students who reach their goals share one habit: they picture the goal clearly before they even start working. This process, called visualization, means imagining a goal in detail, often by drawing pictures or writing specific descriptions. For example, a student who dreams of studying abroad might make a board filled with photos of a foreign campus and a list of steps to get there. Seeing these images every day keeps the goal fresh in mind, and researchers have found that this simple habit works because ___________.

Looking back at the goals I set last New Year, I can now see how much actually changed over the year. (A) I did not finish all twelve books I had planned to read, but six was still an improvement from the previous year. (B) Saving money turned out to be the hardest part, since unexpected expenses kept appearing throughout the year. (C) In addition, my exercise habit became a pleasant surprise, as jogging twice a week slowly turned into a daily morning routine.

This loss, many say, is not simply about the words themselves but about a physical sense of place within the story. Whenever people discuss the future of reading, one debate never seems to end: e-books or paper books? ( ① ) Supporters of e-books point out that a single device can hold thousands of titles, which makes traveling with a full library incredibly light. Readers can also change the font size, look up a word instantly, and carry their entire collection in one bag. ( ② ) Fans of paper books, however, argue that something important is lost on a screen. ( ③ ) Many readers say they remember a paper book's plot more clearly, perhaps because they recall where a scene appeared on the page. ( ④ ) Screens also invite distraction, since a single notification can pull a reader away from the story in seconds. ( ⑤ ) Interestingly, several recent surveys suggest that most young readers do not choose one format forever. Instead, they switch between paper and digital depending on the situation, treating the debate less as a contest and more as a matter of convenience.
