Sorting your trash correctly is one of the simplest habits ①that protect our environment. When you separate paper, plastic, glass, and cans, recycling centers can process each material more efficiently. For example, plastic bottles should be rinsed and ②have their caps removed before being thrown away. Paper ③soaked with food or oil, however, cannot be recycled and must go into general waste. Sorting garbage is similar to organizing a closet, where each type of clothing ④have its own shelf. If items are mixed together carelessly, finding ⑤what you need later becomes difficult.

Heatstroke happens when the body's temperature ①rises too high and cannot cool itself down. To prevent heatstroke, you should drink plenty of water throughout the day, ②even if you do not feel thirsty.

Boxes should be flattened, and bottles should be ④emptied, because dirty items are hard to recycle. However, please do not leave large furniture or electronics in this area at any time.

In our elective fashion design class, the first assignment was not to sketch a beautiful outfit but to design clothing for a specific, unusual situation, such as a rainy commute or a wheelchair user's daily routine. (A) My final design looked far simpler than the elaborate sketches some classmates produced, yet our teacher praised it precisely because every choice solved a real problem the wearer would actually face. (B) Researching my chosen situation, a delivery worker who bikes through the city in all weather, changed how I approached the project entirely, since pockets needed to be reachable while cycling and waterproof fabric mattered more than decoration. (C) I initially found the assignment strange, since I had imagined fashion design as primarily about appearance rather than practical problem-solving.

Staying properly hydrated is essential during the hot summer months. (A) For example, sugary drinks and too much caffeine can actually make dehydration worse.

Minjun used to leave half of his lunch tray full of untouched rice and vegetables every day. (A) However, his teacher explained that leftover food thrown away every day adds up to a huge amount of waste. She compared uneaten food to money dropped carelessly on the street, which nobody bothers to pick up. (B) Last spring, his class started a campaign called "Clean Plate Day" to reduce food waste, but at first, Minjun thought it sounded boring and unnecessary for someone like him. (C) This comparison surprised Minjun because he had never thought about food that way before. He decided to take only what he could finish and to try new vegetables slowly. Within a few weeks, his tray was almost always empty, and he felt proud of the change. Other students noticed his effort and began doing the same thing.

주어진 문장: In other words, the item keeps its basic shape but serves a completely different purpose. Have you ever thrown away an old pair of jeans simply because they no longer fit? ① Instead of discarding them, many people now turn old items into something new and useful. This creative process, called upcycling, transforms unwanted objects into products with greater value than before. ② For example, a worn pair of jeans can be cut and sewn into a sturdy bag or a small pouch. Old wooden pallets, once used for shipping, are often rebuilt into simple furniture such as tables and shelves. ③ However, upcycling differs from ordinary recycling, which usually breaks materials down before making something new. In upcycling, the original material keeps most of its form while gaining a fresh purpose. ④ Therefore, choosing to upcycle rather than throw items away can reduce waste significantly. ⑤ This small shift in thinking allows old objects to enjoy a meaningful second life.
