First, always swim in areas ③that are supervised by a lifeguard, and never swim alone even if you are a strong swimmer, because emergencies ④can happen quickly. Finally, learning basic rescue skills ⑤allows you to help others in an emergency.

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

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.

Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. Choosing these books is not as simple as picking ①well-known titles. Teachers must think about a wide range of student interests, not just their own favorites. A good list should also include stories from ②different cultures and different kinds of characters, so that every student can find someone to relate to. Reading level matters too; a book that is too difficult can make a student ③give up on reading altogether, while a book that is too easy may feel boring. Teachers often ask students for feedback after they finish a book, and they slowly update the list based on what students actually ④ignored. In the end, the best recommended list is not fixed forever; it keeps changing to match the readers it is meant to ⑤serve.

Jihun made a resolution to study English for two hours every day, and for the first three days, he followed his plan ①poorly and felt proud of himself. On the fourth day, however, he skipped his study time because he was too ②exhausted, and within a week, his resolution had disappeared. Feeling ③disappointed, Jihun talked to his older sister, who suggested that he try a smaller, more ④realistic goal instead of a large one. This small goal felt much less overwhelming, so he ⑤managed to keep it every day for a month.

The student council reminds all club members about the rules for using the club activity room. First, every club must sign up for a time slot on the reservation sheet. Members should arrive on time and leave the room within ten minutes after their activity ends. Because several clubs share the same space, food and drinks are not ①allowed inside the room. Members must also return chairs and tables to their ②original positions before leaving. If equipment is ③broken or missing, the club leader should report it to the teacher. Clubs that ④follow these rules may lose their reservation for the following month. Please also remember to turn off the lights and lock the door carefully. These simple habits will keep the room ⑤clean and available for everyone.

This workbook is designed to help you set meaningful goals for the new year, so please read the instructions carefully before you begin. First, turn to page one and write down one goal you truly want to achieve this year, and then ___________. On page two, break your goal into four smaller monthly steps, using the space provided for each month. Then, use the weekly checklist on page three to track your progress every Sunday.

Turning off lights when you leave a room seems like a tiny action, but _______________. Every light left on in an empty room wastes electricity that could have powered something useful elsewhere. For example, a single classroom light left on overnight can waste enough energy to charge dozens of phones. This habit is similar to leaving a faucet running while you brush your teeth, where water flows out for no reason. Both actions seem harmless in the moment, but they add up to a serious waste over time. Some students argue that a single light does not make much difference. However, when an entire school forms this habit together, the total amount of saved energy becomes significant. Therefore, this small daily habit can create a surprisingly large positive effect for the whole planet.

Seatbelts are so woven into the experience of riding in a car that many passengers buckle them without thinking, yet a surprising number of teenagers still skip them for short trips, assuming that a five-minute drive to a friend's house does not carry much risk. (A) In a collision, a body traveling at a moderate speed continues moving forward at that same speed until something stops it, and without a seatbelt, that something is often the windshield or the dashboard. (B) Traffic safety data tell a different story: most fatal crashes occur within a few kilometers of home, on roads drivers know so well that they let their guard down. (C) A seatbelt spreads the force of a sudden stop across the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips and chest, instead of concentrating it on the head and neck.

Choosing the right club can shape how a student feels about school life. Many first-graders join a club simply because their friends are joining it. (A) It also helps to think about how much time each club actually requires. Some clubs meet only once a week, while others practice almost every day. (B) However, experts suggest that personal interest should always come before friendship. A club that matches your interest keeps you motivated during a busy exam period. (C) Skill level matters too, since a few clubs accept only experienced students. For this reason, most schools allow a short trial period before a final decision. During this period, new members can attend meetings without officially signing up. In the end, a good club should feel like a comfortable break from academic pressure.
