Students often groan when a classic novel appears on their reading list, ①complains that the language feels old-fashioned and the plot moves too slowly. It is true that classic literature can be harder to read than a modern bestseller ②written in casual, everyday language. Yet this very difficulty is part of why classics remain valuable for young readers today. Working through unfamiliar sentence patterns and vocabulary trains the brain ③to handle complex texts, a skill that transfers directly to other subjects and to standardized tests. Beyond language training, classic novels also explore themes such as jealousy, ambition, and loss that ④have not changed much across centuries. Readers often discover that a character written hundreds of years ago struggles with feelings that still ⑤feel familiar today.

Summer vacation is a great time ①go camping with family or friends. First, pack enough water and snacks, since staying hydrated and energized ②is essential in hot weather. Second, bring sunscreen and insect repellent ③to protect your skin from sunburn and bug bites. In addition, check the weather forecast before you leave, and choose a campsite ④that is safe from flooding. Make sure your tent is set up on flat, dry ground away from trees ⑤that could fall in strong wind.

Have you ever thrown away an old pair of jeans simply because they no longer fit? Instead of ①discarding them, many people now turn old items into something new and useful. This creative process, ②called upcycling, transforms unwanted objects into products with greater value than before. For example, a worn pair of jeans can be cut and sewn into a sturdy bag or a small pouch. Old wooden pallets, ③once using for shipping, are often rebuilt into simple furniture such as tables and shelves. However, upcycling differs from ordinary recycling, ④which usually breaks materials down before making something new. In upcycling, the original material keeps most of its form while ⑤gaining a fresh purpose.

Sunny Beach Rentals is now open for the summer season, offering a wide range of water equipment at ①affordable daily rates. To rent equipment, visitors simply need to show identification and pay a small deposit, which is fully ②kept when the items are returned in good condition. Equipment is checked carefully before and after each use to ensure everything remains ③clean and safe. Renters are asked to return all items by six in the evening, since the shop closes shortly after ④sunset. Damaged equipment must be reported ⑤immediately so that it can be replaced quickly.

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 ①strict, with study sessions packed back to back and almost no breaks. After only three days, I felt exhausted and gave up on the schedule completely. My older sister recommended setting two or three main goals for each day rather than filling every single hour, which sounded much more ②relaxed. I also learned to include short breaks between tasks, since resting actually ③helps me focus better afterward. Since making these changes, I have been able to follow my schedule much more ④consistently, and my vacation has become both productive and ⑤stressful.

Whenever people discuss the future of reading, one debate never seems to end: e-books or paper books? Supporters of e-books point out that a single device can hold ①thousands of titles, which makes traveling with a full library incredibly ②light. Readers can also change the font size, look up a word instantly, and carry their entire collection in one bag. Fans of paper books, however, argue that something important is ③lost on a screen. Many readers say they remember a paper book's plot more clearly, perhaps because they ④recall where a scene appeared on the page. Screens also invite distraction, since a single notification can pull a reader ⑤closer to the story in seconds. 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.

My grandmother keeps a wooden cabinet filled with tiny furniture, each piece no larger than a fingernail, that she has been building for over a decade as a miniature hobby. When I first saw the cabinet, I assumed the appeal was simply how ①impressively small and precise the pieces looked. Talking with her while she worked, though, I learned that the real challenge lies in imagining an entire, believable world at a scale the eye can barely process, deciding where a miniature family might set down a teacup or leave a chair pulled slightly away from the table. She once spent three weekends carving a single tiny bookshelf, only to leave two of its shelves deliberately ②empty, explaining that a completely full room would look ③lived-in rather than staged. That small decision taught me that miniature craft is not primarily about ④precision, but about convincingly imagining an ordinary life small enough to fit inside a ⑤shoebox.

Students who read many books across many different subjects often develop a habit that quieter learners sometimes lack: the habit of comparing new information with what they already know. (A) A student who has read about ancient wars, ocean ecosystems, and modern economics can more easily notice when two different subjects share a similar pattern. (B) This kind of connection-making is closely related to what psychologists call critical thinking, since seeing a familiar pattern in an unfamiliar topic allows a person to ask sharper questions instead of accepting new information at face value. (C) Extensive reading also builds a large mental library of examples, and teachers often notice that widely read students argue more carefully, supporting their opinions with specific examples rather than vague generalizations.

주어진 문장: Still, reading six books was better than the year before, and I felt proud of that small progress. Last New Year's Day, I wrote three goals in my diary: reading more books, exercising regularly, and saving money for a bicycle. ( ① ) Today, exactly one year later, I opened that old page and smiled at how much had changed. ( ② ) I did not finish all twelve books I had planned to read. ( ③ ) My exercise habit became the biggest surprise, since jogging twice a week slowly became an almost daily morning habit. ( ④ ) Saving money was harder than I expected, since unexpected expenses kept appearing. ( ⑤ ) Looking back, I realized that steady effort matters more than reaching every goal exactly as planned.

주어진 문장: In contrast, a cloth bag can be used again and again for many years. Attention, students and teachers! Our school is starting a new campaign called 'Bring Your Own Bag.' ① Starting next Monday, the school store will no longer offer free plastic bags to customers. ② Instead, we encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home. ③ Plastic bags, which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. ④ Therefore, using a reusable bag is a simple habit that protects sea animals and reduces pollution. ⑤ For example, students who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. However, students who forget their bags may still purchase a paper bag for a small fee. We hope every student will join this easy and meaningful campaign. Thank you for helping our school become greener.
