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

The Hopeful Start Workshop will be held on January 10th at the Green Hill Community Center, and this event helps students set ①clear and realistic goals for the new year. The workshop will run from two to four in the afternoon, and participants will learn simple methods for writing goals that are specific and ②easy to measure. Each participant will receive a goal-planning notebook to use throughout the year. The workshop is ③open to all middle and high school students, and no experience is required. Registration is ④free, but seats are limited to thirty people, so early sign-up is recommended, and students can register ⑤offline through the center's website or by calling the front desk before January 8th.

Every spring, the art club at Sejong High School creates one large mural ①together instead of individual paintings. The process begins with a session where members suggest themes and vote on their favorite idea. Once a theme is chosen, the club divides into small teams, each responsible for one section of the wall. One team sketches the outline while another mixes colors to match the design. Communication becomes ②unnecessary at this stage, since each section must connect smoothly with the ones beside it. If one team paints too dark a shade, the whole picture can look ③unbalanced. Therefore, members ④regularly step back to compare their section with the rest of the mural. After several weekends, the teams combine their sections into a single image. The finished mural is displayed near the entrance, reminding everyone what ⑤cooperation can achieve.

One Saturday morning, Jiho carried a heavy bag of old clothes to the donation box near his apartment. He had grown taller over the winter, so many shirts no longer fit him. At first, he almost threw the clothes into the regular trash without thinking twice. However, his older sister reminded him that clean clothes could still help someone else. She explained that donating clothes was like giving a plant a second chance to grow. For example, a jacket he had outgrown might keep another child warm this winter. Therefore, Jiho folded each shirt neatly and placed them gently inside the box. In contrast to his first careless idea, he now felt genuinely happy about his choice. Walking home, Jiho realized that _______________.

Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know what these marks mean. Each symbol _______________. For instance, the number one usually stands for clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. Reading these marks is similar to reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Without checking the label, you might buy something unhealthy by mistake. Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a reusable item straight to a landfill. Some marks even show that a material cannot be recycled at all, so it must be sorted separately. Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more effective for everyone involved.

Building a reading habit does not usually start with a big decision to read more. (A) It often starts with very small, easy steps, such as keeping a book in a bag or choosing a fixed time each day to read for just ten minutes. (B) These small routines work because they lower the effort needed to begin; once a student opens a book, continuing to read feels much easier than starting did. (C) Over weeks, these tiny actions add up, and reading slowly becomes something the student simply does, rather than something the student has to force.

In their view, reading a caption or a text message still counts as reading, even if it looks very different from reading a novel. Many teachers and parents worry that today's teenagers are losing the ability to read long, complex texts. ( ① ) National test scores show a slow decline in reading comprehension over the past ten years, and some experts blame smartphones and short videos for shortening students' attention spans. ( ② ) Other researchers disagree with this simple explanation. ( ③ ) They point out that teenagers today read constantly, just in different forms, such as text messages, captions, and online articles. ( ④ ) According to this view, the real problem is not that students read less overall, but that they rarely practice reading long passages without any interruption. ( ⑤ ) A team of researchers recently found that students who read at least one full book every month scored noticeably higher on comprehension tests than students who mainly read short online posts, which suggests that the format of reading, rather than simple screen time, may be the more important factor behind the changing scores.

Learners can pause a lecture, rewind it, and watch it again until the concept becomes clear. Online courses have become a popular way for students to learn practical job skills outside of school. ( ① ) Platforms now offer classes on coding, video editing, graphic design, and even small business management. ( ② ) Unlike traditional classes, these courses let learners study at their own pace and repeat difficult lessons as many times as needed. ( ③ ) Many courses also include practical projects, so students can build a portfolio while they learn. ( ④ ) However, taking an online course requires strong self-discipline, since no teacher checks whether students are keeping up. ( ⑤ ) Experts recommend setting a fixed weekly schedule and finishing small assignments regularly.

Yet the more she corrected them, the quieter the room became. Last month, our class began practicing for the school choir contest, but rehearsals quickly turned tense. ( ① ) Minji, who had the loudest voice, kept correcting other members in the middle of songs. ( ② ) Several students felt hurt and began skipping practice, saying it felt more like criticism than teamwork. Our music teacher noticed the empty seats and asked what was happening. ( ③ ) Minji explained that she only wanted the group to sound perfect. However, Junho said her tone made people afraid to sing at all. ( ④ ) After an awkward silence, Minji admitted she had never noticed how her words affected others. So the class tried something new: each member shared one compliment before rehearsal began. ( ⑤ ) Slowly, the tension faded and attendance returned to normal. On the day of the contest, the choir sang together with real confidence and earned second place.

This wasted electricity, though invisible, still comes from real power plants that burn fuel. Turning off lights when you leave a room seems like a tiny action, but it saves more energy than most people expect. ① Every light left on in an empty room wastes electricity that could have powered something useful elsewhere. ② 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. ③ 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. ④ However, when an entire school forms this habit together, the total amount of saved energy becomes significant. ⑤ Therefore, this small daily habit can create a surprisingly large positive effect for the whole planet.
