On the first day of the club fair, the gym was filled with noise and color. Every table had a banner, and members called out to new first-graders like me. My friend Somin dragged me toward the robotics club, insisting it would suit me. However, the long list of coding projects looked too ① complicated for a beginner. Just then, I noticed a ② quiet table where students were sketching posters together. A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club ③ rejected complete beginners. She showed me a sketchbook filled with simple drawings by first-year members. Her gentle voice made me feel ④ relaxed for the first time that day.

In reality, a few simple actions, such as applying ② steady pressure to a bleeding wound or keeping an unconscious person's airway clear, can prevent a minor injury from becoming a life-threatening one. Waiting passively for an ambulance, rather than doing anything at all, is often the more ③ dangerous choice, since every minute without basic care allows a treatable injury to worsen. Of course, first aid is never a ④ substitute for professional medical treatment, and it should never replace an emergency call. Even so, schools that offer first aid training report that students respond far more ⑤ nervously and effectively during real emergencies.

(B) Safety experts consistently teach the same three steps: drop to the ground, take cover under sturdy furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops.

Ironically, it is often the shortest and most familiar stretch of the route that proves the most dangerous. For many students, the walk to school feels so routine that safety becomes an afterthought, yet a surprising number of accidents occur within a few blocks of the school gate. ( ① ) Part of the danger comes from convenience: students often cut across a busy street rather than walking the extra minute to the nearest crosswalk, assuming they can judge the traffic gap correctly. ( ② ) This shortcut becomes especially risky during the darker months, when a driver's ability to spot a pedestrian drops sharply well before sunrise or after sunset. ( ③ ) Wearing dark clothing during these hours can make a student almost invisible until a car is dangerously close. ( ④ ) Simple choices, such as using a marked crosswalk, waiting for the pedestrian signal, and adding something reflective to a backpack, cost only a few extra seconds each morning. ( ⑤ ) Traffic safety officials argue that these small habits, repeated daily, do more to prevent injury than any single safety campaign ever could.
