Every day, we leave behind marks of the gases ①that warm our planet, much like footprints left in wet sand. These marks, ②often called our carbon footprint, come from small choices such as driving, eating, and using electricity. Many students think that only large factories create these marks, but ordinary habits at home also matter greatly. For example, turning off lights ③when leaving a room reduces the energy that power plants must produce. Walking or biking to school instead of riding in a car also lowers the amount of gas ④releasing into the air. In contrast, leaving devices plugged in all night quietly increases our footprint without our notice. Therefore, students ⑤who practice these simple habits regularly can shrink their footprint significantly.

A growing number of teenagers are ①joining book clubs that exist only on their phones. These apps let users ②tracking how many pages they read each day, write short reviews, and join group chats about a chosen book. Some students say the apps make reading feel less lonely, because they can share their honest reactions the moment they ③finish a chapter instead of waiting for a weekly meeting. The apps also use gentle reminders and reading streaks to keep members motivated, ④turning a private habit into a small social game. However, a few teachers worry that constant notifications from a reading app can ⑤pull attention away from the book itself, since users may spend more time chatting about the story than actually reading it.

Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. This event aims to ①restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. Volunteers will meet at the community center at nine in the morning and travel together by bus. Please wear old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting dirty during the activity. Each participant will plant three young trees, guided by experienced forest rangers throughout the morning. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig ②proper holes without harming the tree roots. In contrast, planting too shallowly often causes young trees to ③die within a few months. Therefore, careful instructions must be followed ④closely by every volunteer. Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for ⑤costly.

Summer is the best time to enjoy swimming pools, rivers, and beaches with family and friends. However, water activities can be completely ①safe without proper preparation.

Second, check the weather and water conditions before entering the water, since strong currents can make swimming extremely ③dangerous. Third, wear a life jacket in open water, especially if you are a beginner. Taking a break every hour will help you stay ④energetic, and learning basic rescue skills will make you more ⑤prepared for emergencies.

When I finally got the chance to interview a professional webtoon artist for our school newspaper, I expected her to describe drawing as the hardest part of her job. Instead, she told me that writing the story comes first, often taking longer than the artwork itself. She sketches rough thumbnails for an entire chapter before touching a single detailed panel, testing whether the pacing keeps readers scrolling instead of losing interest halfway through. She also reads every comment section carefully, not to copy what fans suggest, but to understand which moments made readers feel something real. What surprised me most was learning that _______________. Her honesty made me realize that the smooth, effortless feeling of a good webtoon is actually the product of countless invisible decisions.

Many people throw away items that they no longer need. However, some students have started to buy and sell used goods instead of throwing them away. This practice, often called secondhand trading, takes place at flea markets or through simple online apps. When you buy a secondhand book or a used bicycle, you save money and reduce waste at the same time. For example, a jacket that no longer fits your older sibling can become a treasure for someone else. Giving an old item to a new owner is like giving a toy a second life. In contrast, throwing away useful items increases the amount of trash that ends up in landfills. Therefore, secondhand trading, which requires little effort, _______________. Small choices like this can make a big difference for our planet.

Last spring, I joined a one-day job experience program at a local hospital. A kind nurse named Ms. Park showed me around the ward and explained how nurses check patients' conditions. At first, I was nervous about talking to real patients. However, after helping an elderly patient find her room, I felt proud and relaxed. The busiest moment came when several patients needed attention at once, and the nurses worked together calmly. I realized that ___________. By the end of the day, my interest in nursing had grown even stronger.

For most of the twentieth century, a library was simply a quiet room full of books, and visitors were expected to stay silent while they searched the shelves. (A) Librarians say this change did not happen by accident, since fewer people needed a library simply to find facts as more information moved online. (B) The answer, in many neighborhoods, turned out to be space itself: a warm, free place where students could study together and children could attend a story hour. (C) Today, many public libraries look completely different, offering group study rooms, comfortable sofas, computer labs, and even small recording studios for podcasts alongside the usual shelves.
