This year's Club Festival ①will hold in the school gym and nearby classrooms next Friday. Visitors should first pick up a program map at the entrance ②to find each club's booth. Art and photography clubs will show their work in Classroom 201. Dance and music clubs will perform on the gym stage. Performances start every thirty minutes, so guests should arrive five minutes early. Because seating is limited, latecomers may need ③to stand at the back. Visitors may take photos, but please turn off the camera flash during performances. Food will be sold outside the gym, but drinks cannot be brought into the exhibition rooms. If you have questions, staff members ④wearing yellow vests will be glad to help. We hope everyone enjoys discovering what our clubs ⑤have worked on this semester.

Whenever someone learns that I spend hours drawing comics that almost nobody else ever sees, they usually ask why I ① bothering, since the work will never be published or praised by a large audience. For a long time, I struggled to answer that question honestly, ② assuming that art only counted as worthwhile once other people recognized it. Watching my younger brother build enormous, pointless block towers purely for the joy of knocking them down, though, ③ helped me understand something I had been missing. He never once asked whether his tower was good; he simply needed to build the version of it that existed in his head before he could feel satisfied. Creating something, I now believe, often serves the creator first, ④ giving shape to a feeling or idea that would otherwise stay vague and unexpressed. Whether or not anyone else ever sees the result, that private act of shaping an idea into something real still seems ⑤ to matter enormously.

A shocking headline can spread across social media within minutes, long before anyone checks whether it is actually true. Studies show that false stories often travel ① slower than accurate ones, partly because surprising or emotional claims get shared more quickly than careful, balanced reporting. To handle this flood of information, students today need a skill that previous generations rarely had to practice: checking a source before believing it. Simple habits can make a ② real difference, such as looking for the original source of a claim, checking the date an article was published, and searching to see whether other trustworthy outlets are reporting the same story. Media literacy classes now teach students to ③ pause before they share anything, asking who wrote it and why. This small pause, teachers say, is often the only thing standing between a curious reader and a piece of ④ convincing misinformation, protecting not only the reader but everyone in their online ⑤ network.

Students who read many books across many different subjects often develop a habit that quieter learners sometimes ① lack: the habit of comparing new information with what they already know. A student who has read about ancient wars, ocean ecosystems, and modern economics can more easily ② notice when two different subjects share a similar pattern. 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 ③ sharper questions instead of accepting new information at face value. Extensive reading also builds a large mental library of examples, which makes it ④ harder to evaluate whether a new claim sounds reasonable or exaggerated. Teachers often notice that widely read students argue more carefully, supporting their opinions with ⑤ specific examples rather than vague generalizations.

The Hillside Community Center is looking for student volunteers to help with its summer programs. ___________. This opportunity is open to all middle and high school students who can commit at least four hours per week during July and August, and no prior experience is necessary since training will be provided.

When choosing a future career, students often face a common question: should I follow what I love, or what I am good at? Passion can provide strong motivation, but loving an activity does not always mean a person will become skilled at it professionally. Natural talent can lead to quick success, but without genuine interest, that success may eventually feel empty or exhausting. Career experts suggest ___________ instead of choosing only one side. Finding this balance takes time and self-reflection, but it often leads to a more satisfying and sustainable career.

There are a few simple steps to start your own career portfolio. (A) Next, gather items such as certificates, project samples, and photos from club activities. (B) After collecting these items, write a short reflection for each one explaining what you learned. (C) First, choose a format that works for you, whether it is a folder, a notebook, or a digital file.

Part-time jobs can teach students skills that go far beyond earning money. (A) In contrast, employees who ignore mistakes or blame others often struggle to keep their jobs. (B) Workers who stay calm and take responsibility for errors tend to earn their coworkers' trust. (C) For example, handling a customer complaint well can be a valuable lesson in patience and communication.

For my birthday, my older sister took me to a small pottery studio where visitors can shape their own bowl or cup on a spinning wheel. (A) My first attempt collapsed into a shapeless lump within seconds, because I had not realized how much steady, centered pressure the clay actually requires before it can be shaped at all. (B) After nearly a dozen failed attempts, I finally produced a lopsided but recognizable cup, and the small imperfection along its rim somehow made me prouder of it than a perfectly smooth, machine-made mug ever could have. (C) I expected the wheel to do most of the difficult work automatically, since it was already spinning quickly by the time I sat down.

Our film club spent an entire semester making a five-minute short film, and I was startled to learn just how little of that time was actually spent filming. (A) By the time our short film premiered at the school festival, I understood that the visible five minutes represented only a small fraction of the invisible work that had shaped it. (B) We wrote and rewrote the script for nearly a month, then spent another two weeks drawing simple storyboards to plan every camera angle before a single scene was recorded. (C) Filming itself took only two Saturday afternoons, yet editing the footage afterward consumed nearly six additional weeks, as we combed through hours of raw clips to choose the handful of seconds that made it into the final version.
