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.

Dear residents, we are writing to explain how ①to separate food waste correctly in our building. Many people still throw food waste into the general trash, ②which causes bad smells. Therefore, this notice describes the exact steps you should follow every day. First, please use the special yellow bin near the parking lot for all food scraps. Fruit peels, vegetable ends, and leftover rice belong in this bin, not in a plastic bag. However, hard items such as eggshells and bones must go into the general trash instead. In addition, please drain excess liquid from your food waste before ③throwing it away. This simple habit, ④which only takes a few seconds, keeps the area clean and dry. For example, tea bags should never ⑤being placed in the food waste bin. Thank you for helping our neighborhood stay pleasant.

Summer is the best time ①to enjoy swimming pools, rivers, and beaches with family and friends. However, water activities can ②being dangerous without proper preparation. First, always swim in areas ③that are supervised by a lifeguard, and never swim alone even if you are a strong swimmer, because emergencies ④can happen quickly. Finally, learning basic rescue skills ⑤allows you to help others in an emergency.

During the rainy season, umbrellas and raincoats become ①essential items for daily life. After using a wet umbrella, let it ②dry fully in a well-ventilated place before folding it again. Storing a damp umbrella in a closed bag can cause mold and a bad smell, so this habit is actually quite ③harmful. It is helpful to wipe off dirt and mud with a soft cloth, since dirt left on the fabric can ④protect the waterproof coating over time. Checking the umbrella's frame regularly for rust also helps it last ⑤longer.

For instance, the number one usually stands for ①clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. Without checking the label, you might buy something ②unhealthy by mistake. Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a ③disposable item straight to a landfill. Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more ④effective for everyone ⑤involved.

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 impressively small and precise the pieces looked. Talking with her while she worked, though, I learned that _______________. She once spent three weekends carving a single tiny bookshelf, only to leave two of its shelves deliberately empty, explaining that a completely full room would look staged rather than lived-in. That small decision taught me that miniature craft is not primarily about precision, but about convincingly imagining an ordinary life small enough to fit inside a shoebox.

Breaking a big goal into smaller pieces can make it much easier to achieve. (A) Over time, these small successes add up, just like bricks gradually forming a strong wall. (B) For example, instead of aiming to master English in a year, try learning just twenty new words in a week. (C) Completing each small step gives you a sense of success, which motivates you to keep moving forward.

Whole, uncut melons, however, can be stored at room temperature until you are ready to eat them. Summer brings a wide variety of delicious fruits, but many of them spoil quickly in the heat. ( ① ) Knowing how to store fruit properly can help you avoid waste and enjoy fresher flavors. ( ② ) Fruits such as watermelon and melon should be kept in the refrigerator once they are cut, since exposure to warm air speeds up spoiling. ( ③ ) Berries are especially delicate and should not be washed until just before eating, because moisture encourages mold to grow. ( ④ ) Bananas, on the other hand, turn black quickly in cold air, so they are best kept on the counter. ( ⑤ ) Wrapping cut fruit tightly in plastic wrap also helps keep it fresh longer.

주어진 문장: No experience is necessary, so anyone who cares about nature is welcome to join. Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. ① This event aims to restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. ② 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. ③ Each participant will plant three young trees, guided by experienced forest rangers throughout the morning. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig proper holes without harming the tree roots. ④ In contrast, planting too shallowly often causes young trees to die within a few months. Therefore, careful instructions must be followed closely by every volunteer. ⑤ Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for free. Students interested in joining should register online before next Wednesday.

This sudden and violent stop is precisely what causes so many of the most severe injuries in a crash. Seatbelts are so woven into the experience of riding in a car that many passengers buckle them without thinking, yet a surprising number of teenagers still skip them for short trips, assuming that a five-minute drive to a friend's house does not carry much risk. ( ① ) Traffic safety data tell a different story: most fatal crashes occur within a few kilometers of home, on roads drivers know so well that they let their guard down. ( ② ) In a collision, a body traveling at a moderate speed continues moving forward at that same speed until something stops it, and without a seatbelt, that something is often the windshield or the dashboard rather than a slower deceleration. ( ③ ) A seatbelt spreads the force of a sudden stop across the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips and chest, instead of concentrating it on the head and neck. ( ④ ) Despite decades of public awareness campaigns, seatbelt use for backseat passengers remains lower than for those sitting in the front. ( ⑤ )
