Last month, I ①attended a three-day career camp during summer vacation. The camp offered workshops in fields such as broadcasting, cooking, and environmental science. On the first day, I chose the broadcasting workshop, ②where students practiced writing short news scripts. It was harder than I expected, since staying calm while a camera ③recorded my every move felt strange at first. The instructors, who all had real broadcasting experience, gave detailed feedback rather than simple praise, ④that helped us improve quickly. On the final day, each team ⑤presented a short news segment to the entire camp.

Our film club spent an entire semester making a five-minute short film, and I was ① startling to learn just how little of that time was actually spent filming. We wrote and rewrote the script for nearly a month, then ② spent another two weeks drawing simple storyboards to plan every camera angle before a single scene was recorded. Filming itself took only two Saturday afternoons, yet editing the footage afterward ③ consumed nearly six additional weeks, as we combed through hours of raw clips to choose the handful of seconds that actually made it into the final version. Our advisor warned us early on that amateur filmmakers usually underestimate editing the most, ④ assuming that a good script and decent camera work will carry a film on their own. 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 ⑤ had shaped it.

Jihun made a resolution ①to study English for two hours every day. For the first three days, he studied exactly as planned and ②felt proud of himself. However, on the fourth day, he skipped his study time because he was too exhausted, and within a week, his resolution had disappeared. ③Feeling disappointed, Jihun talked to his older sister about it, and she suggested that he ④try a smaller, more realistic goal instead of a large one. Following her advice, he changed his plan to studying English for only twenty minutes each night, and this small goal felt less overwhelming, so he managed ⑤keeping it every day for a month.

Building a reading habit does not usually start with a big decision to read more. It often starts with very small, easy steps. Some students keep a book in their bag so that they always have something to read while waiting for a bus. Others choose a fixed time each day, like right before bed, and read for just ten minutes. These small routines work because _______________. Experts also suggest setting a very low daily goal, such as one page, instead of a strict page count that feels like homework. Over weeks, these tiny actions add up, and reading slowly becomes something the student simply does, rather than something the student has to force.

주어진 문장: This process, however, does not happen all at once, but unfolds gradually in stages. Many students set a New Year goal to build a new habit, such as reading every night or exercising each morning. ( ① ) However, most people give up within two weeks because the habit still feels difficult. ( ② ) Researchers who studied this process found that, on average, a new habit takes about sixty-six days to feel automatic. ( ③ ) During the first few weeks, your brain still treats the activity as something new, so you must rely on willpower. ( ④ ) Around the middle of this period, the behavior becomes easier because your brain starts to expect it at a certain time each day. ( ⑤ ) By the end, you no longer need to force yourself, since the action feels natural and comfortable.

주어진 문장: Thanks to her call, I felt understood and ready to try again. On the first day of winter break, my friend Yuna and I sat in a cafe and talked about the new year ahead. ( ① ) Instead of making separate plans, we decided to write our goals together on one sheet of paper. ( ② ) Yuna wanted to improve her English speaking, while I wanted to wake up earlier every morning. ( ③ ) We agreed to text each other every night to report what we had done that day. ( ④ ) At first, it felt exciting, but after two weeks, I began to feel tired and wanted to quit. Yuna noticed my short replies and called me instead of just texting. She reminded me why I had chosen this goal in the first place. ( ⑤ ) Because we supported each other through difficult moments, both of us successfully reached our goals by spring.

This new emphasis on space, however, has not pleased everyone who cares deeply about libraries. 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. ( ① ) Today, many public libraries look completely different. ( ② ) Alongside the usual shelves, you might find group study rooms, comfortable sofas for reading, computer labs, and even small recording studios for podcasts. ( ③ ) Librarians say this change did not happen by accident. As more information moved online, fewer people needed a library simply to find facts, so librarians began asking what their communities actually needed instead. ( ④ ) The answer, in many neighborhoods, turned out to be space itself: a warm, free place where students could study together, job seekers could print a resume, and children could attend a story hour. ( ⑤ ) Some critics worry that libraries are drifting away from their original mission of preserving books. Librarians respond that reading and gathering have always belonged together, and that a library survives only by changing with its readers.

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.

This year, more than three hundred students signed up within the first week. Every July, our school library launches a summer reading challenge that invites students to read at least five books before classes begin again in September. ( ① ) Students who complete the challenge receive a small prize, but many say the real reward is something else entirely. ( ② ) Without daily homework and tests to worry about, summer gives students rare freedom to choose books purely because they sound interesting, not because a teacher assigned them. ( ③ ) Librarians notice that students often pick more unusual genres during the challenge, including graphic novels, poetry, and nonfiction about hobbies they enjoy. ( ④ ) This freedom seems to matter more than the prize itself, since students who only cared about winning tend to quit once the reading feels difficult, while curious readers keep going. ( ⑤ ) Teachers who track student progress after summer report that challenge participants often return in September with noticeably stronger reading habits than classmates who read nothing over the break.
