Have you ever wondered why some people stay motivated while others give up quickly? The answer often lies in whether they have a clear goal. When people have no specific goal, they usually feel confused about where ①to start, and their interest fades within days. For example, a student who simply decides ②to study harder this year often loses direction because the plan is too vague. In contrast, a student who sets a clear goal, such as raising an English score by ten points, ③knows exactly what to do every day. This clarity creates strong motivation because the brain naturally ④focus on a clear target. A clear goal also makes progress easy to measure, and noticing small improvements keeps people ⑤encouraged to continue.

When I joined the school broadcasting club two years ago, I only wanted to spend time with friends who shared my interests. Gradually, however, the club became something much more ①meaningful. I learned how to write short scripts, operate basic cameras, and edit simple video clips for school events. Our club also produced a short documentary about a local market, which taught me how much planning goes into even a ②brief video. Working with teammates who had different strengths showed me that good media projects rarely depend on ③one person alone. Through these experiences, I slowly realized that I wanted to ④avoid studying media production in college. What began as a casual after-school activity ended up ⑤shaping a clear direction for my future career.

Whenever people discuss the future of reading, one debate never seems to end: e-books or paper books? Supporters of e-books point out that a single device can hold ① thousands of titles, which makes traveling with a full library incredibly ② light. Readers can also change the font size, look up a word instantly, and carry their entire collection in one bag. Fans of paper books, however, argue that something important is ③ lost on a screen. Many readers say they remember a paper book's plot more clearly, perhaps because they ④ recall where a scene appeared on the page. Screens also invite distraction, since a single notification can pull a reader ⑤ closer to the story in seconds. Interestingly, several recent surveys suggest that most young readers do not choose one format forever. Instead, they switch between paper and digital depending on the situation, treating the debate less as a contest and more as a matter of convenience.

A food allergy can turn an ordinary snack shared between classmates into a medical ① emergency within minutes, which is why schools now take ingredient labels more seriously than they once did. For someone with a severe allergy, even a trace amount of the wrong ingredient, transferred by a shared spoon or an unwashed hand, can trigger a reaction that closes the airway and becomes ② life-threatening if untreated. Friends of allergic students sometimes assume that a small bite would not cause serious harm, not realizing that the amount needed to trigger anaphylaxis can be ③ larger than a crumb. Recognizing the early signs, such as swelling around the lips, hives, or sudden difficulty breathing, allows classmates and teachers to act before the reaction becomes ④ severe. Many schools now train staff to use an epinephrine auto-injector, a device that can ⑤ reverse a dangerous reaction within seconds.

Starting a new diary or planner in January is easy, but keeping it useful all year is ①harder. This guide offers simple tips for using a planner to manage your New Year goals. First, write one ②clear goal at the top of each month so you always remember your main target. Second, break that goal into small weekly tasks instead of writing ③vague plans. Third, check your planner every morning and mark tasks as done when you finish them. Reviewing your notes every Sunday helps you notice patterns in your habits. Finally, do not worry if you skip a day, since staying ④careless matters more than being perfect. These habits can turn your planner into a ⑤powerful tool for reaching your goals.

Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment. Used batteries, which contain harmful chemicals, should never be thrown away with regular trash. If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. Therefore, _______________. Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. The box, which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone to use. For example, small button batteries from watches and toys can also be dropped in the box. However, batteries that are still working should not be thrown away at all. We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood clean and safe. Thank you for your cooperation and kindness.

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 complicated for a beginner. Just then, I noticed a quiet table where students were sketching posters together. A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club welcomed complete beginners. She showed me a sketchbook filled with simple drawings by first-year members. Her gentle voice made me feel relaxed for the first time that day. Without much thought, I wrote my name on the sign-up sheet before leaving. Walking out of the gym, I finally felt _______________.

Every spring, our school holds an art exhibition in the main hallway, and this year I finally submitted a painting of my own. (A) On the morning the paintings went up, I walked past dozens of styles, from careful realistic portraits to messy, colorful abstractions, and none of them looked like mine. Instead of feeling embarrassed, I found myself curious about why each artist had made certain choices. (B) Standing in that crowded hallway, I finally understood that the exhibition's real purpose was not to rank the paintings, but to let students discover how many different perspectives could exist in a single shared space. (C) For weeks, I compared my work to my classmates' drawings and felt sure that mine was not good enough to hang beside theirs. My art teacher noticed my hesitation and said something I did not expect: an exhibition is not a contest to find the single best picture, but a chance to show how differently people see the same world.

Many people believe that a college major decides a person's entire career path. (A) A history major, for example, might later succeed as a marketer or a policy analyst. (B) However, many graduates actually end up working in fields unrelated to what they studied. (C) This shows that skills developed during study often matter more than the subject itself.

No one in the room could quite agree on how serious that concern actually was. When an image-generating program produced a strikingly detailed painting in the exact style of a well-known illustrator within seconds, my art club spent an entire meeting arguing about what it actually meant for artists. ( ① ) Some members felt excited, imagining the software as a helpful tool that could speed up brainstorming or generate quick backgrounds for their comics. ( ② ) Others worried that the program had been trained on thousands of real illustrations scraped from the internet without the original artists' permission, meaning the tool's impressive results were quietly built on other people's uncredited labor. ( ③ ) A few pointed out that the final image, however skillful it looked, reflected no personal memory, struggle, or intention, only patterns learned from existing pictures. ( ④ ) The debate never reached a clear conclusion, but it made me realize that questions about creativity now involve not just how a picture looks, but where it actually came from and who deserves credit for it. ( ⑤ )
