영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Last summer, I ①worked part-time at a small coffee shop near my house. At first, I only wanted to earn some spending money, but the job ②taught me far more than that. I learned how to stay calm during busy hours when orders ③piled up quickly. One day, a customer complained loudly about a mistake in her order. Instead of ④argue, I apologized and quickly made a new drink for her. She left with a smile, and my manager praised my patience ⑤afterward.

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.

This workbook is designed to help you set ①meaningful goals for the new year, so please read the instructions ②carefully before you begin. First, turn to page one and write down one goal you truly want to achieve this year. On page two, break your goal into four smaller monthly steps. If you fall behind schedule, do not simply ③give up; instead, revise your steps in pencil and keep moving forward. At the end of each month, write a short reflection about what worked well and what you might change. Completing this workbook will help you stay ④distracted and turn your goal into a real habit, so make sure to use it ⑤regularly.

For our club's spring project, we were told to create a sculpture using only materials collected from the school's recycling bins, and my first reaction was disappointment at not being allowed to buy proper art supplies. Sorting through flattened cardboard, broken umbrella frames, and plastic bottle caps, I initially saw nothing but trash. My perspective shifted once a senior member showed me a piece she had built the previous year, a bird made entirely of bent bicycle spokes and bottle caps, each cap functioning as a single feather. She explained that _______________. By the end of the project, our team had built a small forest of figures using nothing that anyone had paid for, and the exhibit visitors seemed more curious about our materials than about any technique we had used.

Attention, all students! Our school is starting a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign, and ___________. During the first week of January, every student will receive a small goal card in homeroom class and write one personal goal along with two simple steps to achieve it. After completing the card, students will submit it to their homeroom teacher, and all cards will be displayed on the bulletin board outside the library.

One of the most overlooked risks is setting up a tent too close to a campfire, since a sudden gust of wind can carry a spark onto dry fabric faster than anyone expects. Food storage is another area where casual habits create danger: leaving snacks inside a tent can attract wildlife looking for food. Experienced campers also stress the importance of checking a weather forecast before leaving, since _______________. None of these precautions demand special equipment or skill; they simply require campers to treat the outdoors with the same caution they would show in any unfamiliar environment.

Our school is starting a new campaign called 'Bring Your Own Bag,' and starting next Monday, the school store will no longer offer free plastic bags. (A) Instead, we encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home, since plastic bags are made from petroleum and take hundreds of years to break down. (B) Therefore, using a reusable bag is a simple habit that protects sea animals and reduces pollution, and students who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. (C) However, students who forget their bags may still purchase a paper bag for a small fee, so we hope every student will join this easy and meaningful campaign.

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. (A) 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 that I belonged in this new school. (B) 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. (C) 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.

That small imperfection, more than anything, was proof of how much I had actually learned that day. 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. ( ① ) I expected the wheel to do most of the difficult work automatically, since it was already spinning quickly by the time I sat down. ( ② ) 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. ( ③ ) The instructor explained that beginners almost always press too hard on one side, which throws the entire piece off balance no matter how fast or slow the wheel spins. ( ④ ) 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. ( ⑤ ) Clay, I learned that afternoon, rewards patience far more generously than it rewards force.

None of these habits require special skill, only the discipline to follow them every single time. Every summer, lifeguards repeat the same warnings to swimmers, yet drowning remains one of the most common causes of accidental death among teenagers. ( ① ) Part of the problem is that danger in water rarely looks dramatic; a swimmer struggling to stay afloat often makes little noise and shows no obvious signs of panic, which means bystanders may not realize help is needed until it is too late. ( ② ) Rip currents present a particularly deceptive threat, since the water's surface can appear calm even while a powerful current pulls a swimmer steadily away from shore. ( ③ ) Experts advise that anyone caught in such a current should swim parallel to the beach rather than struggling directly against it, since fighting the current head-on quickly exhausts even a strong swimmer. ( ④ ) Simple habits, such as swimming near a lifeguard station and never entering the water alone, dramatically lower the risk of a minor mistake turning into a fatal one. ( ⑤ )
