Sunny Beach Rentals is now open for the summer season, ①offering a wide range of water equipment for visitors. Customers can rent items such as beach umbrellas, folding chairs, snorkeling gear, and paddleboards ②at affordable daily rates. To rent equipment, visitors simply need to show identification and pay a small deposit, ③which is fully refunded when the items are returned in good condition. Reservations ④made online receive a ten percent discount compared to walk-in rentals. Renters are asked ⑤returning all items by six in the evening, since the shop closes shortly after sunset.

Last year our art club received a set of digital drawing tablets, and I assumed switching from paper ① feeling like cheating, since a screen seemed to remove the physical struggle of real drawing. After a few weeks of practice, though, I noticed the tablet ② demanded a different kind of skill rather than an easier one. Because there is no paper texture to guide the pen, beginners often press too hard or draw shaky lines until their hand ③ adjusts to the smooth glass surface. What the tablet does offer is the freedom ④ to undo a mistake instantly and experiment with colors without wasting a single sheet of paper. Several club members who once avoided painting because they feared ruining their work now ⑤ try bold new styles daily.

Riding a bicycle is a great way to stay active during summer vacation, but safety should always come ①first. Wearing a helmet is essential, since it can ②prevent serious head injuries in an accident. It is also important to wear bright or reflective clothing so that drivers can see you ③clearly. Riders should always follow traffic signals and ride in the same direction as traffic, never against it, since going against traffic makes accidents much ④less likely. Carrying a water bottle is wise, since dehydration can cause dizziness and affect your ⑤balance.

On the first day of winter break, my friend Yuna and I sat in a cafe and talked about the new year ahead. Instead of making separate plans, we decided to write our goals ①together on one sheet of paper. At first, it felt ②exciting, but after two weeks, I began to feel tired and wanted to quit. Yuna noticed my short replies and ③ignored me instead of just texting. She reminded me why I had chosen this goal in the first place, and her words gave me new ④energy. Because we supported each other through difficult moments, both of us successfully ⑤reached our goals by spring.

Have you ever thrown away an old pair of jeans simply because they no longer fit? Instead of discarding them, many people now turn old items into something ①old and useful. This creative process, called upcycling, transforms unwanted objects into products with ②greater value than before. For example, a worn pair of jeans can be cut and sewn into a ③sturdy bag or a small pouch. Old wooden pallets, once used for shipping, are often rebuilt into ④simple furniture such as tables and shelves. However, upcycling differs from ordinary recycling, which usually breaks materials down before making something new. In upcycling, the original material keeps most of its form while gaining a fresh purpose. Therefore, choosing to upcycle rather than throw items away can reduce waste ⑤significantly.

Attention, all students! Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium, where ___________. Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props to explain the goal clearly. Students who wish to participate must submit a short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd.

For many years, comic books and graphic novels were seen as a lazy alternative to real reading. Parents and teachers often worried that pictures did the work that words should do, leaving young readers with weaker vocabulary and imagination. Recent research, however, tells a more complicated story. _______________. This combination can build a different but equally valuable set of reading skills. Teachers who once banned comics from their classrooms are now using them to reach students who struggled with traditional novels. Rather than replacing traditional reading, graphic novels appear to work best as a bridge that leads students toward it.

Minjun used to leave half of his lunch tray full of untouched rice and vegetables every day. Last spring, his class started a campaign called "Clean Plate Day" to reduce food waste. At first, Minjun thought the campaign sounded boring and unnecessary for someone like him. However, his teacher explained that leftover food thrown away every day adds up to a huge amount of waste. She compared uneaten food to _______________. This comparison surprised Minjun because he had never thought about food that way before. He decided to take only what he could finish and to try new vegetables slowly. Within a few weeks, his tray was almost always empty, and he felt proud of the change. Other students noticed his effort and began doing the same thing.

Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know what these marks mean. (A) Each symbol contains a number that shows what material the item is made of. For instance, the number one usually stands for clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. (B) Reading these marks is similar to reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Without checking the label, you might buy something unhealthy by mistake. (C) Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a reusable item straight to a landfill. Some marks even show that a material cannot be recycled at all, so it must be sorted separately. Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more effective for everyone involved.
