Water looks endless when it flows from the tap every morning. However, clean water is actually a limited resource ①that we must protect carefully. Many families waste water without even noticing it in their daily routine. For example, leaving the tap ②running while brushing your teeth can waste several liters of water. In contrast, turning off the tap during that time saves a surprising amount of water each day. ③Taking a shorter shower are another easy habit that reduces water use significantly. Fixing a leaking faucet, ④which many people ignore, can also save hundreds of liters every month. Saving water is like keeping money in a savings account for the future. Therefore, small changes in our daily habits, practiced by every family, can protect this precious resource. Everyone ⑤who cares about the environment should start saving water today.

Many students who reach their goals share one habit: they ①picturing the goal clearly before they even start working. This process, called visualization, means imagining a goal in detail, often by ②drawing pictures or writing specific descriptions. For example, a student ③who dreams of studying abroad might make a board filled with photos of a foreign campus. Seeing these images every day keeps the goal fresh in mind and ④reminds the student why the effort matters. Visualization also helps people notice small opportunities that they might otherwise miss, since the brain naturally pays attention to things ⑤connected to personal goals.

Our class field trip to the national art museum began with a worksheet that I initially found annoying, since it ① asked us to stand in front of a single painting for a full five minutes before moving on. Five minutes felt unbearably long for one picture, and I nearly ② skipped ahead to the next room. Forcing myself to stay, however, I began noticing details that a quick glance ③ would missed entirely: a faint second figure hidden in the shadows, brushstrokes that grew rougher toward the edges of the canvas, a color repeated in three unrelated corners. My initial impression of the painting as simply pleasant slowly ④ became something closer to fascination. Our teacher later explained that most museum visitors spend under fifteen seconds per artwork on average, which means they ⑤ experience galleries as a blur of images rather than as individual works.

One Saturday morning, Jiho carried a heavy bag of old clothes to the donation box near his apartment. He had grown taller over the winter, so many shirts no longer ①fit him. At first, he almost threw the clothes into the regular trash without thinking twice. However, his older sister reminded him that clean clothes could still ②help someone else. She explained that donating clothes was like ③give a plant a second chance to grow. For example, a jacket he ④had outgrown might keep another child warm this winter. Therefore, Jiho folded each shirt neatly and ⑤placed them gently inside the box. In contrast to his first careless idea, he now felt genuinely happy about his choice. Walking home, Jiho realized that small actions could create meaningful change for others.

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. I expected the wheel to do most of the difficult work ① automatically, since it was already spinning quickly by the time I sat down. 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. The instructor explained that beginners almost always press too ② hard on one side, which throws the entire piece off balance no matter how fast or slow the wheel spins. After nearly a dozen failed attempts, I finally produced a lopsided but recognizable cup, and the small imperfection along its rim somehow made me ③ ashamed of it, unlike a perfectly smooth, machine-made mug. Clay, I learned that afternoon, rewards ④ patience far more generously than it rewards ⑤ force.

Artificial intelligence is creating job titles that did not exist a decade ago. (A) AI ethics officers, for instance, check whether a company's technology treats users fairly. (B) These new roles clearly require more than just technical skill. (C) Prompt engineers, for example, design instructions that help AI programs produce accurate results.

My cousin, who has never taken a single music lesson, recently used a composing app on her phone to write a short song for her friend's birthday video. (A) What the app could not do, however, was decide which four notes actually felt right for the opening line, or when a pause said more than another note would have. (B) Watching her work, I realized the app handled much of the technical difficulty that used to stop beginners from composing at all, automatically keeping her melody in key and suggesting chords that matched the mood she selected. (C) She spent nearly an hour adjusting a single short phrase until it matched the feeling she wanted to capture, and watching her patient trial and error, I understood that these tools lower the technical barrier but do not remove the human task of deciding what music is trying to say.

That single feature, the ability to undo, turned out to change how boldly people were willing to experiment. Last year our art club received a set of digital drawing tablets, and I assumed switching from paper would feel like cheating, since a screen seemed to remove the physical struggle of real drawing. ( ① ) After a few weeks of practice, though, I noticed the tablet demanded a different kind of skill rather than an easier one. ( ② ) Because there is no paper texture to guide the pen, beginners often press too hard or draw shaky lines until their hand adjusts to the smooth glass surface. ( ③ ) What the tablet does offer is the freedom to undo a mistake instantly and experiment with colors without wasting a single sheet of paper, which encourages artists to take risks they might avoid with a permanent ink pen. ( ④ ) Several club members who once avoided painting because they feared ruining their work now try bold new styles daily. ( ⑤ ) The tool changed, but the patience and observation required to create something meaningful stayed exactly the same.

주어진 문장: This is often because their goals are too vague or unrealistic to follow. Many people make new year's resolutions, but few actually achieve them. ( ① ) One helpful method for solving this problem is called SMART goal setting. ( ② ) First, a goal should be specific, describing exactly what you want to do instead of using vague words. ( ③ ) Second, it should be measurable, so you can check your progress with clear numbers. ( ④ ) Third, it should be achievable, fitting your situation without being too difficult to reach. ( ⑤ ) Finally, it should be relevant to your life and time-bound with a clear deadline.

주어진 문장: So even complete beginners are always welcome to join us. Are you curious about capturing special moments around our school? The Photography Club is now looking for new members for this semester. ① We meet every Wednesday afternoon in Room 204, right after regular classes end. No experience is required, since senior members always teach the basics of using a camera. ② Each month, we choose a simple theme and take pictures together around the campus. ③ At the end of the semester, we hold a small exhibition to share our favorite photos. Members are also expected to bring their own camera or smartphone to every meeting. ④ If you enjoy taking pictures or want to try something new, please visit our booth this Friday. ⑤ Feel free to ask any current member if you have questions about joining.
