On the first day of our improv theater workshop, the instructor ① gave us a rule that seemed impossible to follow: never say no to whatever another performer suggests. If a scene partner claimed the empty classroom was actually a submarine, our job was ② to accept that fact instantly and build on it, rather than correcting or rejecting the idea. I found this terrifying at first, since improv offers no script to hide behind and no time ③ to plan a clever line in advance. Over several weeks, though, I noticed that the students who worried most about saying something wrong were usually the ones who froze on stage, while those who simply accepted whatever happened and reacted honestly ④ creating the funniest, most memorable scenes. The instructor explained that improv is not really about being naturally quick-witted, but about ⑤ trusting a partner's idea enough to build on it rather than protecting your own.

When someone's heart suddenly stops beating, the brain begins to suffer damage within minutes unless blood keeps circulating. Studies show that a person who receives CPR immediately from someone nearby is far more likely to ① survive than one who waits for professional help to arrive. Despite this, many people ② hesitate to start chest compressions, worried that they might break a rib or make the situation worse. Modern CPR training has also been ③ simplified, focusing on firm, rhythmic chest compressions rather than the more complicated combination of breaths and compressions once required, making the skill ④ easier for ordinary students to learn and remember under pressure. For this reason, many schools now ⑤ exclude CPR training as a standard part of health education.

Jimin joined the school band club in March, but she had never performed before an audience. The club's first concert was only two weeks away, and everyone felt nervous. During practice, her hands shook whenever the song reached the chorus, and she kept missing the same chord. Instead of laughing at her mistakes, the other members waited patiently and played the section again with her. The drummer, Suho, suggested that she focus on just one part at a time. Slowly, her fingers grew more confident, and the chord that once felt impossible began to feel natural. The club practiced until the melody sounded smooth the night before the concert. When Jimin walked onto the stage, she thought of her friends' patience instead of her fear. The audience clapped warmly, and she realized _______________________.

Attention, students and teachers! Our school is starting a new campaign called 'Bring Your Own Bag.' Starting next Monday, the school store will no longer offer free plastic bags to customers. Instead, we encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home. Plastic bags, which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be used again and again for many years. Therefore, using a reusable bag is _______________. For example, students who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. However, students who forget their bags may still purchase a paper bag for a small fee. We hope every student will join this easy and meaningful campaign. Thank you for helping our school become greener.

Yuna bought a disposable coffee cup every morning on her way to school. She never thought about where those cups ended up after she threw them away. One day, her science teacher showed the class a photo of a beach covered with plastic cups and bottles. Yuna felt shocked because she realized _______________. That evening, she found an old tumbler hidden in a kitchen drawer and decided to use it every day. At first, carrying the tumbler felt inconvenient, and she often forgot to bring it to school. However, she kept a reminder note on her bag, which helped her remember it each morning. Within a month, using the tumbler had become as natural as brushing her teeth. Her friends noticed the change and asked where she had bought the tumbler.

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.

However, even confident swimmers can get into trouble in open water. Summer is the best time to enjoy swimming pools, rivers, and beaches with family and friends. ( ① ) First, always swim in areas that are supervised by a lifeguard, and never swim alone, even if you are a strong swimmer. ( ② ) It is also important to check the weather and water conditions before entering the water, since strong currents and sudden storms can appear without warning. ( ③ ) Wearing a life jacket in open water is essential, especially for children and beginners. ( ④ ) Taking regular breaks during long swims helps prevent exhaustion. ( ⑤ ) Learning basic rescue skills is another good habit that could help you save a life someday.

Some students feel nervous about sharing their opinions at first, but most grow more confident after a few sessions. Many students think that reading a book quietly by themselves is enough, but book discussion classes add something that solo reading cannot provide. ( ① ) When students explain their ideas out loud, they often discover thoughts they did not even know they had. ( ② ) Teachers who use discussion classes report that students remember plot details and themes far longer than students who only read silently and take a quiz afterward. ( ③ ) This happens because talking about a book forces the brain to organize scattered impressions into a clear argument. ( ④ ) Discussion also teaches students to listen carefully, since they must respond directly to classmates instead of simply waiting for their own turn to speak. ( ⑤ ) For these reasons, many schools are now adding weekly discussion sessions to their reading programs, even for short stories that used to be assigned only as silent homework.

Watching myself on the recording afterward was even more uncomfortable than facing the camera live. Last month, I attended a three-day career camp during summer vacation. ( ① ) On the first day, I chose the broadcasting workshop, where students practiced writing short news scripts and reading them in front of a camera. ( ② ) It was harder than I expected, since staying calm while a camera recorded my every move felt strange at first. ( ③ ) By the second day, however, I began to enjoy the challenge, and my confidence grew with each attempt. ( ④ ) The instructors, who all had real broadcasting experience, gave detailed feedback rather than simple praise, which helped us improve quickly. ( ⑤ ) On the final day, each team presented a short news segment to the entire camp.

주어진 문장: These various booths give every member a chance to show what they have practiced throughout the year. Every October, Greenfield High School holds a festival that gives every club a chance to shine. ① This year's festival will take place on October 15th, running from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon. ② Clubs that want to run a booth must apply to the student council by October 1st, since space in the gym is limited. ③ The science club will present simple experiments that are both safe and exciting to watch. The art club, meanwhile, will display paintings that members have created throughout the semester. ④ The cooking club plans to sell snacks prepared by its own members, and all the profits will be donated to a local shelter. ⑤ Because many visitors are expected, teachers will supervise each booth carefully to keep students safe. Anyone curious about club life is warmly encouraged to visit and enjoy the festival.
