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.

Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. This event aims to ①restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. Volunteers will meet at the community center at nine in the morning and travel together by bus. Please wear old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting dirty during the activity. Each participant will plant three young trees, guided by experienced forest rangers throughout the morning. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig ②proper holes without harming the tree roots. In contrast, planting too shallowly often causes young trees to ③die within a few months. Therefore, careful instructions must be followed ④closely by every volunteer. Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for ⑤costly.

When I told my parents I wanted to become a musician, I expected them to worry about money and stability. Instead, my father surprised me by asking what kind of music made me feel most alive. My mother, who had once dreamed of becoming a painter herself, admitted that she still wondered what her life might have looked like. Their honesty made me realize that parents' influence on career choices is not always about pressure or control. ___________ Still, my parents' support taught me that the most helpful kind of guidance often respects a child's own voice instead of replacing it.

Volunteer work can sometimes reveal career interests students never expected to have. (A) This kind of quiet, patient care revealed a deep interest she never knew she had. (B) For example, a student volunteering at an animal shelter once spent an hour calming a frightened puppy. (C) She later began exploring careers in veterinary medicine because of that single experience.

Around elementary schools, bright yellow signs mark what is known as a school zone, an area where drivers are required to slow down to reduce the risk of striking a child who might dart into the street without warning. (A) A car traveling even ten kilometers per hour slower gives a driver several extra seconds to brake, often the exact difference between a frightening near miss and a tragedy. (B) Some drivers complain that the reduced speed limit wastes their time, especially when no children happen to be visible at that moment. (C) This complaint misses an important fact about how children behave near traffic: young students often lack the judgment to predict how far a car will travel before it can stop.

Earthquakes strike without any warning, which is exactly why the seconds immediately after the shaking begins matter more than any other moment in an emergency. (A) Furniture that seems merely inconvenient during a fire drill, such as a heavy desk, becomes a lifesaving shield when the ceiling above begins to crack. (B) Safety experts consistently teach the same three steps: drop to the ground, take cover under sturdy furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. (C) Many people instinctively want to run outside during a quake, imagining that open space is always safer than a building, but this instinct can be dangerous, since falling debris often causes more injuries near exits and windows.

Dear members of the Debate Club, I am writing to let you know that our regular meeting time has been changed. (A) Please bring the debate topic that you prepared last week, since we will practice our arguments together. If you cannot attend the new meeting time, please reply to this email by Tuesday evening. (B) We usually meet in Room 304 every Wednesday after school, but the room will be used for sports day practice next week. Instead, our meeting will be held in the library on Thursday at the same time. (C) We also need two volunteers to arrange the chairs and tables before the meeting begins. Mr. Park, our club advisor, will join us this time to give feedback on our speaking skills. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday.

Air conditioners keep us cool in summer, but setting the temperature too low can be harmful. (A) For example, a large gap between indoor and outdoor temperatures can lead to headaches, fatigue, and a stuffy nose. (B) This is because a big difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures forces your body to adjust constantly. (C) To prevent this, set a moderate temperature and open a window for a few minutes every hour.

Career aptitude tests come in many different forms today, and schools use them for various purposes. (A) Some tests focus on personality, asking students how they usually react in different situations. (B) Because of this variety, it is important to understand what each test actually measures before taking it. (C) Other tests focus on specific skills, such as logical thinking or verbal ability.

주어진 문장: These habits include the way we use light, water, and electronic devices every day. Every day, we leave behind marks of the gases that warm our planet, much like footprints left in wet sand. ① These marks, often called our carbon footprint, come from small choices such as driving, eating, and using electricity. ② Many students think that only large factories create these marks, but ordinary habits at home also matter greatly. ③ For example, turning off lights when leaving a room reduces the energy that power plants must produce. ④ Walking or biking to school instead of riding in a car also lowers the amount of gas released into the air. In contrast, leaving devices plugged in all night quietly increases our footprint without our notice. ⑤ Therefore, students who practice these simple habits regularly can shrink their footprint significantly. Small daily choices, repeated over time, become powerful tools for protecting the environment we all share.
