Many students confuse the student council with school clubs. In fact, the two groups serve very different purposes. The student council is an ①official body that represents the whole school. It manages ②shared issues such as rules, events, and communication with teachers. For example, council members often organize the school festival. They also collect opinions from each class before making decisions. A club, in contrast, is a small group formed around one shared interest, such as music or art. While the council must consider the needs of every student, a club can focus ③narrowly on what its own members enjoy. Therefore, joining the council usually requires an election, whereas joining a club simply requires ④false interest. Some students eventually do both, using the council to build ⑤leadership skills and a club to develop a personal passion.

Last month, our class began practicing for the school choir contest, but rehearsals quickly turned ①tense. Minji, who had the loudest voice, kept correcting other members in the middle of songs. Several students felt ②hurt and began skipping practice, saying it felt more like criticism than teamwork. Our music teacher noticed the empty seats and asked what was happening. Minji explained that she only wanted the group to sound perfect. However, Junho said her tone made people afraid to sing at all. After an ③awkward silence, Minji admitted she had never noticed how her words affected others. So the class tried something new: each member shared one compliment before rehearsal began. Slowly, the tension ④faded and attendance returned to normal. On the day of the contest, the choir sang together with real ⑤doubt and earned second place.

Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in the corner of a quiet cafe, coffee cups in hand, ready to talk about a book they have all just ① finished. This is a book club, and its members insist that reading the same novel together changes the experience ② completely. Alone, a reader usually forms one interpretation and ③ frequently questions it again. In a group, however, one member's small comment about a minor character can suddenly change how everyone else understood the whole story. Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance pushes them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through. What began as a simple reading habit has slowly grown into one of the most meaningful ④ friendships of their week, according to ⑤ many members.

Students often groan when a classic novel appears on their reading list, complaining that the language feels old-fashioned and the plot moves too slowly. It is true that classic literature can be harder to read than a modern bestseller. Yet this very difficulty is part of why classics remain valuable for young readers today, because _______________. Beyond language training, classic novels also explore themes such as jealousy, ambition, and loss that have not changed much across centuries.

Many English teachers now ask students to write a short review after finishing a book, rather than simply filling out a reading log. At first, students often complain that summarizing a plot is enough work already. However, a review requires something a summary does not: a clear judgment supported by specific evidence from the text. To defend an opinion about a character or a theme, _______________. Teachers who assign reviews regularly report that their students remember plot details more accurately and discuss characters' motivations more confidently than students who only summarize.

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.

For example, children and elderly people are especially vulnerable because their bodies cool down less efficiently. Every summer, doctors warn about the danger of heatstroke during long heatwaves, and this condition does not affect everyone equally. ( ① ) Heatstroke happens when the body's temperature rises too high and cannot cool itself down. ( ② ) This condition can be life-threatening if it is not treated quickly. ( ③ ) To prevent heatstroke, drink plenty of water and avoid outdoor activities during the hottest hours of the day. ( ④ ) Wearing light clothing also helps your body stay cool. ( ⑤ ) If symptoms appear, move to a shaded or air-conditioned place immediately.

주어진 문장: For this reason, small differences in color or style can quickly become noticeable across the whole wall. Every spring, the art club at Sejong High School creates one large mural together instead of individual paintings. ( ① ) The process begins with a session where members suggest themes and vote on their favorite idea. ( ② ) Once a theme is chosen, the club divides into small teams, each responsible for one section of the wall. One team sketches the outline while another mixes colors to match the design. ( ③ ) Communication becomes essential at this stage, since each section must connect smoothly with the ones beside it. If one team paints too dark a shade, the whole picture can look unbalanced. ( ④ ) Therefore, members regularly step back to compare their section with the rest of the mural. ( ⑤ ) After several weekends, the teams combine their sections into a single image. The finished mural is displayed near the entrance, reminding everyone what cooperation can achieve.

In other words, wide reading does not just add facts to a student's memory; it changes the way that student questions everything else. Students who read many books across many different subjects often develop a habit that quieter learners sometimes lack: the habit of comparing new information with what they already know. ( ① ) A student who has read about ancient wars, ocean ecosystems, and modern economics can more easily notice when two different subjects share a similar pattern. ( ② ) This kind of connection-making is closely related to what psychologists call critical thinking. ( ③ ) Seeing a familiar pattern in an unfamiliar topic allows a person to ask sharper questions instead of accepting new information at face value. ( ④ ) Extensive reading also builds a large mental library of examples, which makes it easier to evaluate whether a new claim sounds reasonable or exaggerated. ( ⑤ ) Teachers often notice that widely read students argue more carefully, supporting their opinions with specific examples rather than vague generalizations. For this reason, many educators now argue that assigning a wide variety of reading material may do more for a student's thinking skills than any single course in logic.

For this reason, it is best to plan ahead and pick your favorite show first. This year's Club Festival will be held in the school gym and nearby classrooms next Friday. ( ① ) Visitors should first pick up a program map at the entrance to find each club's booth. Art and photography clubs will show their work in Classroom 201. Dance and music clubs will perform on the gym stage. ( ② ) Performances start every thirty minutes, so guests should arrive five minutes early. ( ③ ) Because seating is limited, latecomers may need to stand at the back. ( ④ ) Visitors may take photos, but please turn off the camera flash during performances. Food will be sold outside the gym, but drinks cannot be brought into the exhibition rooms. ( ⑤ ) If you have questions, staff members wearing yellow vests will be glad to help. We hope everyone enjoys discovering what our clubs have worked on this semester.
