Many people throw away items ①that they no longer need. However, some students have started ②to buy and sell used goods instead of throwing them away. This practice, often ③called secondhand trading, takes place at flea markets or through simple online apps. When you buy a secondhand book or a used bicycle, you save money and reduce waste at the same time. For example, a jacket that no longer ④fit your older sibling can become a treasure for someone else. Giving an old item to a new owner is like giving a toy a second life. In contrast, throwing away useful items increases the amount of trash that ends up in landfills. Therefore, secondhand trading, ⑤which requires little effort, protects both your wallet and the environment. Small choices like this can make a big difference for our planet.

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, ①which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be ②used again and again for many years. Therefore, ③using a reusable bag is a simple habit that protects sea animals and reduces pollution. For example, students ④who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. However, students who forget their bags may still ⑤purchases 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.

Last New Year's Day, I wrote three goals in my diary: reading more books, exercising regularly, and saving money for a bicycle. Today, exactly one year later, I opened that old page and ①frowned at how much had changed. I did not finish all twelve books I had planned, but I read six, which was still more than the year before. My exercise habit became the biggest ②surprise, since I now run almost every morning without feeling forced. Saving money was ③harder than I expected, since unexpected expenses kept appearing. Still, I saved enough for half of the bicycle, and I felt quite ④proud of that progress. Looking back, I realized that steady effort matters more than reaching every goal exactly as planned, and I stayed ⑤hopeful about what the next year might bring.

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.

Summer heat can be just as ①harmless for pets as it is for people. Dogs and cats cannot cool their bodies as easily as humans, so owners must take extra care during hot days. Always provide plenty of fresh water, and change it several times a day to keep it ②cool. Avoid walking your dog during the hottest hours, since hot pavement can ③burn sensitive paws. Never leave a pet alone in a parked car, since the temperature inside can rise ④dangerously fast. Make sure your pet has access to a ⑤shaded area at all times.

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.

Every day, we leave behind marks of the gases that warm our planet, much like footprints left in wet sand. These marks, often called our carbon footprint, _______________. Many students think that only large factories create these marks, but ordinary habits at home also matter greatly. For example, turning off lights when leaving a room reduces the energy that power plants must produce. 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. 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.

Air conditioners make summer days more comfortable, but using them incorrectly can harm your health. Many people set the temperature far below the outdoor temperature to cool down quickly. However, doctors recommend ___________. A larger gap forces your body to adjust constantly, which can weaken your immune system and cause headaches, fatigue, and a stuffy nose.

When summer vacation began, I decided to make a daily schedule so that I would not waste my free time. At first, my plan was too strict, with study sessions packed back to back and almost no breaks. After only three days, I felt exhausted and gave up on the schedule completely. This experience taught me that ___________. My older sister suggested that I make a more realistic plan instead, with just two or three main goals for each day and short breaks between tasks.

Attention, students! Our school festival is going green this year, and we truly need your help. This event aims to reduce the disposable waste that usually piles up during the celebration. (A) First, please bring your own cup, plate, and utensils to every food booth you visit. Second, each booth should use reusable decorations rather than paper banners that get thrown away within hours. (B) If your booth needs supplies, please contact the student council office before Friday. Let us work together to create a festival that is both fun and eco-friendly. (C) Students who join as Green Helpers will manage the recycling stations, sorting cans, bottles, and paper carefully all day long. Therefore, everyone's small cooperation will directly lower the amount of trash sent to the landfill. However, single-use plastic bags are strictly prohibited at every booth this year.
