주어진 문장: It was a small decision, but it suddenly felt like the beginning of something new. On the first day of the club fair, the gym was filled with noise and color. ① Every table had a banner, and members called out to new first-graders like me. My friend Somin dragged me toward the robotics club, insisting it would suit me. ② However, the long list of coding projects looked too complicated for a beginner. Just then, I noticed a quiet table where students were sketching posters together. ③ A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club welcomed complete beginners. She showed me a sketchbook filled with simple drawings by first-year members. ④ 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. ⑤ Walking out of the gym, I finally felt that I belonged in this new school.

주어진 문장: This is because the brain naturally pays more attention to things that are connected to a person's goals. Many students who reach their goals share one habit: they picture the goal clearly before they even start working.

( ② ) For example, a student who dreams of studying abroad might make a board filled with photos of a foreign campus and a list of steps to get there. ( ③ ) Seeing these images every day keeps the goal fresh in mind and reminds the student why the effort matters. ( ④ ) Visualization also helps people notice small opportunities they might otherwise miss. ( ⑤ ) In addition, picturing success in advance can lower anxiety, because the mind grows familiar with the process instead of fearing an unknown outcome.
