영어 모의고사 (자동 편성)

Last spring, Minji joined a new club at her school ①called the Green Runners. Every Saturday morning, the members ②jogs around the neighborhood park while picking up trash. This activity, ③called plogging, combines jogging with cleaning up litter from the streets. At first, Minji felt embarrassed to pick up garbage in front of other people. However, she soon realized that her small actions were making the park cleaner and healthier. For example, the group collected more than twenty bags of trash during their first month together. Picking up litter while running is like turning an ordinary workout into a meaningful mission. Minji's legs grew tired, but her heart felt proud after every session. Now, she encourages her friends, ④who used to tease her, to join the club as well. Minji believes that small habits, ⑤practiced together, can change a whole community.

Writing a personal statement can feel overwhelming, but a few simple strategies ①make the process easier. First, avoid ②to list your achievements simply; instead, explain what each experience taught you and how it shaped your goals. Second, use specific examples rather than vague statements, since details make your story more ③convincing and memorable. Third, keep your tone honest and natural, because reviewers can easily notice writing ④that sounds forced or overly formal. Finally, always proofread carefully, since small errors can ⑤distract readers from an otherwise strong statement.

Stairs seem too ① ordinary to be dangerous, which is why many people treat them carelessly, texting, carrying an armful of books, or skipping two steps at a time. Emergency room records tell a ② different story: falls on stairways send more people to the hospital each year than almost any other household accident. Familiarity ③ discourages a kind of autopilot mode, in which a person stops looking at each step and instead relies on memory of where the stairs should be, a habit that fails the moment something ④ unexpected occurs, such as a missing step or a loose railing. Safety officials recommend a few ⑤ unglamorous habits: keep one hand free, use the handrail, and turn on the light before stepping onto a dark staircase.

For our club's spring project, we were told to create a sculpture using only materials collected from the school's recycling bins, and my first reaction was disappointment at not being allowed to buy proper art supplies. Sorting through flattened cardboard, broken umbrella frames, and plastic bottle caps, I initially saw nothing but trash. My perspective shifted once a senior member showed me a piece she had built the previous year, a bird made entirely of bent bicycle spokes and bottle caps, each cap functioning as a single feather. She explained that _______________. By the end of the project, our team had built a small forest of figures using nothing that anyone had paid for, and the exhibit visitors seemed more curious about our materials than about any technique we had used.

When Suji transferred to a new school in March, she knew no one in her class and felt lonely during lunch and breaks. Her homeroom teacher suggested _______________. Suji signed up for the photography club, though she had never taken photography seriously before. At the first meeting, older members taught her how to adjust a camera and find a good angle. Because everyone shared photos and gave friendly feedback each week, Suji gradually felt more comfortable with the other members. One rainy afternoon, a fellow member, Hana, invited her to photograph the flooded schoolyard together. They laughed while trying to keep their cameras dry, and that moment grew into a real friendship. By the end of the semester, Suji had a small group of friends who understood her sense of humor.

Riding a bicycle is one of the most popular ways for teenagers to get around, yet many students still skip the one piece of equipment that could save their life: the helmet. Some argue that a short trip to a nearby store does not require any special protection, since the risk of a serious accident feels distant and unlikely. However, _______________. A sudden pothole, a car door opening without warning, or a patch of gravel can throw even an experienced cyclist off balance in an instant. Wearing a helmet does not prevent a fall, but it dramatically reduces the chance of a serious head injury when one occurs.

One Saturday morning, Jiho carried a heavy bag of old clothes to the donation box near his apartment. He had grown taller over the winter, so many shirts no longer fit him. (A) Therefore, Jiho folded each shirt neatly and placed them gently inside the box. In contrast to his first careless idea, he now felt genuinely happy about his choice. Walking home, Jiho realized that small actions could create meaningful change for others. (B) At first, he almost threw the clothes into the regular trash without thinking twice. (C) However, his older sister reminded him that clean clothes could still help someone else. She explained that donating clothes was like giving a plant a second chance to grow. For example, a jacket he had outgrown might keep another child warm this winter.

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.

주어진 문장: In other words, the record shows how a student thought and acted, not merely which club they joined. Many students wonder why club activities matter so much for their school life record, a document that summarizes what a student did during each semester. ① Whenever students take part in a club, their teacher writes a short note describing what role they played and how they grew. ② For example, a student who organized a club exhibition might be described as someone who showed strong leadership and creativity. These notes are not simply a list of activities; they explain the process behind each achievement. ③ Therefore, admissions officers at universities read the record carefully to understand a student's genuine interests, not just their grades. In contrast, a club membership with no real participation rarely leaves a meaningful impression. ④ This is why teachers encourage students to take an active role rather than joining a club only for its name. ⑤

주어진 문장: This small effort makes the recycling process faster and more efficient for everyone. Dear residents, this notice explains how to use our apartment recycling area correctly. The recycling area, located behind the main entrance, is open every day from six to ten in the evening. ① First, sort your items into the labeled sections for paper, plastic, glass, and cans before dropping them off. ② Boxes should be flattened, and bottles should be emptied, because dirty items are hard to recycle. However, please do not leave large furniture or electronics in this area at any time. ③ Instead, contact the management office to arrange a separate pickup for those bulky items. For example, broken chairs and old refrigerators require a special sticker before collection. ④ In contrast to ordinary trash, recyclable materials must never be mixed together in one bag. ⑤ Following these simple rules keeps our shared space tidy for every family.
