문제 1

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

문제 2

Many students think that reading a book quietly by themselves is enough, but book discussion classes add something that solo reading cannot provide. (A) When students explain their ideas out loud, they often discover thoughts they did not even know they had. Teachers who use discussion classes report that students remember plot details and themes far longer than students who only read silently and take a quiz afterward. (B) This happens because talking about a book forces the brain to organize scattered impressions into a clear argument. Discussion also teaches students to listen carefully, since they must respond directly to classmates instead of simply waiting for their own turn to speak. (C) Some students feel nervous about sharing their opinions at first, but most grow more confident after a few sessions. For these reasons, many schools are now adding weekly discussion sessions to their reading programs, even for short stories that used to be assigned only as silent homework.

문제 3

Many people throw away items that they no longer need. However, more and more students have begun to give old belongings a new purpose through secondhand trading. (A) For example, a jacket that no longer fits your older sibling can become a treasure for someone else, and giving an item to a new owner is like giving a toy a second life. (B) Therefore, secondhand trading, which requires little effort, protects both your wallet and the environment, and small choices like this can make a big difference for our planet. (C) This practice takes place at flea markets or through simple online apps, and when you buy a secondhand item, you save money and reduce waste at the same time.

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.

문제 5

Last spring, Minji joined a new club at her school called the Green Runners, and every Saturday morning, the members jog around the neighborhood park while picking up trash. (A) However, she soon realized that her small actions were making the park cleaner and healthier, and the group collected more than twenty bags of trash during their first month together. (B) At first, Minji felt embarrassed to pick up garbage in front of other people, since picking up litter while running is not something students usually do. (C) Now, she encourages her friends, who used to tease her, to join the club, because Minji believes that small habits, practiced together, can change a whole community.

문제 6

Have you ever thrown away an old pair of jeans simply because they no longer fit? Instead of discarding them, many people now turn old items into something new and useful. (A) However, upcycling differs from ordinary recycling, which usually breaks materials down before making something new. In upcycling, the original material keeps most of its form while gaining a fresh purpose. Therefore, choosing to upcycle rather than throw items away can reduce waste significantly. This small shift in thinking allows old objects to enjoy a meaningful second life. (B) This creative process, called upcycling, transforms unwanted objects into products with greater value than before. (C) For example, a worn pair of jeans can be cut and sewn into a sturdy bag or a small pouch. Old wooden pallets, once used for shipping, are often rebuilt into simple furniture such as tables and shelves.

문제 7

Simply naming these warning signs, however, does not guarantee that a child will know how to react in the moment. Teaching children to be cautious around strangers used to rely mainly on a single blunt warning: never talk to people you do not know. ( ① ) Child safety experts now argue that this advice is too simple to be useful, since most children will inevitably need to interact with unfamiliar adults, whether asking a store employee for help or greeting a new neighbor. ( ② ) A more effective approach focuses on specific situations rather than people in general, teaching children to recognize behavior that feels wrong, such as an adult asking a child to keep a secret from parents or offering a reason to get into a car alone. ( ③ ) Role-playing these scenarios in advance helps children respond quickly under pressure, rather than freezing because the situation feels unfamiliar and confusing. ( ④ ) Experts also emphasize that children should be taught they will never get in trouble for refusing an adult's request or for loudly saying no in public. ( ⑤ ) This is because hesitation caused by politeness can cost precious seconds in a genuine emergency.

주어진 문장: For example, small button batteries from watches and toys can also be dropped in the box. Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment. Used batteries, which contain harmful chemicals, should never be thrown away with regular trash. ① If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. ② Therefore, our building has installed a special collection box for used batteries near the main entrance. ③ Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. ④ The box, which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone to use. ⑤ However, batteries that are still working should not be thrown away at all. We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood clean and safe. Thank you for your cooperation and kindness.

문제 9

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.

문제 10

This is because waiting for paramedics to arrive can cost a student the few minutes that make the difference between recovery and tragedy. A food allergy can turn an ordinary snack shared between classmates into a medical emergency within minutes, which is why schools now take ingredient labels more seriously than they once did. ( ① ) For someone with a severe allergy, even a trace amount of the wrong ingredient, transferred by a shared spoon or an unwashed hand, can trigger a reaction that closes the airway and becomes life-threatening if untreated. ( ② ) Friends of allergic students sometimes assume that a small bite would not cause serious harm, not realizing that the amount needed to trigger anaphylaxis can be smaller than a crumb. ( ③ ) Recognizing the early signs, such as swelling around the lips, hives, or sudden difficulty breathing, allows classmates and teachers to act before the reaction becomes severe. ( ④ ) Many schools now train staff to use an epinephrine auto-injector, a device that can reverse a dangerous reaction within seconds. ( ⑤ )
