On the first day of the club fair, the gym was filled with noise and color. Every table had a banner, and members ① calling 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 ③ where students were sketching posters together. A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club welcomed complete beginners. She showed me a sketchbook ④ filled with simple drawings by first-year members. 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. Walking out of the gym, I finally felt ⑤ that I belonged in this new school.

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 ① 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 ② 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 ③ feather. She explained that upcycling art forces a creator to notice a material's natural shape and texture rather than simply painting over it, which often produces more ④ original results than starting with a blank, expensive canvas. 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 ⑤ indifferent to our materials, focusing only on our technique instead.

Physical education class often feels like the one period of the day when students can finally move freely, which sometimes leads them to skip the warm-up routine that teachers ① insist on before any real activity begins. Cold muscles, however, are noticeably less ② flexible than warmed ones, and stretching a stiff hamstring or ankle too quickly can cause a strain that keeps a student off the field for weeks rather than minutes. Beyond warming up, wearing proper footwear matters more than most students realize; running in worn-out sneakers with little grip left on the sole significantly ③ raises the chance of a twisted ankle on a gym floor or an outdoor field. Reporting a minor pain immediately, rather than pushing through it to finish a game, also ④ causes a small issue from becoming a repeated injury that lingers for an entire ⑤ season.

Choosing the right club can shape how a student feels about school life. Many first-graders join a club simply because their friends are joining it. However, experts suggest that _______________. A club that matches your interest keeps you motivated during a busy exam period. It also helps to think about how much time each club actually requires. Some clubs meet only once a week, while others practice almost every day. Skill level matters too, since a few clubs accept only experienced students. For this reason, most schools allow a short trial period before a final decision. During this period, new members can attend meetings without officially signing up. In the end, a good club should feel like a comfortable break from academic pressure.

Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. (A) A good list should also include stories from different cultures and different kinds of characters, so that every student can find someone to relate to. Reading level matters too, since a book that is too difficult can make a student give up on reading altogether. (B) Teachers often ask students for feedback after they finish a book, and they slowly update the list based on what students actually enjoyed. In the end, the best list keeps changing to match its readers. (C) Choosing these books is not as simple as picking well-known titles, because teachers must think about a wide range of student interests, not just their own favorites.

Keeping a new year's resolution is not always easy, but small changes can make a big difference. (A) In addition, I moved my book onto my desk instead of my phone, which helped me read a few pages every night. (B) At first, I followed my plan perfectly, but by the second week, I began skipping my morning jogs because I felt too tired. (C) Then my friend Mina offered to exercise with me, and having a partner made the habit much easier to keep.

When I finally got the chance to interview a professional webtoon artist for our school newspaper, I expected her to describe drawing as the hardest part of her job. (A) She sketches rough thumbnails for an entire chapter before touching a single detailed panel, testing whether the pacing keeps readers scrolling instead of losing interest halfway through. (B) Instead, she told me that writing the story comes first, often taking longer than the artwork itself. (C) She also reads every comment section carefully, not to copy what fans suggest, but to understand which moments made readers feel something real, and a single weekly episode usually takes her nearly forty hours to complete.

Every Friday afternoon, club members take turns cleaning the shared activity room before they leave for the day. (A) After sweeping the floor, they wipe down the tables and check that nothing has been left behind. (B) Finally, the last person to leave turns off all the lights and locks the door carefully. (C) The cleaning begins with someone collecting trash from the small bins near each desk.

This kind of outside feedback often reveals strengths you may not notice on your own. Building a career portfolio is a great way to track your growth throughout high school. ( ① ) A portfolio is simply a collection of your achievements, activities, and reflections. ( ② ) Start by choosing a format, such as a folder, a notebook, or a digital file. ( ③ ) Next, include items like club activities, volunteer work, certificates, and sample projects, along with a short reflection for each one. ( ④ ) Update your portfolio regularly instead of waiting until graduation, since memories of small experiences fade quickly. ( ⑤ ) In addition, ask a teacher or mentor to review it occasionally and offer feedback.

In fact, choosing the right books for the right students takes far more thought than most people realize. Many students imagine a librarian simply sitting behind a desk and stamping books. ( ① ) Ms. Han, who has worked at a school library for over ten years, says that image is far from accurate. ( ② ) A large part of her job involves choosing which new books to buy, based on both student requests and current trends in youth literature. ( ③ ) She also spends hours training students to search databases and judge whether an online source is trustworthy, a skill she considers just as important as reading itself. ( ④ ) According to Ms. Han, the most rewarding moment is not organizing shelves but watching a student who once avoided reading finally ask for a second book in the same series. ( ⑤ ) She admits that budgets are often tight and that new technology keeps changing how libraries operate. Still, she insists that the core purpose of her job has never changed: connecting each reader with the right book at the right time.
