My grandmother keeps a wooden cabinet filled with tiny furniture, each piece no larger than a fingernail, that she ① has been building for over a decade as a miniature hobby. When I first saw the cabinet, I ② assuming the appeal was simply how impressively small and precise the pieces looked. Talking with her while she worked, though, I learned that the real challenge lies in ③ imagining an entire, believable world at a scale the eye can barely process. She once spent three weekends ④ carving a single tiny bookshelf, only to leave two of its shelves deliberately empty, explaining that a completely full room would look staged rather than lived-in. That small decision taught me that miniature craft is not primarily about precision, but about convincingly imagining an ordinary life small enough ⑤ to fit inside a shoebox.

Setting a career plan early in high school ①offers several important benefits. First, having a general direction helps students ②choose subjects and activities that support their goals. Second, a plan gives students a sense of purpose, ③which can make schoolwork feel more meaningful. However, an effective career plan should remain flexible, since interests and circumstances often ④changes during the teenage years. Career counselors therefore recommend ⑤reviewing a plan every few months and adjusting it based on new experiences.

Our school is starting a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign to help everyone begin the year with ①vague direction. During the first week of January, every student will receive a small goal card in homeroom class and write one ②personal goal along with two simple steps. After completing the card, students must ③submit it to their homeroom teacher by January 9th. All goal cards will then be ④displayed on the bulletin board outside the library, so students can encourage one another. Students who show clear progress will receive a small prize, which we hope will ⑤motivate everyone to keep trying.

Every morning, our broadcasting club airs a short news program for the entire school. Last Tuesday, I was chosen to read the weather report for the very first time. My hands were shaking as the red light on the camera turned on. Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly forgot the next line completely. For a few seconds, only silence filled the studio, and I could hear my own heartbeat. My partner Minho, who was sitting beside me, quickly slid the script closer to me. I took a deep breath and calmly continued reading from where I had stopped. Somehow, my voice sounded steadier than I expected, and I finished the report smoothly. After the broadcast ended, several classmates told me they had not even noticed the pause. That morning taught me that _______________.

Every spring, our school holds an art exhibition in the main hallway, and this year I finally submitted a painting of my own. For weeks, I compared my work to my classmates' drawings and felt sure that mine was not good enough to hang beside theirs. My art teacher noticed my hesitation and said something I did not expect: _______________. On the morning the paintings went up, I walked past dozens of styles, from careful realistic portraits to messy, colorful abstractions, and none of them looked like mine. Standing in that crowded hallway, I finally understood that the exhibition's real purpose was not to rank the paintings, but to let students discover how many different perspectives could exist in a single shared space.

주어진 문장: This is often because their goals are too vague or unrealistic to follow. Many people make new year's resolutions, but few actually achieve them. ( ① ) One helpful method for solving this problem is called SMART goal setting. ( ② ) First, a goal should be specific, describing exactly what you want to do instead of using vague words. ( ③ ) Second, it should be measurable, so you can check your progress with clear numbers. ( ④ ) Third, it should be achievable, fitting your situation without being too difficult to reach. ( ⑤ ) Finally, it should be relevant to your life and time-bound with a clear deadline.

주어진 문장: Determined not to give up completely, she decided to find out what had gone wrong. Last January, Minji decided that she would run three kilometers every morning before school. ( ① ) For the first week, she woke up early and ran happily, feeling proud of her new habit. ( ② ) However, after a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping, and soon she stopped running altogether. ( ③ ) By February, she felt disappointed and believed she simply lacked willpower. ( ④ ) One evening, her older brother asked her why the plan had failed, and together they looked closely at her daily schedule. ( ⑤ ) They realized that running before sunrise in freezing weather had been too difficult to maintain, so she changed her plan and decided to run after school instead, when the weather was warmer and she had more energy.

주어진 문장: Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props to explain the goal clearly. Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium. ( ① ) Every student is invited to share one personal goal for this year in front of classmates and teachers. ( ② ) Students who wish to participate must submit a short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd. ( ③ ) The event will begin at two o'clock and will end with light refreshments for everyone who attended. ( ④ ) Prizes will be given for the most creative goal and the most inspiring presentation, chosen by a panel of teachers. ( ⑤ ) We hope this event will encourage students to think seriously about their goals and support one another throughout the new year.

Not every family reacts the same way, however. When I told my parents I wanted to become a musician, I expected them to worry about money and stability. ( ① ) Instead, my father surprised me by asking what kind of music made me feel most alive. ( ② ) My mother, who had once dreamed of becoming a painter herself, admitted that she still wondered what her life might have looked like. ( ③ ) Their honesty made me realize that parents' influence on career choices is not always about pressure or control; sometimes, it comes quietly through shared stories and unfinished dreams. ( ④ ) Some parents push their children toward careers they consider safer. ( ⑤ ) Still, my parents' support taught me that the most helpful kind of guidance often respects a child's own voice instead of replacing it.

Yet not everyone is convinced that turning reading into a game is entirely positive. A growing number of teenagers are joining book clubs that exist only on their phones. ( ① ) These apps let users track how many pages they read each day, write short reviews, and join group chats about a chosen book. ( ② ) Some students say the apps make reading feel less lonely, because they can share their honest reactions the moment they finish a chapter instead of waiting for a weekly meeting. ( ③ ) The apps also use gentle reminders and reading streaks to keep members motivated, turning a private habit into a small social game. ( ④ ) However, a few teachers worry that constant notifications from a reading app can pull attention away from the book itself, since users may spend more time chatting about the story than actually reading it. ( ⑤ ) Despite this concern, many students report that the sense of community keeps them reading books they would have quit halfway through if they had been reading completely alone.
