문제 1

Every summer, lifeguards repeat the same warnings to swimmers, yet drowning remains one of the most common causes of accidental death among teenagers. Part of the problem is that danger in water rarely ① looks dramatic; a swimmer struggling to stay afloat often makes little noise and shows no obvious signs of panic, which means bystanders may not realize help ② needing until it is too late. Rip currents present a particularly deceptive threat, since the water's surface can appear calm even while a powerful current ③ pulls a swimmer steadily away from shore. Experts advise that anyone caught in such a current should swim parallel to the beach rather than ④ struggling directly against it, since fighting the current head-on quickly exhausts even a strong swimmer. Simple habits, such as swimming near a lifeguard station and never entering the water alone, dramatically lower the risk of a minor mistake ⑤ turning into a fatal one.

For each item, write a short reflection explaining what you learned and why it ②mattered to you. Update your portfolio regularly instead of waiting until graduation, since memories of small experiences ③strengthen quickly. Ask a teacher or mentor to review it occasionally and offer ④feedback. A well-organized portfolio helps you understand your own ⑤growth over time.

문제 4

A food allergy can turn an ordinary snack shared between classmates into a medical ① emergency within minutes, which is why schools now take ingredient labels more seriously than they once did. 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 ② life-threatening if untreated. 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 ③ larger than a crumb. 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 ④ severe. Many schools now train staff to use an epinephrine auto-injector, a device that can ⑤ reverse a dangerous reaction within seconds.

These emerging jobs ③share one common feature: they combine technical skill with the ability to solve real-world problems.
