On the first day of winter break, my friend Yuna and I sat in a cafe and talked about the new year ahead. Instead of ①making separate plans, we decided to write our goals together on one sheet of paper. Yuna wanted ②improving her English speaking, while I wanted to wake up earlier every morning. We agreed ③to text each other every night to report what we had done that day. Yuna, ④who noticed my short replies, called me instead of just texting. Because we supported each other through difficult moments, both of us ⑤successfully reached our goals by spring.

Most students only see the final result, a few ① smooth minutes each morning. Behind that short program, however, broadcasting club members follow a ② relaxed daily routine. Members arrive at school thirty minutes earlier than other students to prepare the studio. They check the microphones, the cameras, and the lighting before anyone else arrives. Meanwhile, the script team ③ finalizes the news script that was written the night before. Once everything is ready, the anchors ④ practice their lines one last time. At exactly eight o'clock, the red light turns on, and the live broadcast begins. During class hours, however, most members return to their regular classroom lessons like everyone else. After school, the club meets again to ⑤ review that morning's recording and discuss any mistakes. Through this daily routine, members slowly learn skills such as teamwork and quick thinking under pressure.

Students often groan when a classic novel appears on their reading list, complaining that the language feels old-fashioned and the plot moves too slowly. It is true that classic literature can be harder to read than a modern bestseller. Yet this very difficulty is part of why classics remain valuable for young readers today, because _______________. Beyond language training, classic novels also explore themes such as jealousy, ambition, and loss that have not changed much across centuries.

Whether or not a goal is motivating often depends on how clear it is. (A) For example, a student who simply decides to study harder often loses direction because the plan is too vague. (B) In contrast, a student who sets a clear goal, such as raising an English score by ten points, knows exactly what to do every day. (C) This is because a clear goal gives the brain an exact target to focus on, which makes progress easy to measure and keeps people motivated.

At first, Minji did not know how to fix the tension she had caused during rehearsals. (A) Soon, other members began doing the same, and rehearsals felt warmer than before. (B) She decided to start each practice by praising one small thing a classmate had done well. (C) The next day, she tried her new idea, and the room grew quiet as everyone listened.

Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know what these marks mean. (A) Each symbol contains a number that shows what material the item is made of. For instance, the number one usually stands for clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. (B) Reading these marks is similar to reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Without checking the label, you might buy something unhealthy by mistake. (C) Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a reusable item straight to a landfill. Some marks even show that a material cannot be recycled at all, so it must be sorted separately. Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more effective for everyone involved.

Yuna bought a disposable coffee cup every morning on her way to school. (A) One day, her science teacher showed the class a photo of a beach covered with plastic cups and bottles. Yuna felt shocked because she realized her small daily habit was part of a larger problem. (B) She never thought about where those cups ended up after she threw them away. (C) That evening, she found an old tumbler hidden in a kitchen drawer and decided to use it every day. At first, carrying the tumbler felt inconvenient, and she often forgot to bring it to school. However, she kept a reminder note on her bag, which helped her remember it each morning. Within a month, using the tumbler had become as natural as brushing her teeth. Her friends noticed the change and asked where she had bought the tumbler.

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.
