On the first day of our improv theater workshop, the instructor ① gave us a rule that seemed impossible to follow: never say no to whatever another performer suggests. If a scene partner claimed the empty classroom was actually a submarine, our job was ② to accept that fact instantly and build on it, rather than correcting or rejecting the idea. I found this terrifying at first, since improv offers no script to hide behind and no time ③ to plan a clever line in advance. Over several weeks, though, I noticed that the students who worried most about saying something wrong were usually the ones who froze on stage, while those who simply accepted whatever happened and reacted honestly ④ creating the funniest, most memorable scenes. The instructor explained that improv is not really about being naturally quick-witted, but about ⑤ trusting a partner's idea enough to build on it rather than protecting your own.

Every semester, students groan when the fire alarm rings for another routine drill, ① filing out of the building as if the exercise were simply a break from class. This casual attitude, however, overlooks why the drill exists in the first place. During an actual fire, thick smoke can fill hallways within minutes, ② cutting visibility to almost nothing and making it dangerously easy to panic or take a wrong turn. Repeating the same evacuation route again and again trains the body ③ to move automatically, even when the mind is too frightened to think clearly. Firefighters note that students who ④ have practiced an escape route calmly walk toward the nearest exit purely out of habit, while those unfamiliar with the building often freeze or hesitate at doorways. A fire drill that feels pointless in the classroom can therefore ⑤ becoming the very reason a real evacuation succeeds without injury.

Our photography club meets every Thursday, and our advisor always ① repeats the same instruction before we leave campus: put the camera down for the first ten minutes and simply look around. At first this rule frustrated me, since I ② had join the club specifically to take pictures, not to stand around empty-handed. Over time, though, I noticed that the members who followed her advice most closely ③ tended to bring back the most interesting photographs. Instead of snapping dozens of rushed shots of the first flower or building they saw, they waited for a specific moment and ④ captured only that. A camera, our advisor explained, cannot teach a person what is worth noticing; it can only record what the photographer has already ⑤ decided matters.

Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium. Every student is ①invited to share one personal goal for this year in front of classmates and teachers. Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props to explain the goal ②clearly. Students who wish to participate must submit a ③short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd. Prizes will be given for the most ④creative goal and the most inspiring presentation, chosen by a panel of teachers. Participation is completely ⑤mandatory, so students who prefer not to present are still welcome to attend and watch.

For many students, the walk to school feels so routine that safety becomes an afterthought, yet a surprising number of accidents occur within a few blocks of the school gate. Part of the danger comes from convenience: _______________. This shortcut becomes especially risky during the darker months, when a driver's ability to spot a pedestrian drops sharply well before sunrise or after sunset.

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.

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.

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. (A) 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. (B) However, experts suggest that personal interest should always come before friendship. A club that matches your interest keeps you motivated during a busy exam period. (C) 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.

주어진 문장: So even complete beginners are always welcome to join us. Are you curious about capturing special moments around our school? The Photography Club is now looking for new members for this semester. ① We meet every Wednesday afternoon in Room 204, right after regular classes end. No experience is required, since senior members always teach the basics of using a camera. ② Each month, we choose a simple theme and take pictures together around the campus. ③ At the end of the semester, we hold a small exhibition to share our favorite photos. Members are also expected to bring their own camera or smartphone to every meeting. ④ If you enjoy taking pictures or want to try something new, please visit our booth this Friday. ⑤ Feel free to ask any current member if you have questions about joining.

Yet the more she corrected them, the quieter the room became. Last month, our class began practicing for the school choir contest, but rehearsals quickly turned tense. ( ① ) Minji, who had the loudest voice, kept correcting other members in the middle of songs. ( ② ) Several students felt hurt and began skipping practice, saying it felt more like criticism than teamwork. Our music teacher noticed the empty seats and asked what was happening. ( ③ ) Minji explained that she only wanted the group to sound perfect. However, Junho said her tone made people afraid to sing at all. ( ④ ) After an awkward silence, Minji admitted she had never noticed how her words affected others. So the class tried something new: each member shared one compliment before rehearsal began. ( ⑤ ) Slowly, the tension faded and attendance returned to normal. On the day of the contest, the choir sang together with real confidence and earned second place.
