Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium. Every student ①is invited 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 ②to explain the goal clearly. Students ③who wish to participate must submit a short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd. The event, held in the auditorium at two o'clock, will ④ending with light refreshments for everyone who attended. Prizes will be given for the most creative goal and the most inspiring presentation, ⑤chosen by a panel of teachers.

A goal should be specific, which means ①describing exactly what you want to do instead of using vague words. It should also be measurable, so you can check your progress with numbers, such as ②counting pages read or minutes exercised. A goal should be achievable, meaning it ③fit your current situation and is not too difficult to reach. It should also be relevant, ④which means it truly matters to your life and interests. Finally, a goal should be time-bound, ⑤having a clear deadline that pushes you to take action instead of waiting.

Have you ever wondered why some people stay motivated while others give up quickly? The answer often lies in ___________. When people have no specific goal, they usually feel confused about where to start, and their interest fades within days. For example, a student who simply decides to study harder this year often loses direction because the plan is too vague. 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. This clarity creates strong motivation because the brain naturally focuses on a clear target. Setting a specific goal is one of the most effective ways to build lasting motivation.

Many students give up on their New Year goals because the goals feel too big to handle. For example, becoming fluent in English this year sounds exciting, but it can quickly feel overwhelming. A more effective approach is to ___________. Instead of focusing on the entire year, try setting a goal for just one week, such as learning twenty new words. Once you complete that small step, move on to the next one, and gradually build toward the bigger goal.

Last New Year's Day, I wrote three goals in my diary: reading more books, exercising regularly, and saving money for a bicycle. Today, exactly one year later, I opened that old page and smiled at how much had changed. I did not finish all twelve books I had planned, but I read six, which was still more than the year before. My exercise habit became the biggest surprise, and saving money was harder than I expected since unexpected expenses kept appearing. Still, I saved enough for half of the bicycle. Looking back, I realized that ___________, and I kept trying, adjusted my methods, and learned something new about myself along the way.

Last January, Minji decided that she would run three kilometers every morning before school, but after a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping and soon stopped running altogether. By February, she felt disappointed and believed she simply lacked willpower. One evening, her older brother asked her why the plan had failed, and together they looked closely at her daily schedule. They realized that running before sunrise in freezing weather had been too difficult to maintain. So Minji changed her plan and decided to run after school instead, when the weather was warmer and she had more energy. This experience taught her that ___________.

Summer sunlight can be harmful to your skin, but a few habits can protect you. (A) In addition, wearing a hat and sunglasses helps shield your face and eyes from direct sunlight. (B) First, apply sunscreen with a high SPF before going outside, and reapply it every two hours. (C) Finally, try to stay in the shade during the hours when UV rays are strongest.

The Hopeful Start Workshop offers a simple way for students to plan their new year goals. (A) First, the workshop will run from two to four in the afternoon on January 10th at the Green Hill Community Center. (B) During the session, participants will learn how to write specific, measurable goals and break them into small weekly steps. (C) Finally, students who wish to join should register online or call the front desk before January 8th, since seats are limited to thirty people.

Keeping track of progress is just as important as setting the goal itself. (A) For instance, someone learning guitar might record which songs they practiced each week, and looking back later reveals real growth. (B) This kind of tracking also helps identify problems early, so a person can adjust the plan before too much time is wasted. (C) A simple way to do this is keeping a log, such as a weekly checklist or a short journal entry.

This sudden and violent stop is precisely what causes so many of the most severe injuries in a crash. Seatbelts are so woven into the experience of riding in a car that many passengers buckle them without thinking, yet a surprising number of teenagers still skip them for short trips, assuming that a five-minute drive to a friend's house does not carry much risk. ( ① ) Traffic safety data tell a different story: most fatal crashes occur within a few kilometers of home, on roads drivers know so well that they let their guard down. ( ② ) In a collision, a body traveling at a moderate speed continues moving forward at that same speed until something stops it, and without a seatbelt, that something is often the windshield or the dashboard rather than a slower deceleration. ( ③ ) A seatbelt spreads the force of a sudden stop across the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips and chest, instead of concentrating it on the head and neck. ( ④ ) Despite decades of public awareness campaigns, seatbelt use for backseat passengers remains lower than for those sitting in the front. ( ⑤ )
