Sorting your trash correctly is one of the simplest habits ①that protect our environment. When you separate paper, plastic, glass, and cans, recycling centers can process each material more efficiently. For example, plastic bottles should be rinsed and ②have their caps removed before being thrown away. Paper ③soaked with food or oil, however, cannot be recycled and must go into general waste. Sorting garbage is similar to organizing a closet, where each type of clothing ④have its own shelf. If items are mixed together carelessly, finding ⑤what you need later becomes difficult.

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 ① steady as the red light on the camera turned on. Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly ② forgot the next line completely. For a few seconds, only ③ 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 ④ calmly continued reading from where I had stopped. Somehow, my voice sounded ⑤ 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 small mistakes rarely matter as much as we fear.

Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment. Used batteries, which contain ①harmful chemicals, should never be thrown away with regular trash. If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. Therefore, our building has ②installed a special collection box for used batteries near the main entrance. Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. The box, which is emptied every month, is ③easy for anyone to use. For example, small button batteries from watches and toys can also be dropped in the box. However, batteries that are still ④broken should not be thrown away at all. We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood ⑤clean and safe. Thank you for your cooperation and kindness.

More and more teenagers today dream of starting their own business someday. This growing interest is partly due to the internet, which makes it ①easy to reach customers without a physical store. Starting a small business also teaches skills that traditional classes rarely offer, such as ②managing money, marketing a product, and handling customer complaints. However, young entrepreneurs face real ③challenges too. Many lack enough money or experience to make their business grow quickly, and mistakes can feel ④encouraging at first. Still, most teen entrepreneurs say that failure taught them more than any success did, and schools now offer entrepreneurship clubs to support these ⑤beginners.

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. (A) Wearing dark clothing during these hours can make a student almost invisible until a car is dangerously close. (B) 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. (C) Part of the danger comes from convenience: students often cut across a busy street rather than walking the extra minute to the nearest crosswalk, assuming they can judge the traffic gap correctly.

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. (A) 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. (B) 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. (C) 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.

Pets need extra care and attention when the summer heat becomes intense. (A) It is also important to avoid walking your dog during the hottest hours, since hot pavement can burn its paws. (B) First, always provide plenty of fresh, cool water throughout the day. (C) Most importantly, never leave a pet alone in a parked car, even for a few minutes.

Minjun used to leave half of his lunch tray full of untouched rice and vegetables every day. (A) However, his teacher explained that leftover food thrown away every day adds up to a huge amount of waste. She compared uneaten food to money dropped carelessly on the street, which nobody bothers to pick up. (B) Last spring, his class started a campaign called "Clean Plate Day" to reduce food waste, but at first, Minjun thought it sounded boring and unnecessary for someone like him. (C) This comparison surprised Minjun because he had never thought about food that way before. He decided to take only what he could finish and to try new vegetables slowly. Within a few weeks, his tray was almost always empty, and he felt proud of the change. Other students noticed his effort and began doing the same thing.

A single careless movement, in other words, could ruin an entire page of otherwise careful work. When a classmate began writing her diary entries in elaborate, flowing calligraphy instead of ordinary handwriting, I assumed she was simply trying to make her notebook look decorative. ( ① ) Curious, I asked her to teach me one afternoon, and I quickly discovered that calligraphy demands far more patience than I had expected. ( ② ) Every stroke has to be planned before the pen touches the paper, since a brush pen cannot be casually corrected once ink has already spread across the page. ( ③ ) She told me that slowing her hand down to this deliberate pace actually helped her think more clearly, because rushing through a sentence in calligraphy simply was not physically possible. ( ④ ) What began as decoration for her gradually became a kind of meditation, a rare part of her day when she could not multitask or hurry. ( ⑤ ) I left that lesson with ink-stained fingers and a newfound respect for how much concentration a single beautifully written word can require.

주어진 문장: This small effort makes the recycling process faster and more efficient for everyone. Dear residents, this notice explains how to use our apartment recycling area correctly. The recycling area, located behind the main entrance, is open every day from six to ten in the evening. ① First, sort your items into the labeled sections for paper, plastic, glass, and cans before dropping them off. ② Boxes should be flattened, and bottles should be emptied, because dirty items are hard to recycle. However, please do not leave large furniture or electronics in this area at any time. ③ Instead, contact the management office to arrange a separate pickup for those bulky items. For example, broken chairs and old refrigerators require a special sticker before collection. ④ In contrast to ordinary trash, recyclable materials must never be mixed together in one bag. ⑤ Following these simple rules keeps our shared space tidy for every family.
