Dear Ms. Alvarez, I am the coordinator of the Eastside Community Garden, and I am writing to ask for your help. Every spring we hold a seed swap, but this year our usual meeting hall is being repaired. Your bookstore has a large reading room that is empty on Saturday mornings. Would you allow us to use it on April 20 from 9 a.m. to noon? We would set up and clean everything ourselves, and we would gladly mention your store in our flyers. Thank you for considering our request.

I had been rehearsing my speech for three weeks, but as I walked toward the stage, my hands began to shake. The hall seemed enormous, and hundreds of faces stared back at me. My throat felt dry, and I could hardly remember my first sentence. Then I noticed my grandmother in the front row, smiling and nodding. I took a deep breath and began to speak. By the end, my voice was steady, and when the audience applauded, a warm joy filled my chest.

20. 다음 글에서 필자가 주장하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은? [2점]

Many students believe that the best way to learn is to study for hours without a break. However, research on memory shows that our attention drops sharply after about forty-five minutes of continuous work. A short walk, a stretch, or even a few minutes of quiet can refresh the mind and help it store what has been learned. Students who take regular breaks usually remember more than those who push through exhaustion. Rest, therefore, is not a waste of study time but a part of it.
