‘‘Exercise 5 – Paragraph Writing (Fill in the Blanks)’’ 
Aarav loved writing letters to his pen pal Elena, who lived in ‘Italy’. He often shared his worries about school projects and how he doubted his ‘abilities’. One day, his teacher announced a community project where students had to design ‘posters’ about protecting the environment. Aarav felt nervous, believing he needed his old ‘sketchbook’ to succeed. When he could not find it, he thought he would ‘fail’. Later, he remembered Elena’s advice from a past letter: “Confidence comes from ‘effort’, not from tools.” This memory gave him ‘courage’, and Aarav worked hard. His poster was praised for its ‘creativity’. Meanwhile, Elena faced her own challenge. Her school organized a cultural ‘exhibition’, and she had to present a story about ‘friendship’. At first, she felt helpless, but then she recalled Aarav’s words and spoke ‘confidently’.
