[2026 宿迁期末]When Anita was young, she loved painting more than anything. Every afternoon, she 11 out of the window and drew the things outside. Her walls were covered with paintings of birds, flowers, and her little 12, Mimi.
One day, the school said there was a 13 competition. “The theme is ‘My Dream’,” the teacher said. Anita was 14. She spent several days working on her painting. It showed a girl painting in a big gallery(画廊), with people cheering for her.
A week later, it was time to hand in the painting. 15, Anita spilled some water on it by accident. The colours ran in all directions, and the picture became 16. She felt sad and cried loudly. “I’m not good at painting at all,” she thought, throwing her 17 away.
Her grandma saw her and sat down. “Do you remember when you learned to ride a bike?” she asked. “You fell many times, but you never 18.” Anita nodded. Grandma went on, “Mistakes are just steps to success. Pick up your brush again.”
Anita took a deep breath. She got new paper and started painting again. This time, she painted her 19 warm smile, the bright sunflowers in the garden, and even her little cat lying beside the flowers. She used her favourite yellow for the 20 and pink for grandma’s face.
