Exercise 5 – Paragraph Writing (Fill in the Blanks) 
In a school in ‘Delhi’, a writing competition was announced where students had to describe a ‘rainy’ day. The announcement created ‘excitement’ across the classrooms, as many students loved the idea of capturing the mood of rain in ‘words’. Aarohi wrote a descriptive ‘paragraph’ focusing on imagery. She described the rain as ‘shining’ drops and the sky as a dark ‘blanket’. Meanwhile, Kabir wrote a paragraph focusing on ‘suspense’. He described the silence before the storm and the sudden ‘thunder’ that followed. His writing created tension and ‘curiosity’, making readers wonder what might happen next. Both students used different ‘styles’ to present the same theme of rain.
