I took a walk along the beach, feeling the sun's warmth on my skin and the sand under
my feet. As I walked, I noticed a beautiful shell on the ground. I picked it up and examined
it, amazed at its unique shape and colors.
As I looked around, I noticed that every shell on the beach was different. They were all
special, just like people. This made me stop and think about my own life.
I had always had trouble in socializing and comparing myself to others. I felt like I was
never good enough, and it had affected how I see myself negatively. But as I held the shell
in my hand, I realized that it was important to be myself.
I didn't need to fit in or seek the approval of others. I just needed to be true to myself
and appreciate my own uniqueness. With this fresh understanding, I felt a sense of peace
and acceptance wash over me. I realized that true happiness came from within, and I didn't
need anyone else's approval to be happy.
From that day on, I have lived my life with confidence and learn the accept the way I

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, there lived a young girl named
Sophia. She was kind and gentle. Yes, she was very shy and often felt lonely. She
wanted to make friends and explore the world. Yet, she was too afraid to have an
adventure beyond the castle walls.
One day, Sophia stumbled upon a small, glittering object hidden in the castle
gardens. She picked it up and held it in her hand. As soon as she did, she felt a
warm, comforting glow spread throughout her body. She looked at the object more
closely. She saw that it was a small, golden key.
Sophia did not know what the key was for. As she walked around the castle,
she discovered that the key could unlock any door, no matter how old or heavy it
was. Sophia was overjoyed. She was so excited that she explored the hidden
corners of the castle. After all, they had been forbidden to her before.
As she explored, she met other people who were also curious and adventurous.

The golden key became Sophia's most worthy possession. That’s why she
carried it with her wherever she went. It was a reminder to her that anything is
possible if you are brave and curious, and that friendship and adventure are always

Read the following text.

The nettle family is full of stinging plants, but none is quite as aggressive as the
Gympie-Gympie. One of six stinging trees is native to Australia and also found in Indonesia.
The Gympie-Gympie is one of the most dangerous plants in the world. The stinging
leaves trigger an intense allergic reaction in its victims, sometimes even
causing anaphylactic shock. The sting can cause intense, pain for months. People have
variously described it as feeling like they are being burned by acid.
The Gympie-Gympie has broad, oval or heart-shaped leaves with saw-tooth edges,
and white or purple-red fruit. The stems and fruit are also covered in the stinging hairs.
Although it is called a tree, the Gympie-Gympie is a soft-wooded shrub that can reach 4-5m.
However, it is also often found as a smaller shrub around 0.1-1m tall.
###
Stinging nettle is known for its stinging leaves. It is distributed nearly worldwide but is
especially common in Europe, North America, North Africa, and parts of Asia.
The stinging trichomes (plant hairs) of the leaves and stems have bulbous tips. They
break off when brushed against, showing needlelike tubes that pierce the skin. They inject a
mix of acetylcholine, formic acid, histamine, and serotonin. They cause an itchy, burning
rash in humans and other animals that may last up to 12 hours.
Stinging nettle is an herbaceous plant and often grows to about 2 metres in height.
The plant can spread vegetatively with its yellow creeping rhizomes and often forms dense
colonies. The toothed leaves grow oppositely along the stem. Both the stems and leaves are
covered with numerous stinging and non-stinging trichomes.
###

32. What is likely discussed in the missing paragraph noted with the sign ###?

When I was in Grade 7, our school had an educational trip to an orphanage. We
were asked to bring whatever we wanted to donate. My mother gave me some of my old
toys, clothes and sweets.
As we entered the orphanage all the kids gathered in a hall. There were children of
all ages. They strayed at us with eyes full of hope. We were asked to dish the things out
to the children and spent some time with them. They were so excited to receive these old
things. From our conversation, we learned that they had only two to three dresses to
wear, one plate and a bowl for their food. Even the food was always the same and
limited. They didn’t have many varieties of food to eat. They shared toys to play with.
They could not demand for anything. I felt so sorry for these children for they were
missing all those care and love. This made me realized how fortunate I am to receive all
the luxury.
Visiting the orphanage was a life changing experience for me. From that day I
started to appreciate the little things in life. I don’t demand for unimportant things
anymore. I liked helping others. I also started to understand my mother’s advice. With
her help, over time, I learn how to deal with my emotions and situations. These
