12.3 Read the story
Hi, I’m Medha. Today, I found one of my notebooks I used for writing when I was in class one. But the funny part is, I can’t even understand what I wrote. At that time, I was learning to write. I couldn’t hold the pencil correctly. MEDHA’S DREAM
I couldn’t even draw a straight line. It reminded me of my childhood. I just loved to make doodles on my notebook and the wall of my room at that time. MEDHA’S DREAM
My parents and teacher worked hard to teach me handwriting. I did exercise a lot to improve my writing. My handwriting became good after a few years of practice. MEDHA’S DREAM
Now I am in class six. My handwriting is much better now. But my drawing skill is not good enough. But I learned from my childhood that, if I practise, I can improve anything. Now I’m practicing drawing a lot.
My drawing teacher encourages me to draw more. My drawing skill is becoming better day by day. I want to become an artist.
When I will become a painter, I will decorate my room with my painting. I am also fond of doing sketches. I will draw a picture of my parents and hang that in my room. I will also draw pictures of my favorite teachers and present these to them.
But I’m not good at sketching people. I am sure that my sketching skill will improve if I keep practicing. When I will be good enough at sketching, MEDHA’S DREAM I will fulfill my wishes. I also love to draw pictures of nature. Today, the sky is cloudy. It may rain today. If I can capture the scene in my drawing, it will be interesting.
