1. Let us read a few passages from Ritika’s diary for April 20, 20....... .

April 20, 20........ 9:15 pm
Today was Sushmita’s birthday party. It was her thirteenth birthday. She has
entered her teenage. She was looking like a doll today. The party was awesome.
Everyone had a lot of fun. Even I was enjoying my maximum.

But, when I was dancing after dinner, my dress got torn from the side. I wore my
red dress which my brother gifted me last month when I stood first in the class. I
was so embarrassed. I didn’t know what to do. Thankfully, Sunita had a shrug and
I wore it over my dress. No one else noticed it except her. She saved me today.

I have gained 5 kgs of weight in last few months. I promise to join aerobics classes
from tomorrow and also jog in the morning. I know I can do it. This time I’m
going to keep my promise.
