Ⅴ. Choose the best answers to complete the passage below.
I used to stare at my reflection and feel disappointed. The part I disliked most was my 1 — a small, star-shaped birthmark on my left cheek. “Why can’t I have clear skin like others?” I often wondered. Every morning, I would spend extra time 2 it with makeup instead of eating breakfast with my family.
At school, I avoided sitting near windows where sunlight might make the birthmark more visible. When classmates asked about it, I pretended not to hear or quickly 3 the topic. My best friend, Zoe, once said kindly, “Your birthmark is actually pretty cool!” But I replied, “No, it’s just a 4.”
Everything changed last spring. Our art teacher showed us a documentary about Frida Kahlo, a famous painter who celebrated her unique looks. “True beauty,” the teacher said, “comes from being 5 to yourself.” Her words made me realise I had a 6 — to keep hiding or start accepting.
That night, I wrote in my diary: “What’s the 7 between a ‘flaw’ and a ‘special mark’? Maybe my birthmark isn’t something to hate. Maybe it’s like a 8 that makes me unforgettable.”
The next day, I went to school 9 any makeup. My hands were shaking, but to my surprise, nobody laughed. A girl in my class even said, “Your birthmark looks like a tiny star — it’s 10!” Now when I see it, I feel proud instead of being ashamed.
This journey taught me that accepting yourself isn’t about being perfect. It’s about changing your 11, not your appearance. Confidence grows when you stop 12 others’ opinions and start loving what makes you 13. As Frida Kahlo said, “I am my own muse.” From this experience, I learned that real beauty shines when we 14 ourselves, 15 waiting for the world’s approval.
