Through structured exercises, students learn how personal experiences help deepen understanding of a text.

Sample Answer:  
I can relate to Ishaan’s experience when I tried something new for the first time, like speaking on stage. I felt nervous and unsure, just like he did during his journey. However, I stayed calm and completed my task. In the end, I felt proud and more confident. This experience taught me that trying new things can feel difficult at first, but it helps us grow stronger and more confident.
