Sara was a little girl who loved to draw. She wanted {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （成为）a famous person in drawing one day. But sometimes, her drawings didn't turn out the way she wanted, and she felt sad. 

One day, Sara's teacher told the class about an art {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （竞赛）. Excited, Sara decided to enter. She worked hard on her drawing, but when she finished, she didn't like it very much. She felt {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （失望）.
