“Umm ... beaches, sunshine, and ... ice-cream!” said Mike.
“Well, there you go. That’s how you paint it. Start working!” said Mr White.
Sam was already 7_. He splashed （泼洒）large amounts of paint all over the 8 . It was really beautiful! There were shapes that we didn't have in the real world and the colours were so shining. The whole class __9_ and Sam looked proud.
