Reading Passage
The weathered town square was bathed in the golden glow of the late afternoon sun, its ancient cobblestones whispering stories of generations past. A gentle breeze carried the scent of blooming jasmine, mingling with the distant hum of life. Amidst this timeless setting, Eleanor paused, her eyes tracing the outline of the old fountain, now chipped and moss-covered. Memories flooded her mind — childhood laughter echoing in the narrow alleyways, her grandmother's soothing voice, and the promise of tomorrow. She felt a surge of nostalgia and a quiet hope that the town’s enduring spirit would carry her forward, just as it had countless others before her.
