To create the boxes where Learners can type, you go to Insert >Data Entry and select Text Entry. I did this 2 times, one for "My name is" and one for "I am from."

Hi Rebecca, you are a life saver. thank you thank you for the steps.
Did some changes based on your concept. Was able to make the box at the blank area change colour instead of the whole sentence.
