Exercise 5 – Sample Answer (Paragraph)  
**A Memorable Event**  
Last summer, I went to a science fair with my class. It was a memorable event because I learned so many things about space and technology. There were several models of rockets and planets, and the students explained how they made them. I also participated in a quiz competition where I answered a few questions about the solar system. The event was very educational, and I had a lot of fun. It was a day I will never forget, and I can’t wait to participate again next year!
