Ahmed and Faris were experienced adventurers. While exploring the vast desert of Rub' al
Khali, they stumbled upon an ancient ruin partially buried in the sand. This site had been a
mystery for years. This time, when they were studying the ancient inscriptions on the walls,
they noticed a series of symbols leading towards a hidden chamber. Ahmed said to Faris, "This
could be the key to unlocking the secrets of the old civilization."
Excited, they decided to follow the symbols. The symbols led them to an underground tunnel.
The tunnel was dark and damp, with an eerie silence surrounding them. Ahmed and Faris
carefully made their way through, using their torches to light the way. As they walked, they
discussed the possible treasures and artifacts they might find.
After what felt like hours, they reached a large chamber. In the center of the chamber was a
pedestal with a golden box on it. Faris approached the box cautiously. "Should we open it?" he
asked. Ahmed nodded, and together, they lifted the lid. Inside, they found ancient scrolls and
maps, documenting the history and culture of the lost civilization.
"These documents are priceless!" Ahmed exclaimed. "We need to take these back to the
university for further study." Faris agreed, and they carefully packed the scrolls and maps.
As they were about to leave, they heard a rumbling noise. The tunnel behind them began to
collapse. "We need to get out of here, now!" Ahmed shouted. They ran as fast as they could,
narrowly escaping the falling debris. They emerged into the bright sunlight, breathless but
safe.
"That was close," Faris said, looking back at the collapsed tunnel. Ahmed nodded, holding up
the scrolls. "But it was worth it. We've made a significant discovery today."
They both smiled, knowing their adventure had only just begun.

Hello, my name is Emily, and I have chosen to write about the rainforest for my English
project. I picked the rainforest because it's a fascinating and important ecosystem. There are
many types of rainforests, but I am most interested in the Amazon Rainforest. This rainforest is
home to a diverse range of plants and animals, many of which are not found anywhere else on
Earth.
One thing that amazed me about the rainforest is the canopy. The canopy is like a roof made
up of treetops, and it is so thick that only a little sunlight reaches the forest floor. This creates
a unique environment where only certain plants and animals can live. I read about a plant
called the “corpse flower” which blooms here. It’s one of the largest flowers in the world and
has a very strong smell.
I asked my teacher for advice on how to present my project, and she suggested I include some
pictures of the animals and plants I mentioned. I found some beautiful images of colorful
birds, frogs, and flowers. I plan to put these pictures in my report and explain what makes
each one special.
I also learned about the threats facing the rainforest. Deforestation is a huge problem because
it destroys the habitat of many animals and plants. Logging, farming, and construction are the
main causes of deforestation. It made me realize how important it is to protect these
wonderful places.
My project also includes some ideas on how we can help save the rainforest. For example, we
can support organizations that work to protect the rainforest, and we can be careful about the
products we buy, making sure they are sustainably sourced.
I hope my classmates will find my project interesting and learn something new about the
rainforest. I am excited to share what I have discovered!
