We live on Earth, so it is our home. But how much do you know about it? Let me tell you something about our Earth.
The Earth is like a huge ball. Like the other seven planets, the Earth is running around the sun. It's the third nearest one to the sun. It takes the Earth about 365 days to run around the sun. At the same time, the Earth is going around itself. If you are in space, you can see lots of white clouds over the surface of the Earth. Through the clouds, you can see the blue colour of the oceans, and the brown colour of the land. About 70% of the Earth is covered by water.
Why do we have day and night? When the half of the Earth is facing the sun, it's daytime. As the Earth turns, and this half is away from the sun, night is coming. And it's daytime for the other half.

At first, all of my classmates went to Mars by spaceship. And then we visited everywhere on Mars. We found a lot of things different from our earth. The environment was so beautiful that everyone wanted to stay there forever. We also had a party in which many students took an active part. Finally, we made a telephone call with aliens.
