Remember to use verbs in the correct form ( you will use a lot of third person singular)
don´t forget the subject, include at least one comparative when comparing earth, sun
and moon, it is good if you also include a superlative, use scientific vocabulary- orbit,
axis, rotation, revolution, to rise, to set…) and make it very, very clear. Remember that
you want to come back to earth!!!!!
Good luck!
