"The Island Discovery"

Last summer, a team of scientists set off on an expedition to a remote island in the South
Pacific. Their goal was to study the wildlife and see whether any previously unknown species
could be found. The journey took weeks. The ocean was rough, and one of their boats nearly
capsized during a storm. When they finally reached the island, they were greeted by dense
rainforests, steep cliffs, and a symphony of unfamiliar animal calls.

The team quickly set up a base camp and got to work. Dr. Lu, an ornithologist, was
particularly excited. On the third day, while walking quietly through the forest with her
binoculars, she noticed a small, brightly colored bird sitting on a branch. She took notes,
drew sketches, and recorded the bird’s song. It looked like nothing she had ever seen before.

Over the next week, the team found several other animals that showed unique features, such
as unusual markings or different behaviors from known species. They also collected soil
samples and studied the plants, many of which had medicinal qualities used by local tribes.

Although the expedition was tiring and often dangerous, the scientists agreed it was worth
every effort. They returned with valuable discoveries and a deeper appreciation for the
planet's unexplored corners.

athletics day and placed third or fourth. Still, he never gave up. This year, he trained hard

On race day, dark clouds filled the sky. Just before the race began, rain poured down. Many
students looked disappointed, but Leo smiled. He had practiced in all weather.

As the whistle blew, Leo ran with all his strength. His shoes were soaked, and mud splashed
up his legs. Some students slipped or slowed down, but Leo kept going. He finished second.
