Solution

  1. I would like to learn about electric machines, our solar system, and different plants and animals.
  2. Yes, I recently completed a DIY experiment in which I created a small solar panel system to power a light bulb. It was a hands-on project that required connecting solar cells to transform sunlight into power. The most amazing part was seeing the light bulb illuminate, powered entirely by solar energy. This endeavour not only provided me with a practical grasp of renewable energy sources, but also a sense of success in constructing something useful and environmentally friendly.
  3. In my English classes, I would like to learn English poems, writing stories, and how to converse.
