Introduction

The US Department of Defense shared secret papers. These papers talk about strange objects that astronauts saw on the moon.

Main Body

Donald Trump told the government to share these papers. Buzz Aldrin was an astronaut on Apollo 11. He saw a big object near the moon. He also saw bright lights inside his ship. Other astronauts went to the moon on Apollo 12 and Apollo 17. They saw small, bright pieces of light near their ship. One man said the lights looked like fireworks. There is also a photo from the moon. The photo shows three bright dots in the sky. No one knows what these dots are.

Conclusion

Now these military papers are public. Everyone can read them.

πŸ’‘ The 'Seeing' Pattern

In this text, we see a pattern for describing things people notice. It uses a simple structure: Person + saw + object.

Examples from the text:

  • He β†’\rightarrow saw β†’\rightarrow a big object.
  • He β†’\rightarrow saw β†’\rightarrow bright lights.
  • They β†’\rightarrow saw β†’\rightarrow small pieces of light.

πŸ› οΈ Simple Word Swap

To reach A2, you can change the object to describe different things. Look at how the descriptions change using simple adjectives:

  • Big object β†’\rightarrow (Large/Huge)
  • Bright lights β†’\rightarrow (Strong/Shiny)
  • Small pieces β†’\rightarrow (Tiny/Little)

πŸ“Œ Memory Note

Saw is the past version of See.

  • Today I see a bird. β†’\rightarrow Yesterday I saw a bird.
