Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

Five major planets in our Solar System lined up in a row over the weekend in a celestial event called a conjunction. In many parts of the world, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn could be seen with the naked eye (without the need for a telescope). The rare planetary conjunction was visible in clear skies before dawn. The AccuWeather website said the best time to view this event was about an hour before sunrise. AccuWeather said a conjunction in this order would not be visible from Earth again for another 20 years. The next time it will happen will be August 2040. It is said that this planetary event was special because the planets appeared in the order they are positioned from the Sun, with Saturn being the farthest away and Mercury the nearest. The conjunction is rare because the five planets all have different orbits of the Sun. Mercury takes 88 days to orbit the Sun, while Saturn takes 29 years.
