WHAT IS THIS TOPIC ABOUT?

Here you could give a brief description of

the topic you want to talk about. For
example, if you want to talk about Mercury,
you could say that it’s the closest planet to
the Sun and the smallest one in our Solar
System. It’s only a bit larger than our
Moon, and its name has nothing to do with
the liquid metal, since it was named after
the Roman messenger god, Mercury
