Here is an example using the present continuous tense:
Right now, I am sitting at my desk and typing a response to your question. The sun is shining brightly through the window, and a gentle breeze is blowing the leaves on the trees outside. As I speak, my colleague is on a video call in the next room, discussing an important project. The office printer is whirring as it produces a stack of documents. Meanwhile, the coffee machine is brewing a fresh pot of coffee, filling the air with its aroma.
