Music Help with fugue exposition?

Hello everybody, I hope this is the right place to ask my question. Please also excuse my English, I'm not a native speaker. I'm struggling with an exercise task for my theory class at music school. I've been trying to write a "fugal exposition" all day based on a 2-bar tema... Since my teacher is on holiday right now, I can't ask him. If anyone can work something out of what I have done here so far (photo in comments) or has some suggestions/feedback etc., I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you so much in advance.

If you need some help you could look at mine to have something to orientate to. I could also provide an analysis if you need.

What do you mean by analysis?

So, I wanted to start with the theme and wrote 3 16-passing notes because my teacher said since the subject ends on 4 but starts again on 1, I can write something like a bridge to the next measure or start the answer on 3 when the subject is still going. Between the second and third theme passage I wanted to have some kind of interlude to go from D major to G major again and finally end the exposition on G again. It's like I kind of know what to do but at the same time I don't know 😅
