Making videos about recycling
Liam
I started making videos last month. My sister and I want to show people how to recycle plastic bottles. We usually film the videos in our kitchen. I just use my mobile phone because it is very easy. We show people how to clean the bottles before they throw them away. Last week, our science teacher watched our best video. He loved it and gave us a special school prize! Now, all my classmates want to watch it too.
Maya
I love teaching people about recycling old paper and clothes. I do not have a good camera, so I borrow one from my school. It takes great pictures! I always ask my friends what I should film next. They give me lots of fantastic ideas. When I finish filming, I like to put some pop songs over the video. The music makes the video really fun to watch. Many people leave nice messages on my website.
Noah
My videos teach people how to use old food for their plants. I always record my videos in my garden. It is much better than filming inside! Sometimes the sun is too bright, and the video looks bad. I have to wait for clouds. Making these videos is my favourite hobby. When I finish school, I want to be a famous movie director. I hope my recycling videos will help me get a good job in the future.

Our favourite animal documentaries
Tom
My favourite documentary is about penguins in the cold sea. I always watch it with my parents and sister on Sunday evenings. The movie shows how the penguins swim and play together. It is very hard for them to get food in the winter. The pictures are amazing, and the music is fantastic too. It makes the movie feel very exciting. Sometimes the parent penguins travel a long way to find fish for their babies. I think they are beautiful birds.
Anna
I really love a film about wild animals in the jungle. I first saw it last month. I used the information from the movie for a science project at school. My teacher was very happy with my work! I learned a lot about the strange plants that the animals eat. The only thing I do not like is the loud music in the film. I prefer to listen to the real sounds of the animals. I think everyone should watch this movie.
Ben
My favourite nature movie is about families of monkeys. It shows them living in the hot desert. I prefer to watch it alone in my bedroom, because my brother always talks during films! The baby monkeys are very funny when they play in the sand. I laughed a lot when I watched it. The desert looks beautiful in the sun. I hope to go there on holiday one day and see the monkeys. I never watch boring movies about school!

9 A - Reason: Text A says Tom thinks "the music is fantastic". Text B has a negative trap where Anna says she does "not like the loud music".

11 A - Reason: Text A says Tom watches it "with my parents and sister". Text C has a negative trap stating Ben prefers to watch "alone".
12 B - Reason: Text B says Anna learned about the "strange plants that the animals eat". Text A has a trap about animals finding food, but not about learning what they eat.
