Great local movies to watch at our hostel
River Adventure
Do you want to laugh tonight? This is a very funny movie about three teenagers. They take a small boat down the river near our city. They lose their map and have to find their way home. You will see some beautiful local forests and animals in the film. It is a great choice if you love nature. The actors speak quite slowly, so it is very easy to understand them.
Old Town
If you want to learn about our city, you should watch this fantastic film. It is not a funny story. Instead, it shows you the history of our famous streets and buildings. You can see what the city looked like a hundred years ago. The film gives you lots of ideas for places to visit tomorrow. You need to read the English words at the bottom of the screen to understand it.
The Fast Train
This is an exciting story about a group of friends. They are travelling across the country on a train, but someone takes their money. They have to find out who did it before the journey ends. The music in the film is loud and brilliant. It is very popular with young people in this country. You will learn some new everyday words, but they speak very fast, so you must listen carefully!

Our Best School Trip Photos
Leo
Our class went to London, and my best photo is of the whole city. I took it from the top of a very tall wheel. In the morning, the weather was terrible, and it rained a lot. But when we went up the wheel, the sun came out. I wanted to take a picture of my classmates with the beautiful sky. But I was too slow, and they walked away! So, the photo only shows the famous river and lots of tall buildings.
Mia
We went to the capital city for our school trip. On the first day, I dropped my new camera on the street, and it broke! I was very sad. But the next day, we visited a beautiful bridge. I really wanted a picture of myself with the bridge behind me. I gave my mobile phone to my friend Sarah, and she took a great photo. I sent the picture to my parents immediately. It is definitely the best photo from the trip.
Toby
My favourite photo from our city trip is from the science museum. There are lots of amazing things inside, but I loved the dinosaur bones the most. I took a very funny picture of myself next to a really big dinosaur. I look very small next to it! When we returned to school, I showed the photo to my science teacher. He laughed a lot and put it on the school website for everyone to see. I am very proud of it!

How to create a great digital photo album
Choosing the Best Photos
After your family holiday, you probably have hundreds of photos on your phone. First, you must decide which pictures to keep. It is a good idea to delete the photos that are dark or not clear. You only need about fifty pictures for a good album. Do not just choose photos where everyone looks perfect. You should also include pictures of funny moments! These are the photos that will make your family laugh when they see them.
Adding Words and Maps
A photo album is like a good book. You need to tell a story about your trip! Under each photo, write a short sentence to explain what is happening. Sometimes people forget things later. Because of this, it is very important to add the dates to your pages. You can also put a map in your digital album. This shows your friends exactly where you travelled. A map is often more interesting than a normal photo of a building.
Sharing with Everyone
When your digital album is ready, it is time to show it to your family! You can connect your computer to the television. Then, everyone can sit in the living room and watch the photos on the big screen together. You do not have to keep the album on the computer. It is very easy to order a real book from a website. You can print the album and give it to your grandparents as a lovely present.
Answer Key & Explanations
7 A - Reason: Text A advises you to "delete the photos that are dark or not clear."

11 C - Reason: Text C says "everyone can sit in the living room and watch the photos... together."
12 B - Reason: Text B tells you to "write a short sentence to explain what is happening."
13 A - Reason: Text A says "You only need about fifty pictures for a good album." Text B has a negative trap mentioning "hundreds of photos" that you start with.
