Friday night pizza and movies
Leo
Friday evenings are my favourite time of the week. My older brother always orders a large pizza for us. He pays for it, which is great! I love pizza with lots of cheese on top. We usually stream a funny movie together. School is hard, so I just want to laugh at the end of the week. Sometimes, my brother wants to watch an action movie, but I hate loud films. We eat our food on the sofa and relax.
Maya
My friends and I have a special routine on Fridays. We do not order food from a restaurant. Instead, I make pizza in my kitchen at home! It tastes fantastic and it is very cheap. After that, we stream a scary movie together online. I cannot watch them alone because I feel too frightened! We use our laptops to talk to each other while the film plays. It is a really fun way to start the weekend.
Toby
Every Friday night, my parents and I buy a pizza from the shop near our house. We always share a big one. Then, we sit in the living room and choose a film to stream. We take turns picking the movie. Last week, my mum chose a sad story, but tonight is my turn. I want to find a fast action movie! The only problem is that the food sometimes arrives cold, but we still enjoy our evening.

Great Headphones for Students
SoundMax
Do you love listening to music while you run or ride your bike? Then the SoundMax headphones are perfect for you! They never fall out of your ears when you move fast. You can even wear them in the rain because water does not hurt them. They do not come in lots of different colours, but they look very cool in black. You only need to charge the battery once a week. They are great for busy students!
StudyPro
Are you trying to do your homework in a noisy house? The StudyPro headphones can help! They cover your whole ear and stop you from hearing the noise around you. This makes it very easy to read and study. You can choose from red, blue, or green to match your school bag. They are quite large, so they are not very easy to carry in a small pocket. However, the sound is fantastic for the low price.
ChatMaster
Do you talk to your friends online or play video games? You will love the ChatMaster headphones. They have a fantastic microphone, so your friends will hear your voice very clearly. They have soft parts that sit on your ears, so they are comfortable to wear all day. When you finish using them, you can fold them into a small ball. This makes them very easy to put inside your coat pocket or a small bag.

Saving money for new camera equipment
Liam
I love taking photos of small bugs in my garden. Now, I am saving my pocket money to buy a special camera lens. It costs a lot! Every weekend, I wash my neighbours' cars to get some extra money. I also stopped buying chocolate and sweets after school. I keep all my money in a big glass jar on my bedroom desk. I look at it every morning. I hope I can buy my new lens next month. Then I can take amazing pictures!
Sophie
I enjoy walking in the mountains with my family. I want to buy a strong bag for my camera. Then it will not break when I drop it. My parents give me pocket money when I get good marks in my tests. I usually spend it on bus tickets. But now, I walk to school every day to save the money. It takes a long time, but it is a healthy activity. I will have enough money for the bag in two weeks.
Noah
I make funny videos in my bedroom, but it is often very dark. I really need to buy a bright light for my camera. I get pocket money from my parents, but it is not enough. So, I sell my old computer games and books online to get extra cash. My dad helps me post the boxes. I do not hide the money in my room. I put it in a real bank account. It is safer there, and I cannot spend it easily!

11 C - Reason: Text C says Noah gets extra cash when he sells his "old computer games and books online".
12 B - Reason: Text B says Sophie wants a strong bag so her camera "will not break when I drop it".
13 C - Reason: Text C says Noah makes videos in his bedroom but "it is often very dark" so he needs a "bright light". Text A has a trap mentioning Liam's bedroom desk, but not about needing light.
