Comparing video game prices
Liam
I love playing new video games, but they are often very expensive. I never buy a game on the day it comes out. Instead, I use a special website that checks prices in different online shops. It sends a message to my phone when a game becomes cheaper. I usually wait until the summer or winter holidays. During these times, you can often find great sales. Last week, I bought a fast racing game for half the normal price!
Noah
Before I get a new video game, I always watch my favourite gamers on the internet. They often make videos about the best new games. Sometimes, these video makers give their viewers special secret words. If you type this word on a shopping website, you pay less money! Also, I never pay for a game alone. My best friend and I always share the cost. We just play the game at different times on our own computers.
Ethan
I do not like paying a lot of money for video games. My favourite way to save money is to buy old games. Some websites let people sell games they do not want to play anymore. You have to be careful and only use safe websites, but it is much cheaper. I also look at a special list that shows a game's price in the past. If the price goes down, I know it is a good time to buy it.

Tips for cleaning your phone screen
The Best Cloth
To clean your phone screen, you must use the right material. Never clean your phone with your t-shirt or paper towels. These things can make small marks on the glass. The best thing to use is a soft, special cloth. It is the same kind of cloth people use to clean their glasses. You can easily find one in a supermarket. You must keep this cloth clean, too. Wash it with warm water every week and let it dry outside.
Safe Cleaning Liquids
Your phone does not like water! You should never wash your mobile under the tap in the kitchen. Also, do not use products for cleaning the windows in your house. These strong liquids will quickly break your phone screen. If your phone is very dirty, you can buy a special spray from a computer shop. Just put a drop of the liquid on your soft cloth first. Do not spray it on the phone! Then, clean the screen slowly.
Good Daily Habits
When is the best time to clean your phone screen? You should do it every evening before you go to bed. Then, it will be ready for the next morning! First, you must take your phone out of its plastic case. Dirt often hides inside there. Remember, the best way to keep your screen clean is to wash your own hands often. If your fingers are dirty from eating food, do not touch your phone! Wait until you wash them.

Setting up social media pages for local cafes
Jake
I manage the social media for 'Sunny Cafe'. The owner is a good friend of my parents, so he asked me to help him. I usually go there after school and take beautiful photos of the cakes and hot drinks. The only problem is that the cafe is often very busy. When there are lots of customers, I have to stop taking photos and wash the cups or bring food to tables. But I do not mind because I always get free cake!
Sofia
I started making videos for a new coffee shop in my town two months ago. I film the workers when they make the coffee and then share the videos online. When I started, I did not know how to cut and change the videos on my phone. I had to learn how to use a special app. It took a long time, but now my videos look great. I really enjoy this work. I want to do this as my real job in the future.
Tom
I run the social media page for the oldest cafe in our city. I do not just post pictures of food. I like to write short stories about the history of the building. I also use my own big camera, not my phone, to take photos. Sometimes I want to take photos of the people eating there. But I always ask them first, and many customers say no. So, I usually just take pictures of the building and the furniture instead.
