Last Saturday Betty and Charlie spent the day at

the zoo. It was a warm and sunny day so the zoo
was full of people. They were all having a
goodtime.
The two friends walked around the zoo and looked
at their favourite animals. They were watching the
monkeys when a zoo-keeper arrived with fruit to
feed them. He was putting some bananas and
mangoes onto a plate when Charlie noticed the
door of the enclosure was open. Suddenly, one of
the monkeys noticed it too and ran out of the
enclosure. It climbed a tall tree and screamed at
the zoo-keeper. Then it came down from the tree,
ran through a crowd of people and jumped over a
wall. It stopped for a minute and then ran across
the street and into a cake shop.
The zoo-keeper ran after the monkey. Come back!
he shouted. But the monkey was enjoying itself

Taylor got into the house through a window.

He took a small silver clock and a gold ring with a

The horse cost a lot of money, said Mr Clarke. It
was a present from my grandfather on my

The Wedding a film by James Harris

The Wedding, by 1
James
director
Harris, is one of the worst films Ive seen for
years. It has a huge 2

only one person acts well and thats Ricky Vane,
the young American 3

others are bad and the 4
,
Meg Williams, is terrible.
The 5
of the film is boring
and silly and the characters do stupid things. In
fact, the 6
was the worst part
7
of the film. In the final
the
main characters suddenly decide they are in
love and get married after fighting with each
other for two hours! I have to say the special
effects are brilliant but do people really go to
see a film only for them?

Rob started working as a professional make-up

artist six years ago. When he was a teenager,
he wanted to work with famous directors like
Steven Spielberg and he still hopes to. If he
does, it will be a dream come true.
Rob came to the United States two years ago to
work in films and now lives in Los Angeles. He
didnt know anyone when he first arrived and it
was hard to find work. Then last year he met
Kate and Joe, two well-known Hollywood
actors. After that his life changed: they
introduced him to other actors and he got lots
of jobs. I still cant believe it! he says.
Rob is now so busy that the he hasnt had a
holiday for three years. The last time he saw his
parents was at Christmas they flew to the
United States to see him. Would he like to
return to England? Yes, I would, but only on
holiday, he laughs.

Les Miserables

(based on the book by Victor Hugo)

This film is a musical set in France in the early nineteenth
century. Its about a man, Jean Valjean, who steals some
bread and goes to prison for nineteen years. He starts a
new life as Monsieur Madeleine and things go well for him
for a while. Unfortunately, the police inspector who caught
him all those years ago sees him one day and knows he is
not really Monsieur Madeleine ...
I recommend this film to people who like musicals.
The music is 1 good and I think Hugh Jackman (Valjean) is
a(n) 2 good actor. The other members of the cast are also
3
good. Some of the characters in the story are 4 bad people
but the plot is 5 good. The costumes are 6 good, too. There
is one problem: the ending is 7 bad and Im sure youll cry
