V. Read the passage below then answer the questions.

Titanic is a romantic film, which was directed by Jameron. However, it’s also about a disaster. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.

The film is about the sinking of the ship Titanic on its first voyage. The main characters are Jack Dawson and Rose Dewitt Bukater. Jack saves Rose from killing herself during the journey on board the ship. Although they are from different social classes, and Rose is already engaged, they fall in love. The film has a sad ending: the Titanic sinks and more than a thousand people die in the disaster, including Jack.

Critics say it is a must-see. I agree because the story is moving and the acting is excellent. The special effects, visuals and music are also incredible.

At the back of the house, there is a garage where my parents park the family car, and a lovely garden with many green spaces, flowers, two swings and a small swimming pool. I love my house!

Read the passage, and then answer the questions. My favourite actors I like a lot of different actors, but my real favourites are Daniel Craig and Halle Berry. Daniel Craig is British and he’s a really talented actor. He’s been in a lot of different kinds of films including action adventure, science fiction, and romantic drama, but he always gives an excellent performance. He was brilliant in Tomb Raider as Alex West, but my favourite film is Casino Royale. I think Daniel Craig is a fantastic James Bond. Halle Berry is American. She was a model, but then decided to become an actress. I like her because she’s beautiful. She’s a good actress and I think she has a great sense of humour. I’m not keen on some of her films, such as Catwoman, but her other films are excellent. My favourite is X-Men which is a science fiction film. She plays the main character Storm, who has the ability to change the weather. Daniel Craig and Halle Berry are both entertaining and talented actors. I love watching their films. Nick, London, UK

Skyfall is one of the best action films in recent years. Released in 2012, it stars Daniel Craig as secret James Bond and Spanish actor Javier Bardem in the role of Raoul Silva, the villain in this film.

The plot involves a genius computer hacker who is an ex- spy. He wants to take revenge on the organization he used to work for and James Bond has to prevent this from happening. There are a lot of exciting action scenes as Bond pursues him around the world. Can he stop him before it is too late?

The film is set in a variety of locations including Istanbul, Shanghai, Macau, London and Scotland, which gives it a very international atmosphere. The soundtrack is impressive and includes the theme song “Skyfall”, performed by English singer Adele. The acting is also of a very high standard and Bardem brings his character to life with a dazzling and memorable performance.

Hunger has become a serious problem in many parts of the world.

The first cause of hunger is the fast growth of population. The earth is no longer able to fees its more than seven billion people. There is not enough land for growing food.

The change of climate also brings to the earth more weather-related disasters such as storms and droughts… They heavily destroy crops.

Wars are still happening. People are fighting, or running away from home. There’s nobody to work on the field or in the factory to produce food.

Technology is working hard to help solve part of this problem. In the future, we will have warning systems to reduce the loss from natural disasters. Low-cost means of transport will also be used to carry food to area-in-need.
