They had walked for hours when they decided

trees caught fire. At first they weren’t scared
but then the fire started spreading fast because

After that they quickly climbed to the top of the
mountain to escape.
Luckily, a search and rescue helicopter found
them in the end.The group were delighted to

gone out. (The fire stopped, then the firefighters
arrived.)
The search and rescue workers had already
given first aid when the firefighters arrived. (The

about films and young people at our school.
Fifty students aged 14–16 were asked about
their film-viewing habits and preferences.
The majority of students said that they
watched films on TV, online and at the
cinema. Over 80% said that they would like
to have more films for young people.
More than half of those interviewed said that
they preferred to watch films at the cinema
rather than on TV.
To sum up, this survey shows that young
people watch films in different ways and
that there is a lack of good films for this age
group. I suggest that we send this report to
local cinemas and to the TV broadcasting
companies so that they can take our opinions
into account.

circle T (true) or F (false).

sports and physical activity.

a sport, how much time they dedicate to
sport and their attitudes towards physical
exercise in general.
To sum up, this survey shows that
