1 For example, there are fewer ca rs, so there is less
traffic noise. Also, there is much less nightlife so
the evenings are quieter. In addition, houses are
spread out more than in ci t ies so there is less noise

Suggested Answer
When studying at university, some people believe that
it is better to live off campus. To me, however, living on
campus is the best option .
There are a number of advantages to being close to
your university. Firstly, living on campus means that it is
easier to reach lessons, the library and other facilities.
This way, t ime and money are not wasted on travelling
to and from university every day.
In addition, campus living offers the chance for a better
social life. Students on ca mpus have more opportunities
to meet more people to make friends w ith .
On the other hand, some people 5af that living on campus
is a bad idea. For one thing, there is a lack of privacy. This is
because students may have to share a bedroom or a
bathroom. Secondly, students on campus have limited
space. The rooms are generally small so students can only
take tile bare essentials with them. There is no room, for
example, to bnng lots of clothes. music equipment or
other favourite possessions from home.
All in all. I believe that living on campus offers students
a lot. Although, rooms are small and there is
somet imes not a lot of privacy, it is more convenient
and leads to a better social li fe.

1 tn the flfst place, you can study at your own pace.
As a result, you don't feel under the pressure or
stress wh ich is often experienced in a school
envi ron ment. An add itiona l advantage of home
schooling is that you spend more time with your
family. This close contact means that some
students may feel more secure and happier. Finally,
there are no transport costs or canteen charges
when you study at home. You therefore have an
excellent opportunity of saving money!
2 To start with, there is no contact with other students
so you could end up feeling bore d or lonely.
Furthermore, parents may not necessa rily be
qua lified teachers. Consequently, you may fee l
there is a lack of sufficient professional guidance in
your studies.
Millions of people are now taking educational courses
online, thanks to today's technology. From its
beginn ings in t he 1950s in the US, interactive distance
learn ing has taken on truly global proportions. So what
are the advantages and disadvantages of on line
education?
On line learning clearly has several advantages to offer.
Firstly, t he online learner has a flexibl e timetable , Not
having to attend a class means they can study at any
time of the day or night, whenever they feel most
mentally alert. Moreover, people living in remote areas
can benefit, as they don't have to commute to college
every day. Fina lly, on line learning can improve a
person's computer ski lls. For example, they become
more familiar with differen t computer programs and
learn how to do research more efficiently.
However, some people are against online education .
They argue that there IS no direct verbal con t act wi th a
tutor. As a reSUlt, a student may not get their
questions fully answered and t hey would be better off
speaking directly to the tutor. In addition, onhne
courses are sometimes too theoretical for the subject
they aim to teach and do not provide enough practica l
hands-on experience
To conclude, In spite o f the fact that on line education
has some disadvant ages, I believe t hat it offers
students an excellent means of gaining qualifications
In a convenient way SUited to their individual needs.

possibilities! It would be much better than working
as a waiter In a restaurant.
B. I don't agree with you. I think working in a
restaurant would be a brilliant summer job. I know
that it's hard work being a waiter, but it's also really
rewarding. You not only earn your wage, but you
also get tips from the customers.

Parents are always looking for babysitters in the
summer because children are off from school and
the parents are stili working. We could do it together

with them, it would be a blast!
B: I'm not so sure about that, I don't think I'd like to
spend my summer looking after children, it would be
hard work! They're not easy to be in charge of and
it's a big responsibility that I don't think I'd like to

I'd like to open a small restaurant specialising in home-
cooked regional dishes of my country. I really enjoy
cooking and I've always dreamed of running an eating
place in a nice setting. For me, it would be a really
creative experience to int roduce people to foods they
might not know, in a tastefully decorated restaurant
with its own special atmosphere. II'd hate to start my
own business. I think it would be a real headache. You
usually have to work endless long hours at the

It would be very easy to overspend on initial setting-up
costs; even if you have made a budget, things usually
work out more expensive than planned . You also need
to target your market. Your business won't do well if
you lack a defined idea of what you want to sell and to
whom. Some people also make the mistake of opening
a business in the wrong place, where they fail to
attract custom.

I must admit that I was surprised when we first
received a phone call from Alex asking if he could stay
with us for a few days. I could tell that Dara wasn't
particularly pleased to be put on the spot; however,
she was very obliging. After all, what are families for,
right ? I wasn't so keen on the idea myself to begin
w ith , as I work long hours and look forward to the few
moments that I may get to spend alone at home. The
first week or so was quite stressful for everyone. We
weren't used to sharing our space with an extra person
and had to change our seating arrangements in the
dining and liVing room to accommodate Alex. If I'm
perfectly honest. It was also a struggle for me to be
sharing my home with another male! However, we
could tel l that Alex was trying his best to fit in, not get
under peoples feet. Our children, Colleen and Sean,
thought it was great having their uncle around . He
was always entertaining them and taking them out on
trips. Well, a few days turned in to a few weeks and
then months and actually now I can't imagine Alex not
being involved in our daily lives! I enjoy his company
during my free t ime, we watch a lot of sports together
and it's always appreciated having a babysitter on
hand whenever Dara and I feel like having an evening
to ourselves. Alex finally found another job and
recently told us he plans to find his own place and
move out, however we'd miss his company too much
and everyone has persuaded him to stay here for as
long as he wishes. For the time being anyway!

Dear Evelyn,
HI! How are things? Guess where I am? The Chinchilla
Melon Festival in Queensland, Australia! I got here last
week and we've been having some lovely summer
weather with blue skies and sunshine. At the moment
I'm having a cold drink at one of the food stalls. It's a
welcome break from all the hectic fun! There are lots
of funny melon competitions, food tastings, pa rades
and more. I'm having a great time here. I' m sure you'd
love it too.
Take care,
Clbar

The International Soup Festival is held in Krakow,
Poland every May. Unlike the Chinchilla Melon Festival,
It is an annual event, which was held for the first time
in 2002 It attracts lots of viSitors - in 2007, 30,000
people attended . The whole point of the festival is to
com pete for t he Soup of the Year award. Restaurants
take part, as do chefs on the street cooking their soups
In huge cauldrons. In fact, anyone can compete. The
range of soups is enormous - anything from traditional
Polish soup such as zurek to more exotic creations. Like
In the Chinchilla Festival, there is lots of food sampling
and all the soups are free . They don't organise a
parade, but there is a terrific party atmosphere with
26
open-air live concerts that get everyone dancing in the
streets. The competition winners are announced at
around 10 pm . Nothing is more Polish t han soup and
this is a re ally great festiva l!

A: Well, in my opinion, a dance festival would be a
real success, I think it would bring the community
together because we could have alt t ypes of dance;
lat in, st reet, hip hop and so many ot hers. If we
encouraged everyone to get involved then I think it
could be rea lly fun.
B: I don't t hink that's such a good idea because dance
doesn't speak to everyone. Not everyone likes to
dance or even watch It, so I think that we should
stick to something that everyone can get involved

A: Um, I' m not rea lly sure about t hat. I t hink we need

After all, it will bnng people together because they

A: I really don't li ke the Idea, I just don't t hink that it

We can get people In town to make films about the

A: That's a realty good Idea, I think that that would be

5 Suggested Answer
Kra kow Folk Art Festiva l, which is held in t he city's Old
Ma rket Square every August, is a real taste of old
Poland . It's a marvellous way of celebrating the
country's traditional arts and crafts as well as its folk
music and dance. Hundreds of craftsmen assemble in
the main square to demonstrate their art and folk
musicians display t heir artistic skills.
Before the visitors arrive, people are busy making and
repairing the colourful Polish folk costu mes they are
going to wear. Others stock up on ingredients to
prepare the traditional foods that will be sold at open
air stalls which are specially set up for the occasion.
Meanwhile, musicians and dancers are hard at work
rehearsing their pieces before the grand opening .
At t he fest ival itself, as well as enjoying folk music and
dancing, you can watch the craftsmen at work . Their
stalls are full of tempting products like pottery,
sculpture, embroidery and handmade lace and it's
impossible to resist buying something! You can also try
your hand at these difficult crafts yourself under the
28
expert eye of the craftsman . If you're feeling hu ngry,
the street vendors sell a wide ra nge of trad itional
Polish snacks, including plerogl, sausage, shish kebab
and wonderful little gingerbread cakes made in the
shape of hearts.
The Krakow Folk Art Festival is an unforgettable
experience . When you go t here, you'l l feel rea lly glad
to see how Pol ish culture and tradi tion is being kept
alive and you'll definitely want to go again!

because it too has a history. It is built on the site which

was completed in 191 0 as the home of the opera

b) Suggested Answer
cnl ine shopping is undoubtedly convenient.
However, what concerns people most about
purchasing things on the Internet is the issue of
safety. So how can online shoppers protect
themselves from dishonest practices?
Firstly, Internet users shou ld be ver; careful with
their personal banking details. For example, your
bank account and card numbers or passwords
should never be written down or even stored on
your compu ter. It's better to record this information
in a more secure way, such as anonymously in your
mobile phone. As a result, it will be virtually
impossible for someone to steal them and you will
be safeguarded against identity fraud .
Secondly, when shopping online, use cards wisely.
For one thing, I would suggest uSing a credit card
to pay for something rather than a debit card.
Money spent this way is better protected. That is to
say, if you buy something from a company which
subsequently goes out of business, the credit card
transaction is usually covered by some form of
insurance. Therefore, you have more chances of
getting your money back . Another thing to do IS to
join a bank card protect ion scheme. For instance, if
your bank card is stolen but you belong to a
scheme where you possess a private password,
then the bank card will be useless to the thief.
All in all, shopping online does not have to be a
risky experience. Provided one or two simple
preca utions are ta ken, there is no reason not to
purchase things on the Internet.

You can buy almost anything you can think of. Nearly
all street markets sell fresh fruit and vegetables and
maybe flowers. Some specialise in second-hand items
and antiques. But you can find lots of new items as
well, including clothes and household goods. I think
people enjoy shopping there for the fun carefree
atmosphere and the chance of picking up a bargain.
2 Suggested Answer
When I think of London, I always think of Covent
Garden. I know it used to be London's main fruit and
vegetable market unt il as recent ly as the 1970s. Then,
In 1980, they converted it into a trendy centre with
cafes, restaurants, bars and small shops. Now the larger
area known as Covent Garden attracts huge numbers
0' VISitors interested not only in shopping but in a
\-ar.ety of arts and entertainments So Covent Garden is
not rea!ly a market at all any more, in the old sense.

The News of/he World first appeared In 1843 and by the
1950s was the world's biggest-selling newspaper. In
1984, it became a tabloid focusing on celebrity sca ndal
and gossip. It used dishonest methods to obta in
stories, such as employing undercover journalists,
bribing and phone hacking . Finally, in 20 11 , amid a
huge public outcry, the paper decided to shut down.
6 Suggested Answer
I definitely agree w ith t he st atement that t he press
should ba lance freedom of expression with respect for
privacy_ On the one hand, freedom of speech, thought
and expression IS a basic human right and journalists
should be allowed to write articles that reflect what is
going on in SOCiety. Editors of newspapers, too, have
the right to write editoria ls giving their opin ion on a
current topic. On the other hand, there is no excuse for
writing sensational stories about people's personal lives
- many of which are exaggerated versions of the truth
and obtained by dishonest means such as bribes or
phone hacking - simply in order to achieve bigger
newspaper sales.

A I think that history should be compulsory to all
students at all levels. History is one of the most
important subjects to study as It tells you a lot
about the modern world that we live in. Not only
do we get to understand the way that t he world is,
but we also get to understand our own countries
and past decisions more. It's important to know
about your country's history especially, because a
large part of what happened in the past is
significant to our present and future.
40
B: History is not of any importance, after all, it
happened in the past and some things t hat I've
learnt about are from hundreds of years ago, which
have no Significance to me whatsoever. It's a waste
of my time when I could be learning about
something that will be beneficial to me in the
future, like science or maths. I just don't get why
people place such emphasis on studying history.
A' I believe t hat you can't live in this world without
act ually knOWing anyth ing about the past. How we
live is governed by past events, I don't just mean
anCient and medieval history, or even events that
occurred hundreds of years ago, I mean events
from the past few decades, too. It's also a good
way of seeing how advanced our world is today
from compa ring it to the way it was in the past. It
also allows for predictions as to what our future
will be like in years to come. It's obviously
important because there are a number of films and
TV dramas that retell stones of the past and draw
our attention to it .
B: Okay, so maybe history is important. but not all
history I agree wit h you that we need some level of
knowledge of the past to understand the way the
world operates today, but some history is just
irrelevant. 1 do now understand the importance of
studying history, although I'm still unsure if it
should be compu lsory to al l ages .

4 a) Suggested Answ er
Gene therapy is a develop ing technology which w il l
hopeful ly enable doctors to cure diseases that are
at present incurable. The fau lty genes that cause a
disease in a person w ill be replaced with new
healthy genes . Secondly, by studying a pat ient's
unique genet ic profi le doctors will be able t o
prescribe the medicines that best su it them, so
avoiding harm ful side effects.
b) Suggested Answer
The study of genes can affect our lives in a huge
number of ways. We would like to briefly refer to
three. Firstly, genetic engineering has a big impact
on agriculture. For example, by changing a crop's
genetic structu re, scientists can make it more
resistant to disease. This is an important factor in
growing more food to feed a hungry world.
Secondly, genet ic profiling has made crime
detection much easier. With DNA fingerprinting
and other techniques used by crime investigators,
the crimina l has much less chance of escaping
detect ion . Many crimina ls, like London's legenda ry
Jack the Ripper, who got away w ith thei r crimes in
the past could not expect to do so today. However,
opponents of genetic eng ineering argue that it is a
bad th ing because it gives scientists the possibil ity
of crea t ing animals and even humans according to
their own designs. The colour of skin, ha ir and eyes
could be predete rmined before a child is born and
even, perhaps, certain preferred personal ity traits .
5 Suggested Answer
Yes, I would welcome the opportun ity to learn if I was
likely to get a particular disease. Then, I would have
the chance to try preventative measures before t he
disease had a chance to develop . After all, prevention
is better than cure. / No, I would prefer not to know if I
had a particular fau lty gene. I think knowing would
somehow increase my chances of developing the
disease and I prefer to face problems as they come up .

I learnt that meteors are entering the Earth's
atmosphere all the time as it orbits the sun . Most of
these are very small and disintegrate in the air.
However, a few larger ones do hit the ground and
these are known as meteorites. I also learned that a
huge one struck in Arizona about 50,000 years ago
and formed a crater a mile wide!
6 Suggested Answer
You can see meteors w ith the naked eye but need to

Meteors travel very fast - they enter the Earth's
atmosphere at up to 130,000 mph.
They are formed from the debris of comets.
They can contain minerals that are not found on earth .
Meteorites are sometimes sold on eBay.

To me, the most suitable poster to advertise an
astronomy lecture is poster 1. I find poster 1 most
appealing because there is a picture of a boy looking
through a telescope and this would give the students a
clear picture of what the lecture will be about. I also
like the bright font colour which stands out from the
background colours which are dark and it is eye~
catching . I don't think poster 2 is suitable because
there is a picture of an astronaut and this is more
appropriate for a lecture about space travel. Therefore I
th ink poster 2 is misleading and might confuse the
students. Poster 3 doesn't appeal to me because the
picture is of a small model of the eart h in the palm of
someone's hand . Alt hough it is an interesting image, I
think It is impersonal. Poster 1 with the picture of the
boy IS much more appropriate and appeal ing to
students because they can relate to it.

2 Now that my brother and I are both teenagers, my
parents decided to try a holiday camp that advertises
~somethin9 for all ages" for our holiday this year.
The Fun World camp is located in a beautiful forest
where you can hear birdsong all day. When we arrived
I was concerned that it might be too quiet for my
brother and me, but I was proved very wrong.
The camp staff organise an amazing array of activities
every morning. afternoon and evenin g of the holiday
season. During our stay, the daytime activities
included archery, a swimming ga la, nature hikes,
cycling, calligraphy lessons and pottery
demonstrations - truly something for everyone. At
night there were quizzes, discos and karaoke nights
provided in the youth club, or we could Join our
parents for the cabaret entertainment next door. We
were never bored!
The accommodation was very comfortable - not that
we spent much time there! We had a large caravan
with a good shower and new beds, which we all really
appreciated. If you want a little more luxury, you can
stay in one of the site's log cabins, which have their
own fireplace!
The staff were always cheerful and were good at
helping people to get to know one another. At the
end of the week my brother and I swapped emad
addresses with some of the new friends we made and
I'm sure we Will stay in touch. All in all, it was a very
enjoyable trip.
3 We all know that motor vehicles pol lute t he planet
and use up precious natural resou rces. So is cycl ing a
good solution?
Undoubted ly, there are many argu ments in favo ur of
cycling . To begin with, it causes little or no damage t o
the planet, or to your finances I Cyclists don't have t o
buy fuel, pay road taxes, buy travel tickets or have
expensive repairs carried out on their vehicles. In
addition, cycling keeps you fit. Consequently, you
don't have to make time for exercise as a regular
cyclist. since you do it as part of your everyday life.
On the other hand, there are also disadvantages to
using a bike. Firstly, cycling can be very unpleasant in
bad weather, on dark nights and on busy roads.
Moreover, it can be very dangerous because a cyclist's
body has much less protection from injury than
someone In a car. In addition, cycling is only possible
for relatIVely short Journeys. As a result, you may not
be able to go everywhere you would like to go if you
only travel by bike.
In conclusion, cycling is a very worthwhile way to get
around, but it's very difficult - if not impossible - to
use a bicycle as your sole means of transport.

1 I live In a two-storey detached house. It has a flight of
stairs going up to three bedrooms; mine, my sister's and
my mum and dad's. It has a great big living room and a
kltchen·diner where we eat dinner f!Very night. { I live in
a flat With my mum and brother. It has three bedrooms
and a big liVing room. We don't have a garden, but we
don·t really need one now that we're older
,
2 I like the fact that my house has a big garden so that
my sister and I could run around when we were
younger, I remember that we used t o have a big slide
In the garden and in the sum mer we'd always have a
padd ling pool put up to swim in. / I love having a big
bedroom. It's orange, my favou rit e colour. I spend
most of my time in my room because our flat is smal l
and there's not a lot of privacy.
3 Every few years my father paints the entire house and
he always makes my sist er and I help him. He says t hat
It'S good to do things toget her and that it gives us a
chance to spend more time together as a family. I I
don't really help to decorate my home. I only like to
help if it's my bedroom that's being decorated - I like
to make sure that it's done perfectly!
4 There are lots of things for people to do in my area.
There's the cjnema that shows new films every week,
the park where a lot of young people go and there are
also cafes where I go to meet my friends at the
weekend for coffee, and then we go to a big
shopping centre to buy clothes. I No, there's not a lot
for young people to do In my area. There's a park that
we can go 10, but there's no other entertainment or
places for us to go It's a really boring place to live
5 I would love to have a beach where I live. I love the
water but we don't live near enough to the coast to
be able to see it everyday. If I could change something,
then it would be to have a beach in ou r town!
Entertainment
6 I love watch ing most TV pro gram mes, but I especially
enjoy watching dramas like Gossip Girl and reality
shows like The Hills . I love American TV and spend
hours wa tch ing it. II don't really enjoy watching TV. I
prefer to watch films rather than TV programmes. The
only TV that I'll watch is the news; other than that I
prefer to listen to music or to read to entertain myself.
7 I usually go to the cinema once a week With my
fflends I like to keep up WIth new film releases and it's
a nice way for us to spend time together. It's a place
that a lot of young people go to and so we always see
a lot of people that we know. { I don't go to the
Cinema often, In fact I haven't been for a really long
time! I tend to go to the cinema when there's a new
film out that I really want to see. Other than that I
wait for films to come out on DVD - I don't like the
thought of SItting with lots of strangers to watch a
film!

8 I spend a lot of time listening to musIC. Whether I'm
doing my homework or on the bus on the way to
school, I'm always listening to something! The kind of
music that I listen to changes a lot, but I especially love
the blues and country mUSIc. At the moment my
favourite singers are Michael Buble and Taylor Swift.
they have brought a younger sound to an older kind
of mUSIc.!1 don't spend much time listening to muslC_
I don't really have much free time because I play a lot
of sport and spend time training or playi ng . Although,
when I do listen to music, I love to listen to my
faVOUrite bands, Coldplay and Radiohead. They really
help to relax me after a hard training session or
playing in a match.
9 I prefer reading books because I can use my
imagination. I love being creative and when I read I'm
able to make up a world in my head and Imagine
characters the way that I w ant to. / I don't like re ading
books, but I love to read magazines. Fashion is
important to me so I buy a few magazines every week
to see the latest trends and am interested in what
celebrities are wearing.
10 I love going to the theatre to watch a play or a
musical. When I was younger my parents would
always take me to the theatre and I stil l love gOing.
Drama is my favou rite subject at school and I hope to
be an actress one day and follow in the footsteps of
Julie An drews, a legendary film and theatre actress.
Holidays
11 For my last holiday my family and I went to
Disneyvvorld in Florida. It was a busy two weeks but
we had a lot of fun in the parks meeting ma ny Disney
characters and going on the rides - although some of
them were very high and frightening! We also spent a
few days relaxing by the pool, but mostly w e were out
and about enjoying the sunshine.
12 I love act i on ~packed holidays where I can sightsee, visi t
historical places or do any kind of sport . I always like
to be on the move and don't like to spend too much
time lying by the pool or on a beach. A skiing holiday
is my favourite kind of holiday. I I prefer going on
quiet holidays where I can sit by the pool or at the
beach. My mum and I like to lie in the sun and relax all
day, and my dad and brother like t o play with a ba ll on
the beach - we have very quiet holidays!
13 It's important to plan an action-packed holiday
because if there's a lot to do then you need to make
sure that you can fit it all in. When my fam ily and I
went to Switzerland to ski we made sure that we had
a lot of time on the slopes. But we also wanted time
to sightsee and so my mum made an itinerary for us
so we knew what we would be doing each day. I I
never plan my holiday before I go. I love being
spontaneous and exploring the area when I arrive.
Each day and night is different, but it is never planned.

14 I would love to visit Mexico and see the sites of the
Maya, like Chichen Itza. I love history and culture and
so going to Mexico IS my dream! I would also love to
visit Paris to sightsee. I'd love to see the Eiffel Tower,
the Louvre and Notre Dame. I've only ever seen them
in fi lms and on the TV, so I wou ld love to see them in

A: Well, I think the best Idea would be to get a student's
room on campus. It means that we would be within
walking distance of l&tures and we wou ldn't have to
worry about relying on and paying for publiC transport
to get around. Also, if we're living on campus then
we're probably going to be close the town too, so
we'd have t he best of both worlds.
B: I disagree . I think we should rent a small flat, just the
two of us, In town. Then. we wouldn't have to worry
about who we're living with or if we'd get along with
them, because we'd be living toget her. Also, how
much time do you expect to be spending on campus
an'/'Nay? We'll go for lectures and then come home,
so I think it's best to be closer t o the town so we can
get t o shops and everything else faster.
A: I dor)"! think that's such a good idea, at least not for
the fi rst year. I think it's best if we stick to living on
campus because then we'll meet a lot of people. Part
of the excit ement about going to universit y is meeting
new people and if we choose t o live in a flat, just the
two of us, then we're opting to seclude ourselves and
I don't want to do that. It will be so much more
beneficial if we live among other studen t s.
B: I like the idea of being around other students, but not
knowing who I'll be sharing a room with is quite a
fnghtening prospect. I just don't think I'd feel
com fo rtable movi ng in somewhere and not know ing
anyone. I just can·t do that.
A: Okay, I can see you're not going to come around to
my way of thinking I How about a compromise? We
can live on campus, or near to campus in a large flat
with other students. We can ask if we can be put
together so we'll have each other, but we'll also be
meeting lot s of other students, too. What do you
think about that option?
B: Yes, okay. I think that's a great idea. Hopefully we'll be
within walking distance to the t own, too!

1 1 I think around 2% of Lithuanians go to the cinema,
which is extremely low compared to other European
countries. Although Romania and Latvia have quit e
low percentages too, in comparison t o other

2 Going to the cinema IS popular because it's Cl comfort,
something that has never changed and will never
change. Even though 3D and HO have been
Introduced. It'S Cl tale as old as time, people indulge in
snacks such as popcorn and sweets and share the
experience of watching a film with other people. Also.
I think it's such a popular activity in Europe because
each country has their own fi lm industry, so to watch
a fi lm In another language is an exciting experience in
the cinema .
3 I love to go to the cinema because I can really treat
myself. I go occasionally with my friends and when I
do, I have to have all the works; popcorn, sweets,
frozen drinks, the lot! We watch a new re lease at least

once cl month and I always look forward to going. /1
prefer to watch DVDs at home, that way instead of
paying half the amount to watch it once by going to
the cinema, I can buy It on DVD and watch it as many
times as I like, Also, I prefer for my friends and I to
watch it In comfort, not sat with a load of strangers. I
I think watching films on the Internet is much better
than paying to go to the cinema or even buying it on
DVD . I enJOY being able t o pay for it and instantly have
access to It, Instead of paying online for a DVD and
waiting for It to be delivered. Also, by down loading it,
I can put It onto my iPad and take it with me wherever
I go.
