Title
Every good article has a title.
Try to make the title interesting
For example, choose one of the following ideas:
Films I like (and how I watch them)
How to best watch the films you love
Home or cinema – How do you watch your favourite
films?
However, don’t feel stressed. If you just use the
title “Films”, you won’t lose any marks.
