Hi! I’ve just read about a project called the Young People’s Forest. The Woodland Trust wants to create a new forest in Derbyshire on an old industrial site. They plan to plant more than 250,000 trees and create ponds, wetlands, and grasslands to help wildlife. Young people can volunteer to design the space and plant trees. The forest will also be an outdoor classroom where students can learn about nature and the environment.

The life as Charles Dickens.
ResponderEliminarCharles Dickens was a famous English writer. He was born on February 7. 1812, in Portsmouth, England. His family wasn’t rich.
When Charles was young, his father went to prision because he had money problems. Charles had to stop school and work in a factory. This was a very hard time in his life. Later, Charles studied and became a writer. He wrote many books about poor people and children. His stories talk about life in England in the 1800s, for example, ‘’A Crhistmas Carol’’.
Charles Dickens died on June 9, 1870 but many people still read his books today.

I really enjoy taking photos,mostly with my phone because it's super easy to carry around. I like capturing moments with my friends and family,especially when we are traveling or doing fun activities.
ResponderEliminarAs for using them, I mostly keep them on my phone, but I often share the best ones on social media, like instagram. Sometimes I print out a few favorites to put up in my room. I think photos are the best way to remember good times.

The start of a new school year is always exciting but can feel a little nervous too.It’s a chance to meet new teachers,see old friends,and make new ones.Students get to explore different subjects,try new activities,and set goals for themselves.Every term feels like a fresh start, even if some routines stay the same.It’s not just about studying,it’s about learning,growing,and having new experiences that make school more fun and meaningful.

Hi, today I'm going to tell you how to spot a fake photo. To find out if a photo is fake, the first thing you should do is look for the details. Sometimes the shadows don't match either the light is rare.
ResponderEliminarAldo you should notice about the size of the things, because they can be very big or have a size that it doesn't be real.
Futhermore another important thing is find out if the picture is edited, such as if the frames are blurred.
Finally, it's a good idea look for the photo on the internet for check if it appears in anothers webs.

Yes, I have. I once believed a photo on social media was real, but later I found out it wasn't real.
ResponderEliminarIt was a photo of an animal in a strange place.
I felt surprised and a bit stupid, but I learned to be more careful and look all the details of the photos.

I think photo 3 in page 46 might be fake, because the clouds doesn't look real they are purple and pink and this can't be real.
ResponderEliminarPhoto 4 can't be real, because butterflies can't hold a woman and the shadows of the photo doesn't look real.
