Some of the first poems a young child learns in English are    1       rhymes. They are usually the traditional poems or     2       songs. The language of these rhymes, like Poem A, is to the point but has a storyline. Many children enjoy nursery rhymes because they rhyme, have a strong rhythm, and often repeat the same words. The poems may not make sense and even seem     3    , but they are easy to learn and     4    .

Amundsen was the first     1     on 8 September, 1911. He had teams of dogs     2     the sledges and all his men were on skis. Because of this, he made rapid progress.

Even Amundsen was moved by Scott’s death saying “Captain Scott left a record, for honesty, for sincerity, for     3    , for everything that makes a man”. Scott had failed to win the race to the Pole, but the great courage shown by Scott and his men made them heroes.

I use my photography to make     1     impact on people,     2    (especial) when it comes to environmental issues. Today I’ve been photographing a crocodile swimming close to our boat, the Kimberley Quest, all day. When I post the picture online, I will make a comment about how bad it is to feed wild crocodiles. This crocodile is used to passengers throwing food from boats     3     now she is becoming familiar     4     humans. Over time, this could make her a danger to people living in the area. If I can do something to make others aware     5     the problem, then that’s part of the solution.

In less than 18 months, there were over 200,000 people     1     (read) my blog! At first, I only regarded it     2     a hobby, but companies started paying me to take photos and publish them. In 2013, I was determined to make my dream come true: I would become Australia’s first     3     (profession) photo blogger. It was a     4     (challenge) job, but I did it. Now I spend three weeks out of every month travelling and have over 464,000 fans following me online. I’ve got to know more about this country and     5     (it) people.
