Hello, everyone! Let me start by     1     you a question: what's the first thing you notice about a film? The acting? The music? Maybe the amazing sets?     2     your answer is, there's always a lot more to it than first meets the eye. Actually, the film you see on the screen is the     3     of a huge     4     of hard work, most of which takes place     5     the scenes. Today, I'll give you a brief introduction to some     6     of film-making you might not be     7     with.

PERU is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas:     1    , dry, flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains and the Amazon rainforest.

In the 1400s and 1500s, Peru was the centre of the     2     ancient Inca Empire. The Inca emperor lived in the now-famous     3     Machu Picchu. Spain took control     4     Peru in the 16th century and ruled until 1821. It is for this reason that Spanish is the main     5     language of Peru.

This four-day walking tour will take you on amazing     6     through the Andes Mountains on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. After reaching your     7    , you will have a day to     8     and be amazed by this ancient city. Especially amazing is the Inca’s dry stone method of building. Inca builders cut stones to     9     sizes so that nothing was needed to hold walls together other than the     10     fit of the stones.

The story of Chinese fashion began in 2011 when Feiyue and Huili, both Chinese sneaker brands (品牌), suddenly gained international attention. Their products     1    (see) on models all over the world then. Last year, Chinese sportswear brand LI-NING was at the New York, Fashion Week in September with new designs decorated with Chinese     2    (character). Now the Chinese brands are impressive and ambitious and can go head to head with foreign brands. And this ambition may be due to the fact that China's young people are now more     3     about their own culture.

The school adviser helped me choose the    1     ones: maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I     2    . My adviser     3     that I should sign up     4     advanced literature because I like English and I’ m good at it.

So why has English changed over time?    1     all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English     2     in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was     3     more on German than the English we speak at present. Then     4     between about AD 800 and 1150, English became     5     like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers     6    the English language and especially its vocabulary. So    7    the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to     8    too. English began to be spoken in both countries. Finally by the 19th century the language was     9    . At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English language. The latter gave a separate     10     to American English spelling.

As human populations grow, animal     1     often begin to     2    . The good news is that in many places around the world, areas are now     3     set aside just for animal use. These wildlife     4     allow animals to live in their natural or wild, habitats. Animals are also     5     in many zoos around the world.

Every living thing in nature     6     to survive. Most plants are     7     by animals and people, as well as by other plants, and may have to live in difficult     8    . Plants survive by     9     to life in different environments, and by     10     successfully with other living things.
