Family holidays
A
Amy
We spent two weeks on a campsite with direct access to the beach. It had food and
souvenir shops, so we had everything we needed for cooking our own meals. We
spent most of our time on the campsite and the beach, with just one trip to a
museum in a nearby town. That was organised by the campsite owners, so we
avoided having to pay for an expensive hire car. We enjoyed getting to know the
people who worked at the campsite really well. They always stopped to chat, even
when they were very busy.
B
Benjamin
The resort was huge. Everyone worked hard to make everything just right and we
certainly had no complaints. There were so many activities for all the family. The
chefs were really talented and there was something different on the menu every
evening, which was brilliant! We met lots of other guests and we’ve exchanged
numbers with some of them. We’d love to get together at the same resort next
year, but for 10 days, not just a week like this time, because we didn’t get the
chance to do everything that’s on offer.
C
Chrissie
The holiday included everything – hotel, food, entertainment – but I’m not sure we’d
do that again. We like making our own choices about what to eat. We flew this time
which was a waste of money: we discovered afterwards that going by train is just
as fast and far better value. The facilities were great, though. I spent ages in the
pools improving my swimming. There were some interesting day trips in the area
and I’m glad we did them, even though they cost extra. The markets were fun, and
I got a typical painting to remind me of the trip. We were ready to leave at the end
of the week, though.
D
Dani
I’m glad a friend suggested this holiday. We were only there for five days, but it felt
a lot longer because of everything we did. The bike rides were best. Mum’s not
usually a fan of cycling, but she joined in with the rest of us, which I couldn’t
believe! We had a great time together! At a local restaurant they let me have a go
at making pizzas. It wasn’t easy, but I managed. Would we go back? Probably, but
next time with our car. Public transport wasn’t great and there’s loads to see and do
that we missed.

Questions 37–42
Read the text and questions below.
For each question, circle the correct letter A, B, C or D.
Making nature films
14-year-old Maisie Holroyd writes about her hobby
Two years ago, I started making films showing local wildlife. My parents were surprised by
my choice of hobby, as I’d never really been into nature or particularly enjoyed watching lots
of programmes about animals before. I was getting tired of most of my interests, which I’d
had since I was eight or nine. So when a friend started filming birds in her garden, with a
camera she’d got for her birthday, I thought I’d like to have a go at it too.
The first film I made was of some rabbits. They can run quite fast, but I managed to follow
them fairly well. I got over twenty minutes of film, then used the best bits to make the final
version, which was much shorter. I filmed in the evening, so it was quite dark, but the
pictures were much brighter on the camera. There were lots of loud noises through the whole
film, though, which I later realised were the wind, so it wasn’t a great success!
After making some better films, I created my own video channel and uploaded them. I’ll
never get enough people watching the videos to earn any money, but the number who do still
surprises me. Most of them encourage me, but there are a few who post things that could
hurt me – I just ignore them. Some of my older films seem pretty bad now, but I made a
decision not to take them off my channel, to remind me how much better my films are these
days.
My interest has led to me setting up the first ever film-making club at my school. There are
already about fifteen people involved, and we all help each other to improve our films. I’m
learning to dive too, as one of my aims is to be able to make videos of sea creatures. I can’t
imagine studying film-making at university or working in film, but I hope I’ll always have it as
a hobby.
37 Why did Maisie decide to make nature films as a hobby?
A
She had always loved animals.
B
She wanted to try something different.
C
She received a camera as a gift.
D
She had seen lots of documentaries.

38 Why was Maisie disappointed with her first film?
A

B
It was too dark to see clearly.
C
The animals in it moved too quickly.

It was shorter than she wanted.
