Pupil's Book, Unit 9 page 108 1 Look at the pictures. Listen to Mark's podcast. Which idea is not in the pictures? Did you know that making some films costs more than $250 million dollars? That's right! $250 million! So today I'm asking my classmates what they'd do if they had $250 million to make a film. Here's what they said. Hi! I'm making a show for the school podcast. Could I ask you a question? Yeah. Cool! What would you do if you had $250 million dollars to make a film? $250 million?! I'd love to work with a famous actor. Someone who's a big celebrity . . . like umm, Selena Gomez or, I don't know . . . George Clooney. You'd have to pay them a lot of money! Yes, the hero or heroine is the most important person in most films. If there was someone famous in my film, it'd be really popular. What would you do if you had $250 million dollars to make a film? I'd love to make a drama film about history. OK. So I'd spend the money by building lots of beautiful old rooms in a studio. You know, with huge paintings and big gold chairs! Well . . . If I had that money, I'd buy cameras and costumes for the actors. And I'd spend the money on adverts. It's really important that everyone knows about new films. My favourite singer could be in the advert - that'd be expensive . . . and so, so cool! Well, I wouldn't make a film -I'd make a TV series about tigers. There'd be six programmes that are each 30 minutes long. That'd be great for the nature channel. What would you spend the money on? On visiting China with some cameras and travelling around. I'd love to put lots of cameras around a forest to film the tigers. That'd be amazing. I'd spend the money on special effects. I'd love to make a film about people who can fly. So I'd have one scene with the heroine flying above a city, and another where she flies into a volcano . . . I'd love to make a film with my dance group. That sounds cool! Yeah, we're doing a dance performance next week actually. That's great! Maybe Jenny can review it for her blog? And what would you spend the money on? Well it'd be great to have some new dance shoes. If I only bought the shoes, could I keep the change? Haha! Why not? 2 Listen again. Put the pictures in the order that you hear them.

Pupil's Book, Unit 9 page 108 The Monster in our Homes I think you're probably not aware Of the terrible monster sitting there. Inside your house, right under your nose, ‘Cos everyone's got one, but nobody knows. It's big and ugly and usually black, It waits and waits, ready to attack. When you sit down and switch it on, You can't escape it and then you're gone. The screen catches you and you sit and stare, You really don't know how long you're there. Your eyes get tired and sleepy and red, And Mum keeps shouting, ‘It's time for bed! ' Children are one of its favourite things, It shows them heroes and monsters with wings. Cartoons and quiz shows, movies and more, Means that kids can't move from their place on the floor. And even though it seems free and fun, If I were you I'd get out and run. Because there's no doubt, it can change your mind, With the silly ideas that you might find. Parents often say, ‘Your eyes will go square. ' And some kids respond, ‘I think that's unfair! ’ But take the remote and they'll shout and scream, And others I've heard can get really mean! But there is a solution against this terrible enemy, Just think about kids in the past generally. They had no technology, not even a phone, But had lots of friends and were never alone. They played in the streets with their friends, they were happy, They skipped, rode bikes and were very chatty. Some rode to the library and even took out a book, They got lost in adventures with Captain Cook. So if you've got a house with a monster within, I'd get rid of it now, I'd throw it straight in the bin. I'd think twice about watching so much television, I'd find other things to do and I'd make that my mission!
