What Makes A Movie A Hit?
Some stars have fans who will go and see any movie they are in. However, not all movies that have big stars in them are successful, and using famous actors can be expensive!
There are lots of movies which come from books, comics, computer games or TV shows. Just think of Harry Potter, Wonder Woman, X-Men, Star Wars, etc. People already love these, so they can't wait to see the movie.
Before people go and see a movie, they often check to see what others write or talk about it in the newspapers or on the websites. Also, people who love a movie will tell their friends how good it is.
This is really important. As well as posters, most big movies will now have a website that gives extra information about the movie. Also, when a new movie comes out, the stars of the movie usually travel around the world and give interviews to get people interested in the movie.
Awards (奖) like the Oscars and the Golden Globes let people know which movies are good to watch. A movie that gets an award often becomes much more popular than before.

GALLANT KIDS How to Make a Difference |

|
Liam's Lunches of Love Liam Hannon was only ten when he started handing out free lunches to people who were hungry. With help from his family and other supporters, he hands out 75 to 100 lunches three times a month. We asked Liam to tell us about it. Q: A: Four summers ago, I didn't want to go to camp. Instead, I did an online treasure-hunt program. My first task was to do something to help homeless people, and I got the idea of making them lunch. Q: What's the best part about what you do? A: I'd say meeting the people. They're real people who just need a little kindness in their lives. Some of them have become friends of our family. Q: A: I want to tell them to do something they enjoy. And get help from friends and family. I invite my friends to help with lunches, and almost every time, they've come and given out lunches with me and my dad. |
EDITOR'S(编者) NOTE
First, think what needs to be improved. By doing this, you may see steps you can take towards that goal. Many people don't give a start because they want to make a HUGE difference. But actions and results don't have to be huge to be meaningful. Take Liam, for example. His goal was not to solve the problem but to help. So he did. For the people who got those lunches, he made things better. Share your ideas with a parent. Every helpful act you do, no matter how small, makes the world better!

To see the world around us, we use our eyes. Our eyes are very clever. Each eye catches a different picture, so we can have a 3D picture of what we see. Our eyes can help us to see things that are a very long way away or very close. We can see well when it is bright or dark. Being able to see well is really important. We do things every day where, if we couldn't see well, it would be very dangerous.
Our eye is made up of different parts. In the middle of the eye is the pupil that lets in light. The coloured part is called the iris, which helps the pupil open and close. The eyelid can stop the eyeball from being dry and protect it. The eyelashes keep dirt and other things away from our eyes.
Our eyes will not work so well when we don't use them properly. So it's very necessary for us to take good care of our eyes. There are many things we can do to protect them. For example, it's good for us to get our eyes checked at least twice a year.
Our eyes are amazing and are working hard every second we are awake. Be kind to our eyes!
