This report outlines the results of a survey about films and young people at our school. Fifty students aged 14–16 were asked about their film-viewing habits and preferences. The majority of students said that they watched films on TV, online and at the cinema. Over 80% said that they would like to have more films for young people. More than half of those interviewed said that they preferred to watch films at the cinema rather than on TV. To sum up, this survey shows that young people watch films in different ways and that there is a lack of good films for this age group.

Grant application July summer course

Dear Mr Cameron, Please find attached my application form for a grant for a summer course to study English in Edinburgh. As you will see, I am interested in improving my English. I am currently a student at IES Barajas in Madrid. This year I am taking my leaving exams and I am expected to pass them all with good grades. I have studied English for eight years and my level is B1. I went to a summer camp in the USA last year, so I already have some experience, too. If I am accepted, I will certainly make the most of this wonderful opportunity. After I leave school I hope to go to university and study languages, so I would benefit greatly from doing this course. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you.
