Kenya’s People
In Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, and other large cities, life styles are modern and much like others in Western cities. Most people in the cities wear modern clothes such as jeans and t-shirts. Women in Kenya traditionally wear brightly colored materials and jewelry. Many women also wear a kanga. It is a long piece of material that can be worn as a skirt or tied over the shoulder to carry infants. Kenyan women also often wear head scarves.
Kenyan parents must pay for their children to attend school. Schools are usually run by the community. Children are not required to go to school, but most do.
Kenya’s Homes
People in big cities like Nairobi live in modern houses or apartments made of stone or cement. In more remote areas of Kenya, people live in homes made of thatch and dried mud with no modern conveniences. There are many tribes of people that live simply like their ancestors once did.
Film review Titanic by Armaris
This review is about a film called Titanic.It is about a boat [Titanic] which was built in 1912. A loaded girl called Rose who falls in love with a boy called Jack who is penniless. This 1997 film features Kate Winslet and Leanardo De Caprio the characters are brillantly played in the movie. Rose who is pale-skinned and rosy-cheeked she wears many designer skirts and she’s dark red-haired. Jack who is a fantastic artist, he has got a golden tanned skin, blue- eyed and blonde short hair.
Furthermore the characters [especially Rose and Jack] their acting skills were divine and first class effects. For instance when the Titanic gets flooded and the passengers try hard to hold on but sadly most of the passengers fall off. Rose and Jack fall in love. While sailing the boat hits an iceberg and over 300 passengers drown in the Atlantic ocean. A tragic tale about love and risks.
My favorite part was when they hit the iceberg and the boat gets flooded [It will make you paranoid]. Are you ready to watch this movie? Would you go on the Titanic? I recommended this movie for children who are 10 years old or over because its a hard film to understand and because of the love scenes. I recommended Titanic 5 stars because of the breath-taking effects and it is amazingly directed by James Cameron.[Watch out before you get on a boat]
I am writing a review on the film The Woman In Black…
Daniel Radcliffe is the main character in this scary film.
The Woman In Black is a film that is set in the past. It is a film that involves ghosts. The film is about a woman that is a ghost, that wants extreme revenge for not being allowed to see her young child. A business man (Daniel Radcliffe) has to do an important job in a small village that is cursed. He has to stay in a haunted house, not knowing that The Woman In Black’s spirit is still around. The Woman In Black starts haunting the business man. What will happen next? Will he save himself? What would you do?
I enjoyed every single scene in this unbelievably spine-chilling movie. Although I liked every part, I mostly enjoyed the parts where the ghost will pop out when you are not expecting it.
Overall, The Woman In Black is an excellent film that I will definitely recommend, however I will only recommend it to the children that are eleven years and over. I rate this film ten out of ten.
This review is about one of my favourite comedies, Just Go With It.
This 2011 hit comedy is about a wealthy plastic surgeon that goes by the name of Danny Macabee, who finds that by telling clueless women that his marriage is on the rocks and by showing his beloved wedding ring as proof, he can get the ladies. Soon he falls for a beautiful blue-eyed woman with clear olive skin and lengthened golden locks named Palmer. Although everything may seem perfect for Danny it soon becomes far from perfect when she unexpectedly finds that very same wedding ring in his pocket and refuses to believe that he’s about getting a divorce. Furtheremore she dumps him! Now all Danny needs to do is try and persuade his collegue/best friend, Katherine Murphy, a not so wealthy woman who doesn ‘t spend her time obsessing over designer clothes and bags, to pretend to be his wife he’s about to divorce.
This laugh out loud comedy features big names such as Jennifer Aniston, who absolutly nailed her role, and Adam Sandler, who in my opinion was born to do comedy.
Overall I personally enjoyed every minute of this movie, especially when they go to Hawaii and all of the lies soon start to unravel. Lots of lies and lots of laughs. Unfortunatly there is an age restriction of 12, but I would definitely recommend it to all of you teens who love to have a laugh!
I rate this movie five stars, however it’s only for children above the age of 12. Now all thats left is for to actually watch it!!!!!
This review is about The Simpsons movie in this review it tells you about the funny parts.
While I was watching the movie there was some ridiculacly funny chartors called Homer (Dad). Marge (Mum) Bart (10 year old brother) Lisa (9 year old sister) and Maggy the baby. However there is a lot more but I will let u find out yourself !
As well as that I’m am going to tell you a short part of the movie, well Homer dares Bart to ride on his skate board with just his underwear otherwise he would be declared chicken for life….
Although I like the bit when Grandpa goes crazy in church, he says some really silly stuff that is not real. You can’t even understand what he was saying.
Overall I would rate this movie 9 out of ten also I would recommend this one. It is fantastic!!
This review is about a film named Grown Ups. It is about five old friends, from a school basketball team, meet up for their coaches funeral. Afterwards they rent a lakehouse with their families for the summer.
This Movie features many famous faces such as Adam Sandler as Lenny ‘Hollywood’ Fader, Chris Rock as Kurt Mckenzie, Kevin James as Eric Lamonsoff, David Spade as Marcus Higgings and Rob Schinider as Rob Hilliard. Also Featuring Salma Hayak as Roxanne Fader and Maya Rudolph as Dianne Mckenzie.
Lenny Fader is a famous movie producer. While Kurt Mckenzie and Eric Lamonsoff are you adverage family men. Marcus Higgings is a single, ladies man. On the other hand Rob Hilliard is a spiritual guy with bad family relationships.
At the lakehouse, the Fader family have to go to Milan, Italy for Roxanne’s fashion designs. Lennny and the other guys persuade them to stay and they do many summer activities such as Water Parks and 4th of July Picnics.
My Favorite part is when the boys play an old schoolyard game named Arrow Roulette. Someone shoots the arrow in the air and you have to try and stay in the circle the longest. Rob stays in the longest but the arrow goes straight through his foot.
This film has no weak points. You will enjoy every second of it, it is comedic and entertaining. I would reccomend this film to kids in Year 6 and older. I dont think younger kids will understand and benifit from the jokes. I rate this film 4 & a half out of 5 stars.
