C Alex is writing an email to John about the film The Hobbit. There are eight mistakes in his email. Underline the mistakes and correct them.
Hi John,

Last week, we talk about the book The Hobbit. I finally read the book. I'm so glad I did. I enjoyed it very much! Did you knew that there is a film version of it too? I watch it last Sunday. It was amazing!
In the film, the world of Middle-earth looks so cool! All of the places and characters were just as I thought it would be. I loved watching Bilbo travel through forests and over mountains. The best part was when he found a powerful ring and realized it could change his life! I think the actors and actresses do a great job too. They make the characters come to life.
There was two more films in The Hobbit series. I can't wait to watch them! Do you want to came over to my place this weekend to watch the films? Let me know!
Cheers,
Alex

B Write your own story about five children and a wish going wrong.

One day, five children met a sand fairy while exploring the old garden. They cheered and made their wish, "We want to have endless candies!"
The next minute, their wish came true—but it turned into a nightmare.
The first child was buried under a mountain of lollipops. He couldn't move and felt suffocated.
The second child's teeth started hurting badly because she ate too many candies in a second. She cried out in pain.
The third child found that all his toys were covered in sticky candy. He couldn't play with any of them and felt upset.
The fourth child's clothes got stuck with melted candies. She felt uncomfortable and wanted to take them off immediately.
The fifth child was surrounded by bees attracted by the candies. He ran around but couldn't get rid of them. He didn't like that at all!
None of the children enjoyed the endless candies. They learnt a lesson: be careful about what you wish for, because sometimes what you have is already the best.
