  The reason why I chose to write about this book is because I have always enjoyed reading books that are based around competition. The reason why these sort of stories is because there are many times where best friends are forced to betray each other so they can survive and have a chance to live a fabulous life. This book gives you the perfect inside edge to what extents poor or helpless people go just so they can live the life people dream off.

  On Friday the 6th of January 2023, my school took a trip to see “A Christmas Carol” at the Old Vic. I chose to write about this as it was an inspiring and very enjoyable experience that put a slightly modern twist on an old play that still relates to our time period. As we have been studying this play during the beginning of our GCSE course, I thought it would also be a nice topic to write about as it may inspire more young people to get into theatre.

• Cataracts Surgery- Annabelle Tams: St Bede's

  29-01-2023 14:08 via thisislocallondon.co.uk
  
  Cataracts are the clouding of the lense in the eye, resulting from a change in the way cells are arranged, and their water content. Cataracts are treated by a surgery, in which the lense is broken up and removed, and replaced with an artificial lense made of plastic or silicone. This lense does not need to be replaced- meaning the patient only needs one operation per eye. I spoke to Anne, who had recently undergone the surgery, to find out more about it.
