READING 1
Making a documentary

Now that nearly everyone owns a video camera, many people today think that they can produce a
documentary, but good documentaries are not easy to make. From the beginning you need to have​ a clear
reason for making the film, so it’s important to know what you are hoping to achieve. Probably the
 most important thing is to make sure that you have an interesting subject, which you are passionate about,
because if you aren’t interested in the subject, it’s unlikely that the audience will be interested. The next
step is to study other successful documentaries to get some ideas on how to tell your story. However,
before you can tell that story, you need to do as much research as you can into the subject because it is
always better to have too much information than not enough.

1. It’s quite easy today to make a documentary.

READING 2
Read the advert and highlight five true statements.
Volunteer work overseas

Calling medical and teaching students. Want to spend a year working with the Maasai in East Africa? Maasai
community schools welcome volunteer teaching staff who can assist with all subjects. They also need people
with medical knowledge to help run local health clinics and give vaccinations. They also need people to assist
women who are having babies and to care for them afterwards.
Accommodation is provided with local families, which is a great way to learn more about their lives and
customs. However, most homes do not have running water, so life will be very different from what you are
used to.
Before you start working either as a teacher or a medical assistant, there is a two-week orientation or
preparation programme based in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. After that we transport you to your home
stay and introduce you to the family you are going to live with.
 • Photography students can become volunteers with this programme.
• Teaching students will help with all subjects in the community schools.
• Local clinics are looking for teachers of medical subjects.
• Medical students will help mothers having babies.
• Volunteers will work in different families.
• Local families will offer rooms to the students.
• There is no water in most Maasai homes.
• All volunteers will spend two weeks in Nairobi before starting work.
• Some teachers will stay in Nairobi to work.
