What I did:
I watched movies during the June holidays and I was interested to find out the process of making a movie.
What I learned:
The process requires a huge sum of money and time. Make a plan, develop it. You have to ask for advice to figure out your best money strategy. Try to get as much free props as you can to lighten the load of money going out. Break down the script to know the scenes and what characters and people you need on set. Then, hire people to act, write the script, make the set and costumes etc. Then you have to set up pages on social media to look for supporters to support the project. Make a trailer, post it on social media to grab attention and get more supporters. Start filming. Add in sound effects (could hire a computer expert) and background music. Release the project.

What I did: I went to today as I wanted to know more about the stomach flu outbreak I heard about.
Words I do not know:
Rotavirus-Any of a group of RNA viruses, some of which cause acute enteritis in humans.
Stool-A piece of faeces
Summary: A “community outbreak” led to the spate of stomach flu cases in the Owen Road area last month, but investigations into the incident have still not been able to identify its source.The authorities had observed that on Wednesday that the number of cases seen by clinics in the area had “significantly declined” since the Pek Kio Market, and Food Centre was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected from May 25 to 26.They thus declared the outbreak of stomach flu to be over.The hawker centre was closed for two days because of the outbreak of stomach flu there.To, date 180 cases had been verified to be linked to the outbreak.And of 26 people, 23 people's stools were tested positive for rotavirus.seventeen patients were admitted to hospital for treatment, and all have been discharged.The investigation by MOH had shown that the outbreak of rotavirus occurred between May 15 and 28. However, they could not find any specific event or food premises or stall that could be the source of the outbreak as All the food, water and environmental samples collected had tested negative for rotavirus.Members of the public had earlier speculated that pigeons or rats could have contributed to the outbreak. Although pigeons and rats are unlikely to be the source of the transmission, they are nonetheless unwelcome pests.The NEA will continue to place Pek Kio Market and Food Centre under close surveillance. Its officers will also be conducting checks to ensure that the stallholders observe proper personal hygiene and food handling practices, and that the toilets in the centre are properly maintained and cleaned.
The NEA is also working closely with the Hawkers’ Association on the prompt collection and removal of soiled crockery from tables to prevent left food from attracting birds to the market.
NEA also urge Member of the public are also to take the necessary precautions, such as washing or sanitising their hands regularly, and using service utensils when sharing food.

What I did: I went to BBC, and I found this very interesting article on the and Decided read up on it
Words I do not know:
Moat:
a deep, wide ditch surrounding a castle, fort, or town, typically filled with water and intended as a defence against attack.
Activists:
An activist is a person who campaigns for some kind of social change. When you participate in a march protesting the closing of a neighbourhood library, you're an activist. Someone who's actively involved in a protest or a political or social cause can be called an activist.
Summary:
Zoo officials have shot dead a gorilla after a four-year-old boy fell into its enclosure in the US city of Cincinnati.The boy climbed over the barrier and dropped into the enclosure where he was grabbed and dragged by the endangered gorilla.The officials made a tough decision to shoot the gorilla dead as the situation was life threatening and a tranquillizer would not have had a quick enough effect.But, Two female gorillas in the enclosure did not approach the child and thus were unharmed.Cincinnati Zoo has temporarily shut its gorilla exhibit following the incident on Saturday.Just last week before this happened, two lions were shot dead in a zoo in Chile after a man entered their pen in an apparent suicide attempt.In a similar incident in 1986 on the island of Jersey, a Crown dependency of the UK, a five-year-old boy fell into a gorilla enclosure.He lost consciousness and a silverback gorilla called Jambo famously stood guard over him, protecting him from other gorillas and stroking his back. When the boy came round he started to cry, and the gorillas retreated, allowing keepers to rescue the child, Levan Merritt.
A life-sized statue of Jambo fetched £18,000 ($26,000) at auction, and he even appeared on Jersey stamps.

What I did: I saw in the news on the TV that there was Paris flood, so I decided to read up on it on BBC News.I wanted to do a summary of what happened.
words I do not know:
Swelling-a natural rounded protuberance.
Curator-a keeper or custodian of a museum or other collection
Summary:
The Louvre and Orsay museums at Paris were shut as staff had to moved artworks to safety as flood levels climbed above 6m.The Seine was expected to reach as high as 6.5m and unlikely to recede over the weekend, with more downpours forecast.15 people had died across Central Europe because of heavy rainfall.Ten of thousands of people were affected as they're forced from their home.The flood had caused France insurance company more than 600 million euros (£470m), according to the industry association AFA.In Paris, the Cluny - La Sorbonne and St Michel metro stations were closed as a precaution while the river spilt onto the city's streets.Frances’ Bridges were closed, and non-emergency boats were banned from the Seine as its swelling forced the closure of museums, parks and cemeteries.Authorities have also transferred the presidency and key ministries to secure areas.While France's rainfall levels in May were the highest since 1873, the current crisis is eclipsed by the 1910 floods that saw Paris submerged for two months, when the Zouave was up to his neck in the Seine.The river level peaked at 8.62m that year and had since reached 7.1m in 1955 and 6.18m in 1982.
