  We’ve just done a project on New Zealand at school and it was really (1) scary/informative. I didn’t know much about the country before except that it is made up of two
  (2) islands/ice caps in the Pacific Ocean. Now I know that it also has some very high (3) beaches/mountains and even some volcanoes. If you've seen the (4) documentary /fantasy film, The Hobbit, you must have seen them! The fictional land of Middle Earth in the film is really New Zealand!
  I worked with two (5) neighbours/classmates and we got most of our information for the project from
  (6) manuals/encyclopaedias . We used
  (7) guidebooks/dictionaries to look up the place names in the Maori language, which was really interesting. I found the Internet really useful because it was easy to
  (8) turn over/look up useful information. For example, I
  (9) turn up/found out that New Zealand is one of the safest countries in the world. The number of people
  (10) charged/suspected with crimes is going down all the time.
