 I [ook aphoto a day
For a wholg year! byHetenwinter
Like most young people nowadays, I love taking photos with my smartphone.
Even before I started the '3ó5 Photos' project, I took lols of snaps of my family,
my pets and sometime§ even my dinnerl I love the fact tha[ without spending
a fortune, you can take excellent photos with a smartphone, which you can
then share on social media - somelhing I also really enjoy doing! But most of
all I love lhe way that you can photograph something at the exact moment you
see lt. You can capture a moment in time.

When one of my friends told me lhat she had started the proiect, I thought it
was a great ídea. I wanted to Use the photos to cfeate a record of the year for
me to look back on. Bul what I didn't realise at the s[art was thaI it would also
make me a better photographer. Now I even want to specialise in photography
at art school.

I thought that taking a pic[ure every day would be simple, and on some days
il was - in fact, it was hard to choose just one picture as there were so many
I liked. BuI on other days all the photos seemed unin[efesting and it was quile
sIfessful to find one that was good enough Io keep. lt was only when I looked
back on the whole year that I saw thaI some of lhe simples[ shots were the
mos[ meaningful.

When I finally had my 3ó5 photos, I couldn't believe iI had been a whole year.
At the beginning it felt like it would be a very long time but actually, it was over
before I knew it - time went by really quickly. You would think that I would be
glad to have a year of experiences caplured on camera, but mostly I felt sorry it
was over. I knew I was going to miss it. But looking at all my photos also made
me realise thaI you don't have to be a really creative pefson to make art' All it
takes is some haPpy moments - and a smartphone!

Questions 11-15

For each question, choose the correct answer.

Selling iewellery
Lily Richards shares her experience of starting her own business when she was still a teenager.

I thought about making jewellery. My mum recommeñded that I get a part-time iob
was sixteen years old when I first
over the summer holidays and so I did some babysitting. However, it didn't pay very well and I soon began looking for
something else. I think what motivated me was money. I was determined to buy a car so that I could learn to drive.
I thought I could make and sell iewellery after my mum received a gorgeous handmade bracelet from a friend for
her birthday.

The f,rst thing I did'was make a shopping list of things I needed to buy. Shopping for them with my mum was definitely
the most fun part. I then tried to make a necklace. Watching videos of jewellery makers online helped a bit but my
first tries were rubbish, so I decided to take a course at aTocal college. With the teacher's help, I made fewer errors then
started to get better. It took some time but I finally made something that I was proud of. I gave it to my friendJade for
her birthday. She loved it and that gave me the confidence to carty on.

I spent hours making different types of jewellery - all my own designs. I showed them to some of my friends and family
online, and they offered to buy them from me. That's when my business started. I made more pieces and gave them to
rny friends and family to setl. They held parties and sold them to their guests at a fair§ cheap price. My mum and I also
sold some at a really popular market during the summer holidays. That's when my iewellery started to get noticed.

I soon realised I needed to pick company name. I chose Purple Leaf Jewellery. I'd like to say that the name is made up
a
of my favourite colour plus my favourite natural object. However, the truth is that I used a website that recommends
names you can use. Friends made lots of suggestions and voted for their favourite but in the end I didn't go with any of
those. I didn't listen to my brother either. He wanted me to name it after him!

A she planned to give someone a gift. A She found it online.
B she wanted to save money. B She used words she liked.

C going to the store to buy materials. C 'l'm so happy that my childhood hobby became my job.'
D showing her creations to family. D 'lt's possible to achieve your dream.'
13 Lily thinks her jewellery started to become popular because
A she advertised it on social media.
