Name:   Nick
Age: 12
Country:
School: 4 - Academic Secondary School

Transcript

Hi, my name is Nick and I’m from Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States of America. In Cleveland, we have three major sports teams: One, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the second is the Cleveland Indians, and last is the Cleveland Browns.

The Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA finals in 2016, led by LeBron James. The Cleveland Cavaliers went from a three to one deficit to win the NBA finals. LeBron James was the MVP of the series.

LeBron was in Cleveland to play for his hometown in 2010. After that season in 2010 he went to Miami. For four years he won two championships. After the fourth year he came back to Cleveland to win a championship for his hometown and after the first year in 2015 he did not win in six games, but in 2016 he won it for his hometown along with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love – the big three of Cleveland.

The Cleveland Browns were coming up in the league and they made it to the World Series in 2016 but lost in seven games. They were led by Francisco Lindor, their shortstop. The Cleveland Browns are awful, let’s just go like that. They’re just bad but there are some good sides out of them even though they’re all in ten. They’ve been having injuries with their quarterbacks, so I mean, they’ve had six quarterbacks take a snap.

So the Cleveland Cavaliers are basketball, the Cleveland Indians are baseball, and the Cleveland Browns are football, not soccer, football.

My favorite team is the Cleveland Cavaliers because, you know, they’re good. But, we used to be season ticket holders for the Cleveland Browns until they raised the price. The Cleveland Indians – we’ve been going there every single year so I mean, we’re just a mix of all three. The Cleveland Browns stadium is called FirstEnergy Stadium, the Cleveland Indians stadium is called Progressive Field and the CAVs stadium is called Quicken Loans Arena.

Thank you for watching!

Name:   Adam
Age: 11
Country: Austria
School: 1- Primary School

Transcript

Hi, my name is Adam. I come from Hungary and Ghana. I was born in Vienna, and my hobbies are doing lots of sports like skiing, judo and football and those kinds of things. I would like to be a YouTuber when I grow up, because it is a fun way to.  It’s fun and it’s good to like share what you’re doing, and I think it’s nice to like share what you’re doing with other people and I would also do some kind of other jobs like something, like not that. I much like, I wouldn’t do go to an office like every day and do something like maybe a part, not a whole time job, so maybe, I change like like for months I do something and I could change and have some time to do other things like, like, like not that. Because I wouldn’t like to go like every day to work and work like for the whole time and then come back home like stressed out. The next day I’d have to do the same thing over and over again. Maybe I’ll also have some holidays when I can rest and do some other things.

Okay, and, what are your favourite YouTube channels?

Maybe my favourite, I think my favourite. I have many, I couldn’t say “one” favourite YouTube channel because I watch many videos, so I cannot really say which one my favorite YouTube channel is. I may say Mr. Beast and maybe DanTDM and also some other channels. But mostly, entertainment and things like – because I don’t really like blogs and things. I would like more like entertainment that I can watch sometimes and also look at other people’s videos so I could find out what I could do maybe when I grow up. Find more like information that I could do and how I should do it to make it interesting and entertaining.

And what genre inspires you the most?

Gameplay, like I would like to do like gameplay and things like that. So, like my inspiring YouTube channel is maybe Mr. Beast, but I don’t know because some of the YouTube channels. It depends on what I’m doing, because sometimes I search up how to do like videos, how to record them well and sound and everything like that.  Lighting, but, and for, like gameplay, it’s funny and more like Gilly and maybe Cobble Cop.

Okay, Adam, thank you very much!

Right now, we are in tenth place of this league and the season was very bad for us this year. The teams became much much harder and harder throughout the years, but we are looking forward to win the league’s title. Our school team has won eight times the league title. And they won eight times the league title.

Because he wants to destroy the earth on his birthday and make it to a huge red pyramid.

But the Orcs and the dragon took it  over. It’s technically how he does everything and how he brings – how he takes over the mountain with these dwarves. And my favourite character is Thorin the leader of the dwarves, and the way that he plans everything out and the dwarves and everything…

Transcript

Hello my name is Nathan. My favourite book’s name is “The Mystery of the Missing Necklace”. The author’s name is Enid Blyton. And I like it because it’s not just very normal, not just a regular story mountain but it also is many different problems and a few solutions and one main solution at the end. And, it’s about … the main characters are Fatty, Bets, Larry, Daisy and the dog, who is Buster. They are always getting up to mysteries and always trying to solve the mysteries and in this story they are trying to find a necklace and pearls, which were lost, and were robbed off the king and queen. And so they are going to … trying to go to find it.

They try to look everywhere, and, Fatty who is a very good disguiser decides to use his disguising technique and goes in … when he finds out about the robber’s meeting place, he goes there in disguise but then … and the policeman who is always trying to catch them out, Mister Goon, also tries to go there and in the meeting he coughs and he is supposed to be unseen and so is Fatty and so unfortunately the robbers find Fatty instead of Mr Goon, the angry policeman, and they lock him up and so he … what happens then is, the Find-Outers, as the group calls himself,  go and try … and rescue him and tell the chief inspector, Inspector Jenks, about the happenings.
