-eally didn't enjoy science lessons much when I was younger. I hated (1) making / doing experiments in the laboratory
recause I was very clumsy and I always did something wrong - like drop a test tube or get my (2) measurements /
explorations all wrong! Also, I was hopeless at (3) taking / keeping a record of my work -1 just wasn't very organised. But
•=cently I've started to get very interested in what we're doing. We had to (4) make / do some research for a project and

ren report our (5) findings / proof to the class. We had to (6) analyse / hypothesise all sorts of problems and test different
7 results / theories. It was hard work but fascinating. Last week we went to a science show in London where they have all
re latest (8) devices / gadgets, including a (9) robot / battery that can serve meals in a restaurant! You can operate it with
i 10) removed / remote control. Cool! I admire people who can (11) invent / discover clever things like that or (12) make /
ao really important discoveries like penicillin and antibiotics. I've been doing some advanced computer training, too. Before
t all I could do was (13) post / send emails and do some basic word (14) producing / processing like create and (15) edit /
rstall files. I knew how to (16) save / back my work OK, but that was about all. Now I've learned things like how to design
17) servers / websites, and I can fix problems caused by computer (18) viruses / infections. So, maybe in the future I can have
x career in some (19) arm / branch of science and change the world a bit! Who knows?
