Do you know what I've been doing? I've been        a tree, getting it to talk No, don't laugh. It's true. I'm not making it up. The tree is the       of someone in the maker movement. I don't know if you have         the movement, but I find it fascinating. It's very popular in America and now it is           in China. It is even receiving          from the government, which hopes it will help to         the economy. The maker movement bring together traditional craft skills with the very latest in         technology to create something new. It does so by providing places where makers can          to learn new skills from one another. Makers also encourage the sharing of ideas, rather than working         . So why not give it a try? If you like         things you might end up in venting something even more surprising than a talking tree!
