Create a summary of the plot of the film Titanic.  The format of your output should be as follows:

Start with a two-column table giving the cast list.  The first column should be headed “Character” and give each character’s name; the second column should be headed “Actor/actress” and give the name of the person who played this character.  Only include the names of the leading characters.

Under a separate heading then give the plot synopsis, using simple English and in no more than 100 words.

Finally include (again under a separate heading) your opinion of the film. 

Avoid jargon and filler words.  Assume that you are an experienced film reviewer, but that you can be a bit cynical and a bit sarcastic.

Create a travel bingo card for children aged between 6 and 12. The bingo card should contain 12 things that each person should try to see during a typical long car journey in the UK. The card should have 3 columns and 4 rows. Each of the 12 pictures in the card should have a large picture showing the thing that needs to be seen, and underneath this a smaller text description describing what the picture represents. Do not include any other text in your answer: just the bingo card picture.

Take the number of lives that a cat has, and multiply this by the number of wonders there were in the ancient world.  Subtract from this the answer to life, the universe and everything as given by Douglas Adams.  Present your answer in a single sentence reading like this:

“The answer to your questions is X”, where X should be the number you’ve worked out.  If you can’t do this sum, let me know.

It is important that you don’t include any other text in your answer – just the sentence I’ve specified.

Create a numbered list of the 3 biggest challenges facing the world today, describing each in a maximum of 10 words. Include a brief sentence explaining what the list contains. Your audience should be GCSE Level students in the UK. Avoid any filler words or jargon, and use concise English.

I am hosting a dinner party tonight, and need help deciding what to cook.

To help me decide what to make, please ask me a series of questions (one at a time, waiting for my answer before you go on to the next question) until you have enough information to suggest a meal plan (this should include one main course and one dessert only).

Please then give me your suggestion for a main course and dessert to make, giving a short description of each. Do not include recipes or ingredients, and do not explain to me why you've made your choices.

Please create a contract to be signed by both the owner of a pet cat and the cat itself, at the time that the cat first joins its new household. The contract should be short (covering a single page of A4 if possible) but be written in a legal style, with lots of numbered paragraphs and legal-sounding phrases. There should be space beneath the contract for both the pet owner and the cat itself to sign and date the contract. Please include a definitions section at the top, defining the following terms: "The pet" - refers to the proposed new cat, to be called Sprout "The owner" - refers to Bobbity, the proposed guardian of this pet The intention is that this should be a funny document, so please feel free to include lots of silly contractual terms.
