The following text is for questions 1 to 4.
Tool and Ingredient:
wax molds,
wick,
dye discs,
essential oils, and
a double boiler.
Steps:
1. Melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it bursting into
flames, you must melt it in a double boiler, with water in the bottom pan.
2. Prepare the mold with the wick. Thread the wick through the mold and make
sure that you leave a good few centimeters sticking out of the hole in the
bottom.
3. After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few drops of
essential oil to the melted wax. You can use any essential oil you like, as
long as it doesn't contain water.
4. Next step, pour the wax into the mold. Try and tip the wax into the mold
quickly, all in one go, to minimize spillage and air bubbles.
5. Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will
eventually make the candle sink, so you will need to top it up with more
melted wax.

be taken out of its mold.

Cappuccino coast is a natural ocean phenomenon. It is extremely rare, because
it doesn’t occur very often. But sometimes, the sea churns out thick brown
foam that resembles cappuccino froth. As cappuccino was brought to its shores
by the strongest storm.

excretion, fish remains, and dead ocean plants. This thick foam appears when
salt water interacts with the decomposition products of underwater living
creatures. Strong currents mix all of these impurities, they all are shaken
and stirred together, eventually creating bubbles and foam that are carried
