1 front page: "Front page" is the right answer. The "front page" of a newspaper is where the most important (or most shocking) stories appear, in order to attract readers' attention. Here's another example: "When Freddie ate my hamster, he appeared on the front page of all the tabloid papers".
2 bold: "Bold" is the term we were looking for. Bold text looks like this. It is used to highlight or draw attention to important information. Example: "If you want people to read this important information, you should put it in bold!".
3 capital: "Capital letters" look like this: A, J, S, A, G, D. In English, proper nouns such as "London", "Smith", and "French" all begin with capital letters. Note that we can also say "uppercase letters".
4 headlines: "Headlines" is the term we were looking for. The "headlines" are the titles of articles, which appear in bold text at the top of each story. Examples: "President Brush Resigns!", "1000s Die in Cyclone!".
