SPEAKING Work with a partner. What do you remember about your first visit to the cinema? (e.g. who you went with, what the film was, etc). 2. Read the extract from an autobiography. Which of the things that you remember are mentioned? I’m in my 60s now and used to love going to the cinema when I was a kid. Back in the 1950s, there used to be a thing called Children's Matinee at the cinema in the town where we lived. It was wonderful! Every Saturday morning, the cinema would show films for kids - only kids. They showed cartoons and cowboy films, adventure films, detective films and science fiction - everything that kids loved back then (and I guess they still do!). My brother used to take me - he was five years older than me. We'd always try to get there early so we could get seats in the front row, or at least, one or two rows back. The cinema sold ice cream and popcorn and we would buy as much as we could, and then sit and watch the films while stuffing ourselves with food. We loved the cartoons - we laughed a lot; our favourite was always Tom and Jerry and we cheered when we saw the opening pictures. And then there were the adventure films. The plots were often terrible, and the dialogues too, but we really didn't care - after all, we were kids! We used to boo the villains and cheer the heros. Some kids used to throw popcorn at the screen when the villain came on - the cinema staff sometimes tried to stop us but usually they gave up! The ending was always completely predictable of course - the hero always won, and we'd cheer like crazy when he did! WHAT A STORY！ 3. Read the extract again and answer the questions. 1 Who couldn't go to the Children's Matinees? 2 Who did the writer go with? 3 Why did they go early? 4 When did the children usually cheer? 5 When did they boo? Adults couldn't go. He went with his older brother. They went early so they could get seats near the front. They cheered when they saw the opening pictures andwhen the hero won. They booed when they saw the villain. Childhood memories WHAT A STORY！ Elements of a story 1.

There are always people who want you to become a lawyer, or work in banking, or be a teacher. Listen to them, but remember it's your life and it's your decision, so be sure that you're the one who makes that decision! TIPS FOR CHOOSING A CAREER A Choosing a career - something you're thinking of doing for the rest of your working life - isn't always easy but equally, it doesn't have to be the agony that some people make it. Here are our tips to help you make up your mind. Consider what you think you're good at. It's true that things like salary are important, but don't let financial considerations lead you down the wrong path. Follow your heart and your personality - if you're not very outgoing, don't go for a sales job, even if the pay's good. In the same way, if you don't like work that involves paying lots of attention to detail, think long and hard before you decide to do something like applying to study engineering at university. TIPS FOR CHOOSING A CAREER B Your first decision isn’t forever. Some lucky people get it right first time - they choose a job, find they love it and stick at it. But it isn't always like that, so remember - you're allowed to change your mind! Certainly, it’s no good agonising for years: maybe you've got three or four possible things you'd like to do, so come to a decision and try one - and if you don't like it, try another one. TIPS FOR CHOOSING A CAREER C Do something of value. Some people choose their career simply because they think they'll earn huge amounts of money (although the careers which pay the most also have millions of people who never make it to the top). OK, if that's what you want. But generally, people get more satisfaction out of their career if they feel they are doing something valuable for others. It doesn't have to be charity work - it could be a job that helps other people, like being a child-minder. Just don't forget that job satisfaction isn't only about money.
