Presentation
Jenny, Brian and Danny are outside the library. They have just finished doing some research.
Danny:It’s hard to believe movies are just over 100 years old.
Jenny:Yes. But like the Internet or other similar technologies, movies have
had such a big effect on us.
Brian:I love watching movies. A movie is really an amazing piece of
art and technology. I just found out the very first movies were made in
France and Germany.
Jenny:That’s true. When movies were first created, they were not in
colour. They were just moving pictures. Do you know that for those
first movies, only a couple of people would act in front of the
camera?
Danny:Wow, that’s interesting! Movie making is so complex these
days. Thousands of people can be involved in making a movie. And
some movies, like Titanic, can take years to make and cost a lot
of money.
Jenny:Do you like Titanic, Danny?
Danny:No. I like action movies. I love Bruce Lee and kung fu movies. I hope to
learn kung fu someday.
Jenny:I prefer science fiction. I learn a lot of interesting things from science
fiction movies. What about you, Brian?
Brian:I like comedies. I especially like Charlie Chaplin’s movies. He was a
great actor. Comedies make people laugh and feel happy. I also like cartoons .
Danny:Watching a great movie while eating popcorn is a
wonderful thing. I haven’t watched a movie for a
long time. I hear Kung Fu Dinosaur Ⅲ is on.
Why not go and see it this weekend?
