READING Read this article and do tasks A and B FILM-MAKING A In the 1920s, new technology allowed filmmakers to attach to each film a soundtrack of speech, music and sound effects synchronized with the action on the screen. These sound films were initially distinguished by calling them talking pictures, or talkies. The next step in the development of cinema was the introduction of colour. While the addition of sound to film revolutionized the medium, quickly driving out silent movies, colour was adopted more gradually. B The public was relatively indifferent to colour photography as opposed to black-and-white. But as colour processes improved and became as affordable as black-and-white film, more and more movies were filmed in 28 colour after the end of World War II, as the industry in America came to view colour an essential to attracting audiences in its competition with television, which remained a black-and-white medium until the mid-60s. By the Page end of the 1960s, colour had become the norm for filmmakers. Junior 4 C Nowadays, the latest and major influence in film making is cybernetics, to the point that the use of computing in the creation of films has become essential. Special effects have been greatly improved. They include the creation of animated characters interacting with real ones played by actors or simply completely animated film which have improved the cartoon version of old Disney productions.

READING Read this article and do tasks A and B A The city of Detroit, in the USA, was once compared to Paris. It had a broad river, smart streets and historically important architecture. Then, in the 20th century, it became ‘Motor City’. For a time, most of the world’s cars were 33 made there. There was regular work and a good salary in the motor industry. A worker at one of the car factories could own a home, plus a boat, maybe even a holiday cottage. Some say America’s middle class was born in Detroit. Page Junior 4 B But in the early years of the 21st century, Detroit became America’s poorest big city. In less than five decades the once lively Motor City lost more than half its population. And this fell for several reasons, partly because people moved to the suburbs in the1950s. Then there were the violent protests in 1967, which scared more people away from the city. Then there was the dramatic fall in car manufacture, as companies like General Motors and Chrysler faced huge difficulties. And finally, in 2008, came the global financial crisis and the city got into debt. C Now that the city is free of debt again, it has money to do some of what needs to be done. It has replaced about 40,000 streetlights so that places feel safer. And about a hundred empty houses are demolished each week to make space for new buildings. Detroit is also attracting investors and young adventurers. It seems that every week a new business opens in Detroit – grocery stores, juice bars, coffee shops, even bicycle makers. Finally, the city is working again. Task A : Match the headings to the paragraphs 1 A city is reborn. 2 Economic crisis and population decline. 3 A prosperous industrial city. Task B Circle T for true and F for false. Correct the false statement/s on the blank line/s below. 4 Car companies had a lot of responsibility for the rise and fall of the city of Detroit.
