16 Charles Chaplin
One day a small boy called Charles Chaplin was walking along the street in
London. It was a cold winter's day in 1900. He wanted to buy some bread, but
he didn't have any money. His father had died when he was very young. He and
his brother, Sid, had to work to help their sick mother.
Although Charles was small, his dream was very big. He wanted to be a great
man in the world of films, so he worked very hard to become a good dancer and singer.
Thirty years later, this same boy was among the most famous people in
the world.
Even if you do not understand English, you can enjoy his films, because no
words are used in his films.

17 A Seaside Picnic
One morning last April, Joan was lying in bed when the telephone rang. It was
her friend, Dave, who invited her out for a picnic at the seaside. Later that day she left her flat and walked to the bus stop to catch the bus. Joan was wearing a T-shirt and skirt as it was quite hot. As she sat on the bus she looked out of the window. The sun was shining. She saw a plane going
over a forest and some horses in the fields.
Before long she arrived at the seaside and met Dave. They went down to the

Dave painted a picture. They had a lovely day.
