Here is an extract from the article Our Titanic Love Affair published in Newsweek from February 23, 1998. James Cameron is a director of the film Titanic which became very popular all over the world.
Why is James Cameron a little bit mystified (озадачен)? (reading for specific information)
Even James Cameron was as he says “a little bit mystified” by the passionate reaction to his movie. Like all megahits, the movie has become a kind of religion. And as with all religion, you don’t worship (молиться) at the altar just once. Normally, films draw (притягивать) a 2 per cent repeat audience; Titanic is drawing 20 per cent. Consider these highly unusual statistics: 45 per cent of all the women under 25 who have seen the movie have seen it twice. And 76 per cent of all people who have seen the movie at least twice plan to see it again. What’s particularly surprised the studios is that 37 per cent of the audience is older than 25, a larger percentage of adults than was expected.
- This diagram shows how many men and women saw the film. Draw such diagrams to show the age of audience and the percentage of repeat audience. (reading for detail)
