Текст аудирования:
It’s hard to find a person who hasn’t heard the name of Charles Chaplin, the famous comedian and film director. He was one of the first film-makers to achieve success and to become a real superstar.
Charles Spencer Chaplin was born in London on April 16, 1889. His mother was a singer in a London music hall, and young Charlie spent a lot of time with actors and singers. He first appeared on the stage at the age of 5. It so happened that one evening during the performance his mother had problems with her voice and couldn’t sing. To continue the show, they told the little boy to take her place. He bravely walked onto the stage and began singing imitating his mother. The audience loved the funny little boy and he loved acting for it.
Charlie’s young years were not easy. He had to work hard in music halls to make his living. Once he decided to try and find happiness in the New World. At that time the art of film-making was rapidly developing in the United States. Chaplin began working for one of the first film studios as an actor but soon was already directing his own short silent comedies. Many of them have become classics, for example, “The Kid” and “The Circus”.
At that time the era of silent films was practically over, but Chaplin continued making silent films long after that.
When he began producing his longer films, his popularity with cinema-goers was great, their hearts belonged to him and his films which were a bit sentimental but at the same time funny and very kind. In his films he also told the truth about very real problems of his time. Some of the most popular are “City Lights” and “Modern Times”.
Chaplin was an unusually talented man. He produced films, directed them, acted in them and also wrote music to some of them. He lived a long and fruitful life and still is one of the greatest legends of cinematography.
