They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a normal development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming independent, of teenagers trying to to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them.

Even prehistoric artists showed animals running in theier cave pictures. Near the end of the 19th century several Europeans and Americans tried to make movies. No one knows who made the first one. New York City had the first movie theatre in 1894. People put money in a small machine and looked into it at the movie. By 1900, movies were popular all over Europe and the United States. They were not very good, but people liked them because they were new and different. Every year people invented ways to make movies better. They invented machines to show the pictures on a screen. Then everyone could see the motion pictures on the front wall of a theatre

instead of inside a small machine. In 1927, inventors add sound to movies. Then they added color. Today it costs several million dollars to make a movie. However, movie makers collect million dollars from people at movie theatres because everyone loves movies. te T if the sentence is true, and F if it is false. a.
