II. Read the passage and choose the best answer for the questions.
Movies, also known as films, have several genres, but they are made in a similar way. Basically, a 
screenwriter writes a script, which is the story of the movie with words that the actors and actresses 
will say. Actors, actresses and directors read scripts to find out what to say and what to do. The actors 
and actresses memorize the words and learn the actions from the script that they will say and do in the 
movie. The director tells the actors and actresses what to do and a cameraman takes motion pictures 
of them.
When filming has finished, an editor puts the moving pictures together. Audio engineers record music 
and singing and join it with the moving pictures. When the movie is done, many copies of the movie 
are made and sent to cinemas. An electric machine called a projector shines a very bright light through 
the movie, and people sitting in a dark room see it on a big screen. After movies are shown on movie 
screens for a period of time, movies are shown on television or on DVD so that people can watch the 
movies at home.
