The death of the cinema?

In the first half of the twentieth century, going to the cinema was the most popular form of entertainment.
In the 1940s thirty million people in Britain went to the cinema regularly. It wasn’t expensive. Ordinary working
people could afford it and it was a treat for children. It was also the place to see the news. Hundreds of cinemas
opened up all over Britain.

In the second half of the century, different forms of entertainment became popular. By the 1960s more and
more homes had televisions, and cinemas started to close. In the 1980s people watched videos. Then came
satellite TV, the Internet and computer games. By the end of the twentieth century, fewer and fewer people
went to the cinema.
However, in the twenty-first century, cinemas are fighting back! New technology like 3D means that cinemas
can offer something most people can’t get at home. In 2007 the number of people going to the cinema started
to go up again. When the 3D film Avatar came out in 2009, it broke records – millions of people went to see it at
the cinema.

Cinema venues have also changed in the last few years. Now there are huge multiplex cinemas showing ten
different movies, there are drive-in cinemas and open-air screens in parks. Over 100 years after the first movie
theatres in America opened, the cinema is still evolving.

There is something special about seeing a film in the cinema. It is true that you can watch a film on the bus on
your smartphone, on a screen that is smaller than your hand. But the cinema experience, with friends, popcorn
and ice cream is a tradition we have learned to love. It seems the cinema will be around a while longer.

1 In the beginning of the 20th century it was cheap to go to the cinema. _____
2 In the second half of the 20th century more and more people come to the cinema. _____
3 Only some people watched 3D films at the cinema. _____
4 There are different kinds of the cinema people are offered. _____
5 People still like watching films at the cinema. _____
