David Nelson is a plumber and has a lot of work,
so he usually gets up at 6.30 am. His wife, Kelly,
helps him out by keeping his diary and answering
emails, phone calls and messages. He does repairs
in his neighbourhood from 8 am to 4 pm. In the
evenings, he is a volunteer firefighter and, of
course, doesn’t get a salary for his work. He just
does it because he likes helping people. He always
goes back home late and doesn’t have much time
to hang around with friends.
David and Kelly have got three children and their
youngest son, Peter, is also a firefighter. He studies
engineering in the morning but he is also a famous
YouTuber. He makes good money with this job.
Right now the fire brigade needs some important
equipment, so the Nelsons are going to organize a
rock and pop concert next month to collect some
money. Peter is going to invite his friends to play
their music and Mrs Nelson is going to make cakes
and sandwiches to sell at the music event. With
the money they get they are probably going to
buy new helmets and flame retardant jackets.

Some facts about the
film industry
Are you a cinema fan? Do you prefer to watch a film
on Netflix rather than go to the cinema? What was
the first film you saw?
The history of the film industry started in 1839
when the first photo camera was invented. But it
was not until 1872 that Edward Muybridge, one
of the many people experimenting with cameras,
could photograph live action spontaneously and
simultaneously. He used 24 cameras to film a
running horse in California. Then people in America
and Europe invented new cameras but the first films
were silent and black and white. There was usually
a band playing while the people were watching
a film and sometimes there were special sound
effects too. However, those films didn’t tell stories.
They were short documentaries about ordinary and
daily events, such as people travelling by train or
going out of a factory. But Georges Méliès, a French
magician interested in cinema, was the first director
to make a film with a story: A Trip to the Moon.
Méliès’s ideas were copied and perfected in America,
where the cinema became an industry. The first
commercial exhibition of a film was in 1894. Then
people travelled in vans showing a film in different
villages and the first successful permanent theatre
showing only films was the Nickelodeon, which
opened in the city of Pittsburgh in 1905. Eventually,
more Nickelodeons opened and pictures became
longer. Filmmakers added sound to them and,
later on, even colour. Today, most of us can enjoy
watching films not only in cinemas but also on our
smartphones, tablets, notebooks and TVs.
