Read the following passage and answer the questions (2pts) CARTOON FILMS Cartoon films have very few limits. If you can draw something, you can make it move on the cinema screen. The use of new ideas and advanced computer programs means that cartoons are becoming exciting again for people of all ages. By the end of the 1970s, the cinema world had decided that cartoons were only for children. But soon afterwards (sau đó), one or two directors (giám đốc) had some original new ideas. They proved (chứng minh) that it was possible to make films in which both adults (người lớn) and children could share the fun. However, not every cartoon film was successful. The Black Cauldron, for example, failed, mainly because it was too frightening for children and too childish (trẻ con) for adults. Directors learnt from this mistake, and the film companies began to make large amounts of money again. 1.

When she started teaching the violin in 1972, her first class consisted of her children’s five – year –old school friends. Margaret’s pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each lesson lasts an hour, once a fortnight (2 tuần 1 lần). In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with her. Parents also have to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons. Magaret says that her method is not supposed to produce great violinists, and always suggests that pupils who perform particularly well should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods. 1.
