Adieu, Cinema! (A)
In 1957, as many as 900,000,000 people went to the cinema, whereas the number of TV viewers was 400,000,000. Three years later, 500,000,000 cinema-goers vs 500,000,000 TV viewers the same. In 1963, the cinema fell, compared with TV. In 1974, only 70,000,000 went to the cinema, but as many as 800,000,000 peoplewatched TV.
Although the cinema has its own unreplacable merits, the television can do most of the things the cinema does, and more importantly, people can stay at home with their famfiy, watching what belongs to both TV and the cinema. In rainy days no one wfil think of the cinema except for some special reasons.
people like TV better for another reason. They can choose anything they like, just by switching from one channel to another. But in the cinema, you have no choice, if you dont want to come again for something different. Sample for band 6
Adieu, Cinema! (B)
The cinema used to be the most popular recreation in the first half of the 20th century, till 1957, when the television began to show films and plays. If people didnt have to go out to see films or plays, why didnt they stay at home? Thats why the cinema declined rapidly as TV became more popular. In 1957, as many as 900,000,000 people went to the cinema, while there were only 400,000,000 people who watched TV. Three years later, only 500,000,000 liked the cinema, while 500,000,000 people watched TV. In 1963, about 300,000,000 cinema-goers to 650,000,000 TV viewers. In the next six years the number of cinemagoers dropped further, while the number of TV viewers continued to rise. In 1974, only 70,000,000 went to the cinema. As many as 800,000,000 people switched to TV.
Nothing can hope to enjoy eternal popularity. Not the cinema. Not TV. Now, in the last years of the 20th century people liked the computer. Nearly everything is available on the Internet, including all for TV. What will happen to the computer, say, in the 2050s, no one knows. Will TV lose out to computer, I wonder?
再见，电影！
在1957，多达900000000人去电影院，而电视观众的人数是400000000。三年后，500000000观众和500000000电视观众一样。在1963，电影下跌，与电视相比。1974，只有70000000的人去看电影，但多达800000000人观看了电视。
虽然电影院有其自身不可替代的优点，电视可以做大部分的电影院的事情，更重要的是，人们可以呆在家里与他们famfiy，看什么是电视和电影。在雨天没有人wfil想到电影除了一些特殊的原因。
人们喜欢看电视的另一个原因。他们可以选择任何他们喜欢的东西，只是通过从一个渠道切换到另一个。但在电影院里，你别无选择，如果你不想再为不同的事情而来。波段6样本
再见，电影！
在第二十世纪上半的前半个世纪中，电影院曾经是最受欢迎的娱乐，直到1957岁，电视开始放映电影和戏剧。如果人们不需要出去看电影或戏剧，他们为什么不留在家里？这就是为什么随着电视变得越来越流行，电影院迅速衰落的原因。在1957，多达900000000人去电影院，而只有400000000人谁看电视。三年后，只有500000000的人喜欢看电影，而500000000人看了电视。1963，约300000000观众650000000电视观众。在未来六年的cinemagoers数量进一步下降，而电视观众人数持续上升。在1974，只有70000000去了电影院。多达800000000人换了电视。
没有什么能希望享受永恒的欢迎。不是电影院。不是电视。现在，在过去的第二十个世纪里，人们喜欢电脑。几乎所有的东西都在互联网上，包括所有的电视。会发生什么计算机，说，在2050年，没有人知道。电视输了电脑，我想知道吗？
