I. Read the text and do the tasks

Charles Spencer Chaplin was born in 1889 in London. His father died when he was a child and the family didn’t have much money. Charlie first performed on the theatre stage at the age of five.

After he joined Frank Karno’s company, he went to the USA in 1914 and his first year there he acted in 35 of Hollywood’s early films. These were ‘silent films’, before the invention of cinema sound the actors couldn’t speak, but acted out their faces and movements. Charlie Chaplin became one of the most famous actors in the world, and everyone knew and loved the role he played: a man with a black hat, big shoes, a little moustache and unusual walk.

With other actors, Chaplin formed a film company and he started to direct his own films. Later, after sound arrived, he began to talk on screen and he wrote the music for one of his films, “Limelight”. Twenty-five years before his death in 1977, he moved away to live in Switzerland.
