Julia: Mariana, you know what I’m thinking?
Mariana: No, what?
Julia: Where did the cinema come from?(1)
Mariana: Oh, look. The cinema was invented(2) in 1895 by two brothers: Louis and Auguste Lumiere. They were from France. At that time(3), the cinema was only another form(4) of registering, like(5) photography. After them, came George Melieu, another French man(6). He was the father of the cinema, because he was the first one(7) tolook at(8) the film as a new form of art
Julia: So, the cinema was invented in France. I thought the United States were the ones who(9) invented it.
Mariana: No, the first american movie was made in 1915
Julia: Mariana, were you the teacher’s pet(10) in your school?
Mariana: No, I was not. Why did you say that?
Julia: Because everything I ask you know the answer(11). What about Brazilian cinema? When did it start?
Mariana: I guess(12) it started in 1910. In the 60′s we had our golden time(13). And in the 90′s, Brazilian cinemawas born again(14)
Julia: So, what are you? A movie specialist?
Mariana: No, not even close(15). Just a big fan. Movies can be a source(16) of information. There are a lot of(17)Brazilian movies that tell important facts about our culture, our history. We can see some of them whenever(18) you want
Julia: OK. We can do a movie session in my house this weekend
Mariana: Or in Luca’s house. He has a DVD now!
Julia: That’s right(19). I forgot(20). What a coincidence!(21) The boys are here to watch(22) a movie too.
Mariana: Oh, that’s a big coincidence
