Read the passage, and then do the tasks that follow
The history of what we call cinema today began in the early 19th century. At that time, scientists discovered that when a sequence of still pictures were set in motion, they could give the feeling of movement. In the first two decades of its existence, the cinema developed rapidly. In those early day, films were little more than moving photographs, usually about one minute in length. By 1905, however, films were about five or ten minutes long.

From that time, film makers were prepared to make longer and better films and build special places where only films were shown. The cinema change completely at the end of 1920s. This was when sound was introduced. The change began in America and soon spread to the rest of the world. As the old silent films were being replaced by spoken ones on the screen, a new cinema form appeared, the musical cinema.
