T: Very good. Now I want to introduce an American director to you. Listen to me carefully and guess who he is? He is one of the top directors in the world. He is also a producer. He won 2 Oscar Awards for Best Director. Some of his films are very familiar to us, such as: Jurassic Park, E.T., Saving Private Ryan. And he found the Dream Work SKG. Who is he?

Ss: He is “Steven Spielberg”.

T: Very good. Do you like him? Now let’s learn something more about him. Please open your books and turn to page 31: “Getting to know Steven Spielberg”.
