For hundreds of years, one remote hill in the middle of England has hosted one of the weirdest
and most hazardous festivals in the world. It’s the Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling Festival. The
event is held every year at the end of May. Some people believe that the festival originated from
a tradition of rolling burning bundles ofsticks down the hill to celebrate the end of winter. Today,
the festival has grown into an international event, with over 15,000 participants and spectators
from all over the world joining each year.
The rules are simple. A large wheel of cheese is rolled down the hill, and participants chase after
it. The first runner to make it to the bottom of the hill is the winner. The winner of the race is
allowed to keep the cheese as a prize. Cooper’s Hill is only 200 meters long, but it is very steep.
As a result, racers do not run down the hill; instead, they usually fall down the hill head over
heels. This has led to a lot of accidents. For this reason, the event was officially canceled in
2010. Outraged fans have continued the event unofficially since then.

Movies, also known as films, have several genres, but they are made in a similar way.
Basically, a screenwriter writes a script, which is the story of the movie with words that the
actors and actresses will say. Actors, actresses and directors read scripts to find out what to say
and what to do. The actors and actresses memorise the words and learn the actions from the
script that they will say and do in the movie. The director tells the actors and actresses what to
do and a cameraman takes motion pictures of them.
When filming has finished, an editor puts the moving pictures together. Audio engineers
record music and singing and join it with the moving pictures. When the movie is done, many
copies of the movie are made and sent to cinemas. An electric machine called a projector shines
a very bright light through the movie, and people sitting in a dark room see it on a big screen.
After movies are shown on movie screens for a period of time, movies are shown on television
