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 in his first
year there he acted in 35 of Hollywood’s early films. These were “silent films”: the actors
couldn’t speak, but demonstrated their feelings in their faces and movements. Charlie Chaplin
became one of the most famous actors in the world, and everyone knew and loved the roles 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 make his own films. Later,
after sound arrived, he began to talk on the screen and he wrote the music for one of his last
films. Most people still like his films today.

Jackson Hole
Jackson Hole is a beautiful valley situated in the state of Wyoming, USA. The place got its name
from David Jackson, a traveler and a hunter, who once lived there. His friends called it Jackson
Hole because it really looked like a hole in the middle of the mountains.
Jackson Hole is a popular holiday place. In summer month, people go there to walk in the
mountains, ride horses, go finishing and boating on the rivers and lakes. Many visitors cross the
valley in boats on the Snake River. It turns from side to side, like a snake. The water in the river
moves very fast and you have to be brave to travel on it.
Jackson Hole still keeps its Old West traditions. There are shops with cowboy hats and boots and
cafes which look like saloons of the American West. Holidaymakers can ride horses or go to a
rodeo to see traditional competitions. The rodeo usually begins with a parade of cowboys and
horses. Then comes the competition. Riders try to stay on a wild animal for eight seconds. They
also ride wild horses and large bulls. The animals try to throw the cowboys to the ground. The
riders try not to fall off. Another thing that cowboys do is throwing a rope around a young cow`s
