Tim Burton is one of the most famous American film directors. His most popular films include: Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990), Batman Returns (1992)and Dumbo (2019). In 1990, he got a Daytime Emmy Award for his cartoon series Beetlejuice and in 1991 he got a Hugo Award for Edward Scissorhands.
Tim grew up watching horror films and cartoons. He read Edgar Allan Poe’s horror stories and he loved drawing. He also made short films in his back garden. After leaving school, Burton studied animation. Then, he got a job at Walt Disney Studios. He was a very good animator, but he didn’t draw in the Disney style. So he left Disney and started to make his own films.
One of his most successful films is Batman. At first, people were upset when Tim Burton chose the comedy actor Michael Keaton to play Batman. Batman is a superhero who is taller and stronger than ordinary men, and Michael Keaton was too short. At 1.75 m, he was in fact the shortest actor ever to play Batman. However, the film was very successful and everybody loved Michael Keaton as Batman.
One of Tim Burton’s most interesting characters is Edward Scissorhands. The idea for the character came from a drawing that Burton made in high school. Edward isn’t human and he has got scissors instead of hands. In the film, Johnny Depp plays Edward. However, his character in the film is not as scary as Tim Burton’s original drawing.
In one of his latest films, Dumbo, Dumbo the elephant has got bigger ears than the other elephants and they laugh at him. However, his big ears are an advantage. He can fly. This new film is more exciting than the old Disney film, but the CGI elephant is not as cute as the cartoon elephant in the 1941 film. There are some changes in the plot, but the new film is still as sad as the old one.
Tim Burton has directed many other films, including some of the best-loved children’s stories like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland. He still produces films today, and sometimes he shows some of his drawings and cartoons at exhibitions around the world.

59. When did Tim Burton get a Hugo Award for Edward Scissorhands
60. Why did Tim Burton leave Disney and start to make his own films
61. Where did Tim’s idea for the character Edward Scissorhands come from

Hello, everyone. Today I’d like to talk about the differences between Chinese students and English students.
In China, students are more outgoing. They study harder and have much more homework to do. In England, students are more serious and quieter. But they are better at sports and they like taking part in all kinds of parties. What’s more, Chinese students like eating more vegetables and fruit. English students like to have more meat.
As for hobbies, 30% of Chinese students like reading books. They watch TV four or five times a week. 70% of them go online on the weekend. However, 60% of English students play soccer every day. 40% of them like drawing. Most of the English students go to the cinema once a week.
Though they are different, they can talk about and share something they like.
