拉迪亚德 吉卜林(Rudyard Kipling,1865 — 1936),英国小说家、诗人,1907年获得诺贝尔文学奖,是英国第一位获此奖的作家。电影《奇幻森林》改编自他的同名短篇故事集,讲述了在丛林中长大的男孩毛克利的故事。在故事中,动物是他的朋友,还教会他如何成长。吉卜林一生共创作了八部诗集、四部长篇小说、二十一部短篇小说集和历史故事集,以及大量散文、随笔、游记等。他的作品简洁凝练,充满异国情调,尤其在短篇小说方面,是无与伦比的。马克·吐温曾盛赞吉卜林的作品,“我了解吉卜林的书……它们对于我从来不会变得苍白,它们保持着缤纷的色彩;它们永远是新鲜的。”

Below is an introduction Laura gave to her class about The Jungle Book. Pay attention to the underlined subjects and verbs and fill in the table below. The first two have been done for you.
Everyone was surprised when Disney said its film team members were remaking The Jungle Book. Based on Rudyard Kipling's book of the same title, it describes the story of a boy named Mowgli. Mowgli and his animal friends live happily in the jungle until one day Shere Khan the tiger returns and tries to drive him out of the jungle. In 1967, Disney adapted the book into a cartoon film, which is widely regarded as a classic.

However, its old age shows. The new film uses much more advanced technology — not only the animals but also the jungle is digitally created. Building the jungle environment on the computer was no easy job. It took more than 800 artists over a year to work on the project. The Jungle Book lasts for about two hours but there is enough tension and humour to hold your attention during the whole film. Two hours seems very short when you're having so much fun!

Write a short paragraph about 3-D films. Use the following information to help you. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement.
3-D films History Were first made in 1915
Advantage Make things look like they are coming out of the screen
Disadvantages Sometimes cause headaches and sickness for viewers
Need a special cinema and 3-D glasses
Examples Avatar, Life of Pi, Titanic (changed to a 3-D film after filming)

Grammar and usage
Applying rules
Sample
I think everyone has probably seen a 3-D film, but did you know that 3-D films were first made more than one hundred years ago, in 1915 To watch 3-D films requires a special cinema and 3-D glasses. 3-D effects can be really amazing, making things look like they are coming out of the screen, but sometimes they cause headaches and sickness for viewers. Many successful films, such as Avatar and Life of Pi, have been made in 3-D. Not only new films but also 2-D films like Titanic are now available in 3-D.
In my opinion, this technology is really exciting, and some films are
better to watch in 3-D than in 2-D. However, since it takes a lot of
work to create 3-D effects, not all films do a good job of it.
