stored on computer systems worldwide is in English Twothirds of the world's science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports,

in 1927 But sound films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings From the earliest public performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called 'synchronized sound’- began soon after the very first films were shown With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed projector changed This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence In the 'sound-on-film' system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read by an optical sensor These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing synchronization Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922 This system eventually brought us 'talking pictures' 81 The passage is mainly about the A history of silent movies B disadvantages of synchronized sound C development of sound with movies D research into sound reproduction https://TaiLieuOnThi.Net Tài Liệu Ôn Thi Group 82 According to the passage, films using sound effects were screened A before 1896 B as early as
