Exercice 4 : compréhension, Charlie Chaplin

Lis le texte et réponds aux questions en anglais.

Charlie Chaplin was born in London in 1889. He grew up in a very poor family. As a young man, he went to the United States and became a star of silent films. His most famous character is “the Tramp”, a poor man with a bowler hat, a cane and big shoes. His films are full of gags, but they also carry a message. In Modern Times (1936), the Tramp works in a factory and gets stuck in the machines: Chaplin criticises the way workers are treated. In The Great Dictator (1940), he makes fun of Hitler. Chaplin makes people laugh, but he also makes them think.
