- 4. Money talks 4.4 Readingand writing Unit4 1 Match the headings to the paragraphs. Work and war Money makes the world go around! From stage to screen Problems around the world a __________________________________________ Problems around the world. Cabaret is a famous film which is set in Berlin during the Great Depression in the 1930s, a period when there was poverty and financial difficulties all around the world. It was during this time that Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany, because he promised the people he could solve their problems. b __________________________________________ In the end, instead of helping the German people, his actions contributed to the beginning of the Second World War. One of the reasons for this was that he employed lots of people in the factories to build weapons. That meant that people in Germany had work, but other countries in Europe became afraid of what Hitler was going to do. They were right to be afraid. During the 1930s Hitler broke lots of promises and began to invade countries around Germany. c __________________________________________ The story of Cabaret was written by a man who had lived in Berlin during the 1920s. It takes place at the beginning of the 1930s, when Hitler’s Nazi party was becoming very strong. Before being made into a film, Cabaret was a novel and then a musical for the stage. It was written during the 1960s and was a great success. d __________________________________________ It was even more successful when it was turned into a film in the 1970s starring the famous actress and singer Liza Minelli. One of the most famous songs from the film — it is not in the original musical — is called Money, Money. This song tells us that money is the most important thing in the world for many people. Certainly, when people have not got money, it can cause many problems. 2 Write true (T) or false (F). a Cabaret is a film about a man from Berlin. _____ F b Adolf Hitler became the leader of Germany because he said he would help people. _____ c Hitler spent lots of money making military machinery and weapons. _____ d Hitler’s Nazi party was popular in the 1920s. _____ e Cabaret was a success first in the 1970s. _____ f The song Money, Money is from the original show. _____ 3 Write sentences using this information. a Cabaret / film / 1930s ___________________________________________________________________ Cabaret is a famous film, set in the 1930s b Hitler / promised / problems ______________________________________________________________ c countries / Europe / afraid / Hitler _________________________________________________________ d Cabaret / novel / musical / film ____________________________________________________________ e Money, Money / famous / important _______________________________________________________ 20 © Richmond Publishing, 2004 PHOTOCOPIABLE
