Lights! Camera! Action!

Which country has the largest film industry in the world? If you think it’s the USA, you're wrong. The answer is, in fact, India. Nearly 3,000 films were produced in India in 2009, around 1,300 of were full-length feature films.

The most popular films are action, comedy and romantic musicals. The musicals are productions full of colourful costumes and scenery with huge casts, including many dancers and singers. lmagine, one Indian film had seventy-one songs in it! That's a lot of to remember!

Film critics say that most of these films tend to be predictable they have very similar situations. However, it that the public doesn’t mind at all. In fact, millions of people both in India and the rest of the world are huge fans and can't wait for new films to be released.

Indian cinema is often referred to as ‘Bollywood’, but it turns out that the term is only correct for Hindi-language films; there are many other languages spoken in India. The name ‘Bollywood’ is a combination of Bombay (the city now called Mumbai) and Hollywood, but Bollywood isn’t a real place. So if you're ever in India, don’t try it!

(Adapted from Close-up B1 Workbook)

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Imagine walking out of your house and instantly being covered from head to toe in bright pink and yellow powder. Every spring, millions of people across India experience exactly this during Holi, the famous Festival of Colors. Usually taking place in March, this vibrant event completely changes ordinary streets into lively playgrounds, marking the end of dark winter and the welcome arrival of spring.

However, the celebration actually begins before the colorful water battles start. On the night before Holi, local communities gather around large wooden bonfires. This ancient ritual is performed to destroy evil spirits and celebrate the victory of good over evil. Families and friends sing traditional songs together and share special homemade foods, such as sweet fried dumplings.

The next morning, the real fun begins as people take to the streets. Excited participants throw brightly colored powder and splash cold water at anyone they see, creating a beautiful and messy scene. Beyond just having fun, this activity carries a powerful social message. Because everyone is completely covered in the exact same colors, normal social boundaries temporarily disappear. Rich or poor, young or old, everyone looks the same and plays together as equals.

Today, this joyful tradition has become incredibly popular outside of Asia. Many western countries now host similar "color runs" and outdoor music festivals that borrow this exciting concept, attracting thousands of young people. Although the original religious meaning is sometimes lost abroad, the central purpose remains the same. Ultimately, Holi is a special time to forget past arguments and celebrate human connection together.

What is the writer doing in paragraph 1?

  • Giving readers a mental picture of what it feels like to be part of the festival.
  • Explaining why the festival must take place at a specific time of the year.
  • Warning visitors about the sudden mess they might encounter on the streets.

Why does the writer mention the activities on the night before Holi?

  • To emphasize that communities must burn wood to stay warm at the end of winter.
  • To highlight the importance of preparing special food for the upcoming water battles.
  • To show that the celebration involves deeper spiritual meaning before the physical games begin.

According to paragraph 3, the most important outcome of everyone being covered in colours is that it _____.

  • hides the usual differences in people's backgrounds and social status

  • forces people from different classes to follow the same rules of the game

  • allows individuals to express their unique personalities to strangers

What point is made about the Holi-inspired events in Western countries?

  • They have completely replaced the traditional outdoor music festivals there.
  • They successfully keep the core spirit of bringing people together.
  • They are primarily organized to help young people resolve their arguments.

What is the writer’s main message about Holi in this text?

  • It is an ancient tradition that has slowly lost its true meaning over time.
  • It is a vibrant cultural event that promotes unity and equality among people.
  • It is a religious ritual that has become a highly profitable trend in the West.
