Task 2
Read pauragraph 1
by James Hope (Arts journalist)
Reading a book and watching a film are two very different experiences,but it's normal to have high expectations when a film of a favourite book is made. There are many times I have been pessimistic or even disappointed by a film of a book Ilove.Although highly regarded books do not always make good
films,it is safe to say that great films may be made from not particulary good books.(The Godfatherimmediately springs to mind.)

The Source
Materials
1.A typical film is only around two hours long.
2.Screenwriters take creative liberty and sometimes there may be
changes to the plot.
Why do many adaptions fail both cinema
audiences and critics
4. Authors find it hard to adapt their work to a new form or aren't satisfied with the film versions of their work.
What are the main challenges for film-makers
1.How close to the original the film is.
Task5 What is the author's opinion at the end about adapted
films Highlight the evidence in the article.
Possible answer:
The author is negative about it,because he says that“it
is always a bad idea to watch a film of a book you love” .
One may think that it is the book writer who is
in the best position to do film adaptations.In fact,sometimes authors are very involved in the process and may even be the screenwriter.This can actually be a disadvantage because they may be too close to the material and find it difficult to adapt to a new form.At other times they are not,and there are instances where writers have been very unsatisfied with the film versions of their work;Stephen King is an example of this.Even more extreme was novelistJ.D.Salinger,who
made sure no film versions of his popular novel A Catcher in the Rye could ever be made.In this situation,it is clear that viewers will not be disappointed!For
me,anyway,it is always a bad idea to watch a film of a book you love.—
Doyou agree with the author's point ofview
Why or why not
A.To argue that good books should be adapted to films.
B.To persuade the audience to accept
the adaptations from books to films.
To explain the reasons why many
adaptations from books to films failed.
D. To inform that adaptations should be
based on variou O kinds of books.
