It was Peter's second day in New York. He bought a cinema magazine and found the following article:
A Famous Film Director
In 1994 he won the most important film prize, the Oscar for "Schindler's List". He is one of the most successful film directors. His name is Steven Spielberg. You certainly know at least two other films he made, "E.T." and "Jurassic Park".
How did he become such a famous person? Well, he has always been interested in films. When he was a little boy, his father showed him how to use a camera. Later - he was twelve - he got his own camera and started to film things like model train crashes, stories about monsters and horrible murders. His three younger sisters always played the victims. Making films was his great hobby - much more fascinating for him than school. It was still his hobby when he was an adult. Since then he has spent a lot of time and more and more money on the production of his own films. The secret of Spielberg's success is that the stories in many of his films somehow look as if they could happen to ordinary people like you and me.
