Every family knew the names of the film stars Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Bergman and hundreds more. The reason why people went to Hollywood to make films was the sun. At first people made films in New York on the east coast of the United tates. But then they heard about Los Angeles where there are 350 days of sun every year. As they made all the films by sunlight, the west coast was a much better place to work. Also near Hollywood you can find mountains and sea and desert. They did not have to travel far to make any kind of film. When TV became popular, Hollywood started making films for television. Then in the 1970s they discovered people still went to cinema to see big expensive films. After twenty years they are still making films in Hollywood and people watch them all over the world.56.

Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier(障碍), communication is completed through sign language in which motions(情感) stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and the people unable to hear or speak have had to turn to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very lively and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or not. A wink(眨眼) can be a way of showing that the party is only joking. A nod means agreement, while shaking the head means disagreement.Other forms of nonlinguistic(非语言的) language can be found in Braille( a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide and warn people. While language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.61.
