(4to Medio) TEXT 3 "JOHN TRAVOLTA: THE ACTOR"
The pros and cons in John Travolta's movie career
John Travolta was born in 1954 in Eaglewood, New Jersey, US. He was the youngest of six children. He wanted to become an actor. In 1975, he played in a TV program called Welcome Back Kotter about a high school teacher and his students. The program was very popular and Travolta became famous. Then he started making movies and starred in several successful films. They included Saturday Night Fever and Grease. Audiences liked his acting and dancing.
The worst time
In 1977, things suddenly went wrong. His mother and his girlfriend died. Travolta said it was the worst time of his life. He made several unsuccessful films, and thought about giving up as an actor. He is a pilot and has three planes, so he considered becoming a full-time pilot.
Kelly Preston enters
But then, when he was working on a movie called The Experts in 1987, he met Kelly Preston. The film didn't do well, but John and Kelly fell in love. They got married and they now have a son. They named him Jett because Travolta loves jet planes. Before Jett was born, John and Kelly used to work or go out on weekends, but they prefer to stay home now. The only problem is deciding which home. They have four homes - in California, Florida, Maine, and Hawaii.
In the mid-nineties, John Travolta's luck as an actor changed for the better. He made some very popular films, including Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty, and Mad City. For the second time in his career, he became successful.
TASK: Read the text and write 5 sentences in PASSIVE VOICE using a sentence in active voice.
