Lesson 2 – Step 1 – Reading

Goal

Let’s start the lesson with some reading. You can read it on your own or play the audio and follow along.

Once you have finished, you can go to the next step.

A Tragic Accident

¨If it bleeds, it leads ¨ – this phrase reflects how the most tragic news is given the most attention in the media (social networks, television, etc). 

One such example was the recent death of Halyna Hutchins, a cinematographer working on the set of Rust. The movie was directed by Joel Souza and was led by star actor Alec Baldwin. The news travelled fast. Halyna had been killed on set by a live bullet. The director was also injured. In an interview, Mr Baldwin said he was told the gun was safe to use. Investigators have described “some complacency” in how weapons were handled on the set. Cast, crew and extras were shocked by the incident. 

Will the movie ever be released? For now there´s no trailer, only the plot of the movie. Ironically, the plot of the movie was based on an accidental shooting…..
