The Chinese first made paper about 2,000 years ago.China still has pieces of paper which were made as long ago as that.But Chinese paper was not made from the wood of trees.It was made from the hair-like parts of certain plants.

Many people enjoy watching movies in a cinema. They think the cinema has a better atmosphere(气氛) to enjoy the movie. However, I think people are happier and freer when watching movies at home.

Watching movies at home is more comfortable. To watch movies in a cinema, you have to buy the ticket before you go there for a better seat. However, there is no need for people at home to worry about the ticket. They can enjoy movies at any time they like and with the most comfortable seat.

It is free to watch movies at home. In the cinema, we cannot go outside and do something else because the movie won't wait for us. Sometimes, if we miss part of the movie, we cannot follow the story. At home, we can pause(暂时) at any time and go back to watch the part.
