Charlie Chaplin, born in a poor family, showed an (astonish) talent as a performer as soon as he could walk. His father died when he was young, leaving his family even (badly) off. Later, he wrote, directed, produced and (star) in a series of funny movies. He grew popular for his charming character, the little tramp,was a homeless man with a moustache, large trousers, worn-out shoes, a small round black hat and a walking stick. This character was a social (fail) but could make people laugh even when they felt depressed, as they could feel more content their lives. He was loved for his optimism and determination to overcome all difficulties. Take The Gold Rush for example. Chaplin and his friend expect (find) gold but they have not been (fortune). Instead, they are caught in a small house, where they are hungry and have to eat boiled leather shoes. His subtle acting is so convincing you will believe it is one of the best meals he has ever had. No one was ever (bore) watching him make terrible situations funny. Charlie Chaplin was a great actor who could always inspire people with great confidence.
