Exercise 4
Sentence Completion

Complete the sentences below with appropriate words and/or data available in the
given list.

1. To sum up, the higher number of US films might be reflected in the higher number
of cinema admissions in 2001.

2. Nevertheless, other films were the lowest in the UK, at just under 5 %, while there
was approximately 18 % in Australia.

3. Moreover, the number of Australian and UK films in the UK (roughly 20 % and 10 %

successively) was higher than those in Australia (just short 5 %).

4. Turning to films screened, nearly 78 % of US films were shown in the UK, the
largest percentage, while 68 % was presented in Australia.

5. The output for the UK then reached a peak at about 180 – the highest figure shown
– while Australia grew to just below 100 in 2001. Finally, both dipped to just under
160 and 81 severally in 2005.

6. Nonetheless, the figure for the UK declined to approximately 60 while Australia

inclined to 40 in roughly 1982.

7. In 1975, the UK admissions were higher than those of Australia, at around 100 and
