Stephen King is one of the most successful writers in the world. In 1975, he published a book called Carrie. Carrie is about a young girl who goes to a dance school where her school friends are unfriendly to her. She decides to hurt them and they die in frightening ways. When Carrie was published, it did not have the name of the writer or even the word “Carrie” on the book. It had only a few words about the story. At that time, no one knew about Stephen King, so his name meant nothing. Three years later, Carrie was made into a movie and was a great success. Since that first success, many of King’s books have been made into movies, including Christine, which is about a car that comes to life, The Shining, and Stand by Me. Stephen King writes horror stories and stories about the supernatural. He usually writes about ordinary people, in ordinary places. Perhaps this is the reason for his success---his readers think what happens to the people in his books could happen to them.

Stephen King’s books have sold over a hundred million copies. He is one of the richest men in America and one of the richest writers in the world .Many people think that writing should be difficult and should take a long time. They think a writer should write slowly and with difficulty. He has written over 30 books in 15 years. He says he will continue to write best-sellers for years to come.

1. What is the first movie of Stephen King?__________________________________________

2. When did the movie Carrie come out?____________________________________________

3. What kind of story does Stephen King write?____________________________________
