1.1
Humphrey Bogart was a big movie star from long time ago.  He was born in New York City on December 25, 1899.  Bogart grew up in a family that liked art.  His dad was good at drawing, and his mom was good at making art for advertisements. 

Si Humphrey Bogart ay isang malaking movie star noong unang panahon. Ipinanganak siya sa New York City noong Disyembre 25, 1899. Lumaki si Bogart sa isang pamilyang mahilig sa sining. Magaling ang kanyang ama sa pagguhit, at magaling ang kanyang ina sa paggawa ng sining para sa mga advertisement.

1.2
When Bogart was young, he did not plan to be an actor.  He tried a lot of jobs, like working on ships and joining the U.S. Navy in a big war.  But he really loved acting, so he went to Hollywood to try it. 

Noong bata pa si Bogart, hindi niya plano na maging aktor. Sinubukan niya ang maraming trabaho, tulad ng pagtatrabaho sa mga barko at pagsali sa U.S. Navy sa isang malaking digmaan. Pero mahal na mahal niya ang pag-arte, kaya pumunta siya sa Hollywood para subukan ito.

1.3
Bogart became famous in the 1940s.  He acted in big movies like "Casablanca" and "The Maltese Falcon."  He played tough guys with a rough voice, but they were good guys at heart. 

Naging tanyag si Bogart noong 1940s. Siya ay umarte sa malalaking pelikula tulad ng "Casablanca" at "The Maltese Falcon". Ginampanan niya ang mga matitigas na lalaki na may magaspang na boses, ngunit mabubuti sila sa puso.

Mayroon siyang talagang cool na estilo. Madalas siyang may suot na espesyal na uri ng sumbrero na tinatawag na fedora at may sigarilyo sa kanyang bibig. Ang estilo na ito ay naging kanyang espesyal na hitsura. Gustong gayahin ng mga tao sa buong mundo ang kanyang estilo dahil mukha siyang sobrang cool at kumpiyansa.
