Text 1: Charles Dickens
(1812-;1870)
Charles Dickens is one of the sts
in
the English language. He
wrote about
the reil *oild of and and many of his characters
were not rich, middle-class ladies and
gentlemen,
but
poor
and hungry
people.
Dickens the child
His family
lived in
London.
His
father
was
a clerk
in
an offrce.
It
was a
good
job,
but he always
spent
more money than he earned and he was often in debt.
There were eight children in the family, so life was hard.
Charles went to school and his teachers thought he was very clever. But sud-
denly, when
he
was only
eleven, his father went to
prison
for his debs and the
family'went, too.
Only
Charles didn't
go
to
prison.
He went to work in a fac-
tory, where he washed bottles. He worked ten hours
a
day and earned six shil-
lings
(30p)
a week. Every night,
after work,
he walked four miles back
to
his
room.
Charles
hated it and never forgot the experience. He used it in many
novels,
especially
David
CopperJield
and Oliver Twist.
Dickens the
writer
When
he was sixteen, he started work for a newspaper. He visited law courts
and the Houses of Parliament. Soon he was one of the Morning Chronicle's
best
journalists.
He
also
wrote
short stories
for magazines. These were
funny
descriptions of
people
that he met. Dickens' characters were full of colour
and lile -
good p"opt"
were very, very
good
and bad
people
