Charles Dickens is much loved for his great contribution to classic English literature. He was the quintessential Victorian author. His epic stories, vivid characters and exhaustive depiction of contemporary life are unforgettable.


He was born in Portsmouth on 7 February 1812, to John and Elizabeth Dickens. The good fortune of being sent to school at the age of nine was short-lived because his father was imprisoned for bad debt. Charles was sent to work in Warren’s blacking factory and endured appalling conditions as well as loneliness and despair. After three years he was returned to school, but the experience was never forgotten and became fictionalised in two of his better-known novels ‘David Copperfield’ and ‘Great Expectations’.


Like many others, he began his literary career as a journalist. His own father became a reporter and Charles began with the journals ‘The Mirror of Parliament’ and ‘The True Sun’. Then, in 1833, he became parliamentary journalist for The Morning Chronicle. With new contacts in the press he was able to publish a series of sketches under the pseudonym ‘Boz’. In April 1836, he married Catherine Hogarth.

As well as a huge list of novels he published autobiography, edited weekly periodicals including ‘Household Words’ and ‘All Year Round’, wrote travel books and administered charitable organisations. He was also a theatre enthusiast, wrote plays and performed before Queen Victoria in 1851. He died of a stroke in 1870. He is buried at Westminster Abbey.


“Charles was sent to work in Warren’s blacking factory and endured appalling conditions as well as loneliness and despair.” What does the word “appalling” mean?

a)

Interesting

b)

Fascinating

c)

Horrifying

d)

Enthralling

Lazy Day


Last weekend I spent all day laying on my bed. It was just like the Lazy Song by Bruno Mars, “Today I don’t feel like doing anything”. But sometimes doing nothing was just something that we needed the most, especially after a long and exhausted week in the office.


It was Sunday and I woke up at 9 a.m in the morning. I looked around me and I saw a new comic book that I just bought yesterday laying next to my laptop. I tried to drag it closer to me by using my foot, and then I picked it with my hand. I unwrapped the comic and started reading it. When I just reached the middle of the story, I felt thirsty so I got up of my super comfortable bed and walked out the room. I walked down the stairs right to the kitchen.


I opened the fridge and I found a bottle full of chill orange juice. I opened the bottle and poured the orange juice into a glass. When I checked my fridge, I saw that I still had a leftover Pizza from yesterday, so I decided to reheat it in my microwave. So I sat in the kitchen for a while waiting the Pizza to be ready. When the timer of the microwave was off, I picked the Pizza up and put it on my plate. I took my orange juice and my Pizza and brought them back into my lair. I enjoyed the Pizza and the orange juice and continued to read my comic book. After that I decided to watch my favorite K-drama on my laptop, so I set my portable laptop desk on my bed. This way, I could watch my favourite show without having to leave my super cozy bed.


Which of the following statement is correct based on the text?

a)

The writer watched the movie in the living room

b)

The writer woke up at 9 p.m in the evening.

c)

The writer poured the mango juice into a glass.

d)

The writer picked the pizza up from the microwave.
