Reading

7 Read the text.

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens is one of England’s most

famous writers. He lived from 1812 to 1870

and he wrote fifteen major novels and lots

of short stories. There are over 180 TV and

film adaptations of his books. Some of his

most famous books are Oliver Twist , Great

Expectations and David Copperfield .

Dickens was born in Portsmouth in the south

of England, but the family moved to London

when he was ten years old. He had a difficult

childhood. His father spent a long time in prison

and Charles had to work in a factory from the

age of twelve. Later his family received money

from his father’s family and their life became

better. Charles studied law but he hated it and

became a journalist. This was when he started

writing his books.

Dickens’ books are wonderful pictures of life

in the big city of London at that time and are

full of amazing characters. These characters

are often very sad and very funny at the same

time. Dickens wrote about poor people a lot and

he wanted to show what life was like for them,

so his characters’ lives are not very happy. But

Dickens’ way of writing is very clever and funny

and the characters can make us laugh!
