READING COMPREHENSION

Read the following extract. Then write Dickens, Oliver twist or Scrooge at the beginning of each sentence.


Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812 in Portsmouth, England.
When he was twelve years old, his father was sent to prison, and the young Dickens
went to work in a factory in London. This experience was very important when he
started writing his stories, and sometimes his books are almost autobiographical*.
Two of his most famous novels are Oliver Twist (1837) and A Christmas Carol
(1843). In Oliver Twist, the main character – Oliver – is born in a workhouse.
Workhouses were places where very poor people lived and were made to work.
Children were often beaten and didn’t have enough food to eat. In Oliver Twist
there is a very famous part where the young Oliver asks for more food.
“Please, sir, I want some more,” he whispered.
“What did you say?” the master said in surprise.
“Please, sir, I want some more,” Oliver repeated.
When the novel was published, many people started to think about the
conditions in the workhouses and tried to make things better. Many of Dickens’
novels looked closely at the lives of poor people, and Dickens was very good at
making his characters seem like real people.
A Christmas Carol is also about how badly poor people were treated. The central
character is Ebenezer Scrooge, an old man who hates spending money. He also
hates it when people are happy.
“I am sure you want people to have a merry Christmas. How much
money will you give me?”
“None. None at all,” said Scrooge. “I don’t have a merry Christmas. I
don’t believe in Christmas. I’m not giving money to anyone else so they
can have a merry Christmas.”
The character is so famous that the word Scrooge is used to describe someone
who doesn’t like spending money.
Many other Dickens’ characters are memorable, and often these characters were
based on people that he knew. For example, his father was the inspiration for
Mr. Micawber in David Copperfield, and Mrs. Nickleby in Nicholas Nickleby was
based on his mother.
Charles Dickens died at the age of 58 on June 9, 1870. During his life he wrote
nineteen novels and many short stories and articles. He is one of the greatest
English writers ever.


Write Dickens, Oliver Twist, or Scrooge at the beginning of each sentence. For example:

Example: Oliver Twist - asked for more food.

Now you.
