Charles Dickens is one of the most famous writers of the 19th Century, and his books are still loved by people all over the world. Some of his most famous works include A Christmas Carol , Great Expectations , and Oliver Twist . Many of Dickens’s books were funny and entertaining, but they were also very important works that talked about problems that affected a lot of people at the time. A lot of his work was inspired by his own life growing up in England. Charles Dickens’s Childhood Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in a city called Portsmouth, in England. After growing up in Portsmouth his family moved to London in 1822, when Dickens was ten years old. His family often struggled financially, and his father ended up in a lot of trouble for not paying back the money he’d borrowed. Because of this, his father ended up in a place called a ‘debtors prison’. In order to loo
Robert Louis Stevenson's Poetry
My Shadow I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see. He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head; And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed. The funniest things about him is the way he likes to grow- Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow; For he sometimes shoots up taller like an India rubber ball, And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.

https://youtu.be/1edPxKqiptw A poem about exceptions in English Dutch writer and traveler Gerard Nolst Trenité wrote a poem about exceptions in English. Imagine, he scored more than 800 of them! Guess what the poem is called? "Chaos"!!! Well, wouldn't you like to "call" English pronunciation or spelling like that at least once in your life? This is impossible to endure! Few of us have reached the end, and those who have reached it have silently left to drink coffee. And now imagine this: he not only picked up, but also rhymed all the inconsistencies and annoying misunderstandings in spelling and pronunciation in English. It turned out 247 lines of indignation. And this despite the fact that, we repeat, he is not a native English speaker! If you "endure" to the end of this poem, then you can consider yourself just a pro. Although, probably, the author himself would not have endured it. Let's listen to the poem first, and then read it The Chaos (192
