Charles Dickens was born in 1812. He lived in the south of England when he was a little boy. His father worked in an office. He was a very clever man, but he was very poor. Charles had many brothers and sisters, but he did not often play with them. His father had many books and Charles liked to read them. He learned to read very early. When Charles was 10 years old, his family went to London. There his fathe got into debt (as he had little money) and then into debtor's prison. So little Charles began to work when he was ten. That was the beginning of Charles' hard life.Чарлз Диккенс родился в 1812 году. В детстве он жил на юге Англии. Его отец работал в конторе. Он был очень умным, но очень бедным человеком. У Чарлза было много братьев и сестер, но он редко с ними играл. У его отца была большая библиотека, и Чарлз любил читать. Читать он научился рано. Когда Чарлзу было десять лет, его семья переехала в Лондон. Там его отец залез в долги (поскольку у него было мало денег) и затем попал в долговую тюрьму. Поэтому маленький Чарлз начал работать в десять лет. Это было началом тяжелой жизни Чарлза.
He worked at a small factory in London, pasting labels on blacking bottles. He had to work in a dirty room with no windows. He did not like his work, but he had to work at the factory for two years.

Later he worked as a reporter to the Parliament and became a writer of short stories. In 1837 he published his first novel "The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club". And the young reporter became a famous writer. Then he published novel after novel - "Oliver Twist", "Dombey and Son", "David Copperfield" and many other good books.В Лондоне он работал на маленькой фабрике, где наклеи­вал этикетки на бутылочки с ваксой. Ему приходилось работать в грязной комнате, где не было окон. Работа ему не нравилась, но он проработал на фабрике два года. За­тем он три года учился в школе, однако там он немногому научился. Гораздо больше он узнал дома, от отца и других умных людей. Позже он работал репортером по вопросам деятель­ности парламента и начал писать рассказы. В 1837 г. он опубликовал свой первый роман "Посмерт­ные записки Пиквикского клуба". И после этого молодой репортер стал известным писателем. Затем он публико­вал романы один за другим - "Оливер Твист", "Домби и сын", "Дэвид Копперфилд" и многие другие книги.His books are very interesting, they teu us aoout the hard life of the poor people in England of that time.

1. I once ( knew) a village teacher who (was) partially blind. He (had been deprived) of one eye as the result of infection. His blind eye (had been taken) out, and a glass one ( inserted) in its socket instead. One day the teacher ( needed) to leave his class of small children alone for half an hour or so. But he (was held) back by one consideration. The children of the class (were) really unruly. He ( knew) that if they (were left) alone for any length of time they (would become) violent and complaints (would be make) by their parents.
Suddenly he (was striken) by an idea. In a moment his glass eye (was taken) out of its socket, and ( placed) on the table.
“Now, children”, he said, “I (am going) out for a few minutes but you (will be observed) all the time by my eye. If anything (is done) which (has not been approved) by me it (will be seen) by my eye, and the child (will be punished) when I (return).
The children (were impressed) very much, and the teacher (went) off.
But when he ( returned) an hour later it ( seemed) that a hurricane (had passed) through the classroom. The teacher (was astounded). “Evidently”, he thought,”I (have been outwited). I wonder how”.
In the classroom the tables (were overturned), the walls ( spattered) with ink from ink-bombs which (had been thrown) during the battle which still (was being fought) out as a manifestation of high spirits. In fact, a good time (had been had) by all.
The teacher ( wondered) why the presence of his glass eye (was not  respected). He ( looked) round for it and ( saw) that it (was covered) by a hat.
