1)What made Victorian England a powerful country?
The growth in industry and trade made Victorian England a powerful country. 

2)Why was Victorian time the time of great contrasts?

Because despite of the development of the British Empire the gulf between the rich and the poor  in Victorian England became wider.

3)Why do people often speak of Victorian hypocrisy? What makes a person hypocritical (a hypocrite)?

 Because people in Victorian time often pretended to have better moral principles than they actually had. A person becomes a hypocrite when he pretends to be very moral but does not behave as such. 

4)Which Victorian ideas may seem shocking strange or hard to us? Which ideas do you find sensible if any?

Such ideas as permanent marriage and strict moral standards may seem hard to us. I don't consider any of these ideas to be sensible.

5)What were some of the traditions in a middle-class Victorian family? how can you characterize them?

The youngest members of the family were not supposed to talk unless spoken to by a grown-up. At the end of the day Papa took family prayers when everyone, including the servants, knelt down in the dining room or study. On Sunday afternoons the family often went for a walk, but no games were allowed.  The traditions in a middle-class Victorian family were strict, inflexible and thus quite unbearable.

6)Would you be satisfied with typical Victorian amusement? If you say no explain why not.

For sure I would not be satisfied with typical Victorian amusement as far as it seems simply boring and senseless to me. 

7)Do you think Victorians were different from modern people? In what way? Does human nature change with time or is it just the circumstances that make us different?

I don't think Victorians were different, they just behave differently. I believe that human nature doesn't change with time and only circumstances make us different. 

8)The text describes the lifestyle of a middle-class family? Have you got any idea how poor families lived in those days?

Yes, it does. As far as I know poor families were the worst affected class in the Victorian times.  Lack of money resulted in a low food supply. For most of the poor families, the living conditions were so miserable that they required their children to work in order to bring home some extra money to survive.

9)Would you like to live in Victorian England? Why (not)?

 I definetely would not like to live in Victorian England. I hate hypocrisy and I prefer to enjoy life as much as possible.  The life was hard for people in Victorian England. Working hours were long, breaks were short, and there were no holidays. There was no public water supply, no electricity and no toilets. A whole street would share one outside toilet, and rubbish was thrown out into the streets. Many people died of such diseases as typhoid and cholera.
