Task 2. Read short texts about Victorian families and match a suitable heading. One heading is extra.

1._________________________________________

Many women had lots of babies. Birth control was not widespread, and few couples used any means of contraception. Child-bearing could be dangerous, and many women died in childbirth. Many babies also died, from childhood diseases. Queen Victoria had nine children. Her children were called Edward, Alfred, Arthur, Leopold, Victoria, Alice, Helena, Louise and Beatrice. The royal family became a model for other families.

2.__________________________________________

Many poor children lived in tiny country cottages or in city slums. There was no money for toys, nowhere to play except alleys and yards. Many children had to work, while others were too sick and hungry to play. Yet most poor children still managed to make some fun. They played with whatever they could find, perhaps dancing to the music of a hurdy-gurdy man, paddling in a stream, or climbing trees and lamp-posts.

3.______________________________________________

Rich families had large houses, with a special room for children called the nursery. This was often at the top of the house. In the nursery younger children ate, played and slept. They were looked after by a woman called a nanny. She took them for walks in the park or to the zoo. Some rich children saw their parents only in the morning and evening, and were looked after mostly by their nanny and by other servants. Most Victorians thought children should be 'seen and not heard'.

4.______________________________________________

Victorians made their own entertainment at home. They had no radio or TV. They enjoyed singing, and a rich family would sing around the piano, while poorer families enjoyed tunes on a pipe or a fiddle. Families played card games and board games, and acted out charades. At birthday parties, a special treat was a magic lantern show. An oil or gas lamp sent a beam of light through a glass lens and onto a screen, to show enlarged images, perhaps of wild animals or a story told in pictures.

Headings: Family rules , Nanny in the nursery, Why such big families?, Fun at home, Slum children

Task 6 Read the text about class division in the UK and put the sentences in the correct order to make a plan of the text.

Some things about Britain make sense only to the British. One of these, probably the strangest is social class.

There are three main class divisions in Britain with some 'in between' variations (such as ‘upper middle’): upper-middle and lower or working class. And people in Britain are very conscious of class differences.

The different classes in Britain tend to eat different food at different time of the day (and call the meals by different names), they like to talk about different topics, they enjoy different pastimes and sports and have different ideas about the correct way to behave.

The easiest way to guess the class to which the person belongs to is to listen to the way he or she speaks. A person’s accent in Britain is an identity card. Other people will be able to say what social background you come from, where you were born or educated, and what kind of job you do.

Changing an accent is difficult, even for actors. To achieve the desired accent, a British person must speak it from childhood. This is one of the reasons why people still send their children to expensive private schools. It is not that the education there is better, but because, as adults, they will have the right accent and manners.

A person’s vocabulary is also very important. Here is a good class-test you can try: when talking to an English person, say something too quietly for them to hear you properly. A lower-middle or middle-middle person will say ‘Pardon?’; an upper-middle will say ‘Sorry?’ (or perhaps ‘Sorry – what?’); but an upper-class and a working-class person will both say ‘What?’ The working person, however, will drop the ‘t’ – ‘Wha’?’

‘Toilet’ is another word that makes the higher classes exchange knowing looks. The correct upper word is ‘lavatory’ or ‘loo’. The working classes all say ‘toilet’, as do most lower-middles and middle-middles, the only difference being the working-class dropping of the final ‘t’.

An interesting thing about the class system in Britain is that very often it has nothing to do with money. A person with an upper-class accent, using upper-class words, will be recognized as upper class even if he or she is unemployed or homeless. And a person with working-class pronunciation, who calls a sofa ‘a settee’, and his midday meal ‘dinner’, will be identified as working class even if he is a multi-millionaire living in a grand country house.

Task 9. Read the text about Victorian family life and find synonyms for the words in bold

Life for Victorian Children in Victorian times (1830 to 1900) was nothing like childhood in today’s world. For the wealthy there was an overwhelming sense of boredom and the constant prodding to be proper and polite with very little parent to child communication. For the poor Victorian Children life was much different. The poor children had to work public jobs for their families to survive. Toys were nothing more than homemade dolls or wooden blocks. On the other hand their family life was tighter knit and more loving.

While the wealthy children may have been spoiled and had a much better life than the poor children, they also had what would seem to be a sad, redundant and affection-less existence.

Children were mostly raised by a nanny who would teach the child what was proper and what was not. Day to day living was nothing more than a lonely monotonous routine and very formal. Wealthy Victorian Children rarely communicated with their parents except for a specified time each day.

Word bank: affectionate, households, interaction, brought up, tedium ,uninspiring , arranged, rich

Task 10. Read the text about Victorian family life and cross out the extra words

The poor Victorian Children lived a very different/average/various life than the children of wealthier families. They didn’t have the nice houses to live in or the extravagant toys, clothes or fine dishes/ foods/meals that the rich kids had. They lived in much smaller palaces/houses/cottages or even single rooms.

Living in these tight quarters caused the family to be much closer/wider/narrower. Without the presence of a servant/waiter/ nanny the parents raised the children and were the guiding force in their lives. This did not always translate to a more loving atmosphere though. Since a large part of the wealthy/rich/poor children had to work public jobs to help support/provide/maintain their families many parents thought of children as income, and having more children who played/sold/ worked raised the income of the home. Many parents had 10 or 12 or even more children for this reason alone.

Task 11. Read the text and fill in the missing words. Two words are extra

Although many children worked in Victorian times, they still had time to play.__________, most Victorian children played in the street or in the fields and woods.
