Чтение 2015 1 вариант Text 1 CHARLES DICKENS Charles Dickens is one of the most popular writers of all time. His life is rather like one of his books, full of happy and sad situations. He was born near Portsmouth, England in 1812, and then the family moved to London. He was one of the eight children. His father was a clerk, so they were very poor. His mother taught Charles to read. He loved books, but his parents did not have enough money to send him to school for long. At the age of twelve he went to work in a factory, and he hated the job. Then his father was sent to prison because he owed people money. Dickens wrote about these unhappy times later, in many of his stories. He did not want to stay poor forever. He taught himself shorthand and became a reporter in Parliament. Dickens had his first success as a writer with The Pickwick Papers. By the age of twenty-four he was already famous; he stayed famous until he died. In 1836 he married Catherine Hogarth, and they had ten children. They found it more and more difficult to live together, though, so in 1858 they moved to different homes. As well as his writing, Dickens had a number of other interests. He gave a lot of time to things that he believed in. He fought, for example, for changes to laws and prisons. In the end his health suffered, and he died in 1870.

This brochure will tell you what you can see if you take a short bus ride out of the city. Camberwell The historic village of Camberwell was once the home of the wealthy Hugo *amily. They lived in a huge country house, Camberwell Court, and owned all the land in the area. The family sold their house in the 1940s, and it is now open to the public. You can spend a whole day walking around the house and gardens. There is a small exhibition about the family, a children's play area, a gift shop and a restaurant.

Last month we held a jazz competition with bands from local high schools - and our band won! Each band had their own costumes, ranging from black school uniforms like my band wore, to brightly-colored T-shirts. We did not look much like adult professional bands, but all of us were used to performing in competitions, so the quality of playing was amazing, especially considering everyone was so young. Players from each band even created new tunes right there on stage. It was exciting to watch - but even better when my band played on stage! We have a great jazz band at my school, but not everyone who wants to play in it gets accepted - only about half, in fact. But anyone who is keen to play goes to jazz practice before school, and we often spend time together after school, listening to jazz and learning its language. There are also trips to jazz summer camps across the country - I have been to a couple and learnt a lot. Adults are often surprised that young people are getting interested in jazz. My music teacher thinks it is because pop music is not challenging enough for people like me who are serious about music. But I find it exciting because it is both new and old at the same time - you can create your own music, but you also feel you are a part of its history, as you are playing on stage in the same way as great jazz performers before you. My school is really lucky because we have great teachers, and parents who have supported us all the way. Without them, we would never get anywhere with our music. Because all of us want to connect our life with music!
