3 Read the story and translate it into Russian.
Would you like to live in Victorian times?
Do you think your parents are too strict and your teachers are often unfair to you? Then compare your problems to the problems of children in Victorian times.
The first problem they had was to survive after birth. A lot of people were so poor that they couldntaskt afford to have children. So they tried to lose them everywhere: in the streets, on doorsteps, at railway stations. Children were often found dead.
Some children were sent to baby farmers. A baby farmer was a woman who looked after a lot of children for their parents. If you think that parents took their children back home in the evening, you are wrong. They paid five pounds, which was a lot of money at that time, and never saw their children again. Baby farmers didntaskt do much for the money they were paid. After all if a child died, they saved money.
Even if a child lived in the family, life was extremely hard. Big families had to share one room and everybody slept on the floor. If somebody died, people often kept the body in the room, because they couldntaskt afford to bury it. So remember that when you get mad with your little brother or sister who shares a room with you.
When a child could walk, he started to work. Children made matches and sold them in the street. They didntaskt have any warm clothes, so when the weather was bad, some of them froze to death. Do you still think that your house chores are too much?
Schools werentaskt expensive, but parents wanted their children to work and bring some money home. So only those children who were lucky went to school, but... will you really call them lucky? Victorian teacher believed in punishments as the best method of upbringing. They didntaskt ask a child why he had done something wrong — they just punished him. The list of punishments included: the cane, the strap, kneeling on the hard door with your hands on the back of your neck for a long time. But the worst of all was The Punishment Book. If something bad about you was written in that book, it was a big disgrace. The person mentioned in this book had no chance to get a good job after school.
Now try to match the "crimes" with the punishments and dontaskt forget to thank your teacher for being so nice to you.
a) A child didntaskt come to church on Sunday.
b) A child threw a pen in class.
c) A child was late for school.
d) A child wrote something in a very bad handwriting.
