The lives of children in Victorian Britain
Dear Christine，
You asked me for help about your school project—the lives of children in Victorian Britain. I was also interested. I searched online and found out the following.
魔法记忆
In Victorian Britain, thousands of people came to the cities to work in the factories. Instead of the green, open countryside, people lived in very small houses, very close to each other, with no space for children to play. Families in those days were quite big. Often, there were four or five children in one family, and they all had to sleep in houses of just two rooms. Sometimes, a whole street had to share one outside toilet.
Can you imagine that
Most of the big cities were dirty and unhealthy. The pollution from factories filled the air. People put their rubbish outside in the streets. As a result ， there were many illnesses.
魔法记忆
And life was harder for children in those times. They didn't always go to school, because they had to work instead. Many children started work in factories when they were only four or five years old. They worked twelve hours a day in dangerous jobs for very little money. Many were hurt in accidents with machines.
I hope this is helpful. Write to me if you need more information.
With love，
Gran

eg：It was late at night and there was no bus. As
a result, we had to walk home.
夜深了并且没有公共汽车。结果我们不得不
步行回家。

Write a passage comparing the lives of the speaker's grandmother and mother in Activity 6.
The speaker's grandmother and mother have lived very different lives. Her grandmother had a much bigger family...
Cars
The modern car has changed life a great
deal. Before the invention of the car, people had to travel by rail, on horseback or by horse drawn carriage，or on foot. Using horses for travel was slow, and of course walking was even slower.Cars allow people to travel long distances quickly, in comfort and convenience.
Around the world
The car also solved an enormous problem caused by using horses for transport in cities: manure！There were so many horses in large cities that it was almost impossible to get rid of the manure. Modern people are used to the idea that cars cause pollution, but the first cars actually made cities cleaner!
