English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hi guys,
today we worked on an extract from the movie "Oliver Twist". Here is what we said:
The movie is dark because it takes place at night. In the 1800's, there was no electricity. They only used candles. Plus, it takes place in England and the weather is often bad / cloudy.
It creates suspense and a prison-like atmosphere. It's scary.
The children / orphans are like slaves. They are hard-working whereas the adults are lazy. They don't have a lot of food while the adults have a big meal.
Children / Adults:
- very young / old
- poor / rich
- skinny or bony / fat
Vocab:
- thin / skinny / bony
- respectful / obedient
- slave
- (to) draw lots / (to) bet
- an orphan
