Task two. Read the text and choose the correct answer Lewis Carroll was the pen-name of Charles Dodgson, an English writer and the author of  two of the best loved children's books in English Literature – 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'  and 'Through the Looking Glass'. The characters and phrases from these books have entered and  become part of the English culture, so if someone calls you 'Mad as a Hatter', you know whom to  thank.  Charles was educated first by home-schooling, then at two boarding schools, and finally  at Christ Church College, Oxford. Later in life, he remembered his boarding school experience  without any warm feelings. Still, he was an excellent student and studied very well in all his sub- jects.  In 1854 Charles Dodgson got a 1 st class degree in Mathematics and one year later he became  a lecturer in Mathematics at Christ Church College. When a new Headmaster arrived  at Christ Church College, he brought with him his family. Dodgson became the family’s close  friend. The Headmaster’s little daughters, the youngest of which was called Alice, enjoyed his  company very much. Charles often entertained the girls by telling them stories about imaginary  worlds with fantastic creatures.  The story about the adventures of little Alice became popular all over the world. ‘Alice in  Wonderland’ is primarily a children’s story, but adults have enjoyed the novel for over a century  together with children.  Many elements of ‘Alice’ were not completely new. Talking animals, for instance, or the  story idea in which a child or children are carried away from reality into a fantasy world. However,  it was Carroll who established a new motif that would be used again and again in children’s litera- ture: Peter Pan, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the Narnia books, and the Harry Potter books. That is  the possibility for the main characters to travel back and forth between the real world and wonder- land.  Though his characters travelled a lot between one world and another, Charles Dodgson him- self didn’t like being away from home. The only occasion on which (as far as it is known) he went  abroad was a trip to Russia in 1867.  He died of pneumonia on 14 January 1898 at his sisters' home. He was 2 weeks away from  turning 66.  1. Charles Dodgson was a brother of the famous English writer Lewis Carroll.  TRUE FALSE NOT STATED  2. Charles Dodgson enjoyed his years in the boarding schools very much.  TRUE FALSE NOT STATED  3. Charles Dodgson’s children enjoyed reading his books about Alice.  TRUE FALSE NOT STATED  4.
