English First Term Exam

In the early 19th century, at least 80% of the British people were working class. Most of them lived in bad conditions and couldn’t even go to school, so they worked hard to pay the rent and provide food for their children. They were so poor that they could feed only bread, butter and potatoes. In addition, they couldn’t consume meat because it was really expensive. However, life became more and more developed in the middle of the 19th century. Trains and boats helped them bring cheap grains from North America so bread became cheaper. In addition, refrigeration also made it possible to import cheap meat from Argentina and Australia. By the end of the 19th century, most people were able to change their way of life.
