Interesting lives: the Bronte sisters
In our English class at the moment we (1)’re reading ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Bronte. People (2) often call it a classic, and I (3) ’m really enjoying it. It’s a dramatic love story about two characters called Cathy and Heath cliff.
Emily Bronte and her sisters Charlotte and Anne were born in England in the 19th century. At that time, there (4) were any opportunities for female writers and it (5) wasn’t possible for women to publish books. But Emily and her sisters (6) were determined, and they used men’s names: Ellis, Currer and Acton Bell.
‘Wuthering Heights’ (7) was Emily’s only novel, but I think it was a fantastic achievement. Now they (8)’re making a new film of the story.
