You are a factory worker living in London during the Second Industrial Revolution.

Write a letter to a friend describing your daily life.

Be sure to include details about where you live, work, and the problems you face day-to-day. (2-3 paragraphs)

Dear Tom,

This is your friend John. I just recently moved to East London, near the docks from our home town of Cardiff.

Remember, I told you I will move to the big city one day to become rich!

Unforunately, London is a far more difficult place than I ever thought.

I work at the docks right now because I need to earn enough money to get a decent place. Right now, I live in a 3-bedroom house which is shared by 10 people.

We wake up at 4:00 am in the morning and start to work at 6:00 am. We work 12 hours a day for 6 days a week and everyday we just get 30 minutes of lunch break.

This is an aweful way to live but I guess that is how you become something big in London.

Next time you are in the city, do let me know

Yours truely

Tom
