Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Sofiya Nedbay, 7a

This summer I have read the book by Roald Dahl “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. This book was written in 1964. This fairy story is about adventures of a little boy Charlie Bucket at Mr. Willy Wonka`s Chocolate Factory. Let`s talk about it in more detail.

So, Charlie is a little boy and he lives in a very poor family. Charlie, his mother and father, his 2 grandfathers and 2 grandmothers all live in a very small and decrepit house. Only Charlie`s father has work. He works at a toothpaste factory, where he all day long screwed the little caps on to the tops of the tubes of toothpaste after the tubes had been filled. There is only 1 bed in this house. Charlie and his family often eat boiled potatoes and cabbage. Charlie loves chocolate very much, but he can get it only 1 time a year - on his birthday.

Mr. Willy Wonka is a confectionary genius, who has spent 10 years alone at his factory. And so one day he decided to allow 5 children to visit his magic factory. He promised to give enough chocolates and sweets to 4 luckies for the rest of their lives! But the fifth child will have a different gift.

I think that this book will be interesting both for children and for adults. I was only 8 years, when I read this book in Russian for the first time. It was so exciting for me! It was my favourite book. And so, now I am 13 and I still love this book as much as then (and my chinchilla too).
