Interviews about Pride and Prejudice.

EVA: “I enjoyed this book because I like romantic books. The

novel is set in the 19th century and while I was reading it I was

imagining those dresses and those houses.”

PILAR:” When a book has a happy ending I feel good. Then I

am absolutely fascinated. I found the book quite difficult and I

wrote a lot of words on a piece of paper to remember them.”

CARMEN:” This year Ana, my teacher, told us that we had to

read a book with more than 2000 words. This book is upper-

intermediate and when I read another of intermediate level

with 1800 words I looked up only a few words, this is much

more difficult but I enjoyed it.”

“May I hope, madam, to speak privately with your lovely

daughter Elizabeth?”

Mrs Bennet said she was sure that Lizzy could have no

objection, but she didn´t want to go, then her mother

compelled her. Mr Collins began his proposal with 3 reasons.

Elisabeth cried that he was in too much of a hurry and Mr

Collins replied that it was usual for young ladies to refuse the

man whom they secretly mean to accept.

Elisabeth cried again: “I am perfectly serious I my refusal”
