Writing 25: Oliver Twist At the moment I am reading "Oliver Twist" , a book recommended by Cambridge to learn English. I have read only two chapters, one per day because I try to search every word I don't understand and I make a little summary at the end of the chapter. I can see what has to do Oliver to scape from the charity and from an orphan. He hasn't neither parents nor friends. He works with an undertaker carrying bodies in the coffins to the churches. It is interesting and it's also easy because I have watched the movie before, but there are a lot of words I have to search in the dictionary to learn them. Thanks for correcting me. Nacho

*I would write it as Oliver Twist (no quotes, underlined) when you can.

*I think you meant to say "from the orphanage", but I'm not sure what the best context is since I didn't read much of Oliver Twist.

* In English you say "has neither parents nor friends"...otherwise it becomes a double negative.

ok, thank you, I will see it

The best film version is from 1968 - see that version of the movie.
