  1. 1) The video mention 3 differences from The time when lived Dickens and the present:
    - The price of all the things.
    - There aren't horses on the street.
    - The hard living conditions.

    2) The new lenguagge that the strange character that mimics Dickens did is:
    -Dickensian: The time that has hard living conditions, ( as Charles paint on his novels).
    -A Scrooge: Is a person who don't like waste money and pay attention on another people.
    - What a Dickens : It's an expression that it's used to appear surprised.

  2. 1)
    Explain that the prices changed when he goes to take a beer. The difference about the city, the weather and the constructions are changed. The type of living at her streets, the transports, the people...

    2)
    A scrooge: person who don't like to spend his money.
    What a dickens...?: it's an old expression to say when you unknow something and surprised it to you.
    Dickensian: hard living conditions, expression founded at Dicken's novels.
