PART TWO - THE SCHOOLGIRL

CHAPTER SIX

Life at Lowood Continues


Gradually 1 the sickness left Lowood. I soon discovered that often, there were good sides to all the sad troubles in life. Because so many girls had died, other people learned 2 of the terrible conditions at the school. Immediately, money was raised to build a new school in a better place, and many [-----1-----] were made. We had warm clothes, softer beds, and good food to eat. The best part was, Mr. Brocklehurst left the school! So Lowood became a truly good place for a girl to get an education. I stayed for eight years, and for the last two years I was a teacher. All that time I was happy, and my dear friend Miss Temple helped me greatly.

But when Miss Temple married and moved away, I decided 3 it was time to change my life too. I had been at Lowood for many years, and I wanted to find new [-----2-----]. I decided to find a job as a governess. Soon I received an answer from a woman named Mrs. Fairfax. She wanted a governess for a little girl about eight years old. The school gave me [-----3-----] to go, so I accepted the job. Soon, I thought, I would have a new life. What would it be like?

governess:家庭女教师。作者本人曾做过家庭女教师,因而可以真实的笔触描写简爱做家庭女教师的生活。当时许多有钱人家为子女请家庭教师,与此同时对很多家境不好的女子,从事家教则是一份体面的职业,她们往往同主人共同生活,地位虽高于奴仆,却不能与主人平起平坐,其报酬也极低
