Diary of a Nobody
Teens/Young
Adults
My dear wife Carrie and I have been a week in our new house. After my work in the City, I like to be at home. "Home, Sweet Home," that's my motto.
The ‘Nobody’ is Charles Pooter, one of the great comic characters in English literature. Pooter’s diary gives us a wonderfully funny picture of suburban life in 1880’s London.

What is ESL Young Learners?
An independent website providing free resources for English language teachers and students. These include reading and listening materials for use in the classroom or online.
Which resources can I use with my students?
Think of ESL Young Learners as a library. Materials are broadly categorised by age and/or level - but visitors can use any materials they can manage.
- Materials for the Age 5+ range in level from Beginners to Pre-intermediate.
- Materials for the Age 10+ range in level from Pre-intermediate to Upper Intermediate.
Less confident older learners may want to try the materials for younger children or vice versa.
