The deposed French emperor apparently wanted to learn the

Count Emmanuel de las Cases, who accompanied the emperor
into exile after he surrendered to the English at the Battle of
Waterloo, wrote about the emperor’s desire to learn the language by 【M4】______

dictionary.
According to historian Dr. Peter Hicks, las Cases describes how
Napoleon hated being sat down to work as a schoolboy but steeled 【M6】______
himself for the task.
Dr. Hicks said: "He was not necessary anti-English. He had to 【M7】______
