Napoleon Bonaparte was keen to learn English while in exile,
documents show in Britain for the first time reveal. 【M1】______
The deposed French emperor apparently wanted to learn the
language of his foes so he can read what the London papers were 【M2】______
writing about him.
Scraps of paper from his English lessons in captivity on 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】______
his memoirs.
According to him, Napoleon had his first lesson on 17 January,
1816, when he asked las Cases to dictate to him some sentences in

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】______
fright because it was the enemy of France."

learning English. But he didn’t do it for pleasure. He wondered how

items and objects lent by galleries and museums across Europe.
