Unit 2 Lets celebrate The Real Father Christmas (P14-15) Unit 2 Understanding ideas P14-15.mp3 Many people still remember the magic of Father Christmas from when they were children. As parents, they try to keep that magic alive for their children for as long as they can. That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who regard Christmas as a special time of year. The man who wrote these letters is one of the most famous names in English literature - J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings. The letters were Tolkien s way of keeping Father Christmas alive for his four children, over a period of more than twenty years. Every Christmas, an envelope with a North Pole stamp arrived. It was addressed to Tolkien s children. Who could it be from? The children must have been very excited as they opened it. Inside, they would find a handwritten letter from Father Christmas. The letters were also beautifully illustrated - each must have taken its true author, Tolkien, a long time to complete. The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas s life and adventures at the North Pole. A regular character in the letters was Polar Bear, who once climbed the North Pole (an actual pole in this case) and fell through the roof of Father Christmass house. In another letter, Father Christmas complained about how he could not stop his helpers playing games with the toys instead of wrapping them up. Interestingly, the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children that they might not receive their presents if they were not good. The letters did, however, change as Tolkien s children got older: . but if you find that not many of the things you asked for have come, and not perhaps quite as many as sometimes, remember that this Christmas all over the world there are a terrible number of poor and starving people. Letters from Father Christmas tells us that as well as enjoying the adventures of Father Christmas, Polar Bear and other characters at the North Pole, we can all share the true spirit of giving at Christmas time. By expressing love for his children in such a special way, Tolkien may indeed have been the real Father Christmas.

Time for a Change (P20-21) Unit 2 Developing ideas P20-21.mp3 Social Insights A family dinner is an important tradition to celebrate Spring Festival. Nowadays, some people choose to have the dinner in a restaurant, but not everyone is keen on this idea. What do our readers think? Dear Editor, We have eaten out for the Spring Festival family dinner for the last three years, and we have enjoyed it no less than eating at home. I dont understand why some people refused to embrace the change. Cant they admit that the preparations for the dinner are hard work? I really dont think its worth the effort of spending so much time preparing for a single meal, and then another hour cleaning up the mess after its over. We work all year, so why cant one day be about spending time with family and relaxing? Eating out is a good choice and it has nothing to do with loss of traditions. We still have the dinner with the same people, just in a different place. The occasion is more enjoyable without all that tiring cooking, and the dishes taste better! In my opinion, what or where we eat on Spring Festival Eve rally doesnt matter. Eating out may change the form of this tradition, but the love between the family members sitting around the table together remains the same. Wang Peng, software engineer Dear Editor, For this year s Spring Festival family dinner, my son has booked a table at the best restaurant in town, but Im a bit unhappy about it. For me, it just wont feel like Spring Festival having the dinner out. When I was a little boy, the dinner on the eve of Spring Festival was what 1 looked forward to most. It was not only for the delicious food that we seldom got to eat, but for the opportunity to have our whole family gathered together. I would run around the house, listening to the adults chatting about their year. I d get under my mothers feet in the kitchen, watching her make dumplings. She d put tokens in some dumplings: candies for a sweet life and peanuts for a long and healthy one. In the evening, all of us would sit around the table, enjoying the food and being together again. We toasted each other, we laughed, and the simple, homemade dishes tasted more delicious than anything cooked by a top chef. I hope my children and their children will still value our memories of preparing the dinner together. To me, the process is even more important than the dinner itself.
