2b
A Christmas Carol
Many would agree that when we
think of Christmas, we probably
think of gifts, Christmas trees
and Santa Claus. But behind all these
things lies the true meaning
of Christmas: the importance of
sharing and giving love and joy to
people around us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this.
INFERRING
This means you have to “read between the lines” to get the meanings that are not clearly stated in a text.
A Christmas Carol is a famous short novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about himself. He doesn’t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more money and he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn’t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.
That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning — Christmas Day!
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He
also gives gifts to people in need. He now
treats everyone with kindness and warmth,
spreading love and joy everywhere he
goes. And that is the true spirit of
Christmas!
Read the first and last sentence in each paragraph and answer the question.
When you finish reading, what information have you got
I know that this passage wants to tell us the spirit of Christmas by telling a story in A Christmas Carol. The hero Scrooge who used to be mean and selfish becomes kind at last, and maybe this is the point where we can find the spirit of Christmas.
