Activity 1 Discussion
1. Would you like to read the book Letters from Father Christmas？
Give your reasons.(Critical thinking)
I would love to read the book. To begin with, this collection of letters was created by J. R. R. Tolkien who also wrote The Lord of the Rings, which was really a phenomenal masterpiece. In this collection, I believe his gorgeous style of writing has already been filled with his deep love and expectations for his children. Also, the stories carrying his feelings about the adventures and misadventures of Father Christmas and his helpers were warmly received by famous critics. So the quality of the stories may not let us down.
2. What is the most special gift you have received from your family？
Why is it special to you？(Creative thinking)
An English dictionary from my grandpa. My grandpa is not rich, but when he knew I needed an English dictionary to improve my English, he bought one using the money he had saved for ages. I was deeply moved by what he did and made up my mind to learn English well and make a big difference in return for him.
Tolkien wrote the letters to express his love and expectation to his children. In the letters, we can share the true spirit of giving at Christmas time.
Our parents also give us special gifts at special time, such as at some festivals. The gifts are full of their love and care. We should appreciate it and learn to love our family.
The magic of Father Christmas has been remembered by people since they were 1.________(child). It was J．R. R. Tolkien that wrote letters to his children and 2.____(tell) them stories about Father Christmas.

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.

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 Christmas’s 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.
