Activity 1 Discussion
1．Do you find any hints in the story that suggest Granny was in poor health condition？Did the writer notice it at that time？(Critical thinking)
Granny spent most of her time on the sofa by the fire；her hand was slightly shaky；she stayed inside by the fire and didn’t go outside.
The writer didn’t notice it at that time.
2．Why does the writer think of her grandma every Christmas？What can you infer after reading the story？(Creative thinking)
(1)Because she had a happy Christmas with her granny before Granny passed away.
(2)Granny knew she was very sick and that she probably did not have much time，so she cherished every minute with the writer.Granny loved her family very much and the family loved her.
