| Hello, everyone. Today
we are going to start to study Unit Five A MISERABLE, MERRY CHRISTMAS.
We'll cover this lesson in 6 periods. In the first three periods we'll
study the major text and focus our attention on the overall understanding
of the text and some related knowledge. In the next three periods
we'll learn some language points in the text, do the follow-up exercises
and some listening practice and then come to the reading and writing
practice. After each period, we have provided some assignments for
the lesson so that you can consolidate what you have learned in class
and prepare for the next period. Now, before we come to the major text, let's first see some related information about the text and also the new words.   Christmas
Day (December 25) is by far the most important festival in the
Christian world, although it is almost certainly not the day on which
Jesus Christ was born. People celebrate the day by exchanging cards
and presents among relatives and friends, decorating the sitting room
with a Christmas tree, and enjoying a feast with all the family members
at the dinner table. |

| The
text A Miserable, Merry Christmas is taken from the autobiography
of Lincoln Steffens, a famous American journalist and editor. It is
a true story about what happened to the author on a Christmas day
when he was a child. Usually Christmas is big fun that children look
forward to. They can have all kinds of presents. So how can Christmas
be merry and miserable at one time? And what does the author mean
by saying that Christmas was the best, and at the same time, the worst
he ever knew? Keep these two questions in mind as you read the story
closely. |
