●Task Telling a story about Father Christmas
Skills building 1: finding information about a legendary person
This part teaches you to find out which information is real, impossible or does not exist about a legendary person.
1. I’d like to ask you some questions:
What does the word legend mean? (Legend refers to the traditional story of a famous person or an event. Some of the stories can be true. However, most of the stories are unreal, mythical or even supernatural.)
Can you give an example of a legend? (There are a lot of traditional Chinese legendary stories, such as Pangu cutting open heaven and earth or Nuwa patching the sky with five-colour stones.)
Who do you think are legendary persons? (The people in legendary stories, such as Pangu, Nuwa, Father Christmas, are legendary persons.)
2. Read the guidelines on page 58. Make some sentences with the expressions given.
Step 1: taking notes about Father Christmas
In this part you will first listen to a TV programme about Father Christmas and take some notes about this legendary person. Then you will read a web page about St Nicholas to learn more about Father Christmas.
1. Read the guidelines in Part A to understand what you will do first. Then go over the note sheet to get ideas about what you should pay attention to and write down while you are listening to the recording. Fill in the answers you already know or predict the answers for some blanks before listening.
2. Finish Part A on page 58 after you hear the recording. If necessary, I’ll play the recording several times for you to write down your answers.
Tapescript
Host: Good morning. Today, I am going to interview someone who knows a lot about Father Christmas. Steve Smith is the owner of a toy shop. Now, Steve, I wonder if you could quickly summarize who Father Christmas is and what he does.
Steve: Well, the character Father Christmas has been around for hundreds of years, and he is known to many children around the world as the person who brings them Christmas presents. He is often described as a happy, fat man with long white hair and a long white beard and moustache, dressed in a red suit with a black belt and black boots. However, he hasn’t always dressed like that. A famous advertisement used a picture of him wearing red in nineteen thirty-one, but before that, he was usually drawn wearing green.
Host: Father Christmas comes to visit us at Christmas time, but where does he spend the rest of the year?
Steve: Well, he is said to live near the North Pole with his wife and lots of little creatures called elves. The elves are his friends. They help make toys. He also has twelve reindeer that help him deliver the presents on Christmas Eve.
Answers:
A (1) fat (2) white (3) red suit (4) black (5) North (6) toys (7) 12
(8) deliver (13) green (14) 1931
3. Listen to the second half of the recording to fill in all the blanks.
Tapescript
Host: When I was a child, I used to write to Father Christmas, so that he would know what I wanted.
Steve: Many children do that several months before Christmas. They write to tell him what presents they would like for Christmas. One of the traditions in the UK is for children to take the list of presents they want and put it in the chimney.
Host: What happens after that, on Christmas Eve?
Steve: According to stories, on Christmas Eve, Father Christmas puts all of the presents onto his sled and flies across the sky with his twelve reindeer. Once Father Christmas arrives at a house, he goes down the chimney and places presents for the children in stockings or in front of the family Christmas tree. Some people hang the stockings by their beds, but most people hang them by the fireplace. Many people say that Father Christmas likes to eat mince pies, so they always leave some out for him to eat. Many people also leave a carrot out for the reindeer.
Host: I didn’t know that! I’ll have to remember that in the future. Now we have time for one more question. Do you know where the idea for Father Christmas came from?
Steve: There is a question between Father Christmas and St Nicholas, who was a saint from hundreds of years ago. You can find more about St Nicholas on the Internet.
Host: Steve, thanks for talking to us today. I suggest that anyone who wants to find out more about Father Christmas should look on the Internet. There are many sites and there is much information about him.
Answers:
A (9) presents (10) tree (11) bed (12) pies

Skills building 2: asking questions about cultural differences
This part tells you how to ask questions about cultural differences, so you can use the questions presented in this part to find some information you need to know. Read the guidelines and the question structures in this part. Make sentences by using these questions. For example:
