Last Christmas I visited my grandma, most of my relatives were there, I saw

my cousins, we exchanged Christmas cards, I didn’t get many presents

but I ate a lot of turkey. My family baked gingerbread cookies for

everybody, we also drank Champagne, it was delicious. We took a lot of

pictures and selfies. My cousins and I danced all night, we didn’t sing any

Christmas carols but my aunts sang in the karaoke. The kids got a lot of

presents. I received a Jenga and the whole family played. It was very fun.

Some of the kids made snowmen and we decorated them, they looked

very cute. I loved last Christmas, I had so much fun.

double the final consonant (stop-stopped)

Next class students will be randomly selected to read a part of the

Ebenezer Scrooge was an old money lender in London. He was rich, but he was a

very greedy, stingy and selfish man. He wasn´t friendly to people and he didn´t

help anyone. His only friend and partner, Jacob Marley, died many years ago.

His clerk, Bob Cratchit had to work in a cold room because Scrooge didn´t want to

spend money on coal to heat the room.

At Christmas Scrooge´s nephew Fred came to invite him to Christmas dinner at his

home and to wish a “Merry Christmas”, but Scrooge only answered angrily “Bah,

humbug.”

On Christmas Eve, Scrooge was sitting alone in his cold living room at home.

Suddenly the ghost of his dead partner, Jacob Marley appeared. He said to Scrooge,

“Change your life! You must become a better man. You must be kind to people, you

must laugh with them. Three ghosts will visit you this night.” Scrooge was terribly

afraid. Then he went to bed.ee ghosts will visit you this night.” Scrooge was terribly afraid. Then h

And while Scrooge was sleeping in his bed, the Ghost of Christmas Past appeared.

He took Ebenezer Scrooge back to the happy days when he had been a friendly

young man. He saw himself celebrating Christmas with other people. He looked so

happy. He also saw all the terrible things he had done when he was older.

Next the Ghost of Christmas Present appeared. Now the room was decorated with

holly, ivy and mistletoe and looked so nice. There was a table full of sausages,

Christmas puddings, apples and pears, oranges and cakes.

ghosts will visit you this night.” Scrooge was terribly afraid. Then he went to bed.

The Ghost of Christmas Present took Scrooge to a poor but clean room. It was the

home of his clerk, Bob Cratchit, and his family. Bob, his wife and his two children

sat at the table. There wasn´t much food on it, but they all said it was the most

wonderful Christmas dinner.

Although they were poor, they were happy and loved each other so much. They

saw Scrooge and invited him to sit down and have Christmas dinner with them.

Scrooge was very ashamed.

And there was also Tiny Tim. Bob's little boy was handicapped and they had no

money for a doctor. “Look!” the ghost told Scrooge, “The boy will die if they don´t

get money for a doctor.” “Please, take me away!” Scrooge said to the ghost.

The third ghost was the Ghost of Christmas Future. He went with Scrooge to a

graveyard and showed him a neglected grave. There was Scrooge´s name on the

tombstone. “Oh Ghost,” Scrooge shouted, “I will change my life. I will be friendly

and generous.” Then the ghost disappeared.

When Scrooge awoke the next morning he remembered the three ghosts and he

also remembered what he had seen. It was Christmas morning. He thought “What a

wonderful morning!” then he jumped out of bed and he smiled! He dressed quickly,

went out into the street, was very friendly, gave money to beggars and wished

everyone “A Merry Christmas!”.

He bought very delicious food and many presents and carried them to Bob

Cratchit´s house. He gave them the food and the presents and felt very happy. He

had never been happier in his life. Then he went to his nephew Fred to celebrate

Christmas with him. The ghosts had changed all in only one night. Ebenezer Scrooge

had learned his lesson for the rest of his life and he loved his new life.
