     part1

Cynthia, an American, and Karina, her Danish friend, are shopping for Christmas presents.

Karina : Isn't this the perfect gift for Bob?

Cynthia : Are you crazy? That watch cost you an arm and a leg. Besides, Bob doesn't wear a watch.

Karina : That's why he's always late! This gift will make him more punctual.1

Cynthia : Why do you like this particular watch?

Karina : It reminds me of Christmas in Denmark because it's so shiny.

Cynthia : What do you mean?

Karina : Denmark only gets a few hours of sunlight a day during winter.

Cynthia : That doesn't sound very shiny!

Karina : No, but we light candles in homes, schools, and churches to create a warm atmosphere.2 At Christmas, the whole country is lit up like a giant Christmas tree!

Cynthia : I'm sure that watch will brighten3 Bob's heart all winter long.

Karina : I hope so. In Denmark, we give Christmas gifts to every friend and family member.

Cynthia : In America, we do, too! But it can get expensive, though. Speaking of which, how could you afford such an expensive watch on a teacher's salary?4

Karina : I took a part-time job on the weekends to save the money.

Cynthia : That's so sweet!

Karina : I've got an idea. Let's walk to Da-an Park and enjoy the sunshine.

美国人辛西亚和她的丹麦朋友卡丽娜正在选购圣诞礼物。

卡丽娜:这不正是给鲍伯的最佳礼物吗?

辛西亚:你有没有搞错?买那只表要花上一大笔钱。更何况,鲍伯是不戴表的。

卡丽娜:那正是他老爱迟到的原因!这份礼物会让他更守时。

辛西亚:你为什么喜欢这款手表呢?

卡丽娜:它令我想起丹麦的圣诞节,因为它看起来好闪亮。

辛西亚:这话是什么意思?

卡丽娜:冬天时,丹麦一天只有几个小时的日照。

辛西亚:听起来并不太明亮嘛!

卡丽娜:是不太亮,但我们在家里、学校和教堂中都点起烛光,以营造温暖的气氛。在 圣诞节 期间,全国上下灯火通明,就像棵巨大的圣诞树一般!

辛西亚:我相信那快表会让鲍伯开心一整个冬天。

卡丽娜:希望如此。在丹麦,我们会送圣诞礼物给每位亲朋好友。

辛西亚:在美国我们也一样!但买礼物可能得花不少钱。说到这点,光靠当老师的薪水,你怎么买得起这么贵的手表呢?

卡丽娜:这笔钱是我周末打工存下来的。

辛西亚:你真是有心!

卡丽娜:我有个想法,我们走到大安森林公园去享受点阳光吧。

      part2

Michael: Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All the Way.

Billy: Why are you singing Christmas carols Michael?

Michael: Because Christmas is coming quickly!

Billy: Ahhh. I have left all of my gift shopping until the last minute again. The stores will be packed.

Michael: Christmas is much more than just buying gifts for your friends and family.

Billy: Yeah I know. Gifts and corny songs are the two main Christmas activities.

Michael: No Billy! You have it all wrong. Take a seat and I will tell you about the ancient history of Christmas!

迈克尔:叮叮当,叮叮当,铃儿响叮当。

比利:你为什么在唱圣诞歌曲,迈克尔?

迈克尔:因为圣诞节很快就到了!

比利:啊哈。我又要等到最后一分钟再去购买所有的礼物。商店会很拥挤。

迈克尔:圣诞节可不光是给朋友和家人买礼物,还有很多别的东西。

比利:没错,我知道。送礼物和唱老歌是圣诞节的两种主要活动。

迈克尔:不是的,比利!你全搞错了。坐下来,我来告诉你有关圣诞节的古代史。

上面的对话中有中文翻译进行对照,英语基础不太好的人可以以此来学习。对话的内容要根据特定的环境有所变化,圣诞节主题的手抄报要把圣诞的感觉体现出来。除了对话内容,手抄报上还可以放一些圣诞节的相关介绍。
