"I'll Always Love You" 4,5年生に読んでみました。
国語の教科書に出てたの忘れてたらしい
読んでるうちに思い出したようですが・・
情報処理能力、問題有りか!?

生徒は日本語版を手元に広げ、
私が英語版を読み聞かせ
じぃ~~ん 
この方法、大分前に中学から英語を始め、
読むのが苦手だった生徒によくやりました。

中学生クラス、試験前日、対策の問題だけはやはりツカレル~~
"Love Me Do"♪
のディクテーションと言うか、ブレインストーミング風
私も一緒にやってみました。
I'll always be true の ('ll)の部分を落としてしまってました。

The Twelve Days of Christmas

The Twelve Days of Christmas の説明のみ
↓も数年前にホストファミリーが送ってきてくれたものです。

What in the world do leaping lords, French hens,
Swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won't come out
Of the pear tree have to do with Christmas?
Today, I found out.

From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were
Not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone
During that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics.
It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning
Plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each
Element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality
Which the children could remember.

-The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.

-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.

-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.

-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.

-The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.

-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.

-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching,
Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.

-The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.

-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness,
Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.

-The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.

-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.

-The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.

So there is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol...so pass it on if you wish.'

Merry (Twelve Days of) Christmas Everyone.....
