When
we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts, Christmas trees and Santa
Claus. But the true meaning of Christmas 1 behind
all these things: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people
around us. The story in A Christmas Carol
is perhaps the best example of this.
A Christmas Carol
is a famous short novel written by British writer Charles Dickens (1812-1870).
It is about an old man 2 Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He only
thinks about himself and is 3 to share things with others. He doesn't treat
others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make more 4 and he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve,
Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used
to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He 5 Scrooge
to change his ways if he doesn't want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge
to expect 6 ghosts (幽灵) to
visit him.
That
7, the ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the
Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds(提醒) him of his happy days 8 a child. Then the second ghost, the Ghost of
Christmas Present, takes him to see 9 others are spending Christmas this year.
Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet
to Come, takes him to the 10.
Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so 11 that
he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning — Christmas
Day!
Scrooge
decides to change his life and 12 to be a kind person. He 13 celebrates
Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now
treats 14 with kindness and warmth, spreading love and
joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true 15 of
Christmas!
