Have you ever read any of Tolkiens books or seen any of the films based on them? What do you think of them?2. What else do you know about Tolkien? Find out more about him and share your research with the class.And then share their views in whole class.Step 3 While readingActivity 21. Have the Ss read the passage and find out what Letters from Father Christmas is about and why Tolkien wrote these letters. (1) Ask the Ss to go through the passage and then discuss the questions with their partners.(2) Have several Ss share their views in whole class. 2. Pay attention to the language points during reading.(1) It was addressed to Tolkiens children.教师应提醒学生注意address作为动词的用法。在课文语境中，address意为“在（信封、包裹等）上写姓名和地址”。此外，address作为动词还有“解决（问题）；对发表演说”等意思。例如：We must address the problem of environmental pollution.（我们必须解决环境污染问题。）Hes going to address the meeting tomorrow.（他明天要在会议上发表演讲。）(2) In another letter, Father Christmas complained about how he could not stop his helpers playing games with the toys instead of wrapping them up.教师应提醒学生了解complain的常见用法，如complain about/of/to/that引导的成分等。例如：Dans been complaining of severe headaches recently.（Dan最近一直抱怨自己头疼得厉害。）Neighbors complained to the police about the dogs barking.（邻居向警方投诉狗吠扰民。）She complained that no one had been at the airport to meet her.（她抱怨说没人到机场去接她。）此外，句中的how he could not stop.wrapping them up作complained about的宾语，是一个宾语从句。教师可引导学生思考此处能否将about how改为that,并提醒学生体会改了以后该句在意思上有什么变化。(3) Interestingly, the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children that they might not receive their presents if they were not good.Paraphrase: Parents often warn their children to behave well before Christmas, or they might not receive their presents. It is interesting that Tolkiens letters did not contain such warnings.此句中interestingly的用法是英语中的一个常用表达法，即用副词（常置于句首）修饰整个句子。其他常用的副词还有fortunately, luckily, thankfully, hopefully等。另外，如果学生有疑问，教师可以指出 that they might not receive their presents if they were not good 是同位语从句，是对抽象名词warnings的进一步解释说明。(4) Letters from Father Christmas tells us that as well as enjoying the adventures of Father Christmas, Polar Bear and other characters at the North Pole, we can all share the true spirit of giving at Christmas time此句中应注意as well as的用法，在句中意为in addition to。常见的搭配有as well as sth/doing sth。例如：They sell magazines as well as books.（他们既卖书，也卖杂志。）The organization gives help and support to people in need, as well as raising money for local charities.（该机构为有需要的人提供帮助和支持，还为当地的慈善机构募集捐款。）3.
