H. Read the following paragraph .
It was the last night of the year. It was snowing heavily and the ominous sky had grown dark. A poor little girl was walking bare-foot through the streets trying to find people to buy her matches. She had had slippers on when she left home. But they were too big. She had lost them when she crossed the wide and deep street. So then she continued walking along without her slippers.
The sad girl looked as thin as the matches that she was selling. She had already been walking in the wind and snow for a whole day. No one had bought anything from her; no one had given her even a copper penny. She was shivering with cold, yet she did not dare to go home. If she did not bring money home, her father would beat her. Besides, her home was as cold as the street.
As her legs could no longer carry her, she sat down at the corner of the street. How fine it would be if she had a little fire before her! She drew a match from the box and struck it against the wall. Oh, how it burned! The girl struck one match after another. It really seemed as if she was sitting by a great beautiful stove. When the little fire was burning, in her imagination she saw a lot of fine things: a Christmas tree, a goose, and so on. It also seemed to her that her long dead grandmother was standing by her. She was the only person who had been good to her.
The next day the New Year’s sun was shinning upon the little body that was lying there with the pile of burned matches. The poor girl had gently frozen to death on the last day of the Old Year.

E. Appreciate the English song.
Don’t Give up (Willie Nelson and Sinead O’Connor)
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along.
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Don’t give up
‘cause you have friends
Don’t give up
You’re not beaten up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we’d be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up
We don’t need much of anything
Don’t give up
‘Cause somewhere there’s a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It’s going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don’t give up
Please don’t give up
‘Got to walk out of there
I can’t take any more
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river’s flowing
That river’s flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men on one needs
Don’t give up
‘Cause you have friends
Don’t give up
You’re not the only one
Don’t give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up
We’re proud of who you are
Don’t give up
You know it’s never been easy
Don’t give up
‘Cause I believe there’s a place
There’s a place where we belong
F. This is the lecture made on the funeral of Diana, princess of Wales. Read it carefully. There may be some unfamiliar words as “profiteth”, which equals to “ profited”. Never mind, you just read it quickly
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor. and though I give my body to be burned. And have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly. seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues. They shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part. And we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass darkly but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
