　　Silding 1: finding information about a legendary person
　　This part teaches you to find out which information is real, impossible or does not exist about a legendary person.
　　1. I’d like to as some questions:
　　What does the word legend mean? (Legend refers to the traditional story of a famous person or an event. Some of the stories can be true. However, most of the stories are unreal, mythical or even supernatural.)
　　Can you give an example of a legend? (There are a lot of traditional Chinese legendary stories, such as Pangu cutting open heaven and earth or Nuwa patching the sky with five-colour stones.)
　　Who do you think are legendary persons? (The people in legendary stories, such as Pangu, Nuwa, Father Christmas, are legendary persons.)
　　2. Read the guidelines on page 58. Make some sentences with the expressions given.
　　Step 1: taking notes about Father Christmas
　　In this part you will first listen to a TV programme about Father Christmas and take some notes about this legendary person. Then you will read a web page about St Nicholas to learn more about Father Christmas.
　　1. Read the guidelines in Part A to understand what you will do first. Then go over the note sheet to get ideas about what you should pay attention to and write down while you are listening to the recording. Fill in the answers you already know or predict the answers for some blanks before listening.
　　2. Finish Part A on page 58 after you hear the recording. If necessary, I’ll play the recording several times for you to write down your answers.
