T: (After greetings) Listen to the tape to imitate the pronunciation and intonation.
After listening, ask some students to read the first passage.
Step II Lead-in
T: Would you like to listen to a love story?
Ss: Yes.
T: This story was written at the time when men did not wear their watches on their arms as they do now, but in their pockets, with a chain. Women had long hair of which they were very proud, and they put combs at the sides and back. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. Della counted it three times. One dollar and eighty-seven" cents, and the next day would be Christmas. She sat down and cried. Della was Mrs James Dillingham-Young. She and her husband lived in two rooms at the top of a building in a poor part of New York. Once Jim, Delia's husband, had work which paid him thirty dollars a week; but now he got only twenty. Jim and Della loved each other very much. Della stopped crying. She stood by the window and looked out. Tomorrow would be Christmas day and she had only one dollar eighty-seven cents with which to buy him a present. She had been saving every penny she could for months, and this is all she had got. She had spent many happy hours planning something nice for him, something fine and beautiful which was really worthy of Jim. Suddenly she turned quickly round and stood in front of the looking glass. Her eyes were shining brightly, but her face had lost its color. She quickly pulled down her hair and let it fall to its full length. There were two possessions of Mr and Mrs Young in which they took great pride. One was Jim's gold watch. That watch had belonged to his father and before that to his grandfather. The other proud possession was Delia's hair: it was beautiful hair. She quickly did up her hair again. She put on her old coat and the old brown hat, ran down the stairs and out into the street. She sold her hair for twenty dollars. For the next two hours Della was searching the shops for Jim's present. She found the present at last. A chain was good enough to go with his watch. With the chain, Jim might look at the time in any company. When Della reached home she set to work to do something to her hair. At seven o'clock the evening meal was ready. Jim was never late. She held the watch chain in her hand and sat on a comer of the table near the door through which he always came. Then she heard his step on the stairs. Jim stopped inside the door and stood there. His eyes were fixed on Della. Della could not understand that strange look. Della got off the table and went to him. She gave him the present and told him the truth. Jim took Della in his arms and kissed her. Then he took a packet out of his coat pocket and put it on the table. Della undid the packet and gave a cry of joy. Then she began to cry. For there lay the combs! The set of combs, side and back, which she had looked at so long in the window of a shop. When Della knew he had sold his watch to get money to buy her combs. They held each other for a long time.
T: What could you learn from the story?

T: Oh, do you think they were foolish? While I feel they chose their presents unwisely, those gifts which are the sign of real love are the best of all. What is the true love?
