All of you who participated, thank you.

Today's theme song was "Jingle Bells".

"Jingle Bells" is sung all over the world for a Christmas season.

There are not a religious phrase and a reference for Christmas in the lyrics and is the song which youths sang a state to compete in a sled in winter for. 

There is it to the fourth, but only the first and a chorus part are sung widely.

Yuko-san introduced that ”Jingle Bells" was based on poem "Twas the night before Christmas" made by Clement Clark Moore in 1815.
Today, we only wrote down the lyrics to hear reading by Yuko-san, without lyrics card.
Yuko-san told us that pronunciation of "Ji" of "Jingle" was not [zi] and was [dʒ] well.

By today's pair work, we asked each other using the questions that Yuko-san prepared for about Santa Claus and Christmas day.

And we were divided into three groups, and we did group discussion about a question, 
"What does Christmas mean to you ?".

Though it was the same question, the conclusions of three groups were different each. 


How about you ?
