I Read This is the story of four sisters Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy based in America. Their father is away fighting the war, and they live with their mother. Christmas is around the corner, and they are planning to buy gifts for their mother and practising for a play on Christmas Eve. The clock struck six, and Beth put a pair of slippers down to warm. Mother was coming, and everyone brightened to welcome her. Meg stopped lecturing, and lighted the lamp; Amy got out of the easy chair without being asked; Jo forgot how tired she was as she sat up to hold the slippers nearer to the blaze. ‘They are quite worn out. Mother must have a new pair’, said Jo. ‘I thought I’d get her some with my dollar’, said Beth. ‘No, I shall!’ cried Amy. ‘I’m the oldest’, began Meg, but Jo cut in with ‘I’m the man of the family now that Papa is away, and I shall provide the slippers, for he told me to take special care of Mother while he was gone.’ ‘I’ll tell you what we’ll do’, said Beth, ‘let’s each get her something for Christmas, and not get anything for ourselves.’ ‘That’s like you, dear! What will we get?’ exclaimed Jo. Everyone thought for a minute, and then Meg announced, ‘I shall give her a nice pair of gloves.’ ‘Army shoes, best to be had’, cried Jo. ‘A few handkerchiefs, all hemmed’, said Beth. hemmed ‘I’ll get a little bottle of cologne. She likes it, and it won’t cologne cost much, so I’ll have some left to buy my pencils’, added Amy. ‘How will we give the things?’ asked Meg. ‘Put them on the table, and bring her in and see her open the bundles. Don’t you remember how we used to do so on our birthdays?’ answered Jo. ‘I used to be so frightened when it was my turn to sit in the chair and see toasting you all come marching round to give the presents with a kiss. I liked the things and the kisses, but it was dreadful to have you sit looking at me while I opened the bundles’, said Beth, who was toasting her face and the bread for tea at the same time.

‘Let Mother think we are getting things for ourselves, and then we'll surprise her. We must go shopping tomorrow afternoon, Meg. There is so much to do about the play for Christmas night’, said Jo. ‘I don’t mean to act any more after this time. I’m getting too old for such things’, observed Meg. ‘You won’t stop, I know, as long as you can trail round in a white gown with poker your hair down, and wear gold-paper jewellery. You are the best actress we’ve got, and there’ll be an end of everything if you quit’, said Jo. ‘We ought to rehearse tonight. Come here, Amy, and do the fainting scene, for you are as stiff as a poker in that.’ ‘I can’t help it. I never saw anyone faint, and I don’t choose to make myself all black and blue, tumbling flat as you do. If I can go down easily, I’ll drop. If I can’t, I shall fall into a chair and be graceful’, returned Amy, who was chosen because she was small enough to be borne out shrieking by the villain of the piece. ‘Do it this way. Clasp your hands so and stagger across the room, crying frantically, “Save me! Save me!”’, and away went Jo, with a melodramatic scream that was truly thrilling. clasp Amy followed, but she poked her hands out stiffly before her and jerked herself along as if she went by machinery. Jo gave a despairing groan, Meg laughed outright, and Beth let her bread burn as she watched the fun with interest. – Adapted from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott Let Us Discuss 1) What was Beth going to gift Mother? 2) What did Amy want to do with the money she would be left with? 3) How is Amy in the fainting scene according to Jo? 4) Who did Jo say was the best actress they had? 50 Little Women Visa_G5_English_Book_TB_P1.indb 50 10/10/22 12:53 PM

R3 Reading Comprehension Passage 1 Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. The history of Chinese tea is a story of gradual refinement. Generations of growers and producers have perfected the Chinese way of manufacturing tea and its many unique variations. The original idea is credited to the legendary Emperor Shennong. His orders required that all drinking water be boiled as a hygienic precaution. A story goes that one summer day, while visiting a distant part of his kingdom, he and the court stopped to rest. In accordance with his ruling, the servants began to boil water for the court to drink. Dried leaves from a nearby bush fell into the boiling water, and a brown substance got infused into the water. As a scientist, the emperor was interested in the new liquid, drank some and found it very refreshing. And so, according to the legend, tea was created in 2737 BC. Tea is an important part of the Chinese tradition. The main varieties of Chinese tea are green tea, red tea (black tea), Oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea and reprocessed tea.

POETRY CORNER Know Your Poets The Coromandel Fishers Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) was an Indian political activist, poet and an important figure in India’s struggle for independence. She was the first Indian woman to be appointed as an Indian state governor. She was also elected to be a fellow at the Royal Society of Literature. Her collection of poems have been published under the titles The Sceptred Flute and The Feather of the Dawn. Fun With Poetry Have you noticed how verses in poems rhyme? Many poems have a pair of rhyming lines. This is called a rhyming couplet. A rhyming couplet is two lines of poetry, each ending with a rhyming word. The two lines of a rhyming couplet usually come together to form one complete thought or idea. Read these examples: Double, double, toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.1 Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.2 Think of some rhyming words such as chore - floor, may - day and write a rhyming couplet. Have you ever noticed that when you read poems aloud it becomes more enjoyable and relatable? Read the poem aloud: There once lived a Man, a Cat and a Dog, And the Man built a house with stone and log. ‘If you’ll help to take care of this house with me, 1Source: Song of the Witches from Macbeth by William Shakespeare 2Source: Humpty Dumpty by L. Frank Baum 65 Visa_G5_English_Book_TB_P1.indb 65 10/10/22 12:54 PM
One indoors, one out, your places must be.’ Said both together, ‘Indoors I’ll stay!’ And they argued the matter for half-a-day. ‘Come, let us sing for it!’ purrs the Cat; “No!’ barks the Dog, “I won’t do that.’ ‘Come, let us fight for it!’ growls Bow-wow; ‘Nay!’ says Pussy, ‘mee-ow, mee-ow!’ ‘Well, let us race for it!’—said and done. The course is mark’d out and away they run3. Did you notice how reading the poem out loud helped you create an image or scene of the man, cat and dog? This way of reading and performing poetry is called performance poetry. Performing a poem is one of the most effective ways to explore its rhythm and meaning. A poem is ‘performed’ whenever it is spoken aloud. Reading a poem to another person or reciting on a stage are both performances. The following techniques help to prepare for performance poetry: • Pausing to create tension. • Changing voices to match characters if any. • Changing the reciting speed from slow to fast and vice versa. • Acting out the poem by expressing certain parts of it. • Speaking clearly. You have read three poems: ‘Community peace’, ‘Days with Kiki’ and ‘The Coromandel Fishers’. L ook for rhyming couplets in the poems and underline them. Choose a poem you like and prepare for a performance of the poem. 3Source: The Cat and the Dog by William Allingham from Rhymes for the Young Folk 66 Poetry Corner Visa_G5_English_Book_TB_P1.indb 66 10/10/22 12:54 PM
