READING AND WRITING

Objective: the student understands a text about Who is Santa Claus … Really? and is able to give information about it. (10 points, 2
for each one)
Instructions: Read the following text about Who is Santa Claus … Really? Then answer the following questions from the reading using
the grammar structures for each question.

Who is Santa Claus … Really?

When I was a young boy, I knew exactly who Santa Claus was. He was a fat, friendly, old man with a long, white beard that visited my home once
a year to put lots and lots of toys under the Christmas tree. He comes only if my sister and I have been good all year – and only if we were asleep.
Then, early the next morning, after we woke up, we ran downstairs to open all our gifts (I never understood why my parents always seemed so
tired on Christmas morning).
As I got older, however, I stopped believing in Santa Claus. Many years later, I asked myself the question, “Who is Santa Claus … really?” The
answer surprised me. Santa Claus was a real person. He was a Greek man, a Christian called Saint Nicholas who lived about 1,700 years ago in
the area that is now Turkey. He was famous because he gave many gifts to poor people. About a thousand years later, many people in Europe
began the tradition of giving gifts to children to remember Saint Nicholas.
The modern picture of Santa Claus – an old man dressed in red and white, with a long white beard – started about two hundred years ago in the
United States and Canada. Nowadays, he is also known as Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or just Santa. Saint Nicholas died a
very long time ago but I like to believe that the real “Santa Claus” lives in all of us. He is the goodness and love in our hearts that reminds us that
true happiness comes from giving to other people.

1. What did the man do when he was a boy? (answer using the simple past)
He ran downstairs to open all the gifts on Christmas morning
2. When did the man stop believing in Santa Claus? (answer using comparative adjective)
He stopped believing in Santa Claus when he got older
3. What is Santa Claus like? (answer using adjectives)
Santa Claus is fat, friendly, and old with a long white beard
4. Why was Saint Nicholas famous? (answer using simple past)
Saint Nicholas was famous because he gave many gifts to poor people
5. Where does true happiness come from? (answer using gerund)
True happiness comes from giving to other people
