Pupil 1: I’d like to tell about Mother Teresa.The Albanian
Missionary Mother
Teresa has dedicated her life to helping the poor,the sick and the dying
people around the
world,particularly those in India.Mother Teresa is among the most
well-known and highly
respected women in the world in the latter half of the twenties century.
In 1948 she
founded a religious order of Nuns in Calcutta,India,called ”The
Missionaries of
Charity. ”Through this order she has dedicated her life to helping the
poor,the sick and
the dying around the world,particularly those in India.
She was born Agnes Gohxha Bojaxhiu in 1910 in Skopje,Yugoslavia.
In1928 she suddenly decided to become a nun and travelled to Dublin,
Ireland, to join the
Sisters of Loreto,a religious order founded in the seventeenth century.
On May 24, 1931,
she took the name of ‘Teresa’ in honour of St. Teresa of Lisieux.
In 1948 Pope Pius XII granted Mother Teresa permission to live as an
independent nun. That
same year she became an Indian citizen. After studying nursing for three
months with the
American Medical Missionaries in the Indian city of Patna,she returned
to Calcutta to
found”The Missionaries of Charity”. Mother Teresa initially focused her
efforts on
poor children in the streets,teaching them how to read and how to care
for themselves. In
1952 Mother Teresa began work for which the Missionaries of Charity has
been noted ever
since.Her order received permission from Calcutta officials to use a
portion of the
abandoned temple to the goddess Kali the Hindu goddess of death and
destruction. Here
Mother Teresa founded the Kalighat Home for the Dying. She and her
fellow nuns gathered
dying Indians off the streets of Calcutta and brought them to this home
to care for them
during the days before they died.
In the middle of the 1950, Mother Teresa began to help victims of
leprosy. The Indian
government gave the Missionaries of Charity a 34 acre plot of land near
the city of
Asansol.Under Mother Teresa’s guidance a leper colony was established
here called Shanti
Nagar. For her work among the people of India the Indian government gave
her the
Padmashree award in September of 1962.
Teacher: Who wants to add?
Pupil 2: I’d like to tell about Bob Geldof. He is an Irish pop
musician who
has raised a lot of money for charity. Geldof, whose mother died when he
was young, came
from a very poor family. He was born in Ireland. After he had left
school he lived in
England,then in Vancouver in Canada where he wrote about pop-music for a
magazine. Back in
his hometown of Dublin,he and some friends he had known since childhood
formed a
successful pop group called "The Boomtown Rats”. In 1984 Bob saw a film
of a famine
that was devastating Ethiopia. He had the idea of producing a record
which could be sold
to help the famine victims. The song "Feed the world” raised 8 million
pounds. It was
sung by an all star rock groups which Geldof called " Band Aid”
In July 1985 Geldof organized a huge charity pop concert for
television,which was watched
by one and a half billion people. The 70 million pounds the concert
raised helped hungry
people all over the world. On the day of the concert Bob Geldof said” I
think this must
be the greatest day of my life.”
Teacher: You are quite right. But do you know something about
national
organizations making charity?
Pupil 3: Once upon a time there was a little girl. She lived
in a country that
had just been destroyed after a terrible war. But this girl had a
beautiful idea. To say
thank you for the bread and clothes she had received she decided to draw
a picture. It
displayed happy children, dancing in the sunshine, just like she wished
to be dancing
again. This picture touched many people and they started sending it
throughout the world.
This is how the first UNICEF greeting card was born.
What started in postwar Europe as an act of helping children has written
half a decade of
history for the world organization for children’s rights. UNICEF is the
Abbreviation
for”United Nations Children’s Fund”. In 161 countries UNICEF has
programs helping
children and women supported by state and private funds. Health,
education and
children’s rights are the main topics of New York based organization.
No matter if it is Afganistan or Irag, South America or Africa as soon
as war,poverty and
disease are a thread for children,UNICEF projects are there to help
UNICEF messengers such
as German anchorwoman Sabine Christiansen or Sir Peter Ustinov promote
the cause
worldwide.
But there is another messenger calling for the rights of the smallest of
the small and the
weakest of the weak”The UNICEF greeting card”. Ever since UNICEF was
founded 50 years
ago, the UNICEF greeting card has been sold more than500 million times
and each card help
a child. The earnings go straight to the projects.
Grammar exercises.
Teacher: We introduce relative clauses with the relative
pronounces who,which,
that, whose and where. When do we use them?
Pupil 4: We use who for people and which for things. We can
also use that for
both people and things but who is more usual for people.
e.g. Bob Geldof is a musician who is famous for helping to raise money
for charity.
He organized "Live Aid” which was watched by millions of people all over
the world.
He saw television pictures of a famine that was devastating Ethiopia.
Pupil 5: When who, which, that is the object of the relative
clause we can leave
it out.
e.g. Some friends he had known since childhood.
To show possession we use whose.
e.g. Geldof, whose mother died when he was young, came from a very poor
family.
We can use where to talk about a place.
e.g. He lived in Vancouver, where he wrote about pop-music for a
magazine.
