TranslationAmid the atmosphere of Thanksgiving, rather than joining his friends in celebration of the holiday, George was immersed in the diary left to him by his father, who died at sea after he completed two successive trips around the world. The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and many of the specific things his father did on his behalf. Georges father used to impress on him the need to undergo all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence. He also taught him that nothing in the world could be taken for granted. Even today, George still remembers how his father would quote Aesops famous saying Gratitude is the sign of noble souls and tell him to accord the greatest importance to it.Part III TextBComprehension Checkl.c2. b3. d4. a5. cTranslation(#J& Appendix III)Appendix I- 121 -Language Practice1. restless2. settle down3. saturated4. designated5. compress6. complains7. testimony8. touched on9. definition10. referred to11. bring in12. spectrum13. swap14. gear15. to the point16. look over17. dual18. advantages19. kicked out20. migratePart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperDear Dad,Its Thanksgiving and of course my thoughts are turning home to you.

There are so many things, I dont know where to start and would never get to the end once I begin. But if I had to pick just one thing it would perhaps be the love of books and reading I learnt from you. Those after-dinner quizzes at the table about the books we had just read and the new words we had picked up, I can see them in my minds eye as if it were yesterday. Not many are as lucky in their father as I am. So, simply, thank you.Your loving son,Alex- 122 -Appendix IDear Rev. Nelson,I am writing this on board my ship. It is Thanksgiving. My thoughts have been turning to all those who have done so much for me in the past and how I have never taken the time to thank them properly. Naturally, you were among the first to come to mind. You were, quite simply, the very best teacher a child could wish for. You gave us so many different gifts, but, if I were forced to choose one, then it would be your morning prayers at assembly at the start of each day. Whatever positive things
