c) Some shall have silver and some shall have gold,
So open your doors and let me in!a) Some shall have water and some shall have milk,
b) But each from me a present may win —
c) Some shall have satin and some shall have silk,
So open your door and let me in!Say what in your view the poem is about:
a) love
b) hope
c) the rich and the poor? - D. Do you think one should welcome any presents life gives us? What New Year presents would you like to receive?
1A. The song sounds sad because the singer has lost someone dear to him, he feels lonely and hurt, and he understands that the relationship is over. He also sounds disappointed and helpless, because “the winner takes it all” and he cannot change the situation.
New Year celebrations can make people sad if they feel lonely, miss someone, or remember unhappy events from the past. They may also feel sad when the holiday is over and everyday life begins again.
C. The correct order of the lines is:
I am the little New Year, ho, ho!
Here I come tripping it over the snow.
Shaking my bells with a merry din —
So open your doors and let me in!Presents I bring for each and all —
Big folks, little folks, short and tall;
Each one from me a treasure may win —
So open your doors and let me in!Some shall have brass and some shall have tin —
Some shall have silver and some shall have gold,
Some shall have new clothes and some shall have old.
So open your doors and let me in!Some shall have water and some shall have milk,
Some shall have satin and some shall have silk,
But each from me a present may win —
So open your door and let me in!
The poem is about b) hope.
D. Yes, I think we should welcome the presents life gives us, because even small surprises can make us happier and help us appreciate life. I would like to receive health, good luck, peace in my family, and a chance to achieve my goals in the New Year.
