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.
