1ST TERM READING
Here you are the reading for this 1st term: Aesop's Fables. You should download the PDF and print it, or maybe you've got an e-book. Read the fables and write a glossary for each one with the words that you had to look up in the dictionary.
But first of all. What is a fable?
A fable is a story that features animals, plants or forces of nature which are given human qualities. A fable always ends with a ‘moral’. This is the lesson that is intended to be learnt through reading the story.
One of the most famous fables is The Hare and the Tortoise. In this fable, both animals are anthropomorphised (are given human qualities) so that they can speak and are competing against each other in a race. The arrogant hare stops to sleep halfway through the race because he is convinced he has enough time to do this and then rejoin the race and win it. Meanwhile, the slow but determined tortoise keeps going and wins while the hare is asleep.
You have plenty of time to read the fables and write your own glossary which, by the way, you will be allowed to use during the fable reading test.
Fables reading comprehension test is on the 12th of December (Wednesday).
