Szia!
Remélem kellemesen telt a hétvégéd, én szokás szerint rohangáltam és próbáltam mindent elintézni, hogy kész legyek karácsonyra:) Persze nem sikerült mindent megvenni, megtalálni, becsomagolni, rendbe tenni, de sebaj, legalább láttam egy pár aranyos kis állatot egy alkalmilag berendezett jászolban:) ... erről persze eszembe jutott, hogy a kutyáinknak sem lehet melege, ezért ők is kaptak egy zsák illatos szalmát, amivel kibéleltem a házukat. Egész kényelmes ki ingatlanja van az ebeinknek, most, hogy körülnéztem náluk belülről is:)
Ezen a héten természetesen a Karácsonnyal foguk foglalkozni! Ma napjaink egyik legismertebb angol nyelvű karácsonyi dalocskájával, a "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer"-rel fogunk megismerkedni. Elolvashatod a dal születésének körülményeit és hihetetlen sikerének történetét! Megtalálod a dal szövegét is, és meg is hallgathatod!
Jó tanulást!
Üdv,
Nóri
RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER
The famous Christmas song 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' started life as a poem created by an American advertising executive, called Robert May. He was requested to produce a poem that could be given away to children by the Santa Claus employed by Department Stores at Christmas! Working as an Advertising Executive Robert May had a natural flair with words and was able to compose the Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer poem which was specifically designed to appeal to children. This marketing ploy was a massive success and approximately 2.5 million Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer poems were given away in the first year of its publication! In 1949 the singer Gene Autry recorded a musical version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer composed by Johnny Marks. |
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!
