Part 1

The Polar Express

Warm-up Question: What special things do you do for your favorite holiday?

Years ago, when I was a boy, I lay in bed on Christmas Eve.

It was late at night.

I hoped to hear the sound of Santa Claus's sleigh雪橇 bells.

However, I heard the sound of a train!

It stopped outside my house as snow fell from the sky.

I put on my slippers and robe浴衣；睡袍 and went outside.

"This is the Polar Express to the North Pole," said the train's conductor.

I got on the train and saw other children in their pajamas.

As the train passed houses and forests, we sang Christmas songs.

We also drank hot chocolate and ate candy.

Part 2

The Polar Express

Warm-up Question: What present do you hope to get this winter?

The train went quickly across snowy mountains to the North Pole.

The conductor told us, "Santa will give the first gift of Christmas there."

Finally, we arrived at the North Pole.

We saw hundreds of elves, as well as Santa and his reindeer.

Santa chose me to get the first gift of Christmas!

I asked for a silver bell from his sleigh.

I put the bell in the pocket of my robe.

Soon, Santa and his reindeer flew away on the sleigh.

Back on the Polar Express, everyone wanted to see the bell.

However, when I put my hand in my pocket, I only found a hole!

Part 3

The Polar Express

Warm-up Question: Did you ever lose something important?

What happened?

I was heartbroken to lose the bell.

When the train reached my house, I sadly waved goodbye.

The next morning, my sister Sarah and I opened our Christmas presents.

There was a small box with my name on it behind the Christmas tree.

It had a note attached.

It said, "Fix that hole in your pocket. –Mr. C."

Santa Claus sent me the bell inside the box!

When I rang it, Sarah and I heard a beautiful sound.

However, my parents couldn't hear it!

Most people can't hear the bell when they grow up.

I'm an old man now, but I still hear it because I truly believe.
