Pre-reading ActivitiesListen to the short passage twice and answer the following questions.①What’s the main idea?②Where does the strange person come from?③What did the husband leave his wife?听力原文A woman alone writes some painful lines in a notebook. To understand why the lines are painful, we go back in time to a strange event that happened on her wedding day. A strange woman gave the couple a message about their marriage. Every year, the husband and wife discussed their unique wedding guest. The wife thought she had come from heaven; the husband thought she had the wrong shape for some from heaven. One night, he wrote his wife a note. He wrote that it did not matter where their guest had come from. What mattered was that the word giftshe had given them was true. Now that her husband has died, the woman finds the painful lines in the book remind her of him.Answers:①It’s a woman’s memory. She recalled her wedding and a strange person.②Maybe from the heaven.③A note.3.
