This year, we've started a new program called "Reading Marathon Plus" with the first year junior high school students. At the moment, the students are teamed up into two groups, "Group Rainbow" and "Group Diamond", and are reading selected books from the Oxford Bookworm Series.

Today, W. and R. read O. Henry's "The Christmas Present" with me. We went through the story, discussing how Della and Jim tried their best to prepare Christmas presents for each other. Although the couple cannot use their wonderful presents right away, they leave the scene with smiles on their faces, leaving us with equally warm smiles. Yes, this is a love story.

So, what's going to be on our plate in our next session!?
