In 1949,I spent Christmas in Malta as a newly-married naval wife.We have returned to that island over the years,including last month for a meeting of Commonwealth(英联邦)leaders; and this year I met another group of leaders:The Queen's Young Leaders,an inspirational group,each of them a(44)I of hope in their own Commonwealth communities.
Actually,(45)J round the tree gives us a chance to think about the year ahead.It also allows us to (46)H on the year that has passed,as we think of those who are far away or no longer with us.Many people say the first Christmas after losing a(an) (47)A one is particularly hard.But it's also a time to remember all that we have to be thankful for.We should be thankful for the people who bring love and happiness into our own lives,and look for ways of (48)D that love to others,whenever and wherever we can.
One (49)B for thankfulness this summer was marking seventy years since the end of the Second World War.On VJ Day,we (50)C the remaining veterans(老兵) of that terrible conflict in the Far East,as well as remembered the thousands who never returned.
…
I wish you a very happy Christmas.
