NOTES FOR TEACHERS/LECTURERS

Notes for teachers/lecturers

It is recommended that all three units at Intermediate 2 Gaelic (Learners) be delivered concurrently. This unit will develop students’ linguistic skills in the context of sports and pastimes. The completion of this unit will contribute towards preparing students for internal assessments for Listening and Speaking Skills , Reading and Writing Skills and Language and Individual

Study , as well as for course assessments.

There is no single teaching style that suits everyone. However, learning will be more effective if this unit is delivered with direct teaching inputs addressing new vocabulary and grammatical structures. These inputs will include consolidating vocabulary and grammar that permeate from a previous stage. Teachers/lecturers should refer to the existing grammar grids within the original Higher Still Support Materials, Gaelic (Learners).

Many of the activities within this unit may be accessed by students with the assistance of a dictionary, independent of the teacher/lecturer. These activities will afford teachers/lecturers an opportunity to direct the work of another group of students. A learning situation of this nature will be enhanced by allocating time at the beginning of the course, and sometimes of a lesson, to informing students of outcomes, processes and tasks to be undertaken. This will encourage students to be responsible for their own learning.

Once activities have been completed they should be checked by the teacher/lecturer. Feedback about their work, highlighting positive achievements and areas that require to be improved should be provided to the student. This will allow both student and teacher/lecturer to monitor progression.

Advice on learning and teaching styles may be accessed in the Subject Guide for Gaelic Learners.

2.a Fèisean-ciùil

Leughadh

Leugh an earrann a leanas agus an uair sin, freagair na ceistean a tha na cois.

Read the passage and then answer the questions which follow.

Ma tha thu measail air ceòl, ’s dòcha gun deach thu gu fèis-chiùil ainmeil mar

‘T in the Park’ no Glastonbury.

Am-bliadhna, bha Fèis Cheilteach Innse Gall deich bliadhna a dh’aois. Tha an fhèis seo a’ dol air adhart ann an teanta mhòr ann am baile Steòrnabhaigh air Eilean Leòdhais anns an Iuchar.

Fad ceithir làithean, bha ceòl is còmhlain a’ tàladh dhaoine do na h-Eileanan an Iar. Thadhail na mìltean air an Fhèis bho àiteachan cho fada air falbh ri

Afraga a Deas, Astràilia, na Stàitean Aonaichte is an Roinn Eòrpa.

Bha a h-uile tiogaid air a reic airson trì de na ceithir làithean a bha an Fhèis a’ dol is chruinnich sluagh math airson a’ cheathramh latha. Tha e coltach gun do cheannaich seachdad sa cheud neach an tiogaidean bhon Eadar-lion.

Thuirt fear de luchd-stiùiridh na Fèise, “Tha an Fhèis a’ cuideachadh

ìomhaigh is eaconamaidh an eilein.”

Gach bliadhna, tha ainmean mòra ann an saoghal a’ chiùil a’ nochdadh air an

àrd-ùrlar. Chuir pìobaire Astràilianach is an Spàinnteach Xose Manuel

Budino blas eadar-nàiseanta air gnothaichean am bliadhna.

Ach, ’s e còmhlan à Alba a bha a’ chuid bu mhotha airson cluinntinn – Runrig.

Sheinn iad measgachadh de sheann òrain is feadhainn nas ùire, nam measg, cuid de na h-òrain Ghàidhlig air a bheil daoine cho eòlach. Dh’innis fear de bhuill a’ chòmhlain gu bheil Gàidhlig fhathast aig cridhe an ciùil. Thuirt e,

“ ’S e cothrom math a bha seo tilleadh a chluiche anns na h-Eileanan.

’S fheàrr leam cluiche an seo na ann an àite sam bith air an t-saoghal.”

Leughadh

Leugh an earrann a leanas agus an uair sin, freagair na ceistean a tha na cois.

Read the passage and then answer the questions which follow.

Nuair a bha Catriona òg, bhiodh i fhèin agus a pàrantan a’ dol gu fèill-reic sheann rudan co-dhiù uair sa mhios. An toiseach, cha robh seo a’ còrdadh ri

Catrìona – cha robh ùidh aice ann an seann àirneis no seann soithichean no seann aodaich. Bhiodh i ag ràdh rithe fhèin,

“Carson a tha mo phàrantan a’ toirt cho fada a’ dol timcheall gach stàile a’ stad a’ coimhead is a’ bruidhinn? Chan urrainn dhomh thuigsinn dè tha cho tarraingeach mu rudan nach eil ùr?”

’S e dèideagan no irisean ùra a bha i fhèin ag iarraidh.

Ach, bha aon stàile ann air am bu toigh le Catrìona a bhith a’ tadhal. B’ e leabhraichean a bha am bodach a’ reic. Chan e na leabhraichean fhèin a bha inntinneach dhi ach am bodach agus na h-adan annasach, dathach a bhiodh air. Cuideachd, bhiodh daonnan rudeigin èibhinn aige ri ràdh rithe.

An-diugh, tha cruinneachadh mòr de ghnothaichean co-cheangailte ris a’ bhana-actair Audrey Hepburn aig Catrìona. Thòisich seo nuair cheannaich a h-athair bogsa leabhraichean bhon bhodach. Aig bonn a’ bhogsa, bha postair de bhoireannach brèagha. Dh’innis pàrantan Catrìona dhi cò an tè a bha air a’ phostair agus a-nis tha i fhèin air tòrr fiosrachaidh a lorg mu deidhinn.

Bidh Catrìona is a pàrantan fhathast a’ dol gu na fèilltean-reic ach a-nis ’s i

Catrìona as motha a bhiodh a’ ceannach. A bharrachd air an ùidh a th’ aice ann an Audrey Hepburn, tha i air tòiseachadh air rud no dhà eile a chruinneachadh, mugaichean no cupannan annasach bhon naoitheamh linn deug agus cairtean-puist le dealbhan fhlùraichean orra.

Cò a-riamh a shaoileadh e?

Na Ceistean

1. How often did Catriona go to antiques fairs?

2. To begin with, how did she feel about going to the fairs?

3. What three items seen at the fairs were of no interest to Catriona?




4. (a) What was her complaint with regard to her parents?

(b) What could she not understand?

5. (a) What was the attraction for Catriona at one of the stalls?

(b) What was for sale at this stall?

6. What details are given about the way in which she started her Audrey

Hepburn collection?

7. What does the sentence “’S i Catrìona as motha a bhiodh a’ ceannach”

(towards the end of the passage) tell us about Catriona’s change of attitude to antiques fairs?

8. Give details of the other items she collects.

Leugh an earrann gu h-ìosal agus freagair na ceistean a leanas i.

Read the paragraph below and answer the questions which follow it.

Is fìor thoigh leam a bhith a’ togail dhealbhan, gu h-àraidh nuair a tha mi a’ coimhead rèisean ralaidh. Tha mi air na mìltean de dhealbhan a thogail.

Tha e cudromach àite freagarrach fhaighinn airson dealbhan matha a ghlacadh.

Bheir dealbh aig a’ mhionaid cheart, bhon t-sealladh cheart, beachd math do neach mun astar a tha an càr a’ siubhail. Innsidh dealbh math cuideachd dè seòrsa aimsir a tha ann aig an àm agus staid na rathaidean aig an àm.

Aon uair, chaidh càr bun os cionn dìreach air mo bheulaibh. Is mi a’ chiad neach a bha aig a’ chàr, a’ dèanamh cinnteach gun robh an dràibhear agus an fhear-stiùiridh ceart gu leòr. Gu mìorbhaileach bha iad sin, agus b’ e a’ chiad rud a bha iad airson a dhèanamh ruith a chur a-mach an t-soidhne OK gus nach cuireadh an tubaist aca maill air na càraichean eile.

Is e cur-seachad air leth inntinneach a th’ ann a bhith a’ togail dhealbh.

Airson dealbh math a thogail feumaidh tu foighidinn, sgil agus sùil mhath agus chan eil feum agad air uidheamachd uabhasach daor, ged a chuidicheas sin uaireannan!

Read the following passage and answer the questions:

Bha athair Stephen a-riamh dèidheil air rèisean chàraichean-ralaidh. Bha

Stephen trì bliadhna deug nuair a thug athair e a choimhead a chiad ralaidh.

B’ e sin Ralaidh a’ Bhodaich-shneachda . Bidh an ralaidh sin a’ tòiseachadh ann an Inbhir Nis agus a’ dol air stèidsichean air feadh cùl rathaidean agus coilltean na Gàidhealtachd. B’ e latha fuar Earraich le frasan sneachda agus chlach-mhealain a bh’ ann. Feumaidh luchd-amhairc nan rèisean a bhith ann an deagh àm airson àite math fhaighinn airson na càraichean fhaicinn a’ dol seachad. Mar sin bidh iad uaireannan nan seasamh airson ùine mhòr anns an fhuachd a’ feitheamh. Sin mar a bha an latha ud agus bha eagal air athair

Stephen gun saoileadh Stephen gur e cur-seachad uabhasach dòrainneach a bha seo. Ach cha leigeadh e leas. Nuair a thòisich na càraichean a’ dol seachad las sùilean Stephen agus dh’fhairich e boil a’ dol troimhe. Bha na càraichean a’ siubhal aig astar – abair fuaim! Theab feadhainn aca a dhol far an rathaid – bha sin math! Bha e dìreach sgoinneil fhèin! A-mach à seo leotha chun an ath stèids. Bha Stephen air a bheò ghlacadh!

’S iomadh ralaidh a tha e fhèin agus athair air frithealadh bhon latha ud.

Bidh iad a’ togail mòran dhealbhan de na rèisean cuideachd. Mar sin, tha an dà chur-seachad a’ dol an lùib a chèile – dràibheadh-ralaidh agus togail dhealbhan.

Tha Stephen a-nis fichead bliadhna agus ag ionnsachadh a bhith na dhotair.

Ach tha e fhathast air a bheò-ghlacadh le rèisean chàraichean-ralaidh agus

’s e miann a chridhe gum bi e fhèin a’ dràibheadh anns na rèisean sin. Tha mi cinnteach gun dèan e sin cuideachd.

A bharrachd air na h-òrain againn fhèin, bidh sinn a’ seinn òran le còmhlain-roc ainmeil mar Bon Jovi agus Metallica. Bidh mi a’ cur seachad mòran ùine a’ coimhead DVDan de na còmhlain sin airson gum bi fios agam ciamar a bhios na seinneadairean a’ gluasad nuair a tha iad air an àrd-ùrlar.

An-dràsta, tha sinn a’ coinneachadh a h-uile feasgar Dimàirt an dèidh na sgoile. Thuirt m’ athair gum faod sinn cluich anns a’ gharaids ach feumar fhàgail sgiobalta nuair a bhios sinn deiseil! Cuideachd, chan fhaod sinn cluich ro anmoch oir bidh na nàbaidhean a’ gearan.

Ann an seachdain no dhà, tha dùil againn pàirt a ghabhail anns an fharpais

‘Blàr nan Còmhlan’ anns an sgoil againn. Cheannaich sinn lèintean-T ùra airson seo, feadhainn dubha leis an ainm againn ann an litrichean mòra, dearga. Thuirt mo mhàthair, “Feumaidh tu d’ fhalt a ghearradh, a Phòil.”

“Carson?” thuirt mi. “ ’S toil leamsa falt fada agus tha mi coma dè tha daoine eile a’ smaoineachadh.”



APPENDIX 1

Sgitheadh Thall-thairis

Transcript

Pàirt a h-aon

Chaidh buidheann bheag bhon Chlub-Sgithidh againn dhan Ostair aig saorlàithean na Càisge an-uiridh. Uile-gu-lèir, bha dusan againn ann agus abair gun robh ceala-deug math aig a h-uile duine!

Pàirt a dhà

An toiseach, bha sinn a’ fuireach ann an ostail bheag faisg air Innsbruck –

àite a tha math dha-rìribh airson sgitheadh. Bha ceathrar againn nach robh air a bhith a’ sgitheadh a-riamh roimhe ach dh’ionnsaich sinn gu math luath.

Agus tha mi toilichte a ràdh nach do bhris duine sam bith a chnàmhan.

Pàirt a trì

An dàrna seachdain, ghluais sinn gu Kitzbuhel, seann bhaile eile ann an

Tyrol. A thuilleadh air sgitheadh, bha a h-uile sèorsa cur-seachad aig an

Ionad-Spòrs seo. Bha cothrom ann air teanas, marcachd, scuais, goilf, snàmh agus coiseachd

Pàirt a ceithir

A h-uile madainn, bha sinn a’ coiseachd anns na beanntan airson uair a thìde.

Abair seallaidhean àlainn le coilltean agus beanntan agus aibhnichean air a h-uile taobh. Bha an t-adhar cho glan agus cho fallain agus bha sinn gu math acrach a’ tilleadh air ais don ostail.

Pàirt a còig

Nuair a thill sinn air ais don sgoil an dèidh nan saor-làithean, thòisich sinn air club ùr – club airson coiseachd agus sreap anns na beanntan brèagha a tha againn fhèin ann an Alba. Tha fichead sgoilear agus triùir luchd-teasgaisg nam buill mu thràth!

Tapescript – Togail Dhealbh

Aithris a h-aon

Anns an dealbh seo chì sibh an càr a chaidh bun os cionn.

Tha an dealbh a’ sealltainn cho taiceil ’s cho càirdeil agus a tha luchd-amhairc nan rèisean-ralaidh. Seall mar a tha iad deiseil gus an an càr a chur air ais air a chuibhlichean.

Aithris a dhà

Tha an dealbh seo a’ toirt dhuinn beachd air an astar a tha an càr seo a’ siubhail. Chì sinn an dust ag èirigh bho na cuibhlichean. Tuigidh sinn gu bheil an latha tioram.

Aithris a trì

Bhon dealbh seo tuigidh sinn gu bheil an latha fliuch agus gu bheil an rathad làn puill. Tha am poll a’ frasadh air a’ chàr.

Aithris a ceithir

Obh! Obh! A bheil e dol a dhol na theine? Chan eil! Cha deach e na theine idir ach bha an rèis aig a’ chàr seo seachad gus an ath fharpais.

Tapescript for Oilimpigich Ainmeil Eile

Fiosrachadh A

Rugadh i air an naoidheamh latha fichead den Ghiblean, naoi ceud deug ’s a seachdad ann an ceann a deas Shasainn. ’S e lùth-chleasaiche tàlantach a bh’ innte. Bha i na neach-trèanaidh spòrs anns an arm. Bha i soirbheachail ann am farpaisean Na Roinn Eòrpa, a’ Cho-fhlaitheis agus an t-saoghail agus fhuair i an urram MBE ann an naoi ceud deug naochad sa h-ochd. Choisinn i dà bhonn òir ann an rèis ochd ceud meatar agus rèis mìle gu leth meatar, aig

Oilimpigs na h-Àithne ann an dà mhìle ’s a ceithir. Rinn sin cho fìor ainmeil i.

Fiosrachadh B

Bha a mhàthair à Alba agus athair à Nigeria. ’S e ‘Adadele’ an t-ainm a thug athair ’s a mhàthair air nuair a rugadh e ann an Lunnainn air an tritheadamh latha den Iuchar, naoi ceud deug leth-cheud ’s a h-ochd. Ghiorraich a charaidean seo gu ‘Daley’. ’S ann ann am farpaisean nan deich lùthchleasan a bha e air leth soirbheachail. Bhuannaich e naoi-deug a-mach à trithead ’s a h-aon fharpais. Fhuair e am bonn òir anns na h-Oilimpigs ann am Moscow ann an naoi ceud deug ’s a h-ochdad agus ann an Los Angeles ann an naoi ceud deug ochdad ’s a ceithir.

Fiosrachadh C

Rugadh e ann an Dùn Èideann anns a’ bhliadhna naoi ceud deug leth-cheud

’s a dhà. Aig geamannan a’ Cho-fhlaitheis ann an Edmonton, Canada ann an naoi ceud deug seachdad ’s a h-ochd choisinn e bonn òir ann an rèis ceud meatar agus bonn airgid ann an rèis dà cheud meatar. Choisinn e an dearbh rud a-rithist aig na geamannan Oilimpig ann am Moscow ann an naoi ceud deug ’s a h-ochdad. Ann am Brisbane, Àstràilia ann an naoi ceud deug ochdad ’s a dhà choisinn e bonn òir anns an dà rèis. ’S e a bhean an trèanair a bh’ aige.

Fiosrachadh D

Rugadh e air an deicheamh latha den Chèitein ann an naoi ceud deug seasgad

’s a sia. ’S e ministear a bha na athair agus tha e fhèin na Chrìosdaidh làidir.

Gu ruige naoi ceud deug naochad ’s a trì bha e gu tur an aghaidh a bhith a’ gabhail pàirt ann am farpaisean air Là na Sàbaid. Gu dearbha, chaill e cothrom pàirt a ghabhail ann an Geamannan a’ Cho-fhlaitheis ann an naoi ceud deug naochad ’s a h-aon air sgàth sin. Eadar naoi ceud deug ochdad

’s a h-ochd agus dà mhìle sa trì bhuannaich e ceathrad ’s a naoi farpaisean eadar-nàiseanta. Tha e fhathast na Chrìosdaidh làidir ach ràinig e an inbhe a b’ àirde anns an spòrs aige, na trì-leum, cuideachd.



APPENDIX 1

Fiosrachadh E

Gu cinnteach, ’s i an ruitheadair marathon boireann as fheàrr a-riamh. Rinn i ainm dhi fhèin an toiseach ann an rèisean aig astaran na bu ghiorra, trì mìle meatar, còig mìle meatar, deich mìle meatar agus leth-mharathon. Ruith i am marathon airson a’ chiad uair anns A’ Ghiblean, dà mhìle ’s a dhà ann an

Lunnainn. Bhuannaich i an rèis seo ann an dà uair a thìde, ochd mionaidean deug agus caogad ’s a sia diogan. An ceann bliadhna thug i trì mionaidean bhon ùine sin. Thagh sluagh Bhreatainn i mar lùth-chleasaiche boireann na bliadhna ceithir tursan; ann an naochad ’s a naoi, dà mhìle ’s a h-aon, dà mhìle ’s a dhà, agus dà mhìle ’s a trì.
