isiNdebele Home Language - Term 3 - Week 7

Listening and speaking are important skills that help us communicate with others. In this lesson, we will listen to a short story and then talk about it. We will learn how to express our thoughts clearly and use proper punctuation when we write sentences.

Let's read a short story together: 'UThandiwe uhlala edolobheni. Uthanda ukudlala nezingane.' After reading, we will discuss what Thandiwe likes to do and where she lives. This will help us understand how to listen carefully and respond appropriately.

Now, I want you to turn to your partner and discuss the story we just read. Ask each other questions like, 'UThandiwe uthanda ini?' and 'Uthanda ukudlala nabani?' This will help you practice speaking and listening to your friends.

On your own, write three sentences about what you like to do. Remember to use capital letters at the beginning and a full stop at the end of each sentence. For example, 'Ngithanda ukudlala.' After writing, share your sentences with the class.
