In this lesson, we will focus on listening to a short story and discussing it as a class. Listening is important because it helps us understand what others are saying. Speaking allows us to express our thoughts and ideas clearly. We will also practice writing sentences with correct punctuation and spacing.

Let’s listen to a short story about a boy named Thabo who finds a lost puppy. After listening, we will discuss what happened in the story. For example, we can ask: 'What did Thabo do when he found the puppy?' This helps us practice our listening and speaking skills.

After listening to the story, I will ask you some questions. For instance, 'How did Thabo feel when he found the puppy?' I want you to raise your hand to answer. Remember to speak clearly and use full sentences. This will help us practice our speaking skills together.

Now, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, if you like cats, you might write: 'I have a cat. It is very playful. I love my cat.' After writing, you can share your sentences with a partner.
