In this lesson, we will focus on the importance of listening and speaking in our daily lives. Listening helps us understand others, while speaking allows us to express our thoughts clearly. We will listen to a short story and discuss its main ideas. After that, we will practice speaking by sharing our own stories and ideas with classmates.
Let's look at the sentence: 'The dog runs fast.' Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Now, if we want to add more detail, we can say: 'The big dog runs very fast in the park.' Here, we added more information while keeping the correct punctuation. Remember, every sentence should start with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark.
I will read a short story about a boy named Thabo who finds a lost puppy. As I read, listen carefully and think about what happens in the story. After I finish, I will ask you some questions to see what you remember. Pay attention to the details, as they will help you answer the questions correctly.
