Wise old tree, my friend the nightingale has a lovely voice. She sings so well. Without any doubt, she will be a singer in a few years. I have a loud voice. But when I sing, everyone will laugh at me.
But you’re beautiful. Your feathers are colourful.
What can I do in the future? Can I be a singer?
Not everyone will be a singer. You can be a good dancer with your beautiful feathers and dancing skills. Different people are good at different things. The elephant is strong. The monkey is clever. The tiger jumps far. Everyone is unique.
It’s very kind of you to say those words to me. I feel better now. Thank you, wise old tree!

Use your imagination (想象力) and add an ending (结尾) to the story.
Later, the peacock practises dancing every day. When the art festival comes, he gives a good dance. Everyone loves his dance, and he feels proud of himself!
Later, when other animals worry about their weak points, the peacock always helps them find their own strong points. All the animals in the forest become happier than before because
they know they are unique.
17
How do you understand everyone has some strong points?
Everyone is unique. Do not compare (比较) yourself with others. .
We can make ourselves better by developing our strong points. Everyone has talents. We should try to find our own strong points.
It’s OK to be not perfect (完美的). We should learn to be happy with who we are.
Think and discuss
这里要做成讨论式的,把2张PPT内容结合
18
lf you feel others’ abilities are better than yours, what will you do?
Comparing with others is useless. It’s important to accept our weak points as well as our strong points. Try to find my own unique talents and try my best to make them better day by day.
Everyone has different talents. Don’t focus on what we can’t do well, we should pay more attention to the unique talents we have and
make them better and better.
