The mouse helped the lion then. He bit through the net and set the lion free! Chen Jie: I like that story. Kindness is never wasted. Listening Materials Conversation 2 Emma: What's your favourite story, Teng Fei? Teng Fei: Oh, I like this one. A farmer lost his horse. His neighbours said, “How unlucky!” But the farmer just said, “Maybe.” Later, his horse came back with seven other horses. People said, “That's great!” But the farmer said, “Maybe." Later, his son broke his leg when he tried to ride a horse. People said, “That's terrible!” Again, the farmer said,“Maybe.” Well, because of his leg, the son didn't have to join a war. That saved his life! Emma: I see. Unlucky things may turn out well. And good things could go wrong too. Teng Fei: Yes, you never know. What can we learn from the two stories? Reflection Kindness is never wasted. Never look down upon the weak. Kindness always pays off. ... A loss may turn out to be a gain. Every coin has two sides. Keep calm and peaceful in face of changes. ... When we read a story, what aspects should we pay attention to? setting (time and place) characters plot(故事情节) structure theme(主旨) moral(寓意) So we can retell a story from the aspects above. Once ... Later ... Then ... In the end, ... Pair Work Which story do you like more? Retell it to a partner. e.g. Once there was an old man, Saiwong. His horse ran away and neighbors thought it was bad luck, he said “Maybe”. Later, the horse returned with seven more. People cheered, but he still said “Maybe”. Then his son broke his leg riding a horse. Others felt sorry, he stayed calm with “Maybe”. Eventually, due to the broken leg, his son needn’t join a war. The story tells us misfortunes and fortunes can change and we should always keep a calm and positive attitude.​ 1e Pronunciation ch ph sh th wh /tʃ/ /f/ /ʃ/ /θ/ /ð/ /w/ /h/ chair which ______ physics elephant ______ ship fashion ______ throw maths ______ then with _____ why where ______ who whose _____ choose phone shark thank brother what whole Listen and repeat.
