Explanation
People have different jobs. A farmer grows food. A cook makes meals. A driver takes people to places. A teacher helps children to learn. A nurse helps people who are sick. Every job is important because we need each other. If nobody picked up the rubbish, our streets would be dirty. We can say thank you to the people who work for us.
Worked examples
The farmer grows wheat. The wheat becomes flour, and flour becomes bread.
The bus driver takes children to school every morning.
The cleaner keeps the street tidy. Mina says, “Thank you!”
Class activity
Job interview. Ask a grown-up what their job is. Ask: “What do you do? Which tools do you use? Who do you help?” Draw them at work. Say thank you.
