Explanation

A listening lesson. The teacher reads the text below twice while children listen with books closed. The first time we get the general idea; the second time we catch details (numbers, colors, animal names). Then we answer “True” or “False”.

Worked examples
“At the zoo”. Today we are at the zoo. I can see two big elephants. They are gray. There is a lion near the tree. It is sleeping. I can see three monkeys on the grass. They are eating bananas. I like the zoo!
True or false? There are three elephants. — False. There are two elephants.
Class activity
