Explanation

The value: let others work. If a friend wants to do a job alone, do not hurry or take it from their hands. To ask for a volunteer: “Who wants to wash the board?” Answer: “I do!” or “I don’t. I’m not good at it.” “I do” means “I want to” (we do not repeat the verb). Sounds: oy and oi are read the same: boy, toy, enjoy; coin, oil, soil.

Worked examples
Who wants to water the flowers? I do!
Who wants to sing? I don’t, but I can play the drum.
Class activity
