It is 8:00 in the morning, and the students are in their classroom. The classroom is small but bright. There is a big window, and the sun is shining outside. There are twelve desks and chairs. A teacher is standing at the front of the room. His name is Mr. Smith. He is kind, and he always smiles.
“Good morning, everyone!” Mr. Smith says.
“Good morning, Mr. Smith,” the students reply.
Mr. Smith holds up a book and says, “This is our new English book. Please take out your books.”
The students open their backpacks and take out their books. Emma, a new student, looks confused. She raises her hand.
“Yes, Emma?” Mr. Smith asks.
“I don’t have the book. I’m sorry,” Emma says.
“That’s okay, Emma. You can share with Anna today,” Mr. Smith says. He points to Anna. Anna smiles and moves her book to the middle of the desk.
“Thank you, Anna,” Emma says.
“You’re welcome,” Anna replies.
Mr. Smith writes on the board. “This is a chair,” he says, pointing to a chair. “That is a desk,” he adds, pointing to a desk near the back of the classroom.
Then, he picks up two markers. “These are markers,” he says. He points to a pencil on his desk. “And those are pencils.”
The students repeat the words: “chair, desk, markers, pencils.”
Later, Mr. Smith gives the students an exercise. “Look around the room,” he says. “What is this?” He holds up a ruler.
“That is a ruler!” says Tom.
“Very good, Tom!” Mr. Smith says.
Then, Mr. Smith points to a map on the wall. “What is that?”
“It’s a map!” says Sara.
“Yes, very good!” Mr. Smith says.
While the students work, Emma raises her hand again.
“Yes, Emma?”
“Can you help me, please?” she asks. “I don’t understand this exercise.”
Mr. Smith walks to Emma’s desk. “Of course. Let’s look at it together,” he says. He explains the exercise slowly.
“Oh, now I understand. Thank you!” Emma says.
“You’re welcome, Emma,” Mr. Smith replies.
The students finish their work, and Mr. Smith checks the answers. “Good job, everyone,” he says. “Now, let’s practice speaking. Find a partner.”
Emma and Anna work together. Emma points to a book. “What is this?” she asks.
“It’s a book,” Anna replies.
Emma points to a bag on the floor. “What is that?”
“That is my bag,” Anna says.
“Good job!” says Mr. Smith. “Now, switch roles.”
At the end of class, Mr. Smith says, “Let’s clean up the classroom before we go.”
Tom picks up some papers on the floor. He trips and drops the papers. “I’m sorry!” Tom says.
“It’s okay,” Sara says. She helps Tom pick up the papers.
“Thank you, Sara,” Tom says.
“You’re welcome,” Sara replies.
The bell rings, and the students pack their bags.
“See you tomorrow, class!” Mr. Smith says.
“See you tomorrow, Mr. Smith!” the students say.
The classroom is quiet again, ready for another day of learning.
