Listening and Speaking

Let’s listen.

Kamini and Idith are discussing how to select interesting books to read.

My father promised to take me to the Big
Book Fair this weekend.
I went there last weekend. There were many
different types of books. I bought ten books there.

Kamini, how do you know if the books are interesting?

It’s easy, Idith. First choose your favourite genre.
Then read the synopsis or gist of the story. It’s on the
back of the book. If you find it interesting, then buy it.

Wow! That sounds simple. Thanks, Kamini.
Genre: A particular
style of literature, art,
film or music that has
Let’s talk. its special feature.

Which story would you choose to read, Asin? Why?

I would choose Jack and the Beanstalk
because the story is exciting and interesting.
It is full of magic and suspense. I wish
I could have the magic beans so that
I could be as adventurous as Jack.

Which is your favourite book? Why?

Little Red Goldilocks
Riding Hood forest Rosemary
bad wolf eat porridge monsters
