Hello everyone today in English, we're going to be reading
00:05 - 00:05
the story.
00:07 - 00:10
The title of the story for this week's is kids
00:10 - 00:11
can be big helpers.
00:13 - 00:15
Now look at the title of the story.
00:15 - 00:18
What do you think the story is about?
00:20 - 00:25
Well, you think that it's talking about Children which are
00:25 - 00:29
kids and what can kids do, they can help And
00:29 - 00:32
they're not just any sort of helpers, but they can
00:32 - 00:33
really help out a lot.
00:34 - 00:35
They are big helpers.
00:37 - 00:40
Now when we're looking at this text, what do you
00:41 - 00:44
think the author is trying to do is trying to
00:44 - 00:45
persuade the reader?
00:46 - 00:51
It's using facts and opinions to convince the reader to
00:51 - 00:53
believe that Children are big helpers.
00:58 - 01:03
So persuasive text gets readers to understand and respect the
01:03 - 01:04
author's view of points.
01:06 - 01:10
Now, the author supports his or her viewpoint by using
01:11 - 01:11
facts and opinions.
01:12 - 01:15
Now, as you know, the fact is what can be
01:15 - 01:22
proved and an opinion is what the author believes as
01:22 - 01:22
the reader.
01:23 - 01:26
You get to decide if you agree or not.
01:27 - 01:30
So you get to decide if you like the story
01:30 - 01:32
or not if you agree with the author.
01:33 - 01:36
Do you think the authors correct or he's not?
01:36 - 01:42
He could be wrong right now, before we get into
01:42 - 01:46
the text, let's look at some important vocabulary words that
01:46 - 01:48
are going to be in the story.
01:49 - 01:52
Now, the first word is volunteer or volunteers.
01:53 - 01:55
Do you know the meaning of this word?
01:57 - 02:00
Well, it's people who do jobs without getting paid.
02:01 - 02:05
So you're helping out without getting a salary or without
02:05 - 02:09
getting any sort of something in return.
02:10 - 02:11
You're just doing this for free.
02:11 - 02:14
You're doing this to help out others and you don't
02:15 - 02:16
want anything back from them.
02:17 - 02:19
The next vocabulary word is skill.
02:20 - 02:21
Can you think of the word skill?
02:22 - 02:22
What does it mean?
02:24 - 02:28
Well, something a person does well, something that you're really
02:29 - 02:29
good at.
02:29 - 02:31
So let's say for example, you're a really good type
02:32 - 02:35
er, then that's your skill, let's say you're a good
02:36 - 02:40
artist, then you have skills in becoming a good painter
02:40 - 02:40
or drawer.
02:41 - 02:46
So I believe everyone has a skill, something that you
02:46 - 02:47
do very well organizing.
02:49 - 02:56
The word organizing is planning, so things run smoothly to
02:56 - 02:59
sort out things to make sure that everything is proper,
03:01 - 03:05
it's organized, it's what its needs, it's clean.
03:06 - 03:09
Okay, um, let's say you're planning an event, you're going
03:09 - 03:11
to do it in steps, so nothing can go wrong
03:12 - 03:16
or if something does go wrong, there won't be so
03:16 - 03:16
many mistakes.
03:17 - 03:18
How about participate?
03:19 - 03:23
The word participate is to join, To take part, to
03:23 - 03:30
be with someone and to volunteer, right to take part
03:30 - 03:31
of to join.
03:32 - 03:34
So participation counts.
03:35 - 03:38
When you're in class and you're participating, you are giving
03:38 - 03:43
in information, you are giving your answers, so this is
03:43 - 03:44
all part of participation.
03:46 - 03:48
Shelter shelter is a home.
03:49 - 03:53
Now a shelter can be for a long time or
03:53 - 03:56
it could be for a short time, it depends on
03:57 - 03:58
this shelter that you're in.
04:03 - 04:05
Now looking at the text, you need to understand the
04:05 - 04:09
structure now for you to understand the information, you need
04:09 - 04:11
to know what the author is trying to persuade you,
04:12 - 04:15
The author is trying to make you believe in something.
04:15 - 04:19
So when you read this text there are more than
04:19 - 04:22
320 million people living in the United States.
04:23 - 04:27
How can some, I'm sorry, how can so many people
04:27 - 04:31
get along one way is by helping each other every
04:31 - 04:34
day, millions of americans help other americans.
04:35 - 04:40
Many of these helpers are students, kids can be big
04:40 - 04:44
helpers. So what is the author trying to tell you
04:45 - 04:47
Besides americans help each other out.
04:47 - 04:53
But the most important thing is can you guess kids
04:53 - 04:54
can be big helpers.
04:55 - 04:58
So you know that the author is not just focusing
04:58 - 05:01
about americans but it's focusing about the Children in the
05:01 - 05:05
US. That Children can be big helpers now.
05:05 - 05:08
Do you believe that Children only in the U.
05:08 - 05:11
S. Can be big helpers or Children all around the
05:12 - 05:12
world can help?
05:14 - 05:15
Well that's your opinion.
05:16 - 05:19
So the author is trying to persuade you to believe
05:19 - 05:20
that kids can be a big help.
05:21 - 05:23
It is up to you if you believe it or
05:23 - 05:26
not. I hope you enjoyed this lesson and I hope
05:26 - 05:26

05:27 - 05:27
