Two goats live near a river.
One goat is big. One goat is small.

There is a small bridge over the river. Only one goat can walk on it at a time.

One day, the big goat walks on the bridge. At the same time, the small goat walks from the other side. They meet in the middle.

The big goat says, “Move! I am big and strong.”
The small goat says, “Please do not be proud. We can both cross.”

Both goats are proud. They push each other.

They lose balance and fall into the cold river. Splash!

They swim to the shore. They are wet and cold.

The lesson: Never be proud.

Saxon genitive (’s) –
showing possession

The Saxon genitive shows that something belongs to someone. We add ’s to a name or noun.

Basic rule:

👉 person/animal + ’s + thing

Examples:

• John’s book = the book belongs to John
• Anna’s bag = the bag belongs to Anna
• The cat’s food = the food belongs to the cat

If the name ends in -s (like James):

We still usually add ’s:

• James’s book = the book belongs to James
• James’s car = the car belongs to James

Plural nouns:

If the word is plural and already ends in -s, we just add an apostrophe ’:

• the boys’ room = the room of the boys
• the teachers’ office = the office of the teachers

Easy way to remember:

Instead of saying “the book of John”, we say:
👉 John’s book

If you want, I can also give you a short quiz to practice it.

The black panther is a big and strong wild animal. It is very beautiful and very fast. The black panther is not a different kind of animal. It is a leopard or a jaguar with black color. The black color comes from the skin and the fur. Sometimes, if the sun is bright, you can see spots on its body. These spots are like the normal leopard or jaguar.

Black panthers live in warm places. They live in forests and jungles. Some live in Africa, some in Asia, and some in South America. They like places with many trees. Trees are important for them. Panthers can climb trees and hide from danger. They also rest in trees during the day.

The black panther is a

carnivore.
This means it eats meat. It eats animals like deer, birds, and small animals. The black panther is a very good hunter. It hunts mostly at night. At night, it can see very well. Its black color helps it hide in the dark. When it moves quietly, other animals do not see it.

The black panther is very fast and strong. It can run quickly and jump far. It can also climb very high. Sometimes, it jumps from tree to tree. It is very quiet. It does not make much noise. But when it wants, it can roar. Its roar is very loud. It uses the roar to protect its home or to scare other animals.

Black panthers usually live alone. They do not live in groups like lions. They meet other panthers only to have babies. A baby panther is called a cub. The mother panther takes care of her cubs. She teaches them how to hunt and how to live in the forest. Cubs stay with their mother for a long time. Then, they go to live alone.

The black panther is important for nature. It helps keep the forest alive. It controls the number of other animals. Without black panthers, some animals can eat too much food and destroy the forest.

Today, black panthers are in danger. People cut the forests to build houses and roads. This is called deforestation. It is very bad for panthers. Some people also hunt black panthers for their fur. This is illegal in many countries, but it still happens. We must protect the black panther and its home.

In conclusion, the black panther is a beautiful, strong, and smart animal. It is quiet, fast, and powerful. It lives in forests and jungles, hunts at night, and climbs trees very well. We should respect black panthers and protect the forests where they live.

Vocabulary:

The cheetah is a beautiful and interesting animal. It is a wild animal and it lives in nature. The cheetah is famous because it is the fastest land animal in the world. Many people like the cheetah because it is strong, fast, and elegant.

The cheetah lives mainly in Africa. Some cheetahs also live in parts of Asia, but they are very rare there. Cheetahs like open places such as grasslands and savannas. These places are good for running and hunting. The cheetah needs a lot of space to live and move freely.

The cheetah has a slim body and long legs. Its body is made for speed. It has a small head and a long tail. The tail helps the cheetah keep balance when it runs. The cheetah has yellow fur with black spots all over its body. These spots help the cheetah hide in the grass. The cheetah also has black lines on its face. These lines go from the eyes to the mouth and help protect its eyes from the sun.

The cheetah eats meat. It is a

carnivore.

It hunts animals like deer, rabbits, and small antelopes. The cheetah hunts during the day. It uses its strong legs and fast speed to catch its prey. The cheetah can run very fast, up to 100 kilometers per hour, but only for a short time. After running, the cheetah needs to rest because it gets tired quickly.

_______________

Cheetahs usually live alone, but sometimes they live in small groups. A mother cheetah lives with her babies. She takes care of them and teaches them how to hunt. Baby cheetahs are called cubs. They are very cute and playful. The mother protects them from danger.

Today, cheetahs are in danger. There are not many cheetahs left in the world. People destroy their homes and hunt animals that cheetahs eat. Because of this, cheetahs cannot find enough food or safe places to live. Many organizations work to protect cheetahs and their habitats.

In conclusion, the cheetah is an amazing animal. It is fast, beautiful, and important for nature. We should learn about cheetahs and help protect them. Saving cheetahs means saving nature and the future of our planet.

Good luck!

PRESENT CONTINUOUS

1. When to use it (Present Continuous = “-ing” form)

We use the present continuous to talk about things that are happening right now, at the moment of speaking, at this moment.

Examples:

• I am eating. (I am eating now.)
• She is reading a book. (She is reading now.)
• They are playing football. (They are playing now.)

2. How to form it

Formula:

Subject + be + verb + -ing

Step 1: Use the right form of be

• I → am
• He / She / It → is
• You / We / They → are

Step 2: Add verb + -ing

3. How to make -ing verbs (rules)

1. Normal verbs: just add -ing

• eat → eating
• play → playing
• read → reading

2. Verbs ending with -e: remove -e and add -ing

• make → making
• write → writing
• dance → dancing

3. One-syllable verbs with one vowel + one consonant: double the last consonant and add -ing

• run → running
• sit → sitting
• swim → swimming

4. Verbs ending with -ie: change -ie to -y and add -ing

• lie → lying
• die → dying
