    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.

    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
    1. Verbs ending with -e: remove -e and add -ing
    • make → making
    • write → writing
    • dance → dancing
    1. One-syllable verbs with one vowel + one consonant: double the last consonant and add -ing
    • run → running
    • sit → sitting
    • swim → swimming
    1. Verbs ending with -ie: change -ie to -y and add -ing
    • lie → lying
    • die → dying

    Quick tip:

    • Words like now, at the moment, today often show we use present continuous.
    • Don’t forget -ing at the end of the verb!

    The speech:

    (1) Hello everyone. My name is Tak. Today I want to talk about working at the front desk of a hotel. The front desk is the first place that guests see when they come to the hotel. It is an important job because you help guests feel welcome.

    A front desk worker greets guests, helps them with their rooms, and answers questions. They are the first person guests meet, so it is important to be friendly and polite. You also give information about the hotel, like breakfast times, the pool, or the Wi-Fi.

    In my speech, I will explain three things: first, the qualities a front desk worker needs; second, the main tasks they do every day; and third, the do’s and don’ts to be a good worker. I hope you enjoy my speech and learn something about this job.

    ———–

    (2) A front desk worker is the first person that guests see when they come to the hotel. This means they make the first impression, so it is very important to be friendly and polite.

    When guests arrive, a front desk worker greets them with a smile and says hello. They help guests check in by giving them the room key and explaining important information about the hotel.

    At the end of the stay, they help guests check out. This includes taking the keys and making sure everything is correct.

    A front desk worker also answers questions from guests. Guests may ask about the hotel, the city, or services like breakfast, the pool, or Wi-Fi. The worker solves problems and helps guests so they have a good stay.

    In short, the front desk worker helps guests, gives information, and makes sure guests are happy and comfortable during their stay.

    ———–


    (3) To work at the front desk of a hotel, you need some important qualities. These qualities help you do your job well and make guests happy.

    A front desk worker must be friendly. Smile and be nice to guests. Say hello and make them feel welcome. A friendly worker makes guests feel happy and comfortable.

    Being polite is very important. Use polite words like ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’ Always speak nicely to guests, even if they are upset. Polite workers give a good impression of the hotel.

    Patience is very important. Sometimes guests have many questions or problems. A patient worker stays calm and listens carefully. Do not shout or get angry. Answer questions slowly and clearly. Patience helps solve problems and makes guests feel comfortable.

    A front desk worker must be organized. Keep the desk clean and tidy. Write notes to remember bookings and requests. Being organized helps the work run smoothly and makes it easy to help guests quickly.

    Good communication is very important. Speak clearly and listen carefully to guests. Make sure you understand what the guest wants. Good communication helps guests feel understood and happy.”


    ———–

    (4) A front desk worker starts the day by greeting guests. When guests come to the hotel, the worker smiles and says hello. This makes guests feel welcome and comfortable. A friendly greeting is very important because it is the first contact with the guest.

    One important task is to check guests in. This means giving guests their room key or key card. The worker explains where the room is and gives simple information, such as the floor number or how to use the key. The worker may also explain hotel rules or times for breakfast.

    Another task is to check guests out. When guests leave the hotel, the worker takes the room key and asks if everything was fine. The worker says goodbye and thanks the guests for staying at the hotel. This helps guests leave with a good feeling.

    A front desk worker also answers the phone. Guests may call to ask questions or to book a room. The worker listens carefully and speaks clearly. Answering the phone politely is very important because it shows good service.

    Giving information is also part of the job. Guests often ask about breakfast time, the pool, or the Wi-Fi. The worker gives clear and simple answers. This helps guests enjoy their stay and feel relaxed.

    Finally, a front desk worker handles guest requests. Guests may ask for extra towels, room cleaning, or help booking a taxi. The worker listens and helps as quickly as possible. Helping with requests shows that the hotel cares about its guests.


    ——————–

    (5) There are some important rules to follow when working at the front desk of a hotel. These rules help the worker do a good job and help guests feel happy and safe.

    It is important to smile and be polite. A smile makes guests feel welcome. Using polite words like “please” and “thank you” shows respect. Polite behavior gives a good image of the hotel.

    A front desk worker must listen to guests carefully. Guests may have questions, problems, or requests. Listening helps the worker understand what the guest needs. When guests feel heard, they feel more comfortable.

    It is also important to be helpful and patient. Some guests may be tired or unhappy. A good worker stays calm and tries to help. Being patient makes it easier to solve problems.

    Keeping the desk clean and organized is very important. A clean desk looks professional. Writing things down and keeping papers in order helps the worker remember bookings and requests.

    There are also things a front desk worker must not do. Do not shout or argue with guests. This can make guests angry or uncomfortable. Always stay calm and speak politely.

    A worker should never ignore guests. If a guest is waiting, the worker should say something and help as soon as possible. Ignoring guests makes them feel unimportant.

    A front desk worker should not be lazy or unhelpful. Guests come to the desk because they need help. A good worker always tries to help, even with small things.

    Finally, it is important not to forget to write down important information. Writing notes helps avoid mistakes. It helps the worker remember guest requests and important details.

    Detective Ben is at Mrs. Green’s house.

    Three people are there: Tom, Lily, and Jack.

    Ben looks around.

    His shoes are dry.

    Lily says, “I water the flowers outside.”
    Her shoes are wet.

    Jack says, “I make a cup of tea. I sit here.”
    His shoes are dry.

    Ben looks at the door.
    The puddle is small.
    The floor near the table is dry.

    Ben thinks.
    Who goes outside? Who has wet shoes?
    The keys are near the door, not the table.

    Ben smiles.
    “Lily,” he says.
    “You go outside. You put the keys on the bench. Then they fell in the puddle.”

    Lily looks surprised.
    “Yes,” she says. “I forgot them there.”

    Why Lily?

    Step 1: List the clues

    1. Keys missing from the table – initial problem.
    2. Puddle near the door – something happened near the door.
    3. Chair moved – someone interacted with the area.
    4. Shoes wet / dry – shows who was outside.

      • Jack: dry
    5. Table clean except a cup of tea – keys are not on the table.
    6. Floor near table is dry – keys aren’t on the table, hints they went somewhere else.

    Step 2: Analyze the statements

    • Tom: inside, shoes dry → probably didn’t go outside.
    • Jack: inside, shoes dry → also probably didn’t go outside.
    • Lily: outside watering flowers, shoes wet → she went outside, near the door/puddle.

    Step 3: Look at the location of the keys

    • The keys were not on the table, where they normally are.
    • There is a puddle near the door → keys probably fell there.

    Step 4: Combine clues

    • Only Lily went outside (wet shoes).
    • Puddle near the door and moved chair indicate someone interacted with the door area.
    • Keys ended up in the puddle → Lily must have carried or moved them.

    Conclusion:

    • Lily is the culprit.
    • She went outside with the keys, forgot them on the bench, and they fell into the puddle.

    The Case of the Stolen Money

    Detective Anna is in a small town. Today, she has a new case. Someone stole money from Mr. Green.

    Mr. Green says: “I put 100 dollars on the table. Now it is gone! I need help.”

    There are three people in the house:

    1. Tom, the gardener. He works in the garden all day.
    2. Lily, the cook. She cooks food for Mr. Green.
    3. Sam, the cleaner. He cleans the house every day.

    Detective Anna asks them questions.

    • Tom says: “I work outside. I do not see the money.”
    • Lily says: “I cook in the kitchen. I do not take money.”
    • Sam says: “I clean the house. I see nothing. I do not take money.”

    Anna looks for clues. She sees:

    • The table is near the window. The window is open.
    • There are footprints on the floor. Big footprints.
    • There is a small piece of chocolate on the table.
    • A chair is near the window. The chair has dust under it.

    Anna asks more questions:

    • Tom wears big shoes. Lily wears small shoes. Sam wears medium shoes.
    • Tom does not eat chocolate. Lily eats chocolate every day. Sam eats chocolate sometimes.
    • Tom is tall. Lily is short. Sam is medium height.

    Anna thinks carefully. She looks at the footprints. They are big. She looks at the chocolate. Someone ate it. She looks at the chair. The dust is moved.

    Anna says: “The person who stole the money is near the table. The person left big footprints. The person eats chocolate.”

    Who stole the money?

    #################

    You got it? You solved the case?

    We have three suspects:

    1. Tom – big shoes, does not eat chocolate, works outside.
    2. Lily – small shoes, eats chocolate every day, works in the kitchen.
    3. Sam – medium shoes, eats chocolate sometimes, cleans the house.

    Clues:

    • Footprints on the floor are big → matches Tom.
    • There is chocolate eaten → matches Lily and Sam, not Tom.
    • Table is near the window, chair moved, dust moved → person was near the table and window.

    Now combine:

    • The thief left big footprints → Tom.
    • The thief ate chocolate → only Lily or Sam.

    Notice the conflict: Tom has big shoes but does not eat chocolate.
    The chocolate clue shows the thief ate chocolate, so it is not Tom.
    Sam’s shoes are medium → footprints too small.
    Lily’s shoes are small → footprints too small.

    But the footprints are big, and someone ate chocolate → this is tricky!

    Look at the text carefully:

    • The footprints were big and the chocolate was on the table, not necessarily eaten by the thief.
    • The chocolate clue says: “There is a small piece of chocolate on the table.”
    • Tom does not eat chocolate, but the chocolate is left there → it’s not about eating, just a clue to the table.

    So the main clues for the thief:

    1. Big footprints → Tom.
    2. Near the table / window / chair → yes, Tom could reach it.
    3. Chocolate is just a distraction.

    Solution: Tom stole the money.

    Why:

    • Only Tom has big shoes, which match the footprints.
    • The thief must have been near the table → the window is open, footprints lead from the table → Tom had access.
    • The chocolate clue was meant to distract the reader.

    _____________________

    Vocabulary:

    • a suspect → a person who might have done something wrong
    • to match somebody/something → to look good together or be the same as something

    The Missing Necklace

    It is Monday morning. Detective Kim is in her office. Suddenly, Mrs. Lee comes in.

    “My necklace is gone!” she says. “It was on the table in my living room.”

    Detective Kim asks some questions.

    “Who was in your house yesterday?”
    Mrs. Lee thinks. “My son, my daughter, and the neighbor came.”

    Detective Kim goes to the house. She sees three people:

    • The son says, “I was in my room all day.” He looks nervous.
    • The daughter says, “I helped my mother in the kitchen.” She smiles.
    • The neighbor says, “I was reading in the garden.” She looks calm.

    Detective Kim looks at the table. She sees:

    • A cup of tea.
    • A small footprint.
    • A pen.

    Detective Kim asks, “Who is the necklace for?”
    Mrs. Lee says, “It is very small. Only a woman can wear it.”

    Detective Kim thinks. She asks one question again: “Who wears shoes in the house?”

    • The son always wears shoes.
    • The daughter does not wear shoes.
    • The neighbor wears shoes.

    Detective Kim smiles. She knows who took the necklace.

    ##############

    Solve the case:


    The thief is the daughter.

    Detective Hana thinks carefully:

    1. The sofa is in the living room. The daughter says, “I was reading in the living room.” This is the same place as the purse. She had the opportunity.
    2. The friend is in the kitchen. She drinks tea. She is far from the sofa. She cannot take the purse easily.
    3. The cleaner cleans the bathroom and kitchen. She does not touch the living room much.
    4. The pen is on the floor. The daughter writes sometimes. The friend and cleaner do not write. This is a clue that the daughter was near the sofa.
    5. The rings: Only women wear rings. The cleaner does not wear rings, so she is less likely to take something from Mrs. Park, who is a woman.
    6. The daughter looks calm. But sometimes, when people are nervous, they try to look calm.

    All the clues together show:

    • The daughter was near the purse.
    • She can write, like the pen clue.
    • She wears rings, like Mrs. Park mentioned.
    • The other people cannot reach or do not match the clues.

    Detective Hana asks the daughter again. She admits: “I took the purse. I wanted to see the phone. I am sorry.”

    The case is solved. The purse goes back to Mrs. Park.
