Dinner is ready

The family eats dinner at six o’clock every evening. Mother cooks the food in the kitchen. Father comes home from work and washes his hands. Budi and Siti help their mother. They put the plates, glasses and spoons on the table.

When dinner is ready, Mother calls the family. Everyone sits at the table. Mother puts the food on the plates. The family often eats rice, vegetables and fish or chicken. They drink water with their meal.

Budi eats quickly because he likes playing football after dinner. Siti eats slowly and talks about her day at school. Father asks the children about their lessons. Mother listens and smiles.

After dinner, everyone helps to clean the table. Father washes the plates, and Budi dries them. Siti puts the spoons and glasses away. Mother cleans the kitchen.

Then the family sits together for a short time. Budi plays with the cat, and Siti draws a picture. At seven o’clock, the children do their homework.

Remember how babies
learn a language:

Babies learn a language by listening.
They use their ears to hear sounds.
Their brain remembers these sounds.
Babies connect sounds with people and things.
They listen to their parents.
Then they copy the sounds they hear. They imitate words.
Slowly, babies learn to speak.

So,
LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN………………
