Reading Practice:
- an egg (a round object laid by a hen)
- an engine (a machine that makes vehicles move)
- an elephant (a large animal with a trunk)

Key Learning: We use 'an' before words starting with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u). All three words here start with 'e', so we say 'an egg', 'an engine', 'an elephant'.

Given: Three pictures with words — a pen, a pencil, a bell.

- a pencil (used for writing or drawing)
- a bell (makes a ringing sound)

Key Learning: The vowel sound 'e' appears in the middle of pen, pencil, and bell. We use 'a' before words starting with a consonant.

Given: This is a speaking and listening activity involving family interaction.

Sample Answer (to be spoken in class):

My grandmother told me about a game called 'Gilli-Danda'. In this game, a small stick called 'gilli' is placed on the ground. A bigger stick called 'danda' is used to hit the gilli and make it fly as far as possible. The other players try to catch the gilli. It is played outdoors and needs no expensive equipment. My grandmother said she used to play it every evening with her friends in the village. I think it is a very clever and fun game!

Note: Students should listen carefully to their parents or grandparents and try to describe the game in their own words using simple English sentences.
