Solution: These answers are based on personal experience. Students should answer based on their own visits and observations.

• Yes, I have visited a zoo. For example, I went to the zoo when I was 6 years old.
• In the zoo, I have seen animals like a tiger, a lion, a giraffe, an elephant, and monkeys. (Students should list animals they have personally seen and say their names in their own language and English).
• My favorite animal was the monkey because it was very playful and copied my actions. For instance, when I danced, the monkey also danced in a similar way.
• Yes, I fed a giraffe at the zoo. No, we should never tease animals. We must always treat them with kindness and care.

Solution: This is a listening activity to be done with your teacher. You need to listen carefully to the words your teacher says and put a tick mark ($\backslash checkmark$) in the box next to the correct word. For example, if the teacher says 'think', you tick the box next to 'think'.

Words to listen for:

• it / at
• think / thank
• fun / fan
• much / match
• well / wall

Disclaimer: This is a creative activity meant to be done with your teacher. Students have to listen to their teacher very carefully and tick the word in front of the box given.

Solution: Let's practice saying these words aloud to understand their sounds:

• bump
• hump
• dump

These words have similar ending sounds but different beginning sounds. Pay attention to the difference between 'b', 'h', and 'd' at the start of each word.
