The topic of this lesson introduces English in an international context as a medium used by children all around the world to communicate. There are short listening and reading texts about students on different continents, as well as vocabulary and speaking games. The language is quite basic, and the tasks are not very challenging to introduce a pleasant, non-threatening atmosphere and to make the students feel confident about using English. As a result, the students should feel motivated to continue on their learning adventure. (by I. Rybak)

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Busama (a girl): This is our music room. There are no chairs because in Thailand traditional musicians sit on the floor. Music is my favorite subject. I play the saw duang. It looks like a tall violin. I’m not good at sports or maths. I prefer reading and history. I have two younger brothers. I am thirteen years old, and they are only six and eight, so I am their big sister. In our school boys and girls wear the same uniforms. You can see them in the photo. Trousers are very comfortable, but I prefer to wear a dress when it is very hot. In Thailand it is hot all year and it rains a lot, especially in August and September. I don’t like rain.
Gatimu (a boy): In Kenya, the weather is very nice. It is never very hot or very cold. That’s why we don’t need to be inside a building all the time. I like school and our teacher. My favorite subject is English and computer science. We have a computer room, but the Internet is not very good. I love listening to birds and I like it when it rains. After school, I play football with my friends or help my father with the cows. We have to keep them safe from lions. I am the only son who lives in the village. My big brothers live in Nairobi and my sister lives in Sudan with her husband. She is 13 years older than me.
