Birthday Presents

Learning English with Early Bird

Learning English

Quoted from Teacher's Guide 1 page 63

Hari ulang tahun seorang siswa suatu kelas merupakan sebuah kesempatan yang sesuai untuk berbicara mengenai ritual, ucapan selamat, perayaan dan hadiah. Jika mungkin bisa juga pada kesempatan ini dirancang sebuah undangan dalam bentuk gambar. Tetapi secara pasti akan dibicarakan juga mengenai hadiah yang berupa toys. Sebagai perkenalan ke tema guru menceritakan sebuah cerita pendek.

Alice and Oliver are sister and brother. They are twins. Do you know what twins are? Twins are born on the same day, so their birthday is on the same day. Do we have twins in our class? Twins can be sister and sister or sister and brother or brother and brother. Now, listen carefully to the story about Alice and Oliver.

Guru membacakan cerita itu dengan memainkan berbagai peran. Siswa sudah mempunyai lembar-lembar kerja di hadapan masing-masing.

Birthday Presents

Alice and Oliver are twins. Today is their birthday. They have invited some friends: Mike, Anne and Jason.

Alice: "I want to open my presents. I'll open the big one first. Oh, great. It's a big doll. Thank you, Mike."

Mike: "You're welcome."

Alice: "And what's this?"

Anne: "Go on, open it!"

Alice: "It's a jigsaw. Wonderful, thank you, Anne."

Anne: "You're welcome."

Alice: "I want to show you all the presents from my parents. Look: a green ball, a teddy-bear and a red bike. Now, let's play!"

Oliver: "I'll open the big one first, too. It's a red racing car. That's great. Thank you, Mike."

Mike: "You're welcome."

Oliver: "And what's this?"

Anne: "Go on, open it!"

Alice: "It's a memory game. Super! Thank you so much, Jason."

Anne: "You're welcome."

Alice: "I want to show you all the presents from my parents. Look: a football, a robot and a blue bike. Now, let's play!

Cerita dibacakan berulang kali dan di kali ke dua atau ke tiga siswa sudah menambahkan beberapa formulasi seperti: Go on, open it!, atau That's great, thank you.

Dilanjutkan dengan tugas untuk memotong KG di sisi bawah halaman, menata dan menamai kembali ketika dibacakan ulang.

Presents for Alice: a doll ...

Presents for Oliver: a racing car ...

Penempelan ke kolom yang benar diiringi dengan struktur-struktur yang selalu diucapkan sama.

A doll for Alice. A racing car for Oliver.

Pada akhirnya, pertanyaan: Which present did you get for your birthday? bisa sekali lagi diarahkan untuk menyebutkan hadiah-hadiah atau keinginan yang sangat disukai anak.
