Novice English: Level-1 (K-5)

4. Making Good Choices (I should…)

Note: ‘Should’ is a word we use to talk about things we’re supposed to do to be safe and healthy. Like when we cross the street, we should hold hands to stay safe. Or when we eat, we should eat our veggies to stay healthy. So, when we do these things, we’re doing what we should do! Speech bubble template with girl smiling

This conversation focuses on guiding the student to reflect on the things they should eat, do, play, go, listen to, read, buy, etc., emphasizing the importance of making positive and healthy choices in various aspects of their life.

Rinki: Hi Advik! Do you know what you should do in your free time?

Advik: Hmm, not really, Rinki. What should I do?

Rinki: Well, you should play with your toys or draw pictures. It’s fun and helps you use your imagination!

Advik: Oh, I like playing with my toys! What else should I do?

Rinki: You should also read books or listen to stories. It’s good for your brain and helps you learn new things.

Advik: Okay, I’ll do that! What should I not do in my free time?

Rinki: Hmm, you should not watch too much TV or play video games for too long. It’s not good for your eyes and can make you feel tired.

Advik: Got it, Rinki! I’ll limit my screen time.

Rinki: Great! Now, what should you do with your toys?

Advik: Um, play with them?

Rinki: Yes, you should play with your toys and put them away when you’re done. That way, you can keep your room neat and tidy!

Advik: Okay, I’ll remember to clean up after playing.

Rinki: Awesome! And what should you not eat?

Advik: Hmm, maybe candy?

Rinki: Yes, you should not eat too much candy or junk food. It’s not good for your body and can make you feel sick.

Advik: Okay, I’ll try to eat more fruits and vegetables instead.

Rinki: That’s a good idea! Lastly, what should you study?

Advik: Um, my ABCs?

Rinki: Exactly! You should study your ABCs, numbers, and other things your teacher tells you. It helps you learn and grow smart!

Advik: Okay, I’ll study hard! Thanks for telling me, Rinki!

Rinki: No problem, Advik! Remember, always make good choices and have fun learning and playing!
