Speaking exercise

Original

On Sunday I usually will take my son to the class, because he is only 19 months old the school is just close to where we living. Normally on Sunday we do music class, and the teacher will play some music and we just do some gestures with the music together. When my son first went to the class he is a little shy but later, several classes, he changed and be better to join the class and enjoy. To be more , he need to know some rules in the class when the time is not appropriate, you have to listen to the teacher and respect other classmates and enjoy with the music, and play some drum, and other instruments, and other toys.  This one fits to him.

On Sunday I usually  take my son to pre-kindergarten class, because he is only 19 months old (a year and 7 months)  the school is close to where we live. Normally on Sunday we do music class, and the teacher will play some music and we just do some gestures following the music. When my son first went to the class he was a little shy but several classes later, he changed and started to be more involved in the class. He also seemed to enjoy it more because i often saw him smiling. He does this to learn some that there are rules in the class for example you cannot do what you want when the time is not appropriate, you have to listen to the teacher and respect other classmates and enjoy the music, play some drums, and other instruments, and toys.  This one fits him.
