VIP Class Notes (Dimple)

Today we focused on:

The focus of today’s class was to read the story of woodpeckers. Jerry did an excellent job reading and understanding the story. I do think he could improve on the pronounciation and tenses in the future. He is also quite at picking up new words.

(How’s your day?)

In the morning, I did some homework. Homeworks are by my dad and mom. [My parents gave me the homework.] In the afternoon, I play [played] with my grandparents. In the evening, I go to Smart English. I go there by motorbike. My dad takes me to there [there]. After [this] class, I [will] go home and do some homework. And my dad [will] look [over] my homework. If my homework is wrong, my dad corrects the homework. If it’s correct, I can play with my toy car. I have a [toy] bus. I play with it. (when do you go to sleep?) And I go to sleep. At ten or eleven o’clock.

(Jerry, why are you called Jerry?)

Because I like Tom and Jerry, that’s why my English name is Jerry. I like the mouse, it’s called Jerry. So my English name is Jerry. My mom likes cat, but I don’t like cat. Because if my mom buys the cat, the cat will eat my mouse.
