Hello, everyone! Today, let's learn all about "Listening, Viewing, and Speaking."

Did you know that every single day, we use our ears to listen, our eyes to view, and our mouths to speak constantly? Being a smart student doesn't just mean getting high scores on tests; it also means being a "good listener" and a "polite speaker." If you feel like this topic is tricky, don't worry! We'll learn it together step-by-step, just like playing a game!


1. Listening and Viewing: "Ears are for listening, eyes are for viewing."

Good listening and viewing mean paying full attention to the information others are sharing with us, whether it's a teacher explaining a lesson or a friend sharing a fun story.

Etiquette for Listening and Viewing (Follow these tips to be super likable!)

- Listen intently and look at the speaker: When someone is talking to you, make eye contact. Don't look down or play with toys.

- Don't interrupt: Wait until they finish speaking before you raise your hand to ask questions.

- Sit still: Sitting properly shows that you respect the speaker.

- Stay quiet: Don't talk over the teacher or make noises that distract those around you.

Grasping the Main Idea (Listening means understanding!)

When listening or viewing something, try asking yourself these questions:

1. Who: Who is in the story?

2. What: What are they doing?

3. Where: Where is this taking place?

4. When: Is it happening in the morning, afternoon, or evening?

Key point: If you listen attentively, you will remember what others say more accurately and be able to follow the teacher's instructions correctly.

Did you know? We have "two ears" but only "one mouth." This means nature wants us to "listen more than we speak!"

Chapter Summary: Good listening and viewing require you to be calm, quiet, attentive, and observant in order to fully understand the story.


2. Speaking: "Speak kindly, and you'll be loved by all."

Speaking is how we express our feelings or share stories with others. Speaking in a pleasant way will help you make many friends and become a favorite of your teachers.

Etiquette for Speaking (How to be a polite kid?)

- Use polite words: Always add "please," "thank you," or polite particles at the end of your sentences.

- Use an appropriate volume: Don't shout at people, and don't speak so softly that no one can hear you.

- Be cheerful: Smiling while you talk makes your words 100 times more pleasant to hear!

- Speak only the truth: Avoid lying or gossiping about your friends.

Essential Phrases to Use Often

- "Hello/Hi": When you meet someone.

- "Thank you": When you receive something or get help.

- "I'm sorry": When you make a mistake or accidentally upset someone.

- "May I...": Before you leave your seat or borrow someone's belongings.

Storytelling Techniques (How to help friends visualize your story?)

When telling a story, organize it like this:

Beginning -> What happened -> Conclusion

For example: "This morning (Beginning), I saw a cat in front of school eating a fish (What happened), and then it walked over and rubbed against my leg; it was so cute! (Conclusion)"

Common mistakes: Speaking over a friend while they are still talking, or using bad language because you think it's "cool." In reality, it doesn't make you look good at all.

Chapter Summary: Good speaking should be polite, clear, and appropriate for the situation. Don't forget to always be courteous!
