Part 6: Good luck, everyone! | play_circle pause_circle |
I'm so nervous. | play_circle pause_circle |
I'm terrified. | play_circle pause_circle |
Out last rehearsal was really bad. | play_circle pause_circle |
Well, today it can't be worse. | play_circle pause_circle |
Don't worry. Today it will be better. | play_circle pause_circle |
I hope so. | play_circle pause_circle |
The children are waiting. Are you all ready? | play_circle pause_circle |
Yes, Miss Carey. | play_circle pause_circle |
Good luck, everyone! | play_circle pause_circle |
Thanks, we'll need it! | play_circle pause_circle |
All through the winter, the duckling hid in the reeds. | play_circle pause_circle |
In the spring some beautiful white birds landed on the river. | play_circle pause_circle |
You're not ducks. What are you? | play_circle pause_circle |
We are swans. You are a swan, too. | play_circle pause_circle |
Me? A swan? | play_circle pause_circle |
Yes, look in the water and you'll see. | play_circle pause_circle |
Oh! It's true! I'm not an ugly duckling. I'm a swan! | play_circle pause_circle |
So the ugly duckling became a beautiful swan... | play_circle pause_circle |
...and lived happily ever after! | play_circle pause_circle |
Hooray! Hooray! That was the best play ever! | play_circle pause_circle |

Lesson 2: Conversation
Which painting is the winner? | play_circle pause_circle |
I think number 4 is the best. | play_circle pause_circle |
Really? What about number 2? | play_circle pause_circle |
Well, it's better than number 1 but it's not as good as number 4. | play_circle pause_circle |
What about number 3? | play_circle pause_circle |
It's awful! It's the worst of all. | play_circle pause_circle |
Do you think it's worse than number 1? | play_circle pause_circle |
Definitely! It's really bad. | play_circle pause_circle |
What's the matter? | play_circle pause_circle |
I painted number 3. | play_circle pause_circle |

Amazing changes

What is it? It's small and white, under the leaf, out of sight. It looks like a seed. | play_circle pause_circle |
It isn't a seed. It's an egg - it will grow. What will it be? Do you know? | play_circle pause_circle |
Look at it now! It's long and round. It's eating the leaf, but not making a sound. It looks like a worm. | play_circle pause_circle |
It isn't a worm. It's a caterpillar - so, what will come next? Do you know? | play_circle pause_circle |
What is it now? It looks old and dry, brown and shiny, hanging up high. It looks like a leaf. | play_circle pause_circle |
It isn't a leaf. It's a pupa, and yes, it will change, but how? Can you guess? | play_circle pause_circle |
Look! What's this? There's a tiny head and crumpkes wings of yollow and red. It's a butterfly! | play_circle pause_circle |
Yes, a beautiful insect with colours that glow. From an egg to a butterfly, you saw it grow. | play_circle pause_circle |
The dragonfly | play_circle pause_circle |
The dragonfly larva is a terrifying beast, with pinching claws and snapping jaws looking for a feast. | play_circle pause_circle |
When the dragonfly appears from the larva's ugly skin its wings are wide and delicate, its body's long and thin. | play_circle pause_circle |
There's a flash of brilliant colour as it flies across the water - like a jewel in the crown of an emperor's daughter. | play_circle pause_circle |
The bird of paradise | play_circle pause_circle |
Can you believe it? It doesn't look nice but this funny little chick will be a bird of paradise. | play_circle pause_circle |
It will spread its golden wings and show its feathers like a fan and nobody will guess how this amazing birs began. | play_circle pause_circle |
