The Ferry Hat Surprise
Strong wind blew my yellow hat off my head. It landed on a bench beside the ferry snack counter. I looked under the seats, but it was gone. A little child came back with my hat. A tiny crab sat near the edge of the hat. I held still while it waved one small claw. Then the child and I put it back in the water. I wore my hat home, but kept checking inside.

After breakfast, I found half a loaf in the fridge. The slices felt hard, though the bag was closed. Cold makes bread go stale faster, not fresher. So I wrapped the other half and froze it. On Tuesday, I thawed two slices for breakfast. They were soft again, so I toasted them quickly. My brother asked if we could freeze the toaster next.

Gawing dictation ang kuwentong itoPaano matuto ng English sa mga kuwento
Nakakatulong ang konteksto ng kuwento sa pag-intindi, pero puwede ka rin nitong pahulain ng mga salitang hindi mo naman narinig. Sa unang pakinig, sundan ang kuwento. Sa pangalawa, basahin ang teksto para mag-check. Sa pangatlo, makinig nang walang teksto para makita kung gaano talaga karami ang naiintindihan mo sa pandinig lang.
Sa dictation, isusulat mo ang kuwento pangungusap por pangungusap at mahahanap mo ang mga detalyeng nalalampasan kapag kabuuan lang ang sinusundan mo. May bagong kuwento araw-araw sa bawat level.
Para ba ito sa mga baguhan?
Oo, magsimula sa A1. Kung mahirap pa ang buong kuwento, mag-practice muna sa A1 sentences at bumalik pagkatapos.
Babasahin ko ba ang teksto habang nakikinig?
Oo, para mag-check, pero makinig muna nang isang beses nang hindi nagbabasa. Kung lagi kang nagbabasa habang nakikinig, mas nasasanay ang pagbasa mo kaysa ang pakikinig.
