Note to recorder:
This is a poem written by a Sri Lankan boy. (I don't know exactly how to pronounce his name, do as you feel it!) The speed should be natural, not to fast as this is a poem. Thanks!
I am…Jayendrakumar.
I am a teenager who loves cricket.
I wonder if there are animals who can speak.
I hear a plane near me.
I see a man with four hands.
I’d like to go to every country.
I am a teenager who loves cricket.
I pretend to be a policeman.
I feel upset when I see criminals.
I touch my heart with my hands.
I can save people in need.
I’d like to be happy.
I am a teenager who loves cricket.
I understand the poverty in the world.
I say all pupils are the same.
I dream of being a painter.
I’d like to have good results at school.
I am a teenager who loves cricket.
I am not a person who reads poetry, but, I thought I would give it a try.
