Hello. This text is not written by English-speaking writers, so I guess there remain some phrases which sound not natural to you. If so, please help me change them.
My 10-year-old students are in their 4th grade, so could you please help me make two separate recordings for the reading text - one at your normal/natural speed, and the other at your slow speed - and a recording for the question-and-answer section? I am not sure of the 5th question, please help me choose one. For the remaining questions, if you find them not natural, feel free to change them.
I love jogging. It’s a hot day, so I am wearing a cap. Look at Pat. He’s taking a nap. I stop jogging now and drink some water.
+ Who loves jogging? ~ Bob loves jogging.
+ Is it a sunny day? ~ Yes, it is.
+ Is it a rainy day? ~ No, it isn’t.
+ What is Bob wearing? Why? ~ He is wearing a cap because it is a hot day. / He’s wearing a cap because it’s a hot day.
+ Who does Bob look at? ~ He looks at Pat.
// Who is Bob looking at? ~ He is looking at Pat. / He’s looking at Pat.
(NOTE: For this question, please help me choose one. I am not sure of whether the question would be in the present simple tense, or the present continuous tense.)
+ What is Pat doing? ~ He is taking a nap. / He’s taking a nap.
+ What does Bob do after jogging? ~ He drinks some water.
Hi VickiS. Thanks so much for your help! I wanted to know whether my final question sounded unnatural to you. If so, I hope you would not mind suggesting one question related to the sentence. [I stop jogging now and drink some water.] My aim is to check the students' understanding.
