The Cow and the Potato by James Steed




There are many ways to learn using stories...
1. Read the story as you listen, then answer the questions.  
2. Then...listen to the story without reading. Do you understand the words? 
3. Read the story out loud, with no sound. Did you say the words good? 
4. Try to answer the questions speaking, without writing. 
5. Answer the questions writing, with long answers, not short answers. This is what you will send to me.
Do all these things to gain skill in English.

Let's Visit the Old Mill

Image
North Little Rock has an Old Mill. It is a beautiful place to visit. But it is not really as old as it looks. The Old Mill was built 1931 to 1933. It was made to look old and abandoned. It is part of a neighborhood that has many lakes and trails. The builder wanted to make the neighborhood a beautiful place so the people who lived there would be happy. The Old Mill has many wood parts. But they are not wood. They are made of concrete. But they look like wood. They were made by a Mexican artist. His name was Senòr Dionico Rodriguez.   His work helps to make the park beautiful. http://nlrpr.org/parks/old_mill/old_mill_history Homework: Write about the video.
