Months

Hello, boys and girls! My name is Bobby.

And my name is Tobby. This is our friend Mobby.

Welcome to our lesson.

Today we have a guest. It’s Alex.

Hello, guys!

Alex wants to tell you one interesting story.

It happened to him yesterday.

Listen to the story and you’ll guess the topic of our lesson today.

It was Saturday. On that day I decided to walk my dog in the park. We spent 2 hours there.

Then my dog started barking. Usually when Max does that, it means that my little boy is tired and wants to return home. So I took Max in my hands and wanted to go home when suddenly I saw twelve unknown creatures. At first, I was afraid, but then I decided to talk to them.

Hello, gentlemen!

Hello, young man!

Excuse me, but who are you? Are you Gods?

No, we aren’t!

Are you people?

No, we aren’t!

Who are you then?

We are months!

Now I think you understand that today in the lesson we will:

talk about months;

And

learn new words.

Alex, continue your story, please!

Okay.

We are months!

Oh, cool! Could you tell me about yourselves, please?

Why do we have to do that?

Oh, come on, January! Look at this boy! Can’t you see that he is a good person?

All right, we will tell you about ourselves!

So, are you ready to listen?
