Lesson 1 Do you like dancing? Date

DVD script:
In the evening, a fir tree sees the sad Sparrow and asks: 'What are you doing in the forest little bird?'
'Good evening, Mr Fir. I'm looking for a home for the winter,' says the little bird. 'I'm not strong and I can't fly. I'm cold and hungry.'
'You can make your home under my branches. Come, hop under this branch,' says the Fir. 'I can help you in the cold and winter wind. I have tasty purple fruit. You can eat them in the winter.'
The bird thanks the Fir tree for its help and lives with it for the winter.
This is not the end of the fairy tale. The North Wind and Father Frost are playing in the forest. The North Wind wants to blow on the Fir tree and take off its leaves.
Father Frost says: 'This tree is helping the hungry sparrow. Don't blow on it. Its leaves can always be green. You can blow on the willow and mulberry trees and take off their leaves. They don't want to help the little bird.'
That winter, a lot of snow falls, a lot of rain pours and the North Wind has a lot of fun blowing on the willow and mulberry trees, and takes off their leaves. They feel very cold and very hungry.
Today this never stops. The fir tree is always green. The leaves of the willow and mulberry trees always fall in the cold and winterActivity 3a Read, complete and colour. 5 min Objectives: to give practice in reading for main ideas; to prepare for the next activity.
