Friends, Family and Sambalpur

iûw, _eòaûe Gaõ i´f_êe Before we start @ûe¸ Keòaû _êaðeê You already know what an SLU is. It contains a number of interesting activities for you to do, all related to a theme. In this SLU, the first one, the theme is 'Friends, Family and Sambalpur'. Why has this been chosen as a theme? What do you think?

@ûe¸ Keòaû _êaðeê G Z Zêùc RûYòQ Giþ.Gfþ.dê K’Yö G[ôùe ajêZ MêWÿòG eêPò_ì‰ð gòlY Kû~ðýûakú @Qò, ~ûjû Zêùc Keò_ûeòa Gaõ G iaê ùKøYiò [ôc / aòhd ijòZ iõ_KðòZö _â[c GiþGfþdêe [ôc @Qò – “iûw, _eòaûe Gaõ i´f_êe”ö ZêcKê K’Y fûMêQò, Gjò aòhdKê [ôcþ bûaùe aQû ~ûA[ôa?

Some things to keep in mind When starting on an SLU, look at all the pages before you begin doing the first activity.

• Go from activity to activity in sequence. (In later SLUs you can choose what you will do first.)

• Don’t stop at doing only what is given here.

• Some of the activities may be very easy for you. Ask yourself. What else can I do ?

• In all the activities it would be best to do them along with at least one of your friends. If 3-4 of you can get together to do these, it would be even better. (But not more than four !)

• These activities don’t get ‘finished’ – you can always come back to them and find something new to do with them.

• If you know Odia, you can do all the activities here !

Can you do this for your own name? (Your first name will do)

Do the same for the word 'Friends' (You can refer to the dictionary to help you select words. Don't forget to look up their meanings!)

How has this been done? If you want to write 'A( write 'B'; and if you want to write 'B' write 'C', and so on. You are using the next letter.

• Try writing your name or a familiar word in this way. Ask your friend to ‘decode’ it.

• Next, can you write ‘Come to the school’ using the ‘next letter’ method.

• Try to write more sentences and ask your friend to decode them.

• Then agree on a different code (what will you make this time ?). See if you can read words or sentences written by each other.

Let's stop here for a moment and think.

• Did you enjoy the activities done so far ?

• Do you think you are learning some English ? What have you learnt; or improved till now (both from the classroom activities done by your teacher and from this SLU) ?

• This is only the beginning !

One evening, my uncle was at a tea stall on the road side. He was having tea, talking with a friend. A cow was walking by. The cow moved its tail in the air. The tail hit the cup of tea in my uncle's hand! He got wet with hot tea all over him. We still laugh about it.

Has something funny happened to any of your relatives ?

Talk about it, and if possible write

some words to remind you or what happened.

Later; when you know more English,

come back and write it in more detail.

1. She is an interesting person. She always asks questions. Why are you doing this? Or, why doesn't a cycle fall down even though it has only two wheels? Or, why don't girls play cricket? I call her a 'woman of questions'.

2. He is a reader. He loves stories, and always has a storybook in his bag. I call him a 'book worm'.

3. He takes very good care of his health. He exercises regularly and is careful about eating. He has

become tall and strong. I call him 'a body builder'. How do you call your friend ?

How do your friends call you ?

Can you think of similar

interesting descriptions for others you know ?
