Story: Why Does the Frog Croak? Lesson 1
A. Listen and read (āĻļোāύ āĻāĻŦং āĻĒā§).
What sound does a frog make (āĻāĻāĻি āĻŦ্āϝাāĻ āĻি āϧāϰāύেāϰ āĻļāĻŦ্āĻĻ āĻāϰে)? Croak, croak (āĻ্āϝাāĻāϰ āĻ্āϝাāĻāϰ)! It isn't a beautiful sound (āĻāĻি āĻāĻāĻি āϏুāύ্āĻĻāϰ āĻļāĻŦ্āĻĻ āύāϝ়). But a long time ago, frogs had beautiful voices (āĻিāύ্āϤু, āĻ āύেāĻ āĻĻিāύ āĻāĻে, āĻŦ্āϝাāĻেāϰ āϏুāύ্āĻĻāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰ āĻিāϞ). They could sing more beautiful than the birds (āϤাāϰা āĻĒাāĻিāϰ āĻেāϝ়ে āĻŦেāĻļি āϏুāύ্āĻĻāϰ āĻাāύ āĻাāĻāϤে āĻĒাāϰāϤ). This all changed because of one frog named Bluster (āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰ āύাāĻŽে āĻāĻāĻি āĻŦ্āϝাāĻেāϰ āĻাāϰāĻŖে āĻāĻ āϏāĻŽāϏ্āϤ āĻĒāϰিāĻŦāϰ্āϤāύ āĻšāϝ়েāĻে).
Bluster had the most beautiful voice of all the animals (āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰেāϰ āϏāĻŽāϏ্āϤ āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖীāϰ āĻŽāϧ্āϝে āϏāĻŦāĻেāϝ়ে āϏুāύ্āĻĻāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰ āĻিāϞ). When he sang, all the other animals came to hear him (āϝāĻāύ āϏে āĻাāύ āĻাāĻāϤ, āϤāĻāύ āĻ āύ্āϝ āϏāĻŽāϏ্āϤ āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖীāϰা āϤাāϰ āĻাāύ āĻļুāύāϤে āĻāϏāϤ). They enjoyed listening to him (āϤাāϰা āϤাāϰ āĻাāύ āĻļুāύে āĻāĻĒāĻোāĻ āĻāϰāϤ). "Please teach us how to sing!" the animals asked ("āĻĻāϝ়া āĻāϰে āĻāĻŽাāĻĻেāϰ āĻļেāĻাāĻ āĻিāĻাāĻŦে āĻাāύ āĻাāĻāϤে āĻšāϝ়!" āĻĒāĻļুāϰা āĻিāĻ্āĻাāϏা āĻāϰāϞ). But Bluster always answered in the same way (āĻিāύ্āϤু āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰ āϏāĻŦāϏāĻŽāϝ় āĻāĻāĻ āĻাāĻŦে āĻāϤ্āϤāϰ āĻĻেāϝ়). "No, no (āύা, āύা). My voice is mine (āĻāĻŽাāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰ āĻāĻŽাāϰ). I cannot share it," he said (āĻāĻŽি āĻāĻা āĻাāĻাāĻাāĻি āĻāϰāϤে āĻĒাāϰি āύা," āĻŦāϞāϤ).
Story: Why Does the Frog Croak? Lessons 2-3
One morning, Moxie the rabbit and Pluck the lizard talked to the fox and the rat (āĻāĻ āϏāĻাāϞে āĻāϰāĻোāϏ āĻŽোāĻ্āϏি āĻ āĻিāĻāĻিāĻি āĻĒ্āϞাāĻ āĻļেā§াāϞ āĻ āĻāĻĻুāϰেāϰ āϏাāĻĨে āĻāĻĨা āĻŦāϞāϞ). "Bluster has such a big, beautiful voice ("āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰেāϰ āĻāϤ āĻŦāĻĄ়, āϏুāύ্āĻĻāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰ āϰāϝ়েāĻে). Surely, he can share it with us," said Moxie (āĻ āĻŦāĻļ্āϝāĻ, āϏে āĻāĻি āĻāĻŽাāĻĻেāϰ āϏাāĻĨে āĻাāĻāĻাāĻি āĻāϰে āύিāϤে āĻĒাāϰে, "Moxie āĻŦāϞāϞ). They agreed (āϤাāϰা āĻāĻāĻŽāϤ āĻšāϝ়েāĻিāϞ). Bluster should share his voice with them (āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰāĻে āϤাāĻĻেāϰ āϏাāĻĨে āϤাāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰ āĻাāĻ āĻāϰে āύেāĻāϝ়া āĻāĻিāϤ). It was such a big voice (āĻāĻা āĻāϤ āĻŦāĻĄ় āĻāĻāĻা āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰ). Each animal could have just a small piece of it (āĻĒ্āϰāϤিāĻি āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖীāϰ āĻāĻāĻি āĻোāĻ āĻুāĻāϰা āĻĨাāĻা āĻāĻিā§). Bluster could share his voice with each animal (āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰ āĻĒ্āϰāϤিāĻি āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖীāϰ āϏাāĻĨে āϤাāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰ āĻাāĻ āĻāϰে āύিāϤে āĻĒাāϰāϤ).
The animals talked and talked late into the afternoon (āĻĒāĻļুāϰা āĻŦিāĻেāϞ āĻĒāϰ্āϝāύ্āϤ āĻāĻĨা āĻŦāϞে āĻāϞāϞ). They made a plan to take Bluster's voice (āϤাāϰা āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰেāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰ āύেāĻāϝ়াāϰ āĻāύ্āϝ āĻāĻāĻি āĻĒāϰিāĻāϞ্āĻĒāύা āĻāϰেāĻিāϞ). They decided not to tell the birds (āϤাāϰা āϏিāĻĻ্āϧাāύ্āϤ āύিāϝ়েāĻে āϝে āϤাāϰা āĻĒাāĻিāĻĻেāϰ āĻŦāϞāĻŦে āύা). But, they didn't have to tell them (āĻিāύ্āϤু āϤাāĻĻেāϰ [āĻĒাāĻিāĻĻেāϰ] āĻŦāϞāϤে āĻšā§āύি āϤাāĻĻেāϰ)! The birds were sitting in the tree and they heard the animals' plan (āĻĒাāĻিāϰা āĻাāĻে āĻŦāϏে āĻিāϞ āĻāĻŦং āϤাāϰা āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖীāĻĻেāϰ āĻĒāϰিāĻāϞ্āĻĒāύা āĻļুāύেāĻিāϞ).
At midnight, Pluck and Moxie quietly went to Bluster's home (āĻŽāϧ্āϝāϰাāϤে, āĻĒ্āϞাāĻ āĻāĻŦং āĻŽāĻ্āϏি āύিāϰāĻŦে āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰেāϰ āĻŦাāĻĄ়িāϤে āĻিāϝ়েāĻিāϞ). Bluster was sleeping in his bed, and without making a sound, they took his voice (āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰ āϤাāϰ āĻŦিāĻাāύাāϝ় āĻুāĻŽাāĻ্āĻিāϞ, āĻāĻŦং āĻোāύāĻ āĻļāĻŦ্āĻĻ āύা āĻāϰেāĻ, āϤাāϰা āϤাāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰ āύিā§ে āύিāϞ)! They put it into a glass jar (āϤাāϰা āĻāĻিāĻে āĻāĻāĻি āĻাāĻেāϰ āĻĒাāϤ্āϰে āϰাāĻāϞ).

Pluck and Moxie took the glass jar outside (āĻĒ্āϞাāĻ āĻāĻŦং āĻŽāĻ্āϏি āĻাāĻেāϰ āĻĒাāϤ্āϰāĻি āĻŦাāĻāϰে āύিāϝ়ে āĻেāϞ). The other animals were waiting (āĻ āύ্āϝ āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖীāϰা āĻ āĻĒেāĻ্āώা āĻāϰāĻিāϞ). "Oh, give me my piece ("āĻāĻš, āĻāĻŽাāϰ āĻুāĻāϰাāĻা āĻāĻŽাāĻে āĻĻাāĻ।)!" said the fox (āĻļিāϝ়াāϞ āĻŦāϞāϞ). "I want my piece ("āĻāĻŽি āĻāĻŽাāϰ āĻুāĻāϰা āĻাāĻ)!" said the rat (āĻঁāĻĻুāϰāĻি āĻŦāϞāϞ). Suddenly, the jar fell to the ground and it broke (āĻšāĻ াā§, āĻĒাāϤ্āϰāĻি āĻŽাāĻিāϤে āĻĒāĻĄ়ে āϝাāϝ় āĻāĻŦং āĻāĻি āĻেāĻে āϝাāϝ়). Bluster's voice and the jar were now in a hundred little pieces (āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰেāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰ āĻāĻŦং āĻĒাāϤ্āϰāĻি āĻāĻāύ āĻāĻāĻļোāĻি āĻোāĻ āĻোāĻ āĻুāĻāϰো āĻšā§ে āĻেāϞ).
"Oh, no (āĻāĻš, āύা)!" cried Moxie (āĻŽāĻ্āϏি āĻেঁāĻĻে āĻāĻ āϞ). The animals searched, but they couldn't find any of the pieces (āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖীāϰা āĻ āύুāϏāύ্āϧাāύ āĻāϰেāĻিāϞ, āĻিāύ্āϤু āϤাāϰা āĻোāύāĻ āĻুāĻāϰো āĻুঁāĻে āĻĒাāϝ়āύি). It was too dark and the pieces were too small (āϤāĻāύ āĻুāĻŦ āĻ āύ্āϧāĻাāϰ āĻিāϞ āĻāĻŦং āĻুāĻāϰাāĻুāϞি āĻুāĻŦ āĻোāĻ āĻিāϞ). "What are we going to do ("āĻāĻŽāϰা āĻি āĻāϰāϤে āϝাāĻ্āĻি)?" asked Pluck (āĻĒ্āϞাāĻ āĻিāĻ্āĻাāϏা āĻāϰāϞ). "We will come back in the morning," said Moxie ("āĻāĻŽāϰা āϏāĻাāϞে āĻĢিāϰে āĻāϏāĻŦ," āĻŽāĻ্āϏি āĻŦāϞāϞ). And, all the animals went home without a piece of Bluster's beautiful voice (āĻāĻŦং, āϏāĻŽāϏ্āϤ āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖী āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰেāϰ āϏুāύ্āĻĻāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰেāϰ āĻāĻāĻি āĻুāĻāϰো āĻাāĻĄ়াāĻ āĻŦাāĻĄ়িāϤে āĻāϞে āĻেāϞ). They were all very tired from looking for the voice, so they went to sleep (āϤাāϰা āϏāĻŦাāĻ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰেāϰ āϏāύ্āϧাāύে āĻুāĻŦ āĻ্āϞাāύ্āϤ āĻিāϞ, āϤাāĻ āϤাāϰা āĻুāĻŽাāϤে āĻিāϝ়েāĻিāϞ).

In the morning, as the sun came up, the birds went out to have their breakfast (āϏāĻাāϞে, āϏূāϰ্āϝ āĻāĻ ে āĻāϏাāϰ āϏাāĻĨে āϏাāĻĨে āĻĒাāĻিāϰা āϤাāĻĻেāϰ āĻĒ্āϰাāϤঃāϰাāĻļেāϰ āĻāύ্āϝ āĻŦাāĻāϰে āĻিāϝ়েāĻিāϞ). With their good eyes, the birds saw the little pieces of the beautiful voice on the ground (āϤাāĻĻেāϰ āĻাāϞ āĻোāĻ āĻĻিāϝ়ে, āĻĒাāĻিāĻুāϞি āĻŽাāĻিāϤে āϏুāύ্āĻĻāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰেāϰ āĻোāĻ āĻোāĻ āĻুāĻāϰোāĻুāϞি āĻĻেāĻেāĻিāϞ). They carefully picked up the pieces (āϤাāϰা āϏাāĻŦāϧাāύে āĻুāĻāϰাāĻুāϞি āϤুāϞে āύিāϝ়েāĻিāϞ). They didn't leave one piece of the beautiful voice behind (āϤাāϰা āϏুāύ্āĻĻāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰেāϰ āĻāĻ āĻুāĻāϰোāĻ āĻĒিāĻāύে āĻĢেāϞে āϝাāϝ়āύি).
That afternoon, the animals finally woke up (āϏেāĻ āĻŦিāĻেāϞে, āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖীāϰা āĻ āĻŦāĻļেāώে āĻেāĻে āĻāĻ āϞ). They ran to get the pieces of Bluster's voice, but all they found there was broken glass (āϤাāϰা āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰেāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰেāϰ āĻুāĻāϰোāĻুāϞি āĻĒেāϤে āĻĻৌāĻĄ়েāĻিāϞ, āϤāĻŦে āϤাāϰা āϏেāĻাāύে āϝা āĻĒেāϝ়েāĻিāϞ āϤা āĻেāĻŦāϞ āĻাāĻা āĻাāĻ āĻিāϞ). They searched and searched, but there were no pieces of the voice (āϤাāϰা āĻ āύুāϏāύ্āϧাāύেāϰ āĻĒāϰ āĻ āύুāϏāύ্āϧাāύ āĻāϰেāĻিāϞ, āĻিāύ্āϤু āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰেāϰ āĻোāύāĻ āĻুāĻāϰো āĻিāϞ āύা). Then, suddenly, they heard a beautiful song coming from the trees (āϤাāϰāĻĒāϰ, āĻšāĻ াā§, āϤাāϰা āĻাāĻ āĻĨেāĻে āĻāϏāĻে āĻāĻŽāύ āĻāĻāĻি āϏুāύ্āĻĻāϰ āĻাāύ āĻļুāύāϤে āĻĒাāϝ়). Bluster's voice was coming from the trees (āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰেāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰ āĻাāĻ āĻĨেāĻে āĻāϏāĻিāϞ). They looked up and saw the birds singing (āϤাāϰা āĻāĻĒāϰেāϰ āĻĻিāĻে āϤাāĻাāϞ āĻāĻŦং āĻĻেāĻāϞ āĻĒাāĻিāϰা āĻাāύ āĻাāĻāĻে)!
And to this day, the birds sing with Bluster's beautiful voice, and Bluster, and all the other frogs, can only say croak-croak (āĻāĻŦং āĻāĻ āĻĒāϰ্āϝāύ্āϤ, āĻĒাāĻিāĻুāϞি āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰেāϰ āϏুāύ্āĻĻāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰেāϰ āϏাāĻĨে āĻাāύ āĻাāϝ়, āĻāĻŦং āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰ, āĻāĻŦং āĻ āύ্āϝাāύ্āϝ āϏāĻŽāϏ্āϤ āĻŦ্āϝাāĻ, āĻেāĻŦāϞ āĻ্āϝাāĻāϰ āĻ্āϝাāĻāϰ āĻŦāϞāϤে āĻĒাāϰে).

1. How do you feel about Bluster (āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāϰ্āĻে āϤুāĻŽি āĻেāĻŽāύ āĻŦোāϧ āĻāϰ)? How do you feel about the other animals (āĻ āύ্āϝাāύ্āϝ āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖীāĻĻেāϰ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒāϰ্āĻে āϤোāĻŽাāϰ āĻ āύুāĻূāϤি āĻেāĻŽāύ)? Why (āĻেāύ)?
2. Do you think this is a true story (āϤুāĻŽি āĻি āĻŽāύে āĻāϰ āĻāĻি āĻāĻāĻি āϏāϤ্āϝ āĻāϞ্āĻĒ)? Why, or why not (āĻেāύ āĻŦা āĻেāύ āύā§)?
Answer:
1. I feel sorry for Bluster (āĻāĻŽি āĻŦ্āϞাāϏ্āĻাāϰেāϰ āĻāύ্āϝ āĻĻুঃāĻ āĻŦোāϧ āĻāϰি). Because he lost his wonderful voice without any fault (āĻাāϰāĻŖ āϏে āĻোāύāĻ āĻĻোāώ āĻাāĻĄ়াāĻ āϤাāϰ āĻŦিāϏ্āĻŽāϝ়āĻāϰ āĻāĻŖ্āĻ āϏ্āĻŦāϰ āĻšাāϰিāϝ়ে āĻĢেāϞেāĻে). And I feel angry with the other animals for their shrewdness and cruelty (āĻāĻŦং āĻāĻŽি āĻ āύ্āϝাāύ্āϝ āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖীāĻĻেāϰ āϏাāĻĨে āϤাāĻĻেāϰ āĻāϤুāϰāϤা āĻāĻŦং āύিāώ্āĻ ুāϰāϤাāϰ āĻāύ্āϝ āϰাāĻাāύ্āĻŦিāϤ āĻŦোāϧ āĻāϰি).
2. No, I don’t think this is a true story (āύা, āĻāĻŽি āĻŽāύে āĻāϰি āύা āĻāĻি āĻāĻāĻি āϏāϤ্āϝ āĻāϞ্āĻĒ). Because animals cannot talk or work like human beings (āĻাāϰāĻŖ āĻĒ্āϰাāĻŖীāϰা āĻŽাāύুāώেāϰ āĻŽāϤো āĻāĻĨা āĻŦāϞāϤে āĻŦা āĻাāĻ āĻāϰāϤে āĻĒাāϰে āύা).

Underline the sentences that use commas (āĻāĻŽা āĻŦ্āϝāĻŦāĻšাāϰ āĻāϰা āĻšā§েāĻে āĻāĻŽāύ āĻŦাāĻ্āϝāĻুāϞি āĻāύ্āĻĄাāϰāϞাāĻāύ āĻāϰ).

1. What was your favourite story in the book (āĻŦāĻāĻিāϤে āϤোāĻŽাāϰ āĻĒ্āϰিāϝ় āĻāϞ্āĻĒ āĻোāύāĻি āĻিāϞ)?
2. What did you enjoy learning about in English class this year (āĻāĻ āĻŦāĻāϰ āĻংāϰেāĻি āĻ্āϞাāϏে āϤুāĻŽি āĻী āĻļিāĻāϤে āĻāĻĒāĻোāĻ āĻāϰেāĻ)?

Answer:
1. My favourite story was “The Hare and the Tortoise” (āĻāĻŽাāϰ āĻĒ্āϰিāϝ় āĻāϞ্āĻĒ āĻিāϞ "The Hare and the Tortoise").
2. I enjoyed almost all lessons, but the grammatical items attracted me the most (āĻāĻŽি āĻĒ্āϰাāϝ় āϏāĻŽāϏ্āϤ āĻĒাāĻ āĻāĻĒāĻোāĻ āĻāϰেāĻিāϞাāĻŽ, āϤāĻŦে āĻŦ্āϝাāĻāϰāĻŖāĻāϤ āĻāĻāĻেāĻŽāĻুāϞি āĻāĻŽাāĻে āϏāĻŦāĻেāϝ়ে āĻŦেāĻļি āĻāĻৃāώ্āĻ āĻāϰেāĻিāϞ).
3. I want to learn the English language more accurately in the next year (āĻāĻŽি āĻāĻাāĻŽী āĻŦāĻāϰেāϰ āĻŽāϧ্āϝে āĻāϰāĻ āϏāĻ িāĻāĻাāĻŦে āĻংāϰেāĻি āĻাāώা āĻļিāĻāϤে āĻাāĻ).
