Family and Feelings


Read my story. Then do the exercise at the bottom.

  • Family words are RED.
  • Feeling words are GREEN.
My baby boy was very sick. My wife and I were scared. We took him to the doctor. The doctor was worried, too. He said that the baby was very sick. He gave some medicine. Now the baby is OK. My wife and I are happy.

My Second Home


I lived in Vietnam for three years. Vietnam is a beautiful country.

I lived in Hoa Binh Province. It has many beautiful mountains, rice paddies and a big river.

I didn't have a car. I used my bicycle everyday.

I miss my "second home."
