TASK 2: READING ALOUD (LEARNER’S COPY)

The teacher asks the learner to read the following story aloud.

Mariamu was always happy to visit her grandparents during the

school holidays. She knew her grandmother would cook a delicious meal

that she loved. However, this time Mariamu was sad because she

could not visit her grandparents. There was a pandemic and the

country was on a lockdown. This meant that there was no movement of

people in and out of all affected counties. Anyway, Mariamu was happy

to speak to her grandparents over the phone.

“Do not worry, Mariamu”, said the grandmother, “When the

lockdown is over, I will make sure you visit”.

“Thank you, grandmother,”, Mariamu said, “how is my hen?”

“Oh! Your hen has many chicks now”, grandmother replied.

Mariamu was happy to learn that her hen had many chicks. She

knew her grandfather would feed them. She was glad to wait until that

day when she would visit her grandparents again.
