The School Celebration

Sarah decided to organise a special celebration for her teacher's birthday. She wanted to communicate with all her classmates to help plan the surprise. First, she had to navigate through the busy playground to find everyone during lunch break.

"We need to coordinate our efforts," Sarah explained to her friends. "Let's create handmade cards and decorate the classroom. We should also memorise a special song to perform."

The students worked together to finalise their plans. They managed to surprise their teacher and celebrate her special day. It was wonderful to see how they could collaborate and demonstrate their appreciation.

Rate your fluency after three readings:

Excellent - smooth and expressive

Good - mostly smooth with minor pauses

Fair - some choppy reading

Needs practice - many pauses and hesitations
