Riverside Notebook 20: A Connected Story

Nesta leitura, Dora participa de um projeto da biblioteca, cumprimenta Noah, pratica informações básicas e pede repetição com educação. Os cinco últimos temas aparecem em uma situação curta e conectada.

At the first meeting

Dora is at the neighborhood cafe in the morning. She says hello to Noah and says, “My name is Dora.” She also repeats “house” when Noah asks a friendly question. She is from Brazil, and she lives in Fortaleza.

At a small table, she practices “what” and “apartment” with a notebook. She asks about “how much” and checks “expensive”, while Noah gives a clear example with “free” and “busy”.

Practicing together

Before she leaves, Noah writes a short message with “routine”, “where”, and “direction”. The sound is not clear, so Dora asks, “Can you repeat that, please?” Then they smile, say goodbye, and go home.

At lunch, Dora shows Noah the same message again. They point to “house” and “expensive”, read the words slowly, and check each other’s answer.

A small routine

In the afternoon, Dora uses “busy” and “direction” in a short conversation. It is not perfect, but the two friends understand each other and feel ready for tomorrow.
