Once there was a girl called Princess Polite but people in her castle called her Polly or Polly Polite. One day a
super star came to her castle. Polly said
“Why have you come here? And what is your name?” The super star said
“My name is Sarah Jones. I’m here to rock out on your castles stage!” Polly said
“I don’t have a stage in my castle!”
“Ooooh dear!” Sarah cried. Polly said
“I will make a grand stage just for you and I will name it Stage Sarah.” Sarah said
“You don’t have to call it stage Sarah.” Polly called for the best builders in the land to come build the stage.
The building started. It took them two years to build it! Polly called Sarah on the phone.
“It’s finished come see!” Polly said.
“Sure, I’ll be there as soon as possible!” Super star Sarah said. Sarah brought a prince with her. Polly said
“Where did you find him and what’s his name?”
“James Sammy and I met him at a wedding.” Sarah said.
“Oh how sweet!” Polly said.
“Nice to meet you Polly Polite.” the handsome prince said.
“You smell like tuna!’ Polly said.
“Oh.” He said.
“We are here to get married!” Sarah said.
“Wait, I thought we were here to see you rock out. I don’t want to marry you!” James said, “I want to marry
Polly!”
Polly married the prince. The rock star rocked out on the stage but was crying the whole time. She stopped
crying for a moment then she cried into a bucket it had a thousand drips in it and it went all the way up to the
top. She had to tip it out and start all over again. The prince and the princess lived happily ever after. The rock
star spent the rest of her life crying a million tears into a bucket and starting all over again and again and again
and again and again and again and again and again
Greedy Boy
There lived a twin brother called Sam and Tom! They were identical twins, even their
mother found it too hard to differentiate between them during the initial months of birth.
However, they were like two poles when it comes to everything other than their
appearance. They neither agree with anything nor do they share even one single trait!
Sam had no friends, whereas for Tom the world was friendship. Sam loved sweets and
Tom loved to eat spicy foods. Sam was mommy’s pet and Tom was daddy’s pet. While
Sam was generous, Tom was greedy!
As they grew up, their father wanted to share his fortune equally. However, Tom did not
agree and he argued that whoever is more intelligent and strong, will gain higher share of
wealth than other.
Sam agreed. Their father decided to organize a competition between the two. And they ordered the two sons to
walk as long as they can in and they should return home before the sunset. Whoever covers the longer distance
and returns home before sunset will get huge amount of wealth proportionate to the distance they covered. They
don’t carry watch to calculate time.
Both started to walk a long way during a sunny day. Sam walked slowly and steadily, while Tom urged to win
over Sam started to run instantly.
The distance they cover until mid-noon will be equal to the distance they would reach home before sunset. It
was mid-noon and Sam decided to return back as he could reach home on time.
However, Tom, with his greediness to earn more wealth, did not turn his way back home even after mid-noon.
He walked two times longer distance that what Sam was covered and decided to return back before the sunset.
He urged to return home as the Sun turned orange in the evening. Unfortunately, he could not even make half
way to home and the moon rises.

Read the story and summarize it by filling in the semantic web below.
One hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After walking around
for some time, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to
climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell
into the water.
She could have drowned if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her.
Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly plucked off a leaf and
dropped it into the water near the struggling ant. The ant moved towards
the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.
Just at that time, a hunter nearby was throwing out his net towards the
dove, hoping to trap it.
Guessing what he was about to do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his
net. The dove was quick to fly away to safety.

Exercise 1
Using the pictures below, write a simple dialogue with Formal and Informal English.
Remember
A film, also called a movie, motion picture or photoplay, is a series of still images which, when shown
on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon.
The different forms and conventions of films are:
Characterization - describe the depiction of a character in a movie
Acting is the work of an actor or actress, which is a person in theatre, television, film, or any
other storytelling medium who tells the story by portraying a character and,
usually, speaking or singing the written text or play.
Dialog – the things that are said by the characters in a movie; a discussion/ conversation
between two or more people
Setting or set up – the time, place, circumstances in which a film takes place
Direction – the instructions given to the actors and other people working on a film
Blocking is the positioning and movement of the characters to tell the story in visual term
Lighting - the use of various light sources, both artificial and natural, to achieve some aesthetic
or practical effect while illuminating a scene.
Formal language is using standard English (not slang) and appropriate grammar when
speaking or writing. Informal language is the language we use when we feel very
comfortable and casual around people. For example, talking with or writing to our peers,
close friends, and family may be appropriate times to use informal speech. You may
choose to use slang or some inappropriate grammar. Informal language does not require
standard English.
