Everyday English Adventure
Aliah, a bright and curious 9-year-old, faces a challenge when her rural school in Taman Negara is tasked with hosting a cultural exchange event. With the pressure to impress and the fear of misunderstandings, Aliah must learn the true meaning of tolerance and communication to ensure the success of the event.
Aliah was excited about the big day at her school in Taman Negara. Her teacher had announced a cultural exchange event with students from different parts of the country. The problem was, Aliah worried about how they would communicate, as everyone spoke different languages. She felt responsible for making everyone feel welcome. - How will we talk to them? she asked her friend, Amir.
The first obstacle came when the students arrived, and everyone seemed shy and hesitant to talk. Aliah tried to start a conversation with a girl named Mei, but they both ended up giggling nervously instead. - Maybe they don't want to talk to us, Amir suggested. Aliah shook her head, determined to find a solution. - We just need to try harder! she insisted.
Aliah decided to organize a game to help break the ice, but it didn't go as planned. The instructions got lost in translation, and everyone seemed more confused. - This is harder than I thought, Aliah sighed. Her friend Amir tried to help, but even he was struggling. - Maybe we should ask the teacher for help, he suggested.
Feeling overwhelmed, Aliah considered giving up. She sat down on a bench, watching the students remain in their separate groups. - I don't think I can do this, she confessed to Amir. He patted her on the back, trying to encourage her. - We can't give up now, Aliah. Maybe we're missing something simple.
Suddenly, Aliah had an idea. She remembered the power of music and suggested they all learn a simple song together. - Music is a language everyone understands! Aliah exclaimed. With Amir's help, they gathered everyone and started singing a cheerful song. Slowly, the students began to join in, their voices mixing harmoniously.
With the music bringing everyone together, the atmosphere changed. Students began chatting, laughing, and sharing stories. The event turned out to be a success, and Aliah learned that patience and understanding can bridge any gap. - We did it, Amir! she cheered. They both realized that tolerance and communication are key to understanding each other.
