CRITICAL THINKING

EXCELLENT SWIMMER

Hello Smart English Education Viewers,

Everything is okay today? I truly hope you all are in good condition.

Well, guys. 

Today I have a special text we can discuss here. What is it?

Focus to the text below and try to understand.

It is the text:

Tom is smiling from ear to ear. He is smiling because he is thinking about swimming. Tom's an excellent swimmer. Right now, he's daydreaming about swimming in the sea with dolphins and whales. Tom feels the water on his back and on his legs and just then he feels a dolphin rubbing its fin against his right arm. "Ahhhh, he says.

 "That's nice. What's your name? Can you speak?

Tom's hearing children laughter first, then, "Tom wakes up. You're daydreaming again!" Tom opens his eyes and looks up. Mrs. Potter, his teacher, is tapping his arm to get his attention. She doesn't look very happy. He gives her his best smile but she turns her back to him and walks away, saying, "No play time for you today, Tom. You can help me clean the classroom instead." 

Tom sighs and look across the classroom at May. They've got plans for play time. Yesterday, he promised to play table tennis with her. Mary's very good at table tennis. 

Tom looks around at his classmates. He thinks that each of his friend has something she or he is good at. They are different but they can be friends with each other. Tom also looks at Mrs. Potter and thinks, "She's very patient. She's the best teacher ever!"

Tom looks at May. He can't see her face but he knows she's sad, "I need a plan." He thinks. "Mrs. Potter always tells us it's important to help each other." Tom remembers the shiny, red apple in his school bag and he smiles . . . just as the bell rings and all the children shout "Play Time!" and more towards the door.
