    Activity 2: PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

    Directions: With your partner, take turns in reading this paragraph properly. Be sure to put emphasis to a

    Then a ploughman said, "Speak to us of Work."

    You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth. For to be idle is to become a
    stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life's procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission
    towards the infinite.

    Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you
    should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

    And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine. And if you sing
    though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of
    the night.
