Read the following story and do the tasks below:

Last year, I was studying English at school. The lesson was about vocabulary of animals. During the
lesson, the teacher asked a student to draw (‫ )رسم‬an elephant on the board. Then, the student went
to the board and put a very small point on the board. After that, he came back to his place. The teacher
didn’t understand! He asked the student.
Teacher: “That isn’t an elephant, Jack! It is just a point on the board”
