Paragraph DON’T GIVE UP

A long, long time ago, there lived a boy named Rodney in a village.
A
He was very happy with his family. Unfortunately, he and his fellow
villagers faced a severe drought each year. They desperately waited
for rain but with no luck. There was no water anywhere. All the
crops, land, and even trees died. The cattle started dying. People
had to go far away with the hope of getting water. As there was no
GP_ENGLISH Page 3 of 9 LESSON NOTE

rain, the stream was drying up slowly.

One night, Rodney said to the villagers, “Hey, we all have heard tales
from our grandparents about an underground river flowing through
our village. Why don’t we dig and see?” The villagers agreed and
B started digging. They dug for some days but gave up soon. However,
Rodney kept on digging. When people told him to give up, he said, “I
believe in what I’m doing.”

Then, one day, when he had dug deep enough, Rodney saw water.
His attitude of not giving up saved the whole village. “Never give up

C so easily,” Rodney advised all the villagers. Afterwards, they were

never short of water and whenever any problem arose, all the
villagers came together and found a solution.

She loves going to the beach in summer.
Tom hates decorating. He’s bad at it.
 We use want with the TO-infinitive form to talk about wishes and needs.
