b. The teacher will call two students to act out the scene presented
on the visual aids on the board.

Lexie: Good day, Aunt Viela, do you think planting in the urban area is enjoyable?
Aunt Viela: Of course, my niece. Planting is not just helpful for the environment, but it
also gives us a way to relieve our stress. It may be entertaining to watch plants growing
and it also makes us feel satisfied.
Lexie: Oh, I see your point, Auntie, but gardening could be tiring. You have to sit as you
dig and scoop some soil into the pots. You also have to always check on the leaves and
put fertilizer for it to grow. Besides, you get dirty working on it.
Aunt Viela: You may be right at some point, Lexie, but personally, I do not find it tiring.
When I am in the garden, I see the beauty of God’s creation. My energy is restored seeing
the beautiful green plants and colorful flowers even though I get dirty while gardening.
Lexie: I think you are right, Aunt Viela. Maybe I should try urban gardening too. I want to
do something new in this very quiet village because there are only a few things to see
here. I am confident that I can also grow lovely plants as you do.
Aunt Viela: That’s a nice idea, my dear niece! I will surely teach you how.
