Good Habits, Bad Habits | Slow English Listening Practice (A2)

Today is going to be another wonderful day! Making my bed every morning helps keep my room clean and makes me feel ready for school. Max, wake up! It is already morning. If you stay in bed much longer, you will be late for school. Five more minutes, mom, please. I am still very sleepy and I really don't want to get up yet. Alright, I'm getting up now. I still feel sleepy, but I don't want to be late for school today. Good morning, mom. Good morning, dad. Did you both sleep well? I hope you have a wonderful morning today. Yes, sweetie. We slept very well. Here is your breakfast. I hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful day at school. Thank you, dad. Everything looks delicious today. I can't wait to enjoy breakfast with all of you. I'm really hungry. Please give me something to eat right now. I can't wait any longer. Max, slow down, please. Remember to use your magic words. Good manners always make people feel respected and happy. Okay. May I have my breakfast now? I'm really hungry this morning. Please eat your eggs, Max. They are healthy and they will give you energy for a busy day at school. I don't really want eggs today. I was hoping we could have warm pancakes instead. I know you like pancakes, Max, but today's breakfast is eggs. Let's eat together and enjoy our morning as a family. I'm really hungry. Can I have my breakfast now? But I don't want eggs today. I really want pancakes instead. When you finish your breakfast, please remember to take your plate to the sink. Cleaning up is also a good manner. I'll do it later. Bye, everyone. I don't want to be late for school. Have a wonderful day, Mom and Dad. I'll do my best at school today and see you both this afternoon. Good morning, Mrs. Gable. Good morning, Mrs. Miller. I hope you have a lovely day. Your flowers look beautiful this morning. Thank you, Lily. You too. Max, wait a moment. You dropped your trash. Please pick it up and put it in the trash bin. I don't think it's a big problem. The wind will blow it away, and we should hurry to school now. Keeping our neighborhood clean is everyone's job. It only takes a few seconds to throw trash away properly. Good morning, Max. Morning, Lily. Looks like we're just in time. Good morning, Lily. Good morning, Max. Hurry, the bell is about to ring. Let's go to class. Okay. Good morning, everyone. I hope you are ready to learn something fun and important together today. Good morning, Mr. Thomas. We are happy to see you and we are ready to learn today. That's wonderful to hear. Let's begin. Mr. Thomas, can we play games now? I really want to play before we start today's lesson. Please raise your hand before you speak, Max. Today we have a very special challenge for everyone in our class. Wow, a challenge? The most polite student today will receive this special golden apple badge. Let's all do our very best. I'm going to win that golden apple badge today. I think it will be very easy for me. Let's practice good manners together. Max, what should you say when someone helps you with something? Hmm, maybe I should say, I win. Is that the right answer, Mr. Thomas? That is not the right answer, Max. Don't worry. Learning good manners takes practice and everyone can improve. Lily, would you like to help us? Please tell the class what we should say when someone helps us. When someone helps us, we should always smile and say, Thank you. It is a kind and polite thing to do. Excellent answer, Lily. Saying thank you shows respect, kindness, and good manners to everyone around us. Lily, would you please help me give these notebooks to everyone in the class? Thank you for always being so helpful. Here is your notebook, Chloe. I hope you have a great lesson today. Thank you very much, Lily. That was very kind of you. I really appreciate your help. You're welcome, Chloe. I'm always happy to help my friends whenever I can. Here is your notebook, Max. I hope it helps you with today's lesson. Okay, I got it. Now I can start today's lesson. This notebook looks nice. Max, did you forget something? Think carefully. What should we say when someone helps us? Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you very much, Lily. Thank you for bringing my notebook to me. You're welcome, Max. I'm happy that you remembered your good manners. We can all keep learning together. Keep up, slowpokes! Oh, no! Chloe, watch out! Ouch! I tripped over something. My knee hurts a little, but I think I'll be okay. Watch out, Chloe! You're blocking the way! I need to catch the ball before it rolls away! Are you okay, Chloe? Let me help you stand up. Please take your time. Everything will be okay. Thank you so much, Lily. That was very kind of you. I feel much better now because you helped me. Look! What is that? What is it, Max? Wow! This is such a cool smart watch. It looks brand new, and I've always wanted one like this. Wait a minute, Max. Someone must have lost that watch. We should find the owner before making any decisions. But I found it first. Maybe nobody knows it's here. I could keep it and use it every day. Think about how the owner feels right now. If you lost something important, wouldn't you hope that an honest person would return it? Maybe you're right, Lily. If I lost something this special, I would feel very sad and hope someone returned it to me. I'm proud of you, Max. Thanks, Lily. Choosing to do the right thing is not always easy, but it always makes you a better person. Come on! You're right. This watch doesn't belong to me. Let's return it to Mr. Thomas right away. Mr. Thomas, we found this smart watch on the playground. We think someone lost it. We'll bring it to you. Thank you, Max. Thank you, Lily. This smart watch is mine, and I have been looking for it everywhere since recess began. At first, I wanted to keep it because it looked really cool. But Lily helped me understand that returning it was the right thing to do. That makes me even prouder of you, Max. Being honest means choosing the right thing, even when it is difficult. Good morning, everyone. I have something truly special to announce today, this smart watch. Before everyone goes home today, I would like to recognize two students who showed kindness, honesty, and wonderful manners. Max and Lily found my smart watch and returned it immediately. They chose honesty over keeping something that did not belong to them. For always being kind, polite, and helping everyone with a happy heart. Heart! Congratulations, Lily. Thank you very much, Mr. Thomas. I will always try to be kind, honest, and helpful to everyone around me. Max, please stand up for a moment. I also have something important that I would like to say to you. Me? Are you talking about me, Mr. Thomas? I didn't expect that at all. Yes, Max. I am proud of you because you made an honest choice today. You listened, you thought carefully, and you decided to do the right thing. Thank you, Mr. Thomas. Today I learned that being honest feels much better than keeping something that isn't mine. Great job, Max. Everyone can become a better person when they choose honesty and kindness. Excellent work today, everyone. I'm so proud of you. Let's head out.
