Watch the video and write a list of nouns and adjectives

Hello learners! This is Teacher Mohammad from read4more Academy, and this is a beginner
A2-level lesson. Today, you and I will learn about shapes and how to use them to describe
objects in real life. In the end of the lesson, you will get a 3D tour to help you practice.
So watch till the end, open your notebook and, start writing everything. Let’s get started.
You see all of these lovely shapes. Like I said, you will learn only four of them today.
So it’s super easy “still”. The shapes are: rectangle, triangle, square, circle.
Now, please listen and repeat after me: Rectangle, triangle, square, circle. Easy!
Please pause the video and repeat; practice until you get it just right.
Now let’s step it up a little bit and add some colors. Do you remember colors from A1 level?
Let’s review together. It’s a purple rectangle. It’s a clear triangle.
It’s a grey square. It’s an orange circle. Notice how we said an orange, not a orange.
Do you remember why? If you do, please comment below. Now pause the video, repeat, and practice
until you get it just right. Well done. But how can we use them in real life? Well, we use shapes
to describe objects in real life. But we need to change the word a little bit. So let’s step it up
a little bit and describe this door. It’s a rectangular door. It’s a triangular table.
It’s a square window. It’s a round ball. Notice how we use adjectives to describe objects
and things. We don’t use the nouns in this case. These are the nouns and these are the adjectives.
Now please pause the video, repeat, and practice describing these objects. Now let’s test your
understanding. Which answer is correct? It’s a (circle / round) ball. Of course, we choose (round)
because we use the adjective “round” to describe the object “ball”. Let’s try again. It’s a (triangle /
triangular) table. Again, we are describing the object “table”, so we use the adjective
“triangular”. Let’s try and step it up a little bit more and describe objects using shapes and colors
at the same time. For example, to describe this door, I can say it’s a rectangular white door.
To describe this table, I can say it’s a triangular green table. To describe this
window, I can say it’s a square yellow window. Now please look around you and describe objects
in your room using shapes and colors. Don’t forget to write your answers down as examples.
Also, you have a 3D tour to complete. So have fun and I will see you in the next lesson.

Write the list of nouns and adjectives in your notebook.
