Anna: Hurry up, Kate. Dad is waiting for us outside the school. He said he’d help us with our science
project on living things.
Kate: I’m coming. Wait for me!
(Anna runs and falls)
Anna: Ouch!
Dad: Oh dear. Are you OK?
Anna: It hurts, Dad. The rock was in my way. It made me fall.
Dad: Anna, it’s a rock. A rock isn’t a living thing. It can’t make you fall.
Anna: Dad, how do we know if something is a living thing?
Dad: Well, living things are things that can move, grow, and change.
Anna: But, Dad, a rock can move. I saw it rolling on the ground.
Kate: I think Anna is confused.
Dad: Does a rock move, Kate?
Kate: No, it doesn’t. A rock cannot move, grow, or change.
Dad: Very good, Kate. Anna saw a rock rolling. But it didn’t move by itself. A rock can only move when
we push or pull it.
Anna: Oh, I see. A living thing can move. So, a tree is not a living thing because it can’t move. Is that correct,
Dad?
Dad: Hmmm, good question. A tree can move. But it doesn’t move like animals do.
For example, look at a sunflower, you can see that it turns toward the sun.
Anna: That’s interesting. And when the sunflower grows, it gives us beautiful flowers.
Dad: Correct. And you can see it changes a lot when it grows. It gets taller and bigger.
Anna: I understand. So, are those all of the features of living things, Dad?
Dad: There are more features, Anna. You and Kate can find them on the internet.
Kate: Really? Let’s check it out, Anna. Did you bring along your tablet?
Anna: Yes. Let me check... Ah, look here. This website says that living things can respire and reproduce.
Dad: That’s right. Take humans as an example. We can breathe the air and have children.
Anna + Kate: Wow! How interesting!
Dad: Now, Kate. Can you give me two examples of living things?
Kate: Let’s see. How about my pet cat and fish at home?
Dad: Correct. And Anna, can you think of some things that aren’t living things?
Anna: Hmmm, how about hats, bags and shoes?
Dad: Well done, Anna. You got it!
Anna: Thanks, Dad!
Kate: Anna, I think we have the information we need. Let’s go home and finish the project.
Dad: Alright. It’s getting late. Let me take you home.

LISTENING SCRIPTS
Task 1
Good morning students. Today, we are going to learn about plants and their parts.
As you can see in the picture here, most plants have roots, a stem, and leaves. And they have flowers,
fruits, and seeds as well.
Now, let’s look at the roots first. We usually can’t see plant roots as they are under the ground. The
roots help to keep the plant standing up and importantly, they also get water and food from the soil
to help the plant grow. Another important part of the plant is the stem.
The stem carries the water and nutrients through the plant.
It also holds up the leaves to make sure they can get sunlight. As you know, leaves need air, water, and
sunlight to make food for the plant.

Task 2
Okay, now you know the parts of a plant. Let’s write down the names of the different parts here in
this picture.
Next, let’s look more closely at the life cycle of a plant. A tomato plant, for example, starts from a
seed. If you put the seed into some soil and add some water, after a couple of days, the roots and a
stem will come out of the seed, making a new tomato plant. The plant then uses the nutrients from
the soil and grows in the sunlight. When it is mature, it will have flowers. And here are the flowers.
The flowers then make fruits that have seeds inside. The fruits of the tomato plant have many seeds,
but some other plants’ fruits, such as mangoes, have only one seed. These seeds can be planted so
that they grow into new plants and the cycle starts over again.

Task 3
So are plants important to us? The answer, of course, is “Yes. Definitely”. Firstly, plants release oxygen
into the air that humans and other animals need to breathe. Secondly, plants are the basic source of
food for all living things. Think about all the vegetables, fruits and nuts we get from plants! Thirdly,
plants provide wood to build houses and make paper. Look around you, what can you see that is
made of wood? And finally, plants also have the materials we need to produce many perfumes and
medicines. So now you can see how important plants are.
