Introduction

This teacher’s guide is the fifth in a series of seven teacher’s guides which are developed to provide some necessary teaching techniques along with the textbooks. The teacher’s guide will help teachers conduct their teaching effectively. It includes the necessary steps of teaching with clear instruction that teachers can follow easily. Moreover, this teacher’s guide has given some useful ideas to teachers and students for preparing the teaching aids to use in their classes by themselves.

It also includes the keys of the lessons, some reading texts for listening, some songs and games. The teaching will be effective if the teachers read the teacher’s guide and textbook before teaching the lessons to students. Therefore, it is necessary for teachers to have the teacher’s guide along with the textbook.

However, the teacher’s guide is produced under the time pressure that it cannot be probed into every needed area. Some minor errors may also contain in some instructions. The Foreign Language Resource Centre highly appreciates all comments and suggestions from users and these are considered as a great contribution to the development of teaching techniques of Lao teachers. The Research Institute for Educational Sciences avails itself of this opportunity to express its sincere thanks to all contributors.

Chamnong is talking to Deng, his classmate about his kitchen: “Our kitchen is simple, and it has the same things as most Lao kitchens. There’s a motar and pestle, which we use for crushing chillies to make chilli sauce and papaya salad. We also have a chopping board. We use it for chopping meat and vegetables. There’s a large basket where we keep the sticky rice after it has been cooked. We also have a lot of small sticky rice baskets for serving the rice to the family and guests. We have some aluminium pans for cooking, and some bowls for serving soup. When I am preparing food in the kitchen, I sit on a low wooden stool. You can see stools like this in any traditional Lao house”.

B.

Once up on a time the crow was white and the peacock was black.

They were friends. One day they decided to paint their feathers to

make themselves beautiful. First the crow painted the peacock. He

carefully painted a beautiful design on each tail feather, using many

colours. The peacock was very happy.

D.

When the had finished, the peacock started to paint the crow. He

painted some designs on the crow’s wings, and he was deciding

what colours to use next.

A.

While the crow is being painted, he looked up and saw some

vultures in the sky. He saw the vultures come down and land in a

field. He knew that vultures eat the same kind of food as crows, and

he thought that there must be some food in the field.

Unit 4 66

C.

He said to the peacock, “ Hurry up! Finish quickly-I want to go to

that field. Pour the paint over me”. So the peacock poured the black

paint over him. Today the crow is still black and the peacock is still

beautifully coloured.

Mum, you are the anchor of my life and my greatest support. You are the best

and you are the music in me.

You are the ONE person on this whole earth who understood me always and

you will never know how SPECIAL you are to me. Mum, your ARMS were

always there when I needed a hug. Your heart understood when I needed a

friend. Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson and your strength

and love has guided me and gave me WINGS to fly.

If I knew as a child what I know now, mom, I probably wouldn't have made

things so HARD for you. I should understand that you were looking out for my

best INTEREST even though it may not be impossible. I should realize how

fortunate I was to have a MOTHER who was always there for me. Mum, I

know it's too LATE for a lot of things, but it's not too late for me to tell you

that I appreciate how loving you are. Mom I want you to know that you are

always in my HEART and you will always be there forever. I love you mom

with all my heart.

: Shopping in Vientiane

Going shopping in Laos can PROVIDE you with a variety of local goods that

would surely make great SOUVENIR. But, first, you need to consider where to

go in order to buy these items. You can go to local and WINDOW shops or

markets in almost every village and shopping centers in the center of towns. In

the local shops or markets, you can find all KINDS of cheaper souvenirs such

as t-shirts, lamps, textiles, crafts, decorations, pillowcases and even local foods,

fruits, organic vegetables and etc. Meanwhile, if you would like to BUY some

fine and better quality products, then the big SHOPPING center like Morning

Market is the perfect place to visit. The STORES offer greater variety of

items with beautiful ORIGINAL patterns that you would really want to buy

before you go back HOME Buying locally made Lao products is a good way to

contribute to the local economy and helps preserve traditional products, many

of which are the products of the DIFFERENT hill tribes in Laos.
