Today I want to teach you four words.

The first word is throne.  Can you say it?  Throne.  Throne.  A throne is the special chair on which a king or queen sits. 
 
The next word is robe.  A robe is a piece of clothing worn on top of other clothes.  A robe is long and loose.  Some robes are worn in public to show that a person is important.  For example, judges wear robes when they are in the courtroom.  But other robes are worn by people relaxing in their homes.  We call these bathrobes.  Don’t wear a bathrobe when you go to the store!

Today I want to teach you two words.

The first word is destroy.  To destroy means to hurt or damage something so much that it ends or dies.  The ocean waves destroyed my sand castle.  The washing machine destroyed his cell phone.  

The other word is believe. To believe means to trust or agree that something or someone is true.  I believe it will rain tomorrow.   I believe the weather forecast on TV.  Do you believe in space aliens who travel in UFO’s?  Does he believe Barack Obama was a good president? 

I also want to teach you about cardinal and ordinal numbers.  I’m sure you already know the cardinal numbers in English.  Cardinal numbers are used for counting things.  They begin with one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.  Ordinal numbers are used for putting things in order.  The ordinal numbers begin like this: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth.

Today I want to teach you teach you three words.

The first word is punish.  To punish means to make someone suffer because they did something wrong.  Criminals like thieves and drug dealers are punished by being put in prison.  Very bad crimes like rape and murder may be punished by death.

The next word is spit.  To spit means to force something out of your mouth.  We spit out watermelon seeds when we eat watermelon.  After you brush your teeth, you spit out the toothpaste.

Today I want to teach you teach you three new words.

Do you know what “dice” are?  Dice are six-sided cubes.  Usually they are made of plastic or wood.  One side of the cube has one dot on it, another side has two dots, another side three dots, and so on… up through six dots.  People often use dice when they play games.  The dice choose a number between one and six.  A person rolls the dice, but the person does not know what number will be on top of the dice until the dice stops moving. 

The second word is “rough”.  Rough is the opposite of smooth.  Something that is rough has a surface that is bumpy or uneven.  Sandpaper is rough.  A cat’s tongue is rough.  The bark of a tree is rough.  An apple is not rough.
