Activity II: Reading
Colors and shapes are part of everyday life. We see them at home, at work, and in nature. We use color words to describe things like clothes, cars, or houses. For example, you might say, “I have a blue shirt,” or “Her bag is black and white.”
Shapes help us describe the form of objects. A clock is a circle. A window is a rectangle. A slice of pizza looks like a triangle. Shapes are useful when giving directions or shopping for items.
Knowing colors and shapes helps when we buy or describe things. If someone says, “I want the red book,” or “Give me the square box,” you will understand them clearly. This is also helpful in jobs like design, cleaning, or construction.
Can you name the colors around you right now? What shapes do you see? Try using these words in your next English conversation!
