Day 1- Animals and Plants

After covering the grammar section, the class will proceed with texts and videos about the natural world, and as usual, it will conclude with chats and conversations.

Grammar: Today, participants will learn about the passive structure. Since it is considered advanced grammar, learning the passive voice helps students improve both writing and speaking skills.

Reading: Wildlife is an integral part of nature. The following excerpt from Epca briefly highlights the reasons for its importance. Students are expected to comprehend and retell the text: اهمیت حیات وحش برای محیط زیست

Listening: In Iran and other countries, jungles are at risk due to mismanagement and human activities. Today, we will hear from an expert about the dangers and possible solutions for this issue: مظفر شیروانی، متخصص و مشاور بین المللی جنگل و محیط زیست - به عبارت دیگر

Conversation topic: What is the importance of nature, animals, and plants?

Homework:
- Compose new sentences with the new verbs in passive voice.
- Writing: choose a related topic and write an essay (at least 600 words).
