Practice Text 12: "Going for a Drive"

Sometimes children want to grow up too fast.

They understand they're little,

but they want to be big.

Do you remember feeling that way?

That's the idea behind our next reading.

When a machine is on,

we can say it's running.

We can run a dishwasher,

and a car engine can be running.

Speaking of cars, do you know what it means

to go for a ride?

It means to take a ride in car

just for fun.

Listen for these expressions.

Did you ever get in trouble with your parents?

What adventures did you have as a child?
