Directions: Listen carefully to the dialogue that will be read twice.

Grandchild: Hello Grandpa. Can I ask you about my homework about proverbs? Grandpa: Sure, but can you speak slowly and clearly?

Grandchild: Oh! Im sorry for speaking quite fast. Our teacher gave us two proverbs to explain. First, truthful lips endure forever but a lying heart is best for moment. Grandpa: Well, that means to say that we have to be honest all the time because that lingers longer. Grandchild: Oh I see, how about this saying, Action speaks louder than words.? Grandpa: Suppose you promise your teacher you wont be late, do you think she will believe you? Grandchild: Perhaps no! Maybe yes! Grandpa: But if you come early to school, your teacher will surely be satisfied, doesnt she? Grandchild: Oh! Now I understand Grandpa. Thank you for explaining to me.
