Look at the pictures and read the text. Learn how things develop in the sequence chain.
Read the time-order words and think about the reason why we use them.
Things develop in order. We can use time-order words (first, next, then, last, etc.) to describe the sequence of development.

Activity 2
Making inferences
Look at the map signs and predict what it is.
Look at the map signs first, and then follow the steps to learn how to make an inference.
Step 1: Looking for clues
The signs stand for different places on the map.
Step 2: Thinking about what you know
We can find these places on streets.
Step 3: Making an inference
It is a street map.
You can use context clues (texts, signs, symbols, etc.) and what you know to figure out something or the implied meaning of the text.
Read the text and tick (√ ) the answers.
