Thinking Skills: Understanding character development
How to understand character development
Exercise 1 Read the text and answer the questions.
Last year, I failed an important math exam. In the beginning, I felt very sad. I studied hard, but I still didn’t do well. I even thought I would never be good at math. I wanted to give up. But my teacher encouraged me. She said failure is a chance to learn. I decided to try again. I made a study plan and practiced every day. I also asked my friends for help. In the end, I took the exam again. This time, I got a good grade. I was happy and confident again.
What happened at first
Did “I” change in the middle If so, why
What happened in the end
Exercise 2 Read the text and draw a character-development chart.
Sam wanted to learn how to ride a bicycle. So, he asked his dad to teach him.
At first, Sam found it really hard. He always fell down. His knees got hurt, and he felt a bit sad. But his dad helped him and said, “You can do it!” Sam kept trying. Each time he fell, he got back on the bike. Slowly, he started to ride a little bit without falling. One sunny afternoon, Sam’s dad let go of the bike, and Sam kept riding all by himself! He was so excited that he rode around the park happily.
Beginning: Sam wanted ____________________, but he _________________.
Middle: His dad _____________________ and Sam _____________________.
End: Sam _______________________________________________________.
Reading Strategies Reading with a purpose
Exercise 1 Reading the text and answer the questions.
Growth brings many changes. When we are young, we are small and need help with many things. As we grow, we get taller and stronger. We learn to do things by ourselves. Our interests also change. We might like toys when we are little, but as we grow, we start to like books, music, or sports. We make new friends and learn new things. Our feelings change too. We might be shy when we are young, but as we grow, we become more confident. We learn to face challenges and solve problems. These changes help us become better people. Growth is a wonderful journey.

Growing up brings many questions and problems. This is normal! Here are easy ways to handle them. First, talk to someone you trust. Share your feelings with parents, teachers, or friends. They might have helpful advice or similar experiences. Second, remember mistakes help you learn. Failed tests show what to study more. Don’t fear mistakes. They’re practice for success. Lastly, be kind to yourself. Growing takes time. Celebrate small wins like making a new friend or solving a math problem. You’re doing better than you think!
