Story 12: The Two Gifts

[Song] “Sing them over again to me, wonderful words of life.  Let me more of their beauty see, wonderful words of life.”

Hello, I’m Mrs. B!  Welcome to Lifeline English, the podcast that helps you know God and know English.

You can read the written script for today’s lesson online at lifelineenglish.com.

Today I want to teach you three words.

The first word is “best”. Best means “better than all others in quality or value.”  “Best” rhymes with “rest” and “nest”.  Okay, now you say “best”! That sounded good, but was that your best effort? I think you can do better. Try again. Say “Best”.  Excellent! 

The second word is “accept”. Can you say “accept”?  Accept.  Don't get the word “accept” confused with “except”.  In the story accept is used in two ways.  It means “to receive or take something offered”.  They offered him the job, and he accepted it.  Accept also means, “to allow someone to be part of a group; to look with favor or approval upon someone.”
John accepted Tom as a Facebook friend. The opposite of accept is to reject. 

Story 11: Clothed and Sent Out

[Song] “Sing them over again to me, wonderful words of life.  Let me more of their beauty see, wonderful words of life.”

Today I want to teach you three words.

The first word is angel.  Repeat after me: angel.  Angel.  Angels are powerful beings created by God.  They are much stronger than humans.  Usually, humans cannot see angels; they are invisible.  Most angels are good.  They always obey God.  But some angels rebelled against God.  One of these bad angels is named Satan.  The other bad angels now obey Satan. 

The second word is sword.  Sword rhymes with “Lord”.  Can you say sword?  Sword.  A sword is a sharp weapon, usually made of metal.  It is similar to a knife, but longer, and it is shorter than a spear.
