DESCRIPTION: Review of the first week — classroom commands and objects, numbers, money, jobs, days, and greetings. The final part, Extra Practice: Reading and Writing Letters, is optional letter work for learners still getting comfortable with the alphabet.
$LESSON 5-1: Review — Commands, Words, and Questions
# Source: ST §Put This Book on the Desk, Please.
$DIALOGUE Commands: On, Under, and In
ID: l5-s1
INTRO: This is the review of your first week — no new words today, just everything you've learned, back for a check. In this lesson you'll practice commands, classroom words, numbers, money, jobs, days, and greetings until they come out without thinking. First, commands with "put" — listen and repeat each sentence.
# SKIPPED (book): Reading Skill "Circle the same letters." (CLOCK CHALKBOARD STUDENT / PAGE DOCTOR NICKEL) — The source markdown omitted the key letters for each item, making the exercises unsolvable.
# SKIPPED (book): "DICTATION" (Listen and write the words) — Instructor-read with no recorded stimulus or given words. Convertible later with chosen items + TTS.
# SKIPPED (book): "WHAT IS LETTER 'A'? IT'S A LAB." and "WORDS AND PICTURES" — Teacher-led picture identification and a 26-item picture-naming grid with no answer key. Dropped.
INTRO: Someone asks what you are. Each job word is missing its first two letters — type them to complete it. You met all these people in the first four lessons.
INSTRUCTION: Type the missing letters to complete the word.
# SKIPPED (book): Listening Skill "SAME/DIFFERENT" — Instructor-read word-pair discrimination with no given words. Convertible later with chosen items + TTS.

$PRODUCE Complete the Sentences
ID: l5-s9
INTRO: Now put the week together. Each little exchange is missing a word or two — days, greetings, jobs, prepositions. Type what's missing.
INSTRUCTION: Type the missing word or words to complete each sentence.
INPUT: type
CHECK: exact
TEMPLATE: Today is Saturday. Tomorrow is ____{Sunday}.
RESPONSE: Today is Saturday. Tomorrow is Sunday.
TEMPLATE: How ____{are} you? ____{Fine}, thanks.
RESPONSE: How are you? Fine, thanks.
TEMPLATE: My ____{name} is Aldo. What ____{is|'s} your name?
RESPONSE: My name is Aldo. What is your name?
TEMPLATE: What are you? ____{I'm|I am} a doctor.
RESPONSE: What are you? I'm a doctor.
TEMPLATE: Is she a teacher? No, she ____{isn't|is not}.
RESPONSE: Is she a teacher? No, she isn't.
TEMPLATE: Go to lab ____{at} 9 o'clock.
RESPONSE: Go to lab at 9 o'clock.
TEMPLATE: The map is ____{on} the wall.
RESPONSE: The map is on the wall.
TEMPLATE: A, B, C, and D are capital ____{letters}.
RESPONSE: A, B, C, and D are capital letters.
TEMPLATE: Are you a teacher? No, ____{I'm|I am} not.
INTRO: Now answer for yourself. You'll hear a question — answer aloud in a full sentence. Most of the questions are about you, so any true answer works; nobody here will check your desk.
INSTRUCTION: Answer each question aloud in a full sentence.
RUBRIC: Most questions are about the learner's own situation — accept any grammatical, natural answer that addresses the question (yes or no both acceptable where the question allows both, e.g. whether today is Tuesday). For factual items, treat the model answer as the key (e.g. Saturday and Sunday are the weekend) and accept any phrasing or short form of the same fact.
INTRO: Part two is the week's test — thirty questions covering everything from lessons one to four. Tap the best answer for each one. Some questions you'll only hear, so listen first. No teacher is watching; the score is between you and the app.
INTRO: You made it through the test. One last dialog to say good morning — and goodbye to your first week. Repeat each line, then go rest; the next lesson will still be there tomorrow.
