Meet Ginger
Welcome to Session 2. First we're going to do an activity to make sure you understand what we learned in Session 1. Then we'll do some exercises to help you give better descriptions.
So, let us introduce you to Ginger, a cat who's ginger... in colour!
Listen to Ginger's owner and try the activity.
ድምፁን ያድምጡ

My cat Ginger is 5 years old. He's ginger in colour, of course, and quite big and strong, and very independent.
He likes running in the house and fighting with other cats. He loves catching birds, and sometimes frogs. But he still likes cat food the most.
In fact, he's hungry now. He's always hungry. Ok, Ginger, I'm coming!
