Literacy to Learn 7 - Transcript

Voiceover: Long Van had her students brainstorm and suggest words that might be mentioned in a film.

Student: Me and Luke thought that ‘duty’, because you have to fight for your country. And we also thought ‘hope’, because in the war you would have hope that you would still survive.

Teacher: Very good. Can I have two words from your list?

Student: ‘Relationship’ because it looks like the old man and the child have a close relationship.

Teacher: Yes.

Student: And ‘courage’, because when you go to war, soldiers need a lot of courage.
