3 . Work sound

    The learning of Basic English is a sort of work. I do it with my brain. I may do other sorts of work with my hands. I may take some cloth and make a coat.     Some cloth and my scissors are on the table. My scissors are sharp. The cloth is cut. I put a pin here and a pin there. I take a needle and a thread. I put the thread through the hole in the needle, and make a knot at the end of it. I put the sharp point of the needle against the cloth. I take it through with a push at one end and a pull at the other end, and I make a stitch.     I have not a good needle. This is a bad needle. It is bent. Good needles are straight.     I put a button on the coat. The coat is ready.     After work my body is tired, and I have some rest.
