Sequence

 

It means to look for the order of events in what you are learning .

For example, we use a sequence when we write about a process, like how to make a pizza; "first, you mix the dough, next, you make the sauce ..."

In this lesson, Anna, thinks about the sequence of her exprience with a beehive as a child. First, she hit the hive with a stick. Next, the bees came out and stung her. They were angry. Thinking about that sequence will make Annna more careful about hitting a beehive with a stick in the future!

Caroline agrees: "If you do those things, you will get stung."

 

AFind and Apply patterns 

 

It means to look for patterns in what you are learning.

For example, we use many patterns to communicate groups of sounds, letters, and words get our meaning across.

 

The other day, I made a speech about my car's inspection.

The expiry date of my vehicle inspection is the 26th August.

Because I thought my car needs a lot of maintenance and repair, I brought it to the gas station to have it inspected as early as possible.

After that, I got a call from the automobil mecanic just after the obon holiday.

At first, he wasn't explicit and spoke so sluggishly that I had a bad hunch.

And unfortunately, it came true.

He said that they found a lot of troubles with the suspension system of my car.

If I want to ride this car safely and comfortably from now till the next inspection for two years, I need to have my car fixed drastically.

Not only the suspension system but also its engine and so on.

In a nut shell, my love reaches the end of life.

To ride more, I need an alternative one.

If I don't do it, I can't get various parts for repairing my car.

I was totally shocked.

At first, I thought why it occurred suddenly.

I've given it my best shot in order to avoid this situation.

However, after a while, I got calm down.

Every time I think of my car, I always feel love and appreciated.

And this time as well.

Although it has been completely exhausted, it gave its all for me and I've kept driving at ease up until now.

So I've always wanted to be with it and I've encouraged it to run more till now.

However, this time I made a different decision. Now, I accept that it stops running.

If I want to drive more, my car may get out of order on the road someday.

I think that it may make my car feel worst and hurt it because it has given me safety over for 16 years..

My car is not a mere tool to move, but more like a buddy.

I accept it.
