Listen to a story and consider any lesson or point that you think you can learn from it. 

What do you notice in the story that is different from your country?

And what do you think it tells you about the country it comes from?

You may like to listen to a story with a friend and then discuss these questions together. David’s YouTube channels has stories for primary school children, for secondary school students and for adults.
