小美 is feeling a bit down and doesn't want to talk. 李芳 gently encourages her to express her feelings and practices using the sentence patterns "I feel..." and "because...".
小美, why are you so quiet today? You don't want to talk?
Hmm... I don't want to talk today.
That's okay. Sometimes we feel unhappy. Do you want to tell me about it?
I feel a bit sad.
Can you tell me why? Try saying it with "because...".
Because I forgot to bring my favorite doll this morning.
Oh, I see. You really miss it, right?
Yeah, I think it might feel lonely.
小美, you are so caring. How about we draw a picture for it together?
Okay! I'll draw it smiling.
Great! You'll feel a bit happier after drawing.
