Description: This resource is based on a story about Raman, a well-behaved student who is struggling with his studies and feeling stressed. Observing his difficulties, his teacher takes the initiative to support and encourage him. Using a simple demonstration involving a bundle of sugarcane sticks, the teacher shows that a difficult task can become manageable when approached step by step. Through this experience, Raman gains confidence and learns the value of perseverance, consistent effort, and effective study habits. The resource develops students’ vocabulary, comprehension, speaking, grammar, and sentence-building skills while promoting resilience and positive learning behaviours.
