You know the world of English is a fascinating place to be. I’m so glad you could join me for another lesson.
“Hello”!
“Oh here comes that silly man!”
“I’m outta here!”


Hi every body, this is Mister Duncan in England. How are you today? Are you OK? I hope so. Are you happy? I hope so.

In today’s lesson, we are going to explore a part of our world that affects all of us everyday.
In this lesson, we are going to look at rules.
The world of rules

The most simple way to explain rules is to say that they are a set of instructions which must be followed or obeyed.
There are many other words that relate to or mean rules. For example, rules can also be called cautions:

Rules affects our everyday lives and they are sometimes very hard to avoid, even in the most simple of places.
Maybe you are just walking along the street.
I imagine it would be hard to miss all of the sign which are posted around, giving warning and laying down rules which must be obeyed.
The most common way to explain a rule is by writing it down, either by listing all the rules in a book or by posting them on signs which can easily be seen by everyone.
Let’s take a look at some rule signs or as they are more commonly known warning signs.
How many can you recognise?

Examples of warning signs:
No cycling!
No Entry: You cannot come in here.
No skating allowed!
Beware of by coming bicycles.
Keep clear: Do not block this area!
You cannot fill your gas cans here.
Poison: do not eat this!
No smoking allowed!
Beware of people crossing the road!
No parking allowed.
No motorized vehicles can be used here!
Do not drop your litter, you will be fined!
No children allowed!
No photography allowed!
Please clean up after your dog!
Beware of camels crossing the road!
Danger, high voltage electricity nearby!
Do not feed the penguins!
No ball games allowed!
Beware of falling rocks!
Danger, deep water nearby!
No spitting allowed!

So as you can see rules are all around us and you must follow them.
Although it is worth mentioning that sometimes people do not follow them. They break the rules, or go against them. Sometimes they are caught and often they are punished. If you are caught breaking a rule, you may have to pay some money. This is called “fine”. Or even worse, you may have to go to the police station!!

“Stop … Police!”
“You will never take me alive!”
Do you ever break the rules?
Have you ever been caught?
What happened to you?
People who always follow the rules are called “law abiding”! And people who often break the rules are called “Law Breakers”

That is all for today’s lesson. This is Mister Duncan in England saying Be good… Follow the rules. Stay out of trouble. And I will see you next time. Byebye for now!
