The Old Brown Horse Exercise
What happens to farm animals when they get too old to work? How are they cared for, if indeed they are cared for
at all? A touching poem about an old horse put out to pasture may lead to thoughts about animals in general and
the relationship they have with humans.
A Understanding the poem
1. Answer the following questions.
a. We learn that the horse is weary, old, shaggy, not very well cared for, and a bit sad; but the horse responds to human touch.
b. Stop for a word or two and touch him softly.
c. The horse feels good when a passer-by strokes its mane and shaggy coat.
These questions are more difficult. Discuss them first.
d. The horse is old; time has passed and brought new methods of transport such as the motor car.
e. The master. Because he is busy driving his motor car.
f. Pupils will think of ways to make the horse’s last years comfortable.
2. Mark these statements as true (T) or false (F).
a. F
b. T
c. F
d. F
****************************
3. Answer the following questions with reference to context.
a. ‘Oh, thank you, friend, for the kindly thought For a horse who has had his day.’ The underlined phrase means: c. has now grown old
4. Do you think there is a rhyming pattern in the poem? What is it? The odd lines rhyme: a b c b d e f e
5. Which words and expressions tell us that the poet cares about the horse?
The poet makes the horse sound pitiable, and resigned to its fate through these words expressions:
‘I’m simply watching’,
‘Nobody seems to mind...
a horse who is lame and half-blind’,
‘makes him feel quite sad’,
‘gives a little sigh’,
‘once as full of life as you’, etc.
The Old Brown Horse
1 21 B Working with words
Here are some words from the poem: they may be used when speaking about horses and riding.
Students talk about the words. What do they mean?
Here are some other words. Which words may be added to the list above? Circle them. If you don’t know the meanings, look them up in a dictionary.
The following words are connected with horses and riding. Ask the pupils to find out how they are related by looking in a dictionary. Why have the other words been excluded from the list? What do they mean?
race stirrup fetlock saddle rein jump
gallop canter Shetlandpony shoe hoof
C Learning about Language
Revise what pupils know about subject and predicate. The text gives the basic information. 1. Add suitable predicates to the following to make sentences.
The pupils will write their own sentences—ensure that they use some imagination to produce interesting sentences.
2. Underline only the main noun and the main verb.
a. The boy walked along briskly.
b. His dog followed closely behind.
c. The long electric train crashed into the back of a goods train.
d. Saima and Alina are playing in the garden.
e. We heard them crying.
f. The elephant has large ears.
g. Parvez and Shahid live in Multan.
D Listening and Speaking
Vowel sounds
In English there are five vowels, ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, and ‘u’. In most languages, the vowel sounds always remain the same, but in English this does not happen. For example, take the words put and but. The ‘u’ sound in put is like the ‘oo’ sound in foot. The ‘u’ sound in but is like the ‘u’ in mud, hut, and gum. Read this list of words aloud. Note how ‘e’ at the end of the word changes the sound of the previous vowel.
This is a phonic exercise to distinguish between long and short medial vowel sounds. It may seem like an easy exercise and be dismissed by some, but it is well worth drilling. Correct pronunciation of words helps with good understanding of what is being said. E Composition
1. Activity Here are some suggestions, but allow the pupils to make their own lists first. Appearance Sounds Movement The sea blue, green, white (surf),
black lap, crash, roar, gentle, rough, rush, flow, eddy, tide, swirl, creep 22 1
The rain clear, sparkling, silver, grey, muddy
pitter-patter, drum, splash, squelch
slashing, pouring, cats and dogs, draining
A river blue, green, grey, reflecting sunshine, silver
trickle, roar, lapping, tinkling, gushing
swirling, washing, tumbling, cascading
A storm dark, black, purple, grey, gloomy
thunder, rumble, lightning, crack, crash
wind howling, roaring, blowing through the trees, swaying, bending, flapping, clouds scudding
A hot, sunny day clear, bright, dazzling, yellow, orange, red
stillness, birds, buzz, hum, laughter
very little mind; a faint breeze; wind, a crow cawing
2. Write a poem.
Pupils will use words from their table to compose a poem. Share the poems in class.
Workbook: pages 16–20
A Subject and Predicate: revision
1. Underline the main nouns (subjects) and the main (active) verbs in the following.
Note that in some sentences there is more than one active verb (huffed, puffed; dismounted, lay, sat,).

It (The day) was a sunny day. The children huffed and puffed as they rode up the hill on their bicycles.
When they got to the top they dismounted, (they) lay their bicycles on the grass and (they) sat on some large rocks beside the road. Far below them they could see a river winding its way past a small village. All the human figures below looked minute, like tiny toys in a make-believe land. 2. Rewrite the sentences in the table below.
