Learners read short stories that each include a person, a place, and an action. After each story, they answer simple questions about who the story is about, where it takes place, and what the person is doing.
In this task, the learner practices understanding and reversing simple if–then causal relationships. Each story presents a short conditional statement (e.g., “If you press a button, then the light turns on.”). The learner answers reciprocal questions to show mutual entailment, such as: What happens if you press a button? → The light turns on. How do you turn the light on? → Press the button. This activity strengthens the learner’s ability to derive bidirectional (mutual) relations between everyday actions and their outcomes, helping develop flexible reasoning about cause and effect.
Learners read a short story and identify the key elements — who the story is about, what they are doing, where it happens, and when it happens. This builds understanding of event structure and relational framing across people, actions, places, and time.
