The task in the image is titled
"NAMING WORDS" and asks you to
"TICK THE PICTURES OF THE THINGS" — meaning you need to identify and mark (tick) the images that represent
things (objects or items), as opposed to living beings, body parts, or people.
Let’s go through each picture and determine whether it represents a
"thing" (an object/inanimate item) or not:
---
🔹 Things (Inanimate Objects):
These are non-living, tangible objects:
1.
Television ✔ – A man-made electronic device.
2.
Bus ✔ – A vehicle.
3.
Tomato ✔ – A fruit/vegetable (a physical thing).
4.
Strawberry ✔ – A fruit (physical object).
5.
Boat ✔ – A water vehicle.
6.
Swing ✔ – A playground equipment.
7.
Umbrella ✔ – A portable object.
8.
Hand ✘ – Part of the body (not a "thing").
9.
Eye ✘ – Body part.
10.
Nose ✘ – Body part.
11.
Doctor ✘ – A person.
12.
Sister ✘ – A person.
13.
Baby ✘ – A person.
14.
Camel ✘ – Animal (living being).
15.
Tiger ✘ – Animal (living being).
Wait — let's reevaluate:
-
Tomato,
Strawberry,
Camel,
Tiger — these are
living things (plants or animals). But
tomato and
strawberry are often classified as
things in early learning contexts because they are
objects we can hold, eat, etc., even though they are from plants.
But in language learning for kids,
"things" usually means
inanimate objects — so
fruits may be considered
things, but
animals and
people are
not.
So, let's clarify:
---
✔ Tick these pictures (they are "things"):
1.
Television – Object
✔
2.
Bus – Vehicle
✔
3.
Tomato – Fruit (tangible object)
✔
4.
Strawberry – Fruit (tangible object)
✔
5.
Boat – Vehicle
✔
6.
Swing – Playground object
✔
7.
Umbrella – Object
✔
> Note:
Tomato and
Strawberry are technically fruits (from plants), but in early education, they are often grouped under "things" because they are physical objects.

-

parts of living plants. However, in basic vocabulary tasks, they are often included as "things."

🔍 Explanation:
The instruction says "tick the pictures of the things." In early language learning, "things" typically refers to
non-living, inanimate objects that can be used or held. While fruits like tomato and strawberry come from living plants, they are treated as
objects in such exercises.
Animals (camel, tiger), people (doctor, sister, baby), and body parts (eye, nose, hand) are
not considered "things" in this context.

✔ So,
tick:
- Television
- Bus
- Tomato
- Strawberry
- Boat
- Swing
- Umbrella
🚫 Do
not tick:
- Camel, Tiger, Doctor, Sister, Baby, Eye, Nose, Hand
Let me know if you want a visual representation of the ticks!
