In this first lesson, teacher Calleja introduces the concept of following instructions through a well-known Maltese story about Ġaħan and the door. The story serves as an example of how failing to properly understand instructions can lead to humorous situations. Students also learn about the importance of listening carefully to instructions by engaging with a recipe for potato and pea croquettes, which illustrates how following each step is essential for achieving good results in cooking. The lesson concludes with students answering questions related to the recipe to reinforce their understanding.
