00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:01,415
Hello everyone.

2
00:00:01,415 --> 00:00:02,827
Welcome to ReadMaster.

3
00:00:02,827 --> 00:00:05,896
I am your English reading coach, Minhee Teacher.

4
00:00:05,896 --> 00:00:11,960
Today we are starting The Girl Who Drank the Moon, and this is Part One: Moonlight and Stories.

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,793
Before we enter the forest, let's set up our reading camera.

6
00:00:15,793 --> 00:00:19,116
This story begins in a town called the Protectorate.

7
00:00:19,116 --> 00:00:22,439
The people in this town believe a frightening story.

8
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:28,567
They believe there is a witch in the woods, and they believe the witch wants a child every year.

9
00:00:28,567 --> 00:00:31,253
Now pause and ask a smart reader question.

10
00:00:31,253 --> 00:00:32,601
Who tells this story?

11
00:00:32,601 --> 00:00:33,630
Who believes it?

12
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:35,679
And who gets hurt because of it?

13
00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:38,684
In the first part, the village is full of fear.

14
00:00:38,684 --> 00:00:43,792
The adults follow an old rule because everyone around them says it must be true.

15
00:00:43,792 --> 00:00:48,518
But when the story moves into the forest, we see something very different.

16
00:00:48,518 --> 00:00:52,096
Xan, the witch, is not the monster the village imagines.

17
00:00:52,096 --> 00:00:55,674
She finds a baby, cares for her, and begins to love her.

18
00:00:55,674 --> 00:00:57,595
Here is the big turning point.

19
00:00:57,595 --> 00:01:03,786
Xan means to feed the baby with safe starlight, but she accidentally feeds her moonlight instead.

20
00:01:03,786 --> 00:01:06,154
In this world, moonlight is powerful.

21
00:01:06,154 --> 00:01:08,394
The baby becomes filled with magic.

22
00:01:08,394 --> 00:01:09,551
That baby is Luna.

23
00:01:09,551 --> 00:01:12,046
Let's explain the idea in a simple way.

24
00:01:12,046 --> 00:01:14,860
A scary story can become like a locked door.

25
00:01:14,860 --> 00:01:19,777
If everyone says, "Do not open it," people may stop asking what is behind it.

26
00:01:19,777 --> 00:01:22,017
But readers are brave door openers.

27
00:01:22,017 --> 00:01:23,174
We look carefully.

28
00:01:23,174 --> 00:01:31,086
We ask, "Is this story true, or is someone using fear to control people?" Part One also introduces the idea of found family.

29
00:01:31,086 --> 00:01:34,792
A found family is a family made by love, care, and choice.

30
00:01:34,792 --> 00:01:41,621
Luna does not begin her life in an easy way, but she is loved by unexpected people: Xan, Glerk, and Fyrian.

31
00:01:41,621 --> 00:01:44,307
Let's learn five useful words and phrases.

32
00:01:44,307 --> 00:01:45,400
First, sacrifice.

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,998
A sacrifice is something given up because people believe it is required.

34
00:01:49,998 --> 00:01:55,106
In the Protectorate, the village believes the sacrifice will keep everyone safe.

35
00:01:55,106 --> 00:01:56,071
Second, sorrow.

36
00:01:56,071 --> 00:01:57,737
Sorrow means deep sadness.

37
00:01:57,737 --> 00:01:59,531
The town is not just scared.

38
00:01:59,531 --> 00:02:01,197
It is also full of sorrow.

39
00:02:01,197 --> 00:02:02,162
Third, enmagic.

40
00:02:02,162 --> 00:02:06,760
In this story, to enmagic means to fill something or someone with magic.

41
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,637
Luna is accidentally enmagicked by moonlight.

42
00:02:09,637 --> 00:02:10,985
Fourth, protectorate.

43
00:02:10,985 --> 00:02:14,627
A protectorate is a place ruled and protected by leaders.

44
00:02:14,627 --> 00:02:19,353
But in this book, we must ask if the leaders are really protecting people.

45
00:02:19,353 --> 00:02:20,637
Fifth, found family.

46
00:02:20,637 --> 00:02:25,809
Found family means people who become family through love, not only through birth.

47
00:02:25,809 --> 00:02:27,667
Now let's practice shadowing.

48
00:02:27,667 --> 00:02:30,544
Listen first, then repeat with a clear voice.

49
00:02:30,544 --> 00:02:32,657
A scary story can control a town.

50
00:02:32,657 --> 00:02:35,662
Fear becomes stronger when no one questions it.

51
00:02:35,662 --> 00:02:38,221
Xan is not the witch the people imagine.

52
00:02:38,221 --> 00:02:40,270
Moonlight changes Luna's future.

53
00:02:40,270 --> 00:02:42,956
A family can begin in an unexpected place.

54
00:02:42,956 --> 00:02:43,603
Excellent.

55
00:02:43,603 --> 00:02:45,971
Here is your final thinking question.

56
00:02:45,971 --> 00:02:50,123
When should we question a story that everyone around us believes?

57
00:02:50,123 --> 00:02:52,937
Keep that question in your reading notebook.

58
00:02:52,937 --> 00:02:58,045
Next time, we will look at memory, hidden magic, and why truth matters for Luna.

59
00:02:58,045 --> 00:02:59,802
See you in the next lesson.
