In this lesson the important cultural notion of "group" is in play with the expressions "our group" r;dgik and your group r;dgTv.

Teacher Pailin reinforces Thai cultural values by reviewing the things that the children i^h0yd "know how to do" (to think and do), not simply i^h "knowing facts and figures".

Grammar-wise, we see the use of the superlative in "the most" ,kdmjul6f.

The words l6fand lbho both carry the sense of termination, but the former ends something in a point in time (.e.g., the very last day of the month, the last child), while the latter applies to a slightly longer stretch of time (e.g., the final days or ending of the month or year). The former collocates with more words than the latter.
