A virtue is a good trait: kindness, truthfulness, tidiness. A flaw is a bad habit: laziness, lying, being stingy. The textbook has a story by Abdulla Avloniy about a greedy boy. We try to have good qualities.
Worked examples
“Stingy Botir”. Botir had lots of coloured pencils. When his friend asked for one pencil, he didn’t give it. The next day Botir forgot his ruler at home. Nobody gave him a ruler. Botir thought about it, and now he shares his pencils with his friends.
Virtues: kind, tidy, brave. Flaws: lazy, lying, stingy.
