Explanation

School is the place where we learn knowledge and good manners. The textbook has the poem “Salom, maktab!” (Hello, school!) by Muhiddin Omon. The poet calls school a mine of knowledge and calls the child to be strong and educated. We also learn to speak about our own school.

Worked examples
“My school”. Our school is big and bright. My teachers are kind. There we learn to read, write and count. At break I play with my friends. School is the home of knowledge. I think of my school as my second home.
