Explanation
Everybody likes to rest in the lap of nature. But when we go on an outing we follow rules. We take our rubbish back with us, we do not light fires, we do not pick tulips, we do not touch birds’ nests. We do not pollute the brook water. Taking care of nature means also caring for future generations. In the poem “Tabiatni avaylaymiz” (We take care of nature) in the textbook children list these rules.
Worked examples
“An outing”. On Sunday our family went to the foothills. We sat by the brook. Dad said: “We do not touch the trees.” The children listened to the birds’ singing. When returning we put the rubbish in a bag. The place stayed as clean as before.
On an outing: we take our rubbish back, we do not light fires.
