Explanation

Value: keeping our surroundings clean is everyone’s job. We do not drop litter on the ground; we put it in the bin. Offering help: “Can I help you?” Answers: “Yes, please.” or “No, thanks. I can do it.” Say it! — the long “eye” sound, spelled i or igh: tiger, night, light, bike, high.

Worked examples
“A clean yard”. Bobur finds paper and a bottle in the school yard. Dilnoza sees him and says “Can I help you?” “Yes, please,” says Bobur. Together they put all the litter in the bin. The yard is clean again. The principal praises them.
The tiger is high on the hill at night. Turn on the light!
