Explanation
In this unit we read about a boy interested in stars, Beruni, a given promise, childhood memories, the doston, children who reached their goals and an artist. The textbook authors: Tamila Qosimova, Pirmat Shermuhammedov, Xurshid Davron, Said Ahmad, Hamid Olimjon. In review we name the genre and main idea of each topic.
Worked examples
“The road of dreams”. From childhood Behruz dreamed of being a scholar. His grandfather told him about Beruni and taught him to observe the stars. Behruz began reading one book a week and promised to take part in the school olympiad. He kept his promise and took second place. He was not very upset that he did not come first, because he kept practising. “This is the beginning of my biography,” said Behruz.
Review: dream → practice → promise → result.
