Explanation

The value: take care of your things – books, notebooks, toys, phones. Put them back, do not lose them, do not break them. Talking on the phone: “Hello, it’s Dilya. Is Grandpa there, please?” Answer: “Yes, he is. Just a minute.” or “No, I’m sorry, he isn’t.” At the end: “Thank you. Goodbye.” Say your name on the phone. Sound: “ck” – black, duck, rock, clock.
