Textbook: p. 76
GoalConsolidate the spelling of words with k and q while working on a text about bridges.
New words
bridge · ko‘prikto build · qurmoqvoluntary community work · hasharwood · yog‘och
Explanation
Mini-text: “Over the canal in our village there was an old wooden bridge. In spring the water flooded and destroyed it. The neighbourhood organised a hashar (community work) and built a new, strong bridge over the canal. Now children walk to school easily.” While working on the text, watch the spelling of words with k, q, g‘ such as ko‘prik, qurmoq, qishloq. In a figurative sense, «ko‘prik» can mean friendship and respect that connect people.
Worked examples
Ko‘prik — ko‘prikka (dative), ko‘prigi (possessive): k → g.
Qirg‘oq — qirg‘oqqa, qirg‘og‘i.
