Объяснение
Snow is tiny crystals formed when water vapour in the air freezes in the cold. They join to make snowflakes. Snow protects the ground from the cold, and in spring it melts and gives water to the soil. The textbook has the story “Qishning ko‘rpasi” (The quilt of winter) by Dilfuza Shomalikova, where a grandchild talks with his grandfather about winter. In winter games we must be careful.
Примеры
“Snow”. Snow forms when water vapour in the air freezes in the cold. Tiny ice crystals join to form snowflakes. Snow covers the ground like a quilt and protects it from cold. In spring it melts and gives the soil water. In winter we go sledging, but we are careful on ice.
Fun fact: in some countries of the southern hemisphere December is a summer month.
Работа в классе
Cut a paper snowflake; each child writes one winter rule on it (e.g. “I don’t go onto the ice”).
