Объяснение
The textbook has the text “Vatan – jon fidolikdir” (The homeland calls for devotion) by Boltaboy Eshmurotov, reflecting on the idea “the homeland begins at the threshold”, the Constitution and duty to the homeland. We do not retell it. Patriotism means loving the homeland and working for its progress. “Fidoyilik” (devotion) is giving up one’s comfort for the good of others and the country. “The homeland begins at the threshold” means that our attitude to the country takes shape starting from our home, neighbourhood and school.
Примеры
“My duties”. I am still small, but I have duties to the homeland too. My first duty is to study well and gain knowledge. The second is to treat young and old with respect. The third is to keep our neighbourhood clean and protect nature. The fourth is to follow laws and rules: on the road I obey the traffic light. I begin these things from the threshold of my home.
Plan: 1) Duties begin small. 2) Study. 3) Respect. 4) Nature. 5) Following rules.
