Объяснение
The textbook has the poem “Qishki ta’til” (Winter holidays) by Qambar Ota, which shows the cheerful mood of the break; some words repeat in every stanza. We do not retell it. A refrain gives a poem its rhythm and stresses the main thought. To determine the mood we look at the words: light, merry words show a happy mood. During holidays we also follow safety rules: we do not go onto frozen lakes or canals and do not go far without adults.
Примеры
“My holiday plan”. In the winter holiday I want to do five things. Every day I will read for half an hour. With my father I will decorate the fir tree and write greetings to my classmates. With friends I will build a snow house, but I will not go near a frozen lake. I will help my grandmother in her village. A holiday is rest, but also time for good deeds.
Mood: cheerful, planned. Safety: do not go onto frozen water.
