1-kurs akademik litsey va kollejlar uchun umum ta‘lim darslik 250 soatning 100 soatiga
mo‘ljallangan birinchi o‘quv-uslubiy qollanma majmuasiga
ANNOTATSIYA
Mazkur o‘quv uslubiy qo‘llanma majmuasi (keying o’rinlarda majmua) o‘z ichiga barcha akademik litsey va kasb-hunar
ta’limining turli yo‘nalishlaridagi B1, B1+ darajaning birinchi bosqich o‘quvchilari uchun mo‘ljallangan o‘quv-uslubiy qo’llanma
majmuasi(keygi majmua) hisoblanadi. O’zR Prezidentining 2012 yil 10 dekabr PQ-1875 sonli qarori va O’R VMning
2013 yil 8 may 124 - sonli qarorida tasdiqlangan “Uzluksiz ta’limda chet tillarni o‘rganishning Davlat ta’lim standartlari”,
O‘MKHT tizimi B1, B1+ darajalari chet tillari uchun yaratilgan o‘quv dasturi asosidagi ilk o‘quv–uslubiy majmuadir. Aynan
shu qarorga asoslanib, O’MKHT tizimidagi barcha o‘quvchilar haqiqiy ma’nodagi chet tilida erkin muloqot qila oladigan,
barkamol yosh mutaxassis sifatida kamol topadi. Chunki bu jarayonda u nafaqat til o‘rganadi, balki u o‘z bilimi va kasbi
borasidagi bilimlarini chet tilida mukammallashtirib boradi. Natijada chet tilida u o‘z mutaxassisiligi haqida gapira oladi,
globallashgan hozirgi zamonda shu mutaxassislik borasida ish olib borayotgan hamkasblari bilan xat yozisha oladi, o‘z
bilimini oshirib borish uchun kerakli turli manbalardan chet tilida mustaqil, qadr-qimmatini, o‘zligini anglagan, har tomonlama
to‘g‘ri kamol topayotgan inson sifatida foydalana oladi. Bu esa hozirgi sanoat, iqtisod, ta’lim, fan va ilmning globallashuv
davriga yoshlarimiz to‘g‘ri tayyorlanayotganlaridan dalolat beradi.
Ushbu majmua CEFR tizimida B1, B1+ darajalari ingliz tiliga mo‘ljallangan va o‘z ichiga “O‘quvchilar kitobi (Student’s
Book)”, “O‘quvchilarning ishchi kitobi (Work Book), “O‘qituvchilar uchun qo‘llanma (Teacher’s Book)”, eshitish uchun
audio material va o‘qituvchilar qo‘llanmasiga qo‘shimcha namunaviy dars jarayonlari yoritilgan video disklardan iborat.
Bundan tashqari, har bir dars o‘qituvchi va o‘quvchi tomonidan eshitish ko‘nikmasi, malakasi (keyingi o‘rinlarda ko‘nikma)
qobiliyatini rivojlantirishdan, ya’ni, xorijiy tillarni o‘rganishning eng asosiy tamoyillariga asoslangan holda - eshitishdan
oldingi, eshitish vaqti va eshitishdan keyingi maxsus mashqlar asosida boshlangan. Xuddi shunday tarzda gapirish, o’qish
va yozish mashqlari shakllantirilgan. Bunday ko’nikmalarni rivojlantirish uchun darsdan darsga oddiylikdan mukammallikga
intilish mexanizmiga amal qilingan. O‘qituvchi dars jarayonida yangi - “darsni kommunikativ holda tashkil etish va o‘quvchi
dars markazida” metodik yondashuviga amal qilishi shart.
O‘quvchini joriy baholash tizimi, asosan o‘quvchining ishchi kitobidagi ishi va ijodiy taqdimotlari asosida baholanadi.
Oraliq va yakuniy baholash xalqaro standart talablariga mos o‘tkazilishi talab qilinadi, shunda DTS tomonidan O‘MKHT
tizimi bitiruvchisiga qo‘yilgan talab - kamida B1 daraja (IELTS-5)ga erishiladi. Tilga yo‘naltirilgan akademik litseylarda B1+
(IELTS 5.5-6) darajasini har bir darsni mukammalroq o‘tkazilishi hisiobiga erishiladi.
Xuddi shunday, O‘MKHT tizimiga kelgan o‘quvchilarning ko‘nikmalari har xilligi, maktab bosqichida turli boshqa xorijiy
tillarni o‘rganganligi va 3 yil 250 soat ichida qanday qilib, ta’lim tizimidan B1 yoki B1+ darajasi bilan o‘qishni tugatish
mumkinligi mexanizmi ushbu majmuada ko‘rsatilgan.
Ushbu majmua oldingi qo‘llanmalardan ustunligi, unda o‘quvchilarning haqiqiy hayoti, yoshini va CEFRning eng asosiy
mag‘zi “O‘quvchi har bir darsdan keyin nima qila olishni o‘rgandi (Can do)? - degan savolga javob bera olishi hisobga
olingan.
Kelajakda, ushbu majmua yordamida har bir sohada haqiqiy mutaxassislikga yo‘naltirilgan darsliklar majmuasi
yaratilishiga mualliflar ishonch bildirishadi. Chunki, ushbu majmuadagi har bir darsda o‘quvchilar va o‘qituvchilarning
birgalikda o‘z mutaxassisliklari doirasida kengroq bilim va tajribalarga erishib borilishi nazarda tutilgan.
Ushbu majmuani sizning qo’lingizga yetkazish va undan foydalanish imkoniyati tug’ilishiga mualliflarga yo’l ochib bergan
hurmatli Prezidentimizning 1875-sonli qarorini amalga oshirilish jarayonida O‘MKHT tizimi uchun DTS, O‘quv dasturi va
nihoyat, ushbu majmua yaratilishida har doim o‘z maslahati bilan hamnafaslikda ishlagan Oliy va o‘rta maxsus ta’lim
vazirligi vaziri B.Yu. Khodievga, avval O‘MKHT markazi direktori, hozirda O‘RPrezidenti maslahatchisi J.G. Ismoilovga,
O‘MKHT Markazi direktori U.Z. Salimovga, avval Oliy Ta’lim vazirining o‘rinbosari, hozirda O‘ZDJTU rektori Sh.Sh.
Kayumovga, O‘MKHT ishchi guruhi a’zolari R.Rustamov, N.Chinniqulov, G,Fyodorova, A.Avliyoqulovlarga va O‘zDJTU,
O’zMU, TDPU, SamChTI, TXVU bir guruh o‘qituvchilari va UzTEA a‘zolarining xolisona taqrizlariga mualliflar guruhi o‘z
minnatdorchiliklarini bildiradilar.
Majmua ba’zi kamchiliklardan holi bo‘lmasligi tabiiy. Chunki ushbu darslik majmua qisqa vaqtda respublikada xalqaro
darajada yaratilayotgan ilk chet tili o‘quv-uslubiy qo‘llanmasidir. Shuning uchun ushbu majmua borasidagi savollar, fikr va
mulohazalarni FL@markaz.uz adresiga yuborsangiz, savollaringizga javob olishga va keyingi bosqichdagi o‘quv-uslubiy
majmualarni yaratilishida amaliy yordam sifatida xizmat qilishiga ishonch bildiramiz.
Hurmat ila mualliflar guruhi.

Jobs for teenagers
About half of 16 and 17-year-olds in the UK have got jobs, and three quarters of this age group also go to
school. They do part-time jobs before or after school and at weekends. The most common jobs are babysitting
(very popular with girls) and paper rounds (popular with boys). Cleaning and working in a shop are also
popular jobs.
In the UK, school students are not allowed to work more than two hours on a school day, or more than twelve
hours in total during a school week. They are not allowed to work before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. (but babysitters
can work later. They must have at least two weeks’ holiday from school each year when they don’t work at all.
Teenagers do part-time jobs because they want to earn some money. However, they don’t usually earn very
much. In the UK, there is a minimum wage for adults: £5.52 an hour. For 16 and 17-year-olds, it is £ 3.40 an
hour. For children under 16, there is no minimum wage, so many teenagers work for £2 or £3 an hour.

Try Easy Time Management Tips
Many people mistakenly believe that time
management is about doing more tasks and activities
in a day. Time management is actually to do important
things. It’s also about learning to do things efficiently.
Here’s how:
1. Focus. Write the important things in your life. At
home, attach it to your refrigerator. At work, stick it on
your computer monitor.
2. Write it down. If you’re working on a task and
suddenly you remember to do something write it down
in the notebook.
3. keep a daily to-do list. Write down the most
important 12 things you need to do tomorrow.
4. make a daily schedule. You’ll be more efficient.
Look at tomorrow’s appointments and meetings. Mark
those beginnings to the end times in your calendar.
Then review your to-do list and schedule time for
your to-do’s. Remember, only schedule 70% of your
day. The other 30% will be filled with interruptions and
emergencies.
5. multi-task the details. Cook dinner while
returning phone calls. File while watching TV. Check
your e-mail while listening to voice mail messages.
6. Organize your surroundings. The Wall Street
Journal reported that the average executive you can
spend an hour per day looking for misplaced papers.
You’ll save time if you don’t have to look for your notes.
7. Analyze everything you do for the next week.
Try to find a quicker, more efficient way to do things.
Work with a friend or co-worker shortly to come up
with ideas.
8. read it better. Learn to skim information. Carry
reading material with you wherever you go. Consider
taking a speed reading course.
Don’t forget “A” students aren’t the smartest in
class … But they usually have great time management
skills and self discipline.
Follow the time management rules and enjoy
benefits:
efficient
successful
healthy
3. Discuss time management tips. Which ones are better than the
others?
4. Choose one of them and write about 60 words:
a. How would you follow time management in your future
profession?
b. Describe the most efficient and organised student in your class. Give
reasons.

certain.
• I’ll probably come back
later.

The symbol of Tashkent – a high tower,
in which there are big chimes. It was
erected in 1947 and began working on April
30 of that year. There is an amazing story
about Twin Clock Towers that I.A. Ayzenshteyn, a
watchmaker and resident of Tashkent, brought the
tower clock mechanism from Germany after World
War II as a trophy. This clock hung on the tower of
the City Hall in the city Allenstein in East Prussia. The
City Hall was destroyed but the mechanism of the
clock remained. Aizenshtein had the idea to build the
clock tower in Tashkent. The idea was accepted by the
City Administration. In 2009 the second tower was
erected, an exact copy of the first one.

1. Read the quotation and discuss it in groups.
2. Read the story and choose a suitable title.
A professor stood before his class with some things on the table in front of him. When the class
began, silently he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and continued to fill it with small
rocks.
Then he asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar
lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up
everything else.
He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students answered with an unanimous, “Yes.”
“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to know that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the
important things – your family, your partner, your health, your children.
The pebbles are the other things that matter – like your job, your house, your car.
The sand is everything else. The small stuff.”
“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued “there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.
The same goes for your life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things
that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your
children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house,
give a dinner party.
Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
4. Write about what will be
important in your future
profession (about duties,

questions.
1. What are the meanings of the words – jar,
rock, pebble and sand in the text?
2. How do you feel about the story?
3. What are the differences between a
classmate and a colleague?
e.g. I think the relationship between people is
very important in my future profession. I’ll be in
contact with a lot of people every day. I’m going
to be a flight attendant. A dress code is also very
important in my future profession. I have to make
a good impression on my passengers by wearing
neat and tidy uniforms.

1. Put the following
adverbs of frequency
in the correct order.
Use: Adverb
Adverbs such as always, sometimes, usually(positive meaning) never,rarely
hardly and seldom(negative meaning) are adverbs of frequency because they describe how
frequently the action occurs.
Adverbs of frequency are put directly before the main
verb. If ‘be’ is the main verb and there is no auxiliary
verb, adverbs of frequency are put behind ‘be’. Is
there an auxiliary verb, however, adverbs of frequency are put before ‘be’.
1. Students play football on Sundays.
(sometimes) → __________________
2. … be ashamed of asking for help . (never)
→ __________________
3. We have fish for dinner. (seldom)
→ __________________

Reading tip: If you don‛t understand a word, use the words around it to decide what
kind of word it is. For example, is it the name of a thing or is it an adjective?
Writing tip: When you have finished a piece of writing, ask your partner to read your
text and say if he/she can make it more clear and accurate.

1. Read Jim Rohn’s words.
can you give any examples from your
experience?
2. Read the text
Improve your study habits.
Throughout history, almost all of the world’s smartest
people have been largely self-taught. Leonardo de Vinci
was the greatest painter, engineer, and genius of his time;
he invented the helicopter, airplane, tank, and scuba-gear;
and his only education was a few years at an art academy.
Benjamin Franklin dropped out of school when he was ten,
going on to invent several musical instruments, discover
electricity, and help found the United States.
There are several benefits to independent study which
you might consider.
pLAN your time carefully. When you plan a trip, one
of the first things you must do is to make a list of things to take. If you don’t, you are almost certain to leave
something important at home. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do.
Then make a schedule of your time. Decide on a good, regular time for studying. Of course, studying shouldn’t
occupy all your free time. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment, hobbies, and maybe just
relaxation.
FINd a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space and free of
everything but study materials. No games, radios, or TV! If you can’t find such a place at home, go to the
library where you can study. When you sit down to work, concentrate on the subject!
STUdY regularly. When you get home, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher
mentioned in class. Remember really listening in class means less work later. Read any related material in
your textbook.
4. Answer the questions.
3. Choose the best answer.
• Who invented the scuba-gear?
• Who invented several musical instruments?
• What should you do while you are
planning your week?
• What is a good place to study?
• How can you study regularly?
The text is about …
• being famous and popular.
• improving study habits.
• following the schedule.
• concentrating on the subject.
5. Discuss with your partner. Think of tips for improving study
skills. Have a conversation with your partner.
Do you agree with your partner’s tips? Why?/Why not?v

Defining Relative Clauses
• We use relative clauses to give essential information:
about the person, thing, place or time. The sentences do
not usually make sense without the relative clauses.
Alisher Navoi was a poet who wrote the”Khamsa”.
• We use who and that for people, which and that for
things,
whose for possessions, where for places, and when for
times.
– Iroda Tulaganova is the tennis player who/that helps the
future of tennis in Uzbekistan.
– That’s the sport which/that I play.

• Some people can listen to a piece of music and then

1. Look at the pictures. What style is closest to you?
Kinesthetic
2. Read the text and fill in the
gaps.
There are three main types of learning styles:
auditory, visual, kinesthetic. Most people learn best
through a combination of three types of learning
style, but everybody is different.
1. ______________ would rather listen to
explanations then to read them. reciting information
out loud and having music in the background may be
a common study method.
2. _______________ learn best by looking at
graphics, watching a demonstration or reading. For
this kind of person it’s easy to look at charts, and
graphs, but they may have difficulty focusing while
listening to an explanation.
3. _______________ process information best through a “hands-on” experience. Actually doing an
activity can be easiest way for them to learn. Sitting still while studying may be difficult, but writing things
down makes it easier to understand.
But most people use a combination of three learning style, they usually have clear preference for one.
Knowing and understanding the types of learning style is important for students of any age. It is useful for
students to understand their type of learning style early on so that homework and learning may become
easier and less stressful in future.
3. Replace the
highlighted words with
suitable words from the
box.
act, mixture, repeating,

- In the 19th century a
teacher in England had
a good idea. Instead of
teaching students in a
classroom, he taught each
student at the students‛ home. This
is the start of what would lead to
“correspondence courses”. Student
and teacher communicated by post.
It was distance learning.
- In the 1990s, the Internet
provided a new form of distance
learning where teacher and students
communicated over the Internet. We
call it e-learning.

E-learning (or e-learning) is full of materials that
can be delivered on a CD-ROM or DVD, over a local
area network or on the Internet. It includes distance or
on-line. The major advantage to students is its easy
access in a setting free from time and place. The
material is media-rich; there are multimedia forms as
audio and video. The learner can assess the progress.
There are many advantages of online and
computer-based learning compared to traditional
face-to-face courses and lectures:
• Class work can be scheduled around work and
family.
• Students do not have to spend time travelling.
• Students may have the option to select materials
suitable to their level of knowledge and interest.
• Students can study anywhere they have access
to a computer and an Internet connection.
• Students successfully completing online or
computer-based courses, take responsibility for their
learning.
But there are a few disadvantages as well.
• Learners with low motivation or bad study habits
may fall behind.
• Without the routine of a traditional class, students
may get lost or confused about course activities and
deadlines.
• Students may feel isolated from the instructor
and classmates.
• Instructors may not always understand when
students are struggling or need help.
• There is a slow Internet connection.
3. Use an on-line monolingual dictionary and

Hi Darren,
Sorry I wasn’t able to get to your house warming
party last Friday. I was really looking forward to
it and I was all ready to leave the house when
my aunt from Ireland arrived at the house for a
surprise visit!! She was only in town for the one
evening before she went to my brother’s house
so I had to stay with her. I’m really sorry Dazza.
I tried to telephone you but your line was busy
the two times when I telephoned. Then I was out
with my aunt in town and didn’t have the chance
to ring again.
I hope you understand. I know you wanted to
get me to meet that girl, Yvonne, who you work
with. Oh well, next time maybe! My evening was
really boring...if that makes you feel any better.
See you soon
Regards
Nicholas.

My name is Mansur. I live in Tashkent and Uzbek is
my native language. I am a mathematician, but I like
learning English too. I learned English very well and
now I want to share my experience with other people.
I had my first contact with English when I was six. My
dad inspired me to listen to The Beatles. I listened
to them every day for the next seven years. In the
beginning I could understand nothing of what they
were singing. But soon I started to understand every
word, especially the ones which appeared in the titles.
So The Beatles were my first motivation. Today, I can
understand The Beatles very clearly. When I was 13
years old, I started reading science fiction books. I
read them in Uzbek. The books were all American. I
could not read the original versions because I did not
know English so well. Somehow I felt that in English
the books will be even more interesting and reading will
be more exciting. I finally decided that I wanted to read
books in English. I learned every new English word
that I met. I found that reading is much more exciting in
English. Now I study Mathematics. Most of the books in
my math Institute’s library are in English. I discovered
that my knowledge of English is very important for my
learning Mathematics.

“Hot or Not?”
Facebook was invented by a Harvard computer science student Mark Zuckerberg, along
with classmates Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. The origins to the
name hints as to the history of Facebook, however, the website was originally and briefly
called Facemash. Mark Zuckerberg was a second year student, when he wrote the software
for the Facemash website. Perhaps, it was Zuckerberg's sophomoric sense of humor that
led him to create the site as a type of "hot or not" game for Harvard students, where
website visitors could compare two student photos side-by-side and let viewers decide who
was "hot" and who was "not". Mark Zuckerberg put his computer science skills to good use
by hacking into Harvard's security network and where he copied the student ID images
used by the dormitories and used them to populate his Facemash website.

Diary", which was published at the MIT Media Lab website from 14 November 1994 until
1996.

a) Have you ever read someone’s on-line diary? If yes, what was it about?

Online Diary (Blogs)
An online diary is a personal diary or journal that is published on the World Wide
Web (www) on a personal website or a diary-hosting website. In online diaries, people
write about their day-to-day experiences, social commentaries, complaints, poems,
prose, illicit thoughts and any content that might be found in a traditional paper diary or
journal. They often allow readers to contribute through comments.
Online diaries have existed since 1994. Today they are called blogs. Online diaries
soon caught the attention of the media with the publication of the book 24 hours in
Cyberspace (1996) which captured personal profiles of the people involved in early
web pages. The earliest book-length scholarly discussion of online diaries is Philippe
Lejeune’s Chercran, (“Dear Screen”, not yet translated to English).
The formation of diary hosting websites such as Open Diary, Diary-X,
Xanga, Femmunity and Live Journal caused an explosive growth of online diaries and
journals. Today, interactive online diaries, online journals, personal blogs and group
blogs are integrated into the daily lives of many teenagers and college students, with
communications between friends playing out online. On-line diaries are easily readable
by all their friends, enemies, and complete strangers.
Personal opinions on experiences and hobbies are very common in the blog world.
Blogs have given the opportunity for people to express their views to a mass audience.
In October 2006, the History Matters campaign, a 2006 joint project by the major
heritage organizations in England and Wales, conducted the One Day in History project,
asking residents of the UK to write an online diary of what they did on 17 October 2006.
The diaries were stored at the British Library from November.
3. Discuss the following questions in groups.
1. What do people usually write in their blogs?
2. Who can read personal on-line blogs?
3. Have you ever written in on-line blogs? If yes, what did you write about?

Together with your peers design a diary. (If it is possible, on-line dairy page)
Make a plan on how you are going to promote it and on what topics people can
write there.

My Thursday as a student
Dash the kids to the nursery. Dash into the labs for 10.
Suddenly time changes. I am caught up in what I am doing
– the project I am working on with two other people. I can
spend hours mixing and measuring, comparing my findings
with others’. We talk a lot about what we are doing, and
why, and make suggestions on why our results are different. I always ask my lecturers if I am unsure – some are
very helpful, but some are not. In the afternoon, I have one
lecture. Recently, I have arranged it so I can go to drama
club on Thursday nights.
Jasur
My first term
– What do Jasur
and Sasha write
about?
– Do they have any
similarities?
After the terrible time I had at school, I was very worried about
what I might be putting myself through coming back to study as
an adult. I was sure I wouldn’t be able to keep up. When I got my
first few pieces of work back, the marks were not very good, and
I felt I ought to leave. Luckily, I was talked out of leaving. I made
an effort to meet other mature students and found many of them
were having similar experiences to me. I had expected the study
to be difficult. What I had not expected was that other aspects of
being a student could be just as hard. It took me ages to build up
the confidence to eat in the canteen – it seemed so enormous
and bustling. I used to rush away after lectures rather than talking to strangers. I have to say that there are many positive things
about being a student. Now that I have got to know other people
here, I look forward to coming to study. It is a wonderful opportunity – but you have to make it work for yourself.

A good experience on keeping a portfolio
Hello! My name is Mukhlisa. Now I am in my second year. Last year I had a good
experience on keeping a portfolio. I learned a lot about myself as a learner. Actually it is very
joyful and interesting to have a portfolio. It is like a mirror of your knowledge where you can
see how you are growing during the year. Time by time you become more knowledgeable.
But you need to know and work on your every weakness to become a good learner.
Some tips that my teacher provided helped me a lot. Now I want to share them with you.
First, I tried to collect everything that need to be in portfolio starting from my tests and
quizzes, writings, readings to audiotapes, photographs etc.
Second, I tried to be selective. It means I didn’t simply collect things but tried to select
only valuable ones.
Third, I set learning goals for myself and tried to achieve them.
Forth, I gave feedbacks for myself using some questions and answering them.
Fifth, I reviewed my portfolio time by time. And the last, I remember sharing my portfolio
with my parents and my friends. It was real fun and really useful when I got their opinions
on the items of my portfolio.
I hope that you will find these tips useful for you and you will enjoy keeping portfolios.

Ways to develop skills.
Do you want to develop your skills? Exactly
what skills do you want to?
After giving answers to these questions you
need to find the ways to develop your particular
skill. Tips you are given below help you to find
your way. You could also use these as evidence
in an application for a job to show you had these
skills. For example, if you want to improve your
writing skills, try to write essays, dissertations, and
project reports, articles for the student newspaper
or a report for a course placement.
However, for speaking skills you can join a
college drama group, take part in public speaking or
Skills
also help for developing your speaking skills.
But if you are shy and don’t like new
environment, you must try to work part-time while
studying or changing courses quickly, because
you need adaptability skill. Changing people
around helps you to gain this skill.
Now you’re saying that you are not shy but
always passive. Don’t worry, in this case you don’t
have leadership skills. You can improve this skill
by leading a group project, captaining a sports
team or being a group
representative in any
events.
It is not easy to be a leader or to be a good
speaker, but if you try hard you can gain any skill
you want to have.

USe:
preFIxeS
With the negative
meaning
Prefixes un-, in-, il-, ir-,
and dis – are often used
to
give adjectives (and some
verbs and
nouns) a negative
meaning. Here are
common examples:
happy – unhappy
like (v) – dislike
possible – impossible,
legal – illegal (=against the
law)
correct – incorrect,
regular – irregular (e.g.
irregular verbs)
Verb prefixes have two
meanings: they
can have a negative
meaning, but they
can also mean:
“the opposite of an action”
or “to reverse
an action”.
This meaning is used with
certain verbs.
example:
(to) lock – unlock
(to) pack – unpack
2. Make a text to the topic “Internet” using at least
10 adjectives with negative prefixes.
98% of reading is an auditory/listening task. Only 2% of reading is visual. Listening to a
story and reading that same story will activate the exact same pathways in the brain. It‛s
not where the sensory information comes from but, where it ends up in the brain. Our eyes
act more like ears when we read.
The main reason English is so difficult to speak, listen to and to read is because spoken English
has an exceptional number of vowel sounds (phonemes). The ability to hear and identify individual
sounds is what separates natural readers from struggling readers. Many weak readers face to spelling mistakes and most of their errors – not surprisingly – are with vowels.

Your skill set
1. Try to fill in your skill set.

talking about his new college
and himself.
My name is Sardor, I’m 17 years old. My hobbies
are reading books, playing the guitar, listening to
music and visiting different galleries.
Since I started coming to this college, I have
made only few friends because I’m not sociable.
I have difficulties to get on with people, because
I am very shy. So I found difficult to get on with
my group-mates. My group-mate Jasur is very
talkative, cheerful, responsive, goal-oriented,
sociable, easy-going and interesting person with
a good sense of humor. He is also intelligent and
educated person. He is the first person who talked
to me in this group. I really liked him and now we
are best friends.
Now I am trying to be able to work well both
on my own initiative and as part of a team. I try
to learn something new from every experience
because I believe there is always room for selfimprovement both personally and professionally.
Although my faults with my group-mates, I worked
hard on my study. So I made a progress in my
English. Because my group is an English group. I
used to study in a different way, but here I learned
other methods that helped me a lot. I really enjoy
coming here because there are so many boys, and
they are really clever and active. Most of teachers
are funny and nice.

Tips on Writing A Personal Profile
• Weak profiles include every detail about a person. Select only relevant information.
• Write about your positive qualities.
• Use single adjectives to say positive things about yourself. For example, do not write
“I am a person who is full of life and energy.” It is better to say, “I am a cheerful
person.”
• Write a strong headline. Be different from and everyone else.
• Be realistic and factual in your goals in your CV.
• Photos in a profile generate interest too.

past Simple Tense
• The simple past is used to talk about activities or situations that happened in the past
and we know when it happened.
e.g.: yesterday, two days ago, in 1999, last
month
• Most simple past verbs are formed by adding -ed to a verb.

Informal Job Search Networking
Try job search networking, it really does work. At least 60%
of all jobs are found by networking. Develop contacts – friends,
family, neighbors, college graduates, people in associations –
anyone who might help to get information and job leads. You
can take a direct approach and ask for job leads or try a less
formal approach and ask for information and advice. Contact
everyone you know. You may be surprised by the people they
know. Make yourself pick up the phone and call. You will have
to make a lot of phone calls each day. The more phone calls you
make the easier it will become.
Email is a perfectly acceptable way to network as well. Keep
your message short and to the point and be sure to check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
If you are attending a holiday gathering or any other type of party, it is appropriate to mention in casual
conversation that you are looking for a job. Accept all the invitations you receive – you never know where or
when you might meet someone who can help you!
Find advice on how to search for a job with the help of networking. What advice did you find?
Underline it.

• In notes and messages it is normal to begin simply with the name of the person we
are writing to.
• We usually write short, direct sentences in messages. For example, we often use
imperatives like Bring him some magazines, rather than Could you bring some
magazines?
We often use abbreviations like PS or asap to keep message short.

Most of our outside activities begin as things we do or join as a family. Five of the seven
of us play violin, so we go to lessons as a family, and work on our collage work when it is
not our turn to be working with the teacher. Music (violin, piano, and now trumpet) is more
like another collage subject than an “outside activity”, and I can’t imagine my week without
it. Gymnastics started in the same way – the local gym offered classes in the afternoon for
homeschoolers, and all of us went to the gym together.
I’m not a gymnast, but I enjoyed the company of other students, and the opportunity to
work on my strength and balance.
My younger sister is the only one who has continued these classes. She’s less social
than I am, and likes to see how far she can push herself in gymnastics. I like team sports
better.

2. Read the text and choose the best title.
In many countries almost everyone
drives a car. But this means terrible
traffic jams and air pollution. Read
this story and find out: Why doesn’t
Singapore have a car problem?
In many big Asian cities, such as
Seoul, Taipei and Tokyo, there are
many cars, trucks and buses in the
streets. This has caused bad traffic
jams that pollute the air. One large city,
Singapore, is an exception. There are
no traffic jams. Its air is fresh – free from
pollution. This happy situation is not accident. It is a result of a government
rules to fight air pollution and traffic jams. The government has simply
made it very expensive to own and drive a car in Singapore. The program
requires anyone who wants a car to buy a permit. In addition to the cost
of owning a car, drivers in Singapore must pay to enter downtown on
weekdays. And there is a big tax on gasoline.
As good as this sound, it might not work in other places. Think about
your city. How would everyone feel if it became too expensive to own and
drive cars? There might be other problems. Would the public transportation
system-buses and trains-be able to handle all of the people who used
to drive their own cars? And are the buses and trains comfortable for
everyone?
Clearly, something must be done to change people’s lifestyles in the
world’s large cities. Pollution from cars and trucks has already caused
serious harm to the earth’s environment. Perhaps, Singapore has right
answer after all.
At the same time Uzbekistan is one of the developing countries, where
transportation service is also developing. Like other Asian countries traffic
jam also happens very often in rush hours and in order to solve such
problems new roads are being built.
We should develop solar and
electronic cars. Then the problem of pollution will be solved.
Other large cities should do
what Singapore has done
Other large cities should do

We should do what Singapore
did, but step by step
I understand the problem but I
can’t just live without my car.
What Singapore did is crazy.
It is impossible to do it in our
country.
We should develop solar and
electronic cars. Then the problem of pollution will be solved.

s.
1. Look at the pictures and find type of success.
2. Read the text.
What makes people successful?
Who do you think is the most successful? Who do you
think is the least successful?
In order to answer these questions, we first need to
understand what success is. Everyone has a different
definition. Many of us place great value on acting, on
achievements, or on reaching various goals. Others see
success with material goods. Others key for success by
how much they can contribute to the well-being of their
families, or to the community and society in general.
There are many other definitions, but mostly success is
connected with becoming rich, famous, and respected at
work. Yet, it doesn’t have to be that way.
Being successful could mean simply being satisfied
with oneself and one’s career. For many people, a
successful person is someone who feels that his or
her work and life in general offer an exceptionally high
degree of satisfactions.
But how does one get from here to there? How does
one reach this feeling of satisfaction with life and career?
It seems that successful people do two things:
• They use their natural abilities in their work.
• They set career and life goals.
In other words, successful people choose careers
where they can use their natural abilities, or do what
comes naturally to them. For example, successful
teachers are people who know how to help people learn,
and the best doctors are those who know how to listen to
people. Successful people know where they are starting
from, and what direction they want to give their lives and
careers, even if it is something as simple and wonderful
as raising a happy family.
3. Read the questions and circle your answer.
Is money important to achieve success? There is no doubt that money is important to achieve desire. We need money
to our comforts. But how money is important to you?
1-disagree strongly
2-disagree
3-not sure
4-agree
5-agree strongly

knowledge and Wealth
It is believed that once ten learned men approached Ali, and
wanted to know how knowledge was better than wealth. They
requested that each one of them be given a separate answer. Ali
answered them as follows:
1. You have to guard your wealth, but knowledge guards you.
Therefore, knowledge is better than wealth.
2. When knowledge is distributed it increases. When wealth
is distributed it decreases. As such knowledge is better than
wealth.
3. A man of wealth has many enemies, while a man of knowledge
has many friends. Therefore knowledge is better than wealth.
4. A learned man because of his wider outlook is apt to be
generous while a rich man because of his love for money is apt
to be miserly. As such knowledge is better than wealth.
5. Knowledge cannot be stolen, while wealth is constantly exposed
to the danger of being stolen. Accordingly knowledge is better
than wealth.
6. With the lapse of time, knowledge gains in depth and dimensions.
Hoarded coins get rusty, or cease to be legal tender. Therefore
knowledge is better than wealth.
7. You can keep account of wealth because it is limited, but you
cannot keep account of knowledge because it is boundless.
That is why knowledge is better than wealth.
8. Knowledge illuminates the mind, while wealth is apt to blacken
it. Therefore knowledge is better than wealth.
3. There are some antonyms in the text. Underline any you can find.
4. Make a list of advantages and disadvantages of being wealthy.

guess about your
future
Our imaginations are very powerful. Just try not
to think about something, such as whether you left
the cooker on, and you quickly discover how easy it
is for your imagination to see your home burnt to the
ground! If you give your imagination any leads it will
act on them.
You can see this power of the imagination in
many ways to help your study. Try using the following
questionnaire to consider what you achieved at
college/lyceum. You may then find that your thoughts
about different activities in college/lyceum start to
change as your imagination goes to work.
You may also like to come back to this at different
times in the future, to see whether your thinking
about what really counts for you has changed.
Now from your chair in the future rate the following
activities in their order of importance to you.
___I made good friends;
___I made full use of college (lyceum) facilities;
___I developed new interests;
___I learned to work better with other people;
___I learned to express myself better;
___I really enjoyed myself;
___I developed my creativity;
___I took care of my health;
___I learned to manage myself as an adult;
___I learned to be a well doing student;

highlight the evidence in the file. Remove or edit material that identifies other people by name or gives personal
details. You should number all pages and support content page.

improves test scores. Regardless of socioeconomic background, music-making students
get higher marks in standardized tests than those who had no music involvement. The

reading proficiency exams.

MY FUTURE PROFESSION
Speaker 1.
Hi! I’m Kamila. I am going to become a teacher. My
future speciality is English. I love children very much
and to become a teacher has been my dream since
my early childhood.
To teach and bring up children is the most
important and noble thing, to my mind. I am eager to
get the proper education to be able to do my best to
teach my future pupils my favourite subject.
Speaker 2.
My name is Dilnoza. I want to be a doctor. It is an
interesting profession.
My mother and my grandfather are doctors. My
grandfather works as a surgeon at hospital. I have
been at the hospital several times and spent some
time watching him working.
His main task is to operate on people. After each
operation he takes care of patients until they are
recovered.
My grandfather can also help if anybody catches
a cold or has a fever. I want to become a doctor as
well.
Speaker 3.
Hello! I’m Sevara. I want to become an interpreter.
To my mind this is an interesting profession. I want to

Today English is the language of the world. It is the

I can not imagine my future life without English.
English is a must for every educated person. I am
sure it will help me in my life.

Mansur: Hi, Zafar! How did the job interview go?
Zafar: Excellent! I’m sure I’m going to be a shop
assistant.
Mansur: Congratulations! What questions did they
ask?
Zafar: They asked how I had heard about the job.
If I had seen the advertisement in a newspaper or on
the Internet.
Mansur: And what was your answer?
Zafar: I said no, my friend told me. There
were always people leaving, so they must need
somebody.
Mansur: What?! You shouldn’t give an answer like
that. OK. What happened next?
Zafar: Then, they asked if I had any experience. I
said No, but I’m a fast learner. I’ll learn in a month or
so.
Mansur: I don’t believe it! What else?
Zafar: Let me think. They asked what hours I could
work.
Mansur: And you…..?
Zafar: I said that I can’t wake up early. So I
couldn’t be on time, I would only be late if they give
me mornings. And…. In the evening I might have
parties with my friends. So they had better give me
afternoons .
Mansur: No way, You are joking aren’t you?
Zafar: No, they really liked me. They asked me
why I wanted to work as a shop assistant.
Mansur: And you said, it’s a great job. And you are
very interested in this job.
Zafar: No I can’t tell a lie, you know. I said that I
heard it is a really easy job and the salary is also
good.
Mansur: Oh, no… Zafar, you don’t know anything
about job interviews, you weren’t ready for it.
Zafar: No I was ready, I put on my best T-shirt and
shorts, I looked nice in my trainers. I was in black.
I looked so smart. And on the way out I asked the
interviewer if he wanted me to fill in the application
form, but he said it wasn’t necessary. It means I’m
going to have this position.

Dialogue.
Zilola: Good morning, mum…. I couldn’t sleep well
today and I think only about my first day job.
Mother: Morning my darling? Don’t worry,
everything will be OK if you follow the job etiquette.
Zilola: What do you mean? Are you talking about
dress code and good manners?
Mother: Partly. But there are other necessary
workplace etiquette that you always have to be
carefull.
Zilola: Oh, really? What are they?
152
Mother: Now listen carefully.
... First of all appearance. You have to make sure
your clothes are neat. Business casual means
nice trousers or skirts not a mini, a blouse, not too
low cut and simple jewelry. Don’t shout to your
colleagues or guests when you have something to
say. If somebody greets you must respond. Words
like “Thank you ” and “Please” are always welcome.
Don’t take part in gossiping your colleagues or
somebody else. You just have to respond “Sorry, I
don’t like to gossip.”. Keep your personal workspace
neat and organised. …. Now about Phone manner.
Answer the phone with “Hello” not “Hi”. Introduce
yourself, your company and your department. Do not
eat, drink or chew gum while talking on the phone.
It’s very important to be on time for work, even ten
minutes early.
Zilola: I got you Mum. I really need your advice.
Mother: I see. You must be much more careful
with others’ privacy. Don’t ask about his or her salary,
personal questions…. If you are criticized listen to
the comment with an open-mind. Be always polite.
Zilola: Thank you mum. I feel myself more
comfortable after your advice. OK, It’s time to go. I
don’t want to be late as you said.
Mother: OK dear Have a nice day.

Kamilla: I’m very busy with work! I can’t do
everything I have to do. You’re always so organised
and efficient. How do you do it?
Surayyo: I’m not always organised and efficient,
but I’ve gotten better since I read a book about time
management. I use a few tools that the book
recommends, which help me to plan and do
everything before deadlines.
Kamilla: Do you think it will help me?
Surayyo: Definitely. This is what I do. I keep a todo list of all things I need to do. Then, I decide
which tasks are urgent and which are less urgent I
write down the deadline I’m given for the task or
I put a deadline of my own, and I make a note of the
most urgent tasks.
Kamilla: That seems pretty simple, but how do you
keep track of the progress I make on a task?
Surayyo: I do a couple of things. First, I keep my list
updated. I check off or cross those that I’ve done.
I also put reminders for myself on my computer to
help me with scheduling. It helps me to remember
my appointments.
Kamilla: Oh, Surayyo... That sounds like a great
system. All I need now is some extra time so I can
start doing some time management!

Woman: And then you get up at 5:00 a.m.?
Man: Well, yeah, but it’s important to live a

She (9)_spends her whole day taking care of our

I’m Nargiza Azizova. I study at university and I
won the President’s scholarship last year. I regard
my parents and teachers every time. I achieved
more success than my group mates, do you know
why? I prefer to be an independent learner. Because
you can control over your study time or spare
time yourself, you can choose the place, time and
subjects yourself, there isn’t a teacher looking over
your shoulder all the time, you are responsible
for your success...Yeah…, there are full of risks
too: wasting time, forgetting things that must be
done, missing essential deadlines, using all the
spare time for study, not getting down to study, not
addressing for weaknesses, ignoring feedback, and
falling behind in your work, losing motivation, losing
a sense of what you are supposed to do and not
asking for help. Sometimes ... choosing subjects
that do not contribute career interests. But ... if you
manage time effectively, meet deadlines, use spare
time effectively, create the structure for your day,
organise a place to study, all these help you to be
more independent and to be self-issuer. Don’t forget
to keep yourself motivated and learn from your
mistakes. Never be ashamed of asking for help if you
need it. Remember our teachers are always ready
for helping!

on type of learning. You have visual learning which
is where you mostly – can just read the notes or
skim the notes for reading. You like a lot of pictures
or different backgrounds or different things like that
to help you understand and connect the learning
material. And final type is auditory. You can just
sit there and the teacher can play audio material
and you can listen to what is saying and learn that
way. Now I’m personally a mixture of three styles I
think. So let’s say, for example, as I said before I’m
a teacher, I have a lab associated with my lecture
classes for teaching. For the lab part of my teaching
class I’m very kinesthetic, so I’m very hands-on. I’m
also visual…we are all very hands-on in the lab so
we can learn how to do different skills. So, if you are
audio learner definitely pay attention and just you
know, bring a tape recorder to class and record the
teacher as he is talking. I actually did that during my
freshman year and it helped me a lot.

Otabek: Hi, Farukh! Oh... Where are you coming
from in such a late hour?
Farukh: Hello, Otabek! I’m coming from my extra
lessons ... You know I want to enter University, so I
must know English well.
Otabek: Are you preparing with a tutor?
F: Yes, it’s an effective way of learning I think...
where are you going?
O: No, I’m coming from my job. I work as a waiter
at the restaurant after classes, I help my family...
F: When do you prepare for your lessons? I know
you speak English rather well.
O: Yeah, I usually spend my day-off on the Internet
for learning English. I’m an e-learner.
F: Sorry?! I don’t understand. How can you check
yourself and what about a teacher?
O: You know I haven’t spare time for improving my
knowledge I work after classes, I come home late.
So, there are many web-sites on the net for learning
a language in any time of the day, I think it’s the
best way of studying, because there is e-mailing l to
and from tutors, email between students, delivery of
assignments by e-mail.
F: How do you get materials?
O: It’s also easy – video-links, web-cam give you
opportunities to learn at a distance. There are also
electronically reading materials which include itself
a website or web pages for your program; copies of
lecture notes; revision notes and activities and so on.
F: It sounds interesting! Can you show me
tomorrow have to use it!
O: Yeah, in the time break I can do it. I have the
Internet on my mobile too. Sorry, it’s my station, I
have to get off.

Formal conversation is left at work. Don’t bring
it out when you are having drinks or meals with
co-workers. It is an important conversation. Usually
joking around is not a good sign. However, a
comic relief is always good when situations get to
serious when it doesn’t need to be. With this type
of conversation there are always ways to meet and
greet others, try hard not to step over the line that
could make a situation tense or awkward.
Informal conversation is when you go out with
your friends and have fun. Depending on how close
you are with those casual conversation can go so
far. Keep it clean if you need to but usually there
are nolimitations. Don’t bring your work out with you
when you are with friends. Keep these conversations
at work. In this way you will show your true selves

What is the purpose of a portfolio?
A portfolio has several uses:
– it keeps related documents together;
– it helps the process of reflection;
– it gives the process of self-evaluation and
personal development a higher focus in your life;
– in some vocations, you can take it to job
interviews;
– it can hold relevant examples and information
for when you need them, such as when applying for
work placements, work or other courses.
A portfolio may be compulsory for your course.
However, even if you don’thave to keep a portfolio,
you will probably find if helpful to do so – to organise
your thinking about what you need to do, and to
monitor your progress.
Update your portfolio regularly – at least once or
twicea year, and when ever you achieve something
new. Rereading or rewording what you have written
may refocus your energies.
In your portfolio you should include:
1. Full contents list for each section.
2. Self-evaluation and profile sheets, planners and
action plans.
3. A profile of vocational and technical skills you
have developed.
4. An up-to-date list of courses and training.
5. Certificates (exams, a copy of your driving
licence, etc.)
6. An up-to-date list of your work experience,
with the dates, addresses of employers, brief job
descriptions, your main responsibilities, skills or
qualities you demonstrated, and what you learned
from doing that work.
7. Your curriculum vitae (CV). (A careers adviser
can help you to compile this.)
8. Your ideas about where you would like to be
in seven years’ time, and what you need to do to
achieve this goal.
9. Examples of your work and interests.
10. Also you may include a copy of Degree
certificate.
T.21.
Nargiza: Creating a portfolio practice in your
classroom that insists on students to act as authors
and owners of their work is the first step to develop
self-evaluation. By having a sense of ownership,
students are involved in all the decision-making
including the criteria. A teacher and student work
together as partners to establish goals.
Azima: There are as many different portfolios
as there are types of classrooms. There is no
right or wrong way to develop a portfolio; the
“perfect” portfolio does not exist. you become more
experienced with the process. If you have been
completing the reflective pieces as you interacted
with this document, you have almost finished
developing a portfolio for use in your classroom

communicating and working in groups the most

W: Yes, sometimes do this.
I: But what do you is better to read a book or to
watch the film on it?
W: Definitely reading a book is much more
interesting. I think with books you know what the
characters feel and think. You understand them. The
characters are almost like real people. What about
films… uhh… sometimes they are successful. But
sometimes I get shocked watching films because
characters are different to the way I imagined.

The reason why I argue with my parents is that
they always think they know what’s best for me,
and never listen to my point of view. We argue
about things like what time I must come home in the
evenings, how much homework I should do, what
clothes I wear, even my hairstyle. I wish I could do
what I want! I think they don’t want me to grow up,
that’s why they still treat me like a child.
Mirzohid
I think the biggest problem most teenagers have
is peer pressure. There are people at school who
will pick on you if you dress or behave differently
from them. Some of them will even laugh at you if
you don’t like the music they like. If teenagers didn’t
press on each other it would be more easy to live.

Most of my friends complain about their parents,
but I get on fine with mine. They do make some
rules, for example about where I can and can’t go
on Friday and Saturday evenings, but at least we
can discuss things – they have the final say, but they
always listen to my opinion first. They give some
independence. Maybe if I weren’t the youngest in

friends. We always help each other if we have
problems in our exercises. Sometimes we have
competitions. Even I won some of them, because I
tried to do my best. It is very useful for my brain.

ability at home or at school. But there I feel myself
very confident. We performed several times in the
local scene. And I was not shy because my friends
supported me.

poems. I go to club where I have many friends. I like
my club but I am not satisfied with it. I am thinking
to change my teacher. She is sometimes very strict I
am not able to show my ability.
How much rubbish do you and your family throw
dustbin away every week? When do you throw
something into your dustbin, do you know where it
goes next?
Rubbish from your house is put into large holes
in the ground called landfill sites. After many years,
earth and grass cover the hole, but we can’t use
the land to grow food, and we cannot build on it,
because it is not safe. Sometimes pollution from
the rubbish escapes into the air or into rivers and
streams. Clean air, land, water-these are necessary
for life, and we are destroying them. People’s need
is increasing and we are producing a lot of rubbish.
Possibilities of some countries are big, so they
produce much unnecessary things. Unfortunately, we
are only recycling about 10 per cent of our rubbish,
and we should re produce them. We throw away six
billion of glass instead of recycling it.
Recycling rubbish saves energy and stops
pollution. Think about it before you throw it away.

that each of us goes through a journey in life to learn
lessons. Once those lessons are learned, which will
take more different lifetimes; one would move onto
the next level of living. I believe that the reason
I am here, the reason that people exist, is to give
and receive Devine love. I have set many goals for
myself that reflect why I am here and the reason I
exist.
This view of life started about three years ago. I
woke up shivering, lying on the floor of my apartment
with only a smaller throw blanket covering me. “I am
still alive” I thought to myself and my achievements.
I went to the bathroom and washed some water on
My name is Azamat. I have a lot of dreams. When
I was a kid my dream to be a pilot, and as the time
goes by, when I was teen I wanted to be a president.
And It is interesting to note that, sometimes I wanted
to be a doctor and other interesting dreams. But now
I have grown up, now I know that I want to be a
manager.
Now, I almost finish my studies at university. I
will obtain Bachelor of Science Information. After
I graduate, I want to work at one of the biggest
oil company such as Chevron. I want to be a staff
manager or manager at least. I prefer working
offshore because it gives me challenge to work over
there plus they will pay me higher than work in the
office.
I think that is all I can say about my dreams. It is
just a simple dream for a simple man like me.

Part of my job as Human Resources Coordinator.
First of all, candidates are normally presented with
a group exercise, because it’s important to see if
they can work well in a team. Then they are asked
to deliver a brief presentation. Candidates are given
advance notice of this so that they can prepare.
Following this, candidates are set series of
psychometric tests, which assess their mental
processes to see if they have the right skills for the
job.
After all this, candidates attend an interview alone
with a panel of three to four members of personnel
from different departments. However, usually we
find the right person and the successful applicant is
offered the position.
The final stages are taking up references. The post
is filled.
