Sharof Rashidov

Politician
Sharof Rashidovich Rashidov was a Communist Party leader in the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic and a CPSU Central Committee Politbureau candidate member between 1961 and 1983. Born the day before the Russian Revolution to a poor peasant family in Jizzakh, Uzbekistan, Sharof Rashidov worked as a teacher, journalist and editor for a Samarkand newspaper. He returned home in 1942 with wounds suffered on the German front in World War 2. He became head of the Uzbekistan Writers Union in 1949, and was elected to the post of Chairman of the Praesidium of the Uzbek Supreme Soviet in 1950. In 1959, he became First Secretary of the Uzbek Communist Party, a post he held to his death in 1983. In the Soviet Union his name became synonymous with corruption, nepotism and the Great Cotton Scandal of the late Brezhnev period. As orders from Moscow to grow increasing quantities of, the Uzbek government responded by reporting miraculous growth in land irrigated and harvested, and record improvements in production and efficiency. Today it would seem that most of these records were falsified. The Uzbek leadership used these exaggerated figures to transfer substantial amounts of wealth from central Soviet funds into Uzbekistan. When this was discovered by Andropov, Rashidov committed suicide.

Lesson 24. My favourite sport

My favourite sport

Everybody knows that sport is an important part of healthy lifestyle. Fortunately, there are many opportunities nowadays to do different types of sports. First of all, we always have lessons of physical education at school. Secondly, from the very childhood I attend martial arts, to be precise karate lessons. It’s one of my favourite types of pastime. I’ve had several teachers and all of them were highly professional.
Another sport that I enjoy is swimming. I’m just an amateur, and I often go to the nearest swimming-pool. Luckily in summer I get a chance to swim in the open sea. I’m not the only sport lover in our family. My younger brother is also keen on sport. His favourite sport is basketball and he is really good at it.
Besides doing sports, I like watching different games on TV. Every winter, for example, I watch figure skating, boxing and hockey championships. In summer I enjoy watching football and bicycling. Besides active games, there are also some other types of games which also refer to sports, among them chess, backgammon, checks, air hockey, bowling and others. When I have free time I do play these games with my friends. I don’t think there are any types of sport which I don’t like.

Now you should write your favourite sport

Lesson 27. Wish sentences

Wish sentences
1. Hozirgi zamon. Wish ishtirok etgan gaplar noreal, haqiqatga to’g’ri kelmaydigan bo’lganligi uchun, bu gaplarda ifodalangan hozirgi zamon ish-harakatlarini o’tgan noaniq zamon asosida tasvirlaymiz. Masalan, mana bu gapga e’tibor bering:
I wish I were in London now – Qani edi, hozir Londonda bo’lganimda edi.
So’zlovchi hozir Londonda emas, shuning uchun bu gapdagi ish-harakat (ya’ni Londonda bo’lish) – imkonsiz! Shuning uchun ham “BE” (bo’lmoq) o’tgan noaniq zamonda ifodalanayapti.
2. O’tgan zamon. Hozirgi zamon (yuqoridagi gapda) o’tgan zamon bilan ifodalangan edi. Endi o’tgan zamonning o’zi o’tgan tugallangan zamon bilan ifodalanadi. Mana bu gapga qarang:
I wish I had gone to the cinema yesterday – Qani edi, kecha kinoteatrga borganimda edi.
So’zlovchi kecha kinoga bormagan, endi hozir afsuslanib, kecha borganida yaxshi bo’lishini nazarda tutib gapirayapti. O’tgan zamondagi ish-harakat (had gone) o’tgan tugallangan zamon bilan ifodalangan.
3. Kelasi zamon. Wish ishtirokidagi noreal gaplarda kelasi zamonni ifodalash uchun “will” yordamchi fe’lining o’tgan zamon shakli “would”dan foydalanamiz. E’tibor bering:
I wish I would go to London next year – Qani edi, kelasi yil men Londonga borganimda edi.
So’zlovchi bu gap bilan kelasi yil o’zining Londonga bora olishini imkonsiz, deb hisoblaydi. Noreal gap bo’lganligi sababli kelasi zamondagi sodir etilishi ehtimoli bo’lmagan ish-harakat (would go) o’tgan zamondagi kelasi zamon bilan ifodalanayapti.
BUNDAN TASHQARI…
Yuqorida ta’kidlab o’tilgan kelasi zamondagi noreal gaplarni ifodalashda ishlatilgan “wish… would…” qurilmasidagi gaplar hozirgi yoki kelasi zamondagi NOROZILIK, QARSHILIK va SHIKOYATga nisbatan ham ishlatilishi mumkin. Masalan:
I wish you would stop making so much noice – Qani edi siz ko’p shovqin qilmasangiz.
Men hozir yoki kelajakda (bundan keyin) sizning shovqin qilishingizga QARSHIMAN va shovqin qilayotganligingizdan SHIKOYAT qilayapman. I wish I wouldn’t sleep so much – Qani edi men bunchalik ko’p uxlamaganimda. Kishi o’zidan norozi bo’lgan holda ham bu turdagi gaplarni aytishi mumkin.
