Tell participantsthis

In Samarkand our family used to have an 8-roomed house big enough for so many people.

Ask the wholeclass

Do you think my parents still have the same big house? (No)

Tell participantsthis

OK, my parents still live in Samarkand but in a different, much smaller

place because most of their children moved to other places. I married and moved to Tashkent, for example.

My childhood was a wonderful time. My father used to take my brother and me to the children’s park which was just 5 minutes walk from where we lived.

Ask the wholeclass

Do you think we still go to the park with my dad? (No)

Did you like to go to the children’s parks with your parents? (Find a

student who did)

Ulugbek? What park did you go to?

Did you go there often?

Write on the board Ulugbek used to go to the park at least once a week in his

childhood.

(Elicit at least one more example and write it on the board as well.)

Tell participantsthis

The park we went to was full of carousels and other attractions. My favourite one was a big dipper. My brother and I used to ride it 3 times in a row and were never scared.

Ask the wholeclass

Do you think I can do it now? (No)

Did any of you have a favourite carousel that you could ride many times when you were a child? Aziza? A swing? And you were not afraid? (If you don’t know the word in English, just use it in Russian or Uzbek) (10 min) Allow more guesses from the class and then tell students about yourself asking comprehension questions and also questions about students’ life.
