1-hikoya (A2): Grandma’s Voice Messages

Last month my grandmother, Oysha buvi, got her first smartphone. She is seventy-two, and at first she was a little afraid of it. “Just press this button and speak,” I told her. “When you finish, take your finger off.” She practised for ten minutes and then sent a voice message to my aunt in Samarkand. My aunt called back immediately. She was so happy.

The next morning my phone started buzzing at six o’clock. There were eleven voice messages from Grandma in our family group. In the first one she said, “Good morning, children!” In the other ten there was only noise: the kettle, the radio and the neighbour’s rooster. She didn’t know how to stop recording!

Now Grandma is an expert. She sends us recipes, advice and news from the mahalla every day. Sometimes I don’t have time to listen to all of them, but I never delete them.

Lug‘at: afraid of — …dan qo‘rqadigan; press — bosmoq; immediately — darhol; buzz — g‘ing‘illamoq, titramoq; noise — shovqin; kettle — elektr choynak; rooster — xo‘roz; recording — yozib olish; delete — o‘chirmoq.

Savollar:

• 1. How old is Oysha buvi?
• 2. Who did she send her first voice message to?
• 3. True or false: all eleven messages said “Good morning”.
• 4. What does Grandma send every day now?

2-hikoya (A2): The Wallet at Chorsu

On Saturday Bekzod went to Chorsu Bazaar to buy vegetables for his mother. It was very crowded. He bought potatoes from an old man, then carrots and two kilos of onions from other stalls. Then he wanted to buy some apricots, but when he put his hand in his pocket, his wallet wasn’t there. His money, his bank card and his student ID were all in it.

He walked back to every stall. “Excuse me, did you see a blue wallet?” Nobody saw it. Bekzod felt terrible. He sat down near the bread sellers and tried to remember his bank’s phone number.

Then the old man with the white beard came up to him. “Is this yours, son? It was under my potato sacks.” Bekzod opened the wallet. Everything was there. He wanted to give the man some money, but the man shook his head. “Just come back and buy your potatoes from me again,” he smiled.

Lug‘at: crowded — odam gavjum; stall — rasta, do‘koncha; pocket — cho‘ntak; student ID — talaba guvohnomasi; felt terrible — o‘zini juda yomon his qildi; sack — qop; shook his head — boshini chayqadi.

Savollar:

• 5. Why did Bekzod go to the bazaar?
• 6. When did he notice that his wallet wasn’t in his pocket?

3-hikoya (B1): Late for the Interview

Madina had been waiting for this day for three months. At eleven o’clock she had a job interview at an IT company in Yunusobod, and she had prepared answers to every question she could imagine. She left home at nine, which gave her plenty of time — or so she thought.

While she was standing on the crowded platform, an announcement said that trains on the line were delayed because of a technical problem. Ten minutes passed, then twenty. People were checking their watches and phoning their bosses. Madina’s hands were getting cold.

At half past ten she finally got on a train, squeezed between a student with a huge backpack and a man carrying a box of samsa. She knew she would be late, so she called the company. “I’m really sorry,” she said. “There’s a problem on the metro. I’ll be about fifteen minutes late.”

When she arrived, the manager was smiling. “Thank you for calling,” he said. “Two other candidates were late today, and they didn’t let us know. You’ve already shown us something important.” The interview lasted forty minutes. A week later, Madina got the job.

Lug‘at: had been waiting — (uzoq vaqtdan beri) kutib kelgan edi; plenty of time — vaqt yetarli; or so she thought — u shunday deb o‘ylagan edi; announcement — e’lon; delayed — kechikkan; squeezed between — …ning orasiga siqilib; let us know — bizga xabar bermoq; candidate — nomzod.

Savollar:

• 9. Why did Madina leave home at nine?
• 10. What was the problem on the metro?
• 11. What did Madina do when she understood she would be late?
• 12. Why do you think the manager was smiling? Javobni o‘z so‘zlaringiz bilan yozing.

4-hikoya (B1): The Neighbour Upstairs

When Farrukh and his wife Zarina moved into a flat on the fourth floor of a building in Yunusobod, they didn’t know anyone there. In the city, they thought, people don’t really talk to their neighbours.

On their first evening, while they were unpacking boxes, somebody knocked on the door. It was a woman from the fifth floor, holding a big plate of plov covered with a clean cloth. “Welcome to our building,” she said. “You haven’t got time to cook today, have you?” Zarina didn’t know what to say. She thanked her three times.

Over the next few weeks, Muqaddas opa became part of their life. She told them which bakery had the best non, who to call when the water was cut off, and she even fed their cat when they visited Farrukh’s parents in Namangan.

In spring Zarina decided it was their turn. She cooked plov for the first time in her life, put it on the same plate and climbed the stairs to the fifth floor. The rice was a little too soft, but Muqaddas opa ate two portions and asked for the recipe. “Now you’re real neighbours,” she laughed.

Lug‘at: move into — …ga ko‘chib kirmoq; unpack — (quti, chamadonni) ochib joylashtirmoq; covered with — …bilan yopilgan; became part of their life — hayotining bir qismiga aylandi; was cut off — o‘chirib qo‘yilgan edi; it was their turn — navbat ularga keldi; portion — ulush, bir likop; recipe — retsept, tayyorlash usuli.

Savollar:

• 13. What did Farrukh and Zarina think about neighbours in the city at first?
• 14. What did Muqaddas opa bring on the first evening, and why?
• 15. Name two ways she helped the young couple.
• 16. Why did Muqaddas opa say “Now you’re real neighbours”?

Hikoyalardagi grammatika: nimaga e’tibor berish kerak

O‘zbek o‘quvchisi ko‘pincha While she stood on the platform deb yozadi. Bu grammatik jihatdan xato emas, lekin ingliz tilida fon harakati uchun Past Continuous tabiiyroq eshitiladi. Farqi Past Simple va Past Continuous farqi sahifasida misollar bilan.
