Peace is a natural attribute Which merged with love solute Invigorates life with heavenly flute Make existence enthralling for eternal absoluteness.

One house and billions of loves flying in the top sky When felt so glad and heart flabbergasting, but shy Your heart is even purer and then clean, And with everything you do, this purity is seen.
MOVE ON Forget yesterday’s pain, There is a pain in gain.
At the end of dark tunnel, There is a light as full as the moon. But sometimes walk along With Torchlight, Because it might not be a light Cheer up and move on Buckle up and goes on Not everything ends in vain.
All the predicaments shall flit. Road shall pave like a flat And it shall be bright as light With hope higher we shall flee. As life move as the sky Many thoughts I do lie Believe has gone far away from them Opportunity comes ones to them And never think will happen to them As I begin to start my journey I stay in pains early Morning
Just to make myself feel comfortable The time we have has durable
UNDO THE PAIN I come to you in pieces Since all I need is peace Peace with my soul Since my shoe sole is down to earth And so worn out beyond repair. Help me gather the pieces of my heart I wanna make it whole again Though it’s glassed I believe it can be glued Despite the visible cracks, it’ll be whole again.
All need is for you to undo the pain The pain you caused while you walked out on me
While you lead me on as I followed blindly Not knowing you’re walking me into a ditch A ditch that would leave my limbs broken like bone chops. Lift this burden, I plead, Enough of this pain, Cracked I was but now I’m shattered, Battered and broken into pieces. Before our paths crossed I was at peace, Now you turn my once peaceful life to hell, Now I live in pains and agony, I wish we never met.
Lift the great burden now and let’s part ways peacefully, Undo my pains now, tarry not and help me, Fix me now dear, my soul is getting weak, I’m getting frail and fragile. I plead with you this day, Undo this burning pain, so I can feel my limbs, Come to my aid, my soul cries for help, My all is almost drained, Put my pieces in piece and let’s dwell peacefully once again.

ABSTRACT
This article examines the use of interactive methods in developing reading culture in primary school students. The effectiveness of pedagogical technologies such as the “Jigsaw,” “Boomerang,” and “Odd One Out” methods in reading lessons is analyzed. It is substantiated that these methods contribute to the development of students’ independent thinking and increase their interest in reading.
“Raising the culture of reading is an important guarantee for achieving our great goals.” – Shavkat Mirziyoyev
We would like to emphasize that the primary school curriculum is not a special state document in which the content and volume of knowledge, skills, and competencies to be mastered by students are strictly defined according to academic years. We needed to develop such a curriculum, but it could only be the result of successfully addressing a general task — identifying and substantively presenting the scientific and methodological foundations of the teaching course. In other words, we needed to describe the essential components aimed at studying reading as a method through which a growing and developing person acquires knowledge and reshapes reality, ensuring the uniqueness of planned educational activities. The starting point for reflection and analysis should have been the book itself.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Nowadays, developed countries have accumulated extensive experience in applying pedagogical technologies that enhance students’ learning and creative activity and ensure the effectiveness of the educational process. The basis of this experience is interactive methods, which are increasingly used by almost all teachers in their lessons.
The term “interactive” originates from the English word interact (Russian: “интерактивный”), which literally means “inter” – mutual, bilateral, and “act” – to act, to do.
An interactive method in education serves to activate students’ learning and develop personal qualities by increasing the activity between students and teachers. The use of interactive methods fosters independent thinking, analysis, drawing conclusions, healthy communication, expressing one’s opinion and defending it with reasoning, focusing attention on the main issues of the lesson topic, participating in discussions and debates, and creating conditions for students to realize their potential.
There are many types of interactive methods, which are chosen according to the lesson topic and intended objectives, and require prior preparation. Correctly selected methods make lessons interesting and effective. Participation in interactive lessons requires students to be prepared and meet certain requirements, including mastering the necessary knowledge for active participation, readiness for communication, collaborative work, independent thinking, and the ability to express and defend their opinions.
Below is an example of an interactive method for developing reading skills among primary school students. The “One Extra” strategy (fifth, sixth, seventh, etc., is extra) helps students not only develop logical thinking but also improve skills in understanding texts and analyzing literary works. The method is applied in reading lessons as follows:
1 Form a system of concepts that reveal the content of the text or story (characters, events, main idea, literary devices);
2 Select four (five, six…) elements that match the text and one element that does not fit;
3 Ask students to identify the extra element and explain why they chose it;
4 Study the remaining concepts, analyze their interrelations, and gain a deeper understanding of the text’s content.
This method helps students develop independent thinking, justify their viewpoints, exchange ideas with peers, and at the same time, increases interest in reading.
Every lesson is a new adventure, and every book is a key that opens doors to new worlds. Using this method, students not only comprehend the text but also develop a love for books and expand their knowledge and imagination.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
It is known that in the second half of the 20th century, the methodology of primary education began to emphasize approaching literary works aesthetically, studying them as works of art. At the same time, psychological research indicated that the potential abilities of young students require a different approach to introducing them to the world of literature.
For instance, N.N. Svetlovskaya developed a theory of independent reading for students, while Ye.A. Adamov, M.S. Vasileva, V.G. Goretskiy, M.I. Omorokov, T.G. Ramzaeva, and others focused on analyzing the form and content of literary works. L.A. Gorbushina, O.V. Kubasova, L.N. Mali, L.V. Nefedova, and others highlighted the importance of students’ creative activities in methodology. Some researchers emphasized the necessity of developing reading techniques. Thus, the methodology of primary education has gone through significant stages of formation as a scientific discipline.
In the work of J. Yoldoshev and S. Usmonov, “Pedagogical Technologies and Pedagogical Mastery”, the theoretical foundations of applying modern pedagogical technologies in the educational process are extensively explored. The authors analyze the content, types, and mechanisms of implementing pedagogical technologies in teaching, demonstrating that the teacher’s pedagogical mastery is a crucial factor in enhancing educational effectiveness. This source plays a particularly important role in defining the scientific and theoretical basis for the use of interactive methods in primary education.
ANALYSIS AND RESULTS
Currently, primary school teachers expect clear, evidence-based, and scientifically grounded guidance from methodology. Methodology ensures that future primary school teachers can approach the content of literary education independently and consciously. They should not only study the experiences of others but also analyze the results of these activities critically and draw correct conclusions.
M.A. Ribnikova identifies four didactic principles as the foundation of methodology:
1 Education should comprehensively influence students’ understanding.
2 Students should clearly understand the task set before them.
3 The teacher should have the skill to present new complex phenomena as if they were familiar.
4 Deduction should be linked with induction.
Ribnikova views the methodological system as a living process and emphasizes the need to focus attention on the methodological system itself.
These perspectives highlight the need for a new approach to the analysis and interpretation of literary and artistic works studied in primary school reading lessons. Conducting text analysis systematically and step by step allows students to direct their learning activities toward specific goals.
The “Boomerang” method is aimed at helping primary school students analyze reading material independently and explain it to their peers. Each student studies a part of the text and then presents it to other students in the group. As a result, knowledge is comprehensively and consciously acquired.
This method:
Organizes students’ activities step by step;
Ensures an individual approach;
Develops independent thinking and teamwork skills.
The use of pedagogical technologies such as “Boomerang” and the “Saw” method ensures that work with literary texts is goal-oriented, learning activities are systematically organized, individual approaches to students are provided, and students’ work can be monitored and assessed quickly.
In the “Saw” method, the literary text is divided into components. This technology can be applied to study all works included in the Grade 4 “Reading Book” curriculum. For example, in the lesson studying the story “The Prince’s Childhood”, the text is first presented as audio. The story is divided into four parts, and the class is split into four small groups. Each group is assigned one part to study.
Using the “Saw” method, students work independently in small groups. Each group understands the content of their assigned section and identifies the main idea. In the next stage, groups are restructured so that students explain the parts they studied to one another. As a result, the full content of the work is comprehensively and consciously acquired.
This method helps students develop skills in independent thinking, communication, teamwork, and justifying their opinions. Lessons that employ interactive methods significantly increase students’ engagement and interest in reading.
The results of the study indicate that pedagogical technologies such as “Saw” and “Boomerang” are effective in primary school reading lessons, contributing to the conscious comprehension of literary works and fostering a culture of reading.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the use of interactive methods in primary school reading lessons enhances the effectiveness of education. Pedagogical technologies such as “Saw” and “Boomerang” increase students’ engagement, develop their skills in conscious comprehension and analysis of literary works, and foster independent thinking. As a result, students’ interest in books grows, and the culture of reading is strengthened.

Nowadays, exams play a crucial role in determining students` academic success. The question of whether exams truly measure one`s knowledge remains a subject of ongoing debate. From school to university, students are constantly judged by their grades. Many people believe that the more learners get high mark, the more they are intelligent. If they get low marks, they are not smart enough. However, I strongly believe that exams do not really measure real intelligence for several reasons. They only show how well a person`s preparation is for a specific test in a limited time.
First of all, intelligence is much more than memorizing information. Exams usually focus on facts, formulas, dates, and definitions. Students spend hours trying to remember everything, sometimes without even understanding the topic deeply. After the exam, most of that information is forgotten. Is that real intelligence? I don’t think so. Real intelligence means understanding ideas, thinking critically, and being able to use knowledge in real-life situations, not just writing it on paper for two hours.
Another reason why exams are not a true measure of intelligence is stress. Many students feel extremely nervous during exams. Even if they studied a lot, anxiety can make them forget simple things. Some people are just not good at performing under pressure. Their hands shake, their mind goes blank, and they panic. Absolutely, these factors affect their exam results. That does not mean they are not intelligent. It just means the exam environment is not suitable for everyone. Intelligence should not depend on how calm you are in a stressful situation.
Moreover, people have different talents and abilities. Some students are creative, others are good at communication, leadership or solving practical problems. For example, a person may not get high grades in math, but he or she might be proficient in art or music. Another student may struggle with written exams but be very confident when speaking and presenting ideas. Unfortunately, traditional exams do not measure creativity, emotional intelligence or social skills. They mostly measure academic knowledge.
In real life, intelligence looks very different from exam performance. People work in teams, search for information, ask for advice, and think carefully before making decisions. During exams, students are expected to work alone, without any help, and finish everything within a strict time limit. This situation is not realistic. A successful businessperson or entrepreneur may not have been the best student in school, but they know how to solve problems, take risks, and think creatively. That is also a form of intelligence.
It is also important to mention that everyone has a different learning style. Some people learn better by doing practice, some through discussion, and others by watching videos or visual materials. However, exams usually follow one format for everyone, like multiple-choice questions or written answers. This system does not consider individual differences. It forces all students to fit into the same structure, even though intelligence is diverse and complex.
Of course, exams are not completely useless. They can help teachers check whether students understand basic concepts. They also teach responsibility and time management. But the problem starts when society treats exam results as the only indicator of intelligence. When someone gets a low grade, they may start thinking they are not smart, which can seriously affect their confidence and motivation. On the other hand, a student with high grades might think they are automatically more intelligent than others, which is not always true.
In my opinion, schools and universities should use more varied methods to evaluate students. Projects, presentations, group work, and creative assignments can show different types of abilities. This would give students more chances to express themselves and show their strengths. Intelligence cannot be reduced to a single number or letter grade. According to Howard Gardner`s theory of multiple intelligence, a person can be very strong in one area but only average in another which is completely normal. For this reason, most traditional exams seem quite limited, as they mainly focus on linguistic and logical-mathematical skills.
To conclude, memorization, stress management, and time pressure cannot fully define how smart a person is. Real intelligence includes creativity, emotional awareness, problem-solving skills, critical thinking and easy adaptation to different situations. While exams may test knowledge, they do not truly measure a person’s full potential or real intelligence. Therefore, instead of focusing only on grading learners, assessment is expected to support learning, recognize individual differences, not measure students` ability to memorize information.

I left behind everything that didn’t weigh on my soul,
the paths that led nowhere;
my heart, once a calm garden,
is now a sea searching for its wide channel.
I live to write what silence holds,
to carry my words to distant lands;
for my children, who are light in my wanderings,
for my grandchildren, seeds of new days.
I am no longer the same one who believed in castles,
who expected miracles with every sunrise;
now my life is a half-open book,
where only what the heart has learned matters.

From “Being Human is Hard” by O’lmas Umarbekov — Gulchehra, from my perspective, regrets…
My first, pure love I gave to you,
My whole heart I offered as a gift, too.
In return, I had hoped for love from you,
Yet my unforgettable mistake—you became “you”!
All my attention was only on you,
My day passed with your letters in view.
If from afar I glimpsed you, my eyes would burn through,
Yet my unforgettable mistake—you became “you”!
You said you longed for my arrival, that you’d wait,
Without a word, silently, you walked away.
You hid trust completely from my vocabulary’s slate,
Yet my unforgettable mistake—you became “you”!
I heard later, you said many words,
“I didn’t love, I didn’t burn,” yet again.
You turned my whole heart into a play for your amusement,
Yet my unforgettable mistake—you became “you”!
You found your own Shirin and Layli,
Burning in their love, you became another story.
What could I have said? As always, fine…
Yet my unforgettable mistake—you became “you”!
I loved… In the end, I proved it true,
Without you, I preferred death over any rue.
I cut off even the memories that I knew,
Yet my unforgivable mistake—you became “you”!
