Clashing Tempos

BALLET DANCER sits on a wheelchair, her leg clearly wounded. Enter MODERN DANCER.

Modern Dancer: Hey. I thought I’d dance for you.

Ballet Dancer: Why?

MD: To cheer you up. To distract you.

BD: That’s awfully arrogant.

MD: Fine then, maybe I just feel like dancing.

BD: Oh, here we go. The spirit of dance moves you, the Holy Ghost possesses your bones, and now you have to show it off in front of a captive audience. Where’s my aspirin?

MD: You’re so contemptuous and condescending. God, Don’t you ever just dance for fun?

BD: You’re one to talk about condescension, treating ambition and focus as a mental illness. Go ask a medical student if he ever stays up three days in a row for fun. Ask a law student why she can’t just take a month off. Ask astronauts why they look so stressed. See what they tell you.

MD: I see your point. But you’re not an astronaut, you’re a wounded ballerina. And I feel like dancing, so I will.

BD: Suit yourself. And I’m a ballet dancer with an injury, please don’t make it sound more ridiculous than it is. “Wounded ballerina,” it sounds like a book of bad poetry. Speaking of mediocre art, keep your leg straight.

MD: That’s not the way this dance goes.

BD: Oh I see. You’re out of tune, but you meant to sound flat, so it’s OK.

MD: Oh we’re going for a musical metaphor? It’s more like, there are a few discordant notes, but it’s part of the symphony’s larger harmonic structure.

BD: Did you just compare yourself to a whole symphony? You’re a dancer who can’t be bothered to stretch a muscle!

MD: Everyone’s a critic.

BD: So you’ve taken it one step further. You’ve dismissed the concept of criticism completely.

MD: Aren’t you an artist? Don’t you know it’s subjective?

BD: No, good art is subjective. Crappy art is recognizable as such.

MD: Jesus, if it means that much to you I’ll straighten my leg. Happy now?

BD: It’s nothing to be proud of.

MD: I’d like to see you do better from where you’re sitting.

Don’t cry. I’m just kidding. Of course you can. As I said, it’s all subjective. I’m just doing my thing, I’m enjoying myself.

BD: You’re a hedonist. You have no sense of discipline and resent those of us who do. It takes no practice to be wild.

MD: And you’re enjoying yourself too, I think. You can’t dance at the moment so you kick. You don’t like my music so you bang the pot louder. It DOES take practice to be that rude.

BD: Look down on my manners all you want. Meanwhile, thrust your chest forward, throw your head back, weave around the stage and call it art. A drunken robot could do that.

MD: You just basically described the routine of a wind-up toy.

BD: Did I? How embarrassing for you and the drunken robots.

MD: Ha ha. Your clever insult makes YOU look petty. Reducing what we do to mere tricks and jumps shows you have no imagination, that you’re not paying attention to real art, truth and subtlety, because you’ve decided the form is beneath you. That’s so…bland.

BD: Go watch people do a “let’s pretend we’re kernels of popcorn” exercise and tell me who’s bland.

MD: First of all, that sounds fun.

BD: Uh huh. If you’re five.

MD: Secondly, so what? If you don’t like one teacher, one choreographer, do you discount the medium?

BD: Don’t be silly. There are other reasons to dismiss the genre. It’s… generic. Modern dance, what does that even mean? If I do jumping jacks to catchy music, I could probably convince you it’s a sophisticated yet minimalist routine.

MD: That’s not modern dance, that’s post-modern dance! It’s…you…I’m making up a dance based on your argument! I’m calling it “The Strawman!”

BD: I see. Ballet dancers aren’t as concerned at winning arguments through reason. We’re too busy DANCING WELL.

MD: Bull. You just love how restricted and repressed you are. You’re comforted by the weight of your costumes, the tight lacing of your shoes, and not breathing feels as natural to you as breathing feels to us. The dancing itself? Well, that’s just a side effect. The real joy comes from your sense of burden. We danced our way out of that tiny box and onto a larger stage.

BD: You’re not more evolved than I am just because you forgot your fundamentals, or ignore them.

MD: But discipline isn’t beautiful. It doesn’t look graceful, your artificial grace. The more spectacular the pirouette, the more the audience cringes in pain. Do you think we’re stupid? That we don’t know your feet hurt?

BD:  Why are you so soft, that you no longer tolerate pain? There’s no way to be a part time ballerina, and yes, that requires….You can’t “wing it” and stumble into your footing, then say, ha, I meant to do that.

MD: So you resent that our lives our easier, that our talent comes more naturally?

BD: We resent that you have a loose measurement for what constitutes talent.

MD: Do you really think so little of us? That anyone can do what we do? Wrong! Some of us are gifted, even though we didn’t have our backs broken into ugly straight angles by the time we were ten. You’re like those snobs who deny that a Shakespeare level genius can emerge without elite education.

BD: If geniuses emerge in middle age and later, from amateur night classes, then maybe the term gets thrown around too much.

MD: Fine then, who cares whether or not we’re anointed bright and shiny? You’re jealous because we dance out of love. You stopped loving it so long ago you’ve forgotten the beauty of dance.

BD: Don’t question my love. I sacrificed a literal leg for love. You just put on some comfortable pants and rocked out to fun music. Oh, maybe you memorized a few specific moves, some beats. But you’re self-indulgent. The audience is just watching you play with yourself. I’d rather watch a child color, or a teenager masturbate.

MD: Did you ever find to time for either activity? You were born so old, so cynical. You don’t have dance partners. You have adversaries. You’re on stage with them, trying to out-dance them, trying to prove you’re the best. Even when we don’t touch, we lift each other up. True collaboration makes for better art, even if it’s less symmetrical.

BD: Symmetry is beauty. It’s hard to achieve, but magnificent.

MD: Well, I’m sure your feet are equally calloused. They’re bumpy and beaten by your mistreatment of the part of your body you’re supposed to love, without which you can’t do art, but at least they’re symmetrical.

BD: That’s my business. My feet stay in my ballet slippers. That’s another thing. I’m so sick of looking at your feet. It’s as if you think you’re farmers or priestesses, so holy, so in touch with heaven and earth. But it’s a well-lit floor in an indoor theater.  Why are you showing us your ugly, dirty feet?

MD: Come on, they’re not so bad. (Removes her shoes and socks)

BD: What are you doing? Put them away! I don’t want to see them!

MD: This is how your feet look now. Your calluses are barely there anymore, but your feet still know how to dance. The break in your leg? You can barely see the scar.

BD: I’m a ballet dancer. Any flaw is visible.

MD: Well, I’m not a ballet dancer, not anymore. And so I forget, sometimes, how hard it was. You’re right: I’m arrogant. It comes with being a dancer.

BD: I know ballet is as ballet does, but…You really don’t feel like a ballerina, on the inside?

MD: No. But I was. And it helped me. I’m a better modern dancer because of it, better than the people who didn’t first learn the structure before they played with it. I know I pretend I never compete with my fellow dancers..,I try, but I’m still human.

BD: We’re dancers.

MD: Besides being the same person and having the same DNA, dancing is what we have in common. It’s what binds us, foot to foot.

BD: Then do you think, for old times sake, you could do a few tour jetes? Give them a modern spin if you must.

MD: You taught me well. I’ll do my best.

BD: (Clapping) Yay! I’ve still got it!

MD: Yes and with a few new moves!

BD: Show off!

MD: …Sorry!

BD: I didn’t say stop!

Dead poet

The famous poet 

died and left his manuscripts 

to his wife and publisher. 

After he was put in the ground, 

the wife and publisher 

went through the unpublished poems. 

It was decided the dead poet 

was an embarrassment: 

he wrote about crude things, 

alcoholism, sex, bodily functions, 

he was misanthropic 

and that was unacceptable 

for the widow and publisher. 

He used coarse language, cursed 

and said bad things about people, 

especially women, 

and it was unacceptable, 

politically incorrect 

for the widow and his publisher, 

so they edited, 

removed words and entire lines, 

softened things up, 

all of which would have outraged the poet, 

but he was dead 

and unable do anything about it. 

I am not a famous poet. 

I am nowhere near fame, and when I die, 

it is unlikely anyone will modify 

and sanitize my poems. 

Most likely, when my remaining possessions

are gone through, they will find my poems, 

stories, and artwork in a box

and like all undiscovered 

and undiscoverable poets, 

everything will be rolled out to the curb 

for trash pickup 

on Thursday.

making ends meet

it’s a terrifying thought. 

the alarm clock 

going off next to my head 

before light has had 

a chance to conquer darkness. 

the bathroom thing. 

I no longer shave, 

but I must brush my teeth, 

what’s left of them, 

and there’s no hair to comb, 

so I am spared another routine. 

dress in clothes perpetually wrinkled, 

put on workman boots, 

a strip of cardboard showing at the heel, 

tie laces with tired fingers. 

out to the car. 

the cars I have gone through, 

they find me when they want to die. 

traffic. it is endless, 

and the anger and impatience, 

the inevitability of road rage 

and casual murder, 

dismemberment in the breakdown lane. 

I pull in at the far end 

of the parking lot 

because I am always late 

and on the edge of discipline, 

write-up, termination. 

and the boss. 

his face forever 

the mirror reflection of a nightmare.

the dream refuses to evaporate. 

and the work, 

mindless, numbing, deadening. 

this is what I face 

here in the autumn of my life. 

it is late November 

and I tell the cat it’s impossible, 

starvation is a possible answer,

a final and futile 

Buddhist gesture.  

the cat looks up at me.

it’s time for his breakfast. 

Timeline

One minute 

you are driving along 

obeying the law 

and the next minute 

a pregnant woman in a pickup truck 

careens from a side street. 

Life is irrevocably altered as she plows into you.

You are no match for her truck and distraction. 

This morning an email was sent. 

It said there are no matches for your job search criteria. 

The woman at the Center for the Aged in the Future

said there are currently no positions for senior citizens. 

You do not ask why.

You have learned not to ask questions. 

Questions are answered in the negative. 

Outside in the car 

you look at traffic and see 

a cement truck approaching. 

If you hurry 

you may be able to reach the street 

and change the timeline

forever. 

until death do us part

my wife

fell off the toilet

hit her head

hard

on the edge of the sink

until crimson flowed

down and dribbled

from her chin. she sat there 

naked on the floor bleeding

looking at me. 

my wife was so drunk

she was in another world

another dimension

and did not recognize me.

her addiction

held tight as a galvanized steel vice 

the two years we were married

and only released its

cold grip upon

death.

MOTHER

      Mother is the greatest creature in the world.  Our mothers carry us in their wombs for nine months and nine days.  Then they wash us white, comb us white, and give us white milk.  Mother cannot be described in words, because Mother and Motherland stand side by side.  The definition of mother is that, “Heaven is under the feet of mothers.”

      If heaven is in the sky,

                Underneath is my mother.

If heaven is on earth

                On top of my mother.

If there is only one heaven

                Dear mother.

If there is heaven in this world,

                My heavenly mother.

     Mother cannot be described in one word.  Mother is only three letters, but one life is missing to describe her.

      When I look at your eyes, it’s wet.

      He clenched his teeth and asked for my heart.

      Your white milk is white, mother,

      One life is not enough.

      We talk about our mothers, we can’t get enough of them, but there are very few of us who actually do it.  No mother will ever do bad things to her children, instead they encourage good and show the right path.  Some people envy their companions to their mothers, “I wish my mother was like that”, and feed them with envy. But “Kaltafahm” people consider Chuchvara raw

      But I lived for six years and did not envy anyone’s parents.  Because my parents are heavenly people.  If a mother does what she does before the birth of her unborn child, the child will be like her mother.   If a mother misbehaves during pregnancy and harms people, she can expect the same from her child.   On the other hand, if a mother reads religious books and prays during pregnancy, her unborn child will grow up to be a Muslim like our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and a Muslim like our mother Aisha. 

      O my nightingale, sing it many times

      A smile from his lips.

      Laugh and see my happiness

      My prayers are with you, my mother.

        Mother and Motherland cannot be chosen in the world.  What I write is not a fairy tale.  The truth of my life.  Before I was born, my mother prayed, thank God, I bow down like my mother.

      May our mothers survive.  As long as they exist, life goes on.  After all, respected parents rock the cradle with one hand and the world with the other.

EASY AND FUN WAYS TO LEARN ENGLISH

ABSTRACT: This article teaches how to learn a foreign language quickly and effectively. It takes us a lot of time to learn English. I think that this article will help us learn quickly and easily by using our time properly.

KEY WORDS: strong passion, daily practice, type of skills, learning grammar, increasing vocabulary, pronunciation, repetition, proper use of smartphone.

ENTRANCE:By the end of the 20th century, English had finally established itself as a world language. Today, the ability to know foreign languages ​​is becoming one of the integral parts of professional education. Due to the high rate of cooperation with foreign partners among specialists in various fields, there is a high demand for them to learn the language. In modern society, foreign languages ​​are becoming an important component of professional education. People learn such knowledge first at school, college, high school, and then at institutes, training courses or independently by getting acquainted with the basic information sets that help to learn a foreign language.

LITERATURE ANALYSIS AND METHODS

Popular methods of teaching and learning English and Internet resources were used in the research process. During the writing of the article, the principles of theoretical deductive conclusion, analysis and synthesis, logicality were used.

Today, many language courses are held for two hours one or two days a week, which is not good for us. Because on other days we are busy with daily chores. Usually, before the lesson, he forgets the topics of the previous lesson, which slows down the learning process. When we learn any foreign language, it should be studied and repeated daily. Only then the learning process will be much faster. First of all, we must make a commitment to ourselves. For example, “I spend two hours studying English every day, regardless of the situation!” Then our recall results will increase dramatically. Many people say that they should do this method, but they do not do it in practice. We have to adapt ourselves to this day’s training. Only then can we achieve the desired result. Type of abilities.

Linguists have divided the study of the English language into four major directions;

-Reading is the ability to read and understand a text in a foreign language. 

-Hearing (listening) is the ability to hear and understand the chat language.

-Writing-the ability to write in a foreign language.

Speaking is the ability to express one’s thoughts and ideas in a foreign language.

 In order to achieve this, it is important to master the three most necessary things. These are: grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.

1. Learning grammar will definitely not be easy for a child. Whether we like it or not, the most difficult part of learning a language is grammar. We often observe that most people focus on memorizing rules when learning grammar. Memorizing the rules does not mean learning grammar. Unfortunately, there are many such people. They know the rules of grammar and phonetics of a foreign language by heart, but they cannot make a more complicated sentence in the language. You don’t have to memorize all the rules, just memorize the most used ones. Once you have memorized all the rules, you will only apply 30% of them. You don’t use the rest. This can cause you various boredom and confusion. Repeat what you have learned every day and build on them simple and then more complex sentences. In a simple sentence, it mainly consists of possessor + participle + complement.

2. Vocabulary memorization.

Even in this process, memorizing yourself for years is a wrong method. I used to memorize 10 words a day. The problem is that I could not use these when I spoke in English, I almost did not use such words. This did not give any results.

 We have the concepts of “Active vocabulary” and “Passive vocabulary” for this. To summarize, you can use the words in “active vocabulary” without any problems. You can use them without any difficulties. But it If the words fall into the “passive vocabulary”, you can remember the word only by seeing or hearing it briefly. The words in the passive vocabulary are very dangerous. There is a possibility that the words will be forgotten. For this, we can save the words from the “active vocabulary” and transfer the words from the “passive vocabulary” to the “active vocabulary”. We need to translate all the unfamiliar words in the movies or videos and pay attention to their pronunciation.

 3. Pronunciation.

 Every language has its own pronunciation. Nowadays, technical progress has developed. This is why we all have access to mass media.

If we listen to different English movies and English songs, our pronunciation will improve a lot. Another way is to use it for another purpose when listening to a song in a foreign language. Find the lyrics of your favorite song in a foreign language and translate it into your language using a dictionary. Or work a lot with English lyrics so that you can mark and translate unfamiliar words. Then you translate the unfamiliar words that cover that text from English to your own language without looking at the translation. Then you will remember them and know when to use them. Another useful way is to listen to native speakers and have conversations with them. Nowadays, we all have the opportunity to communicate online. . That is, we can use this to communicate with native speakers and get various information to improve our pronunciation.

I would like to give some more incentives for us to learn English quickly and effectively.

Define the goal clearly.

If you have to do anything, especially in language learning, it is not for success. Therefore, think about what you want to learn English for. Nowadays, many people are going to learn a language without being interested in the opinion of their family or others. First of all, you should have an interest and a goal. For example, after learning English, I will enter the world languages ​​university as the first grant, “I will enter the University of Westminster on a grand basis” or “I will go abroad to study and work in high positions”, and “I will open new campaigns in cooperation with foreign countries.” “, you can set a goal. Do not forget that the more serious the goal, the faster and more effective language learning will be.

Language is based on repetition.

A language cannot be learned without constant repetition. You can memorize 15 new words a day, but if you do not repeat these words after 2-3 days, it is natural that they will be forgotten. For this, you can effectively use the places where your eyes fall the most. Personally, I stick my newly learned words on a small piece of paper or on various stacks on the door of my room and on my desk.

Communication.

Language is a means of communication. We all know that communication plays an important role in language learning. Go to Speaking Clubs at study centers or resource centres. Never be shy to speak even if you are not fluent yet. The one who tries to speak, even if he does not know the language better, wins than the one who is shy to participate in conversations. Never be shy to speak in general, keep speaking even if you make mistakes.

Or you can find a partner for constant training. Another advantage is that this method creates a unique competitive environment among partners. For example, you try to memorize in order not to fall behind your partner.

Adapt the language learning process to your daily life.

When learning a language, fit everything into your daily life. For example, if you go to the institute or school by bus every day, you will lose at least 30-35 minutes of your time. You can use this time effectively. You can listen to various exercises or audios to develop Listening Comprehension.

Use your smartphone correctly and effectively, you should use easy methods to learn quickly in the process of language learning. Your smartphone will help you with this. Using your smartphone, you can download free English language learning programs and use them without attending paid courses. You can also watch various English movies with subtitles.

The main reasons for this are the natural tendency of children to learn languages, the fact that they have a strong ability to imitate, and the fact that children have more time than adults. It should be noted that 6-7-year-old children do not understand the meaning of information, but memorize it mechanically. Therefore, it is necessary not to start teaching English to elementary school students with grammatical concepts. Otherwise, from the first step of teaching a foreign language, it is possible to strain the child and extinguish his interest. Therefore, teaching a foreign language to young children is very difficult and responsible. The following methods can be used to teach children English in a meaningful and interesting way

 -To teach by means of songs and poems the letters or combinations that are difficult to explain or remember, that do not have meaning.

For example, it can be shown that children learning the English alphabet by singing is more effective than just memorizing. – games related to mental and physical activities;

-Cartoons;

While children do not understand the words in the cartoon during language learning, they try to understand the words they use through the actions of the cartoon characters. This is an interesting and effective way for children to learn the language.

– role play, the teacher should role-play or play it to children while teaching some information, for example, the names of animals or birds. For example: one student shows a dog howling, a cat meowing, another student can show which animal these sounds are.

– subject environment;

Children learn the language better if the teacher can create that environment depending on the subject. For example: traveling, birthday, in the kitchen, etc. On the topic of traveling, the teacher organizes a trip, information about the importance of traveling (foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, airplane), where to travel (Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, England, USA) will give. This situation strengthens the students’ vocabulary, language abilities, and expands their worldview.

RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Children have a strong interest in finding answers to riddles. Therefore, when the teacher says the riddle in English or Uzbek, he should ask the children to say the answer in English. Then children learn words quickly.

Practical training (tasting fruits and other foods, smelling flowers); This sentence can be explained by the thoughts of a practicing psychologist: “The pedagogue, who wants something to be firmly fixed in the children’s memory, should use as many of the child’s sensory organs as possible: eyes, ears, sound organs, muscle sensations, and even if if possible, he should try to involve the sense of smell and taste in the process of remembering”. For example: when a student tastes an apple, its color is red or green, He should give information about whether it is sweet (tasty) or big (small), and after feeding other students, he should ask the children to give information about that fruit in English If the teacher asks the students the English name of the colors, the child will immediately remember that they are red-red and green-green. Ensures that information is kept in memory for a long time. – through gestures, facial expressions; When the teacher says something to the child or gives an order, for example, it is understandable to the child if he uses gestures in sentences such as come here, open the book, stand up, look at the blackboard. .

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS

In conclusion, it should be said that teaching a modern language is aimed at forming a more cultured person, who has the skills of self-analysis and systematization of new knowledge. Innovative methods are an integral part of the modernization of the entire system. This ensures that teachers can familiarize themselves with the most advanced approaches and then integrate them and use them in their work to achieve significant growth in the education system. Many organizations are moving to a new level by using multimedia capabilities to send and receive information. The use of computers and other devices determines the success of the entire educational process. Speech skills in the trainings held during the educational process. Sufficient attention should be paid to formation and development of social flexibility. In addition, the success of each lesson in education largely depends on the correct organization of the training. The lesson should be based on the creative cooperation of the teacher and the student. Only then will students be able to think independently and will be educated. Learning English is not easy. It requires you to set a clear goal, constantly repeat new words, communicate without shame when you have the opportunity, adapt the process of learning English to your life, and finally, use technology effectively.

Jadidism first arose in the 80s of the XIX century in the Crimea under the leadership of Ismail Gaspirali among the Crimean Tatars. The representatives of the Jadid movement often called themselves progressives, later Jadids. The advanced progressive forces of that time, first of all, the intellectuals, felt that the local population was lagging behind the global development and realized the need to reform the society.

The term “Renaissance” refers to ancient literature and refers to the revival of science in the Middle Ages. Its scope varies in different countries, covering the period from the 9th to the 15th century. “National revival” is based on the realization of the nation’s identity. When we say the literature of the “National Renaissance” period, we mean the literature of the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It is a unique era.

It is known that the word “jadid” means “new”, “innovation”. There has never been a place and time in the history of mankind, when the innovation that entered the life of the society was not met with great resistance. The harmony of society and human life will sooner or later lead to decline. That is why the leading intellectuals of their time were considered to need new ideas to fight against or prevent the decline that started yesterday in society and human life.

The period of national renaissance is an important period in the historical development of every nation, in which the nation strives to understand its identity, culture and history, and to form new views based on the requirements of the times. The Jadidism movement that arose in our country in the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century is a vivid example of such a period of national renaissance.

The modernist movement was mainly formed in response to the colonial policy of the Russian Empire, the main goal of which was to preserve the national identity and arm the people with modern knowledge. Jadids, that is, supporters of renewal, sought to develop modern education and culture without abandoning old traditions.

Abdulla Qadiri is one of the prominent representatives of the Jadidchilik movement, who widely promoted the ideas of realizing national identity and preserving national values ​​through his novel “Otkan Kunlar”. Also, modernists such as Fitrat, Munavvarqori Abdurashidkhanov, Hamza Hakimzada Niyazi contributed greatly to the development of this movement with their works and activities.

The Jadidism movement played a major role in the cultural and scientific development of our country during the period of national renaissance. Thanks to this movement, important steps were taken to realize the national identity, increase the level of education of the people and reform the society. People’s literacy increased, national culture and literature developed through the schools established by Jadids, newspapers and magazines published.

The period of national renaissance and modernism occupy an important place in the history of our country. Through this movement, our nation realized its identity, took important steps towards acquiring modern knowledge and renewing society. The ideas and activities of Jadids have not lost their importance even today, and they are an example for the younger generation. Therefore, it is the duty of each of us to study the history of the Jadidist movement and its achievements, to preserve the legacy of our great ancestors.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY

Life is a journey, winding and long
Full of moments both weak and strong
It's a tapestry woven with joy and pain
A symphony of loss and gain

Each day a new chapter to unfold
With stories of love, and tales untold
A dance of laughter, a song of tears
A canvas painted with hopes and fears

Life is a gift, a precious treasure
A tapestry of moments to be measured
So cherish each breath, embrace the unknown
For in this life, our true selves are shown
