Allowed, possible, or necessary: three answers

Where we are on the map

This support map leads from a situation to a solution: notice the need or obstacle, choose a precise utterance, hear the reply, and check that both people understand the outcome alike. Trace the path with a finger, hide the map, and rebuild it from memory. Each node serves a real exchange rather than the memorisation of a rule name.

A real situation

The group chooses how to present a map. Screen use is allowed in the library, but the device may be busy; saving the file first is necessary.

Listen and respond

Listen: Экранды пайдалануға болады. — We may use the screen.

Listen: Экран бос болмауы мүмкін. — The screen may be busy.

Listen: Файлды алдын ала сақтау керек. — We need to save the file first.

Listen: Мұнда суретке түсіруге болмайды. — Photography is not allowed here.

Listen: Қағаз картаны да дайындайық. — Let us prepare a paper map as well.

Listen: Бұл нұсқа бәріне ыңғайлы ма? — Does this option work for everyone?

How to practise

First play the recording without reading the Kazakh line. Decide whether the speaker is requesting, replying, explaining, or confirming. Then uncover the line, repeat it as a whole after the speaker, and point out the word that changes the meaning. On the third pass, alter one condition and say your own line. If a partner understands it differently, ask for clarification; that is a communication skill.

The precise model

Болады answers a permission or suitability question; мүмкін marks an uncertain outcome; керек names a required step. A screen can be allowed yet unavailable. Place each utterance under one of three separate cards.

The support signal

РҰҚСАТ → ЫҚТИМАЛ → ҚАЖЕТ → ҚОСЫМША НҰСҚА

The limit of the rule

Экран бос болмауы мүмкін neither forbids use nor proves the screen is busy. Check availability instead of turning a possibility into a fact.

Predict before the explanation

Before reading the model, write your first response to the situation. Which facts are known and which are guesses? Choose an action supported by what you know. After the explanation, compare not only word endings but also whether the request or agreement kept its intended meaning.

Rebuild it without the prompt

Hide the page. In one minute draw the four nodes, say a familiar line, the partner’s reply, and your answer. Then change one fact such as time, place, or available object and travel through the path again without the example.

Find and repair the mistake

A learner hears мүмкін and writes ‘the screen is definitely busy’. Repair it to ‘may be busy’, then propose a check and a backup format.

Transfer to a new setting

Read an unfamiliar room rule and state separately what is allowed, what is uncertain, and what must be prepared.

Change to the My World project

Add three annotations to the project plan: permission, an unchecked possibility, and a necessary action. Cite the rule’s source.

Exercise

Sort six new utterances by meaning and explain two borderline cases. Then write a plan that checks whether the screen is available.

Retrieval after 1, 7, and 30 days

• Tomorrow rebuild the four nodes and speak a new two-line exchange without reading.
• After seven days solve an unseen task with a partner; they must restate your final plan in their own words.
• After thirty days return to the project card, change one condition, and repair an unclear utterance yourself.
