Well, unfortunately nowadays more and more cities are becoming influencedced badly by air pollution. And here I would like to mention one of them that situated in my own country. And um, it is so sad that Tashint, our capital city, has ranked the tens place in the list of the uh, most polluted cities in the world. And it is so worse statistics ever, because it is becoming more and more artists to breeze for residents in Thken. And I have been living here for three years, since I started studying at university. When I first visited there, I could discern the level of air pollution there, because I have an inborn nasal problem in my house. That’s why it was really hard for me to breathe freely. And thanks to my doctors and extra medical suggestions, I have somehow tackled the problem. But it is still the main problem here. That’s why I think we need, we, we really need more fundings and more um, practices, more approach by the government to solve the problem. And I think the public contribution is also crucial to get the target faster and in like a rational way. So I think we have this problem because of poor waste management. There are a lot of spots, uh, we are like polluted by the trash. That’s why I think we need more policies in for the future.

Unfortunately, nowadays, more and more cities are being badly affected by air pollution. I'd like to mention one in my own country. It's sad that Tashkent, our capital city, has ranked among the top ten most polluted cities in the world. This is a terrible statistic, as it's becoming increasingly difficult to breathe for residents. I've lived here for three years since starting university. When I first arrived, I could immediately sense the level of air pollution due to my pre-existing nasal problems. It was hard to breathe freely. Thanks to my doctors and extra medical advice, I've managed to cope, but it remains a major issue. We need more funding, practices, and government initiatives to address this problem. Public contribution is also crucial to achieve a solution faster and more effectively. I believe this problem stems from poor waste management. There are many areas polluted by trash. We need more policies for the future to tackle this.
