Well, if I were to describe this occurrence, I would say when I was traveling to the United Kingdom last year, I thought a new world. When I went to the United Kingdom, actually in August 2024, with my parents, I went and I studied in Oxford International Study Center. I saw the new culture. One of the students from Japan, Thailand and Korea and their culture is different from us. But the Pakistani Indian people of their culture looks like our religion, their culture, communicating, their pronouns too. Also from European students I saw their culture is different. It’s not look like each other. Then we started in one school in a class. So after hours in a fast-tell school, we hit it off immediately with them. And we communicate, we know each other, we communicate and we say some of the jokes each other. Because everyone knows about this, everyone knows that English. And we just talk with each other and share our great bonds with each other and different kind of things which it describes our myths which is myths or truth. Then they asked me about Uzbekistan which is cultural and ancient has a magnificent historical monuments and history. They also asked about me and also I am great at English and also history and I described them and in their image I created great country. So I also asked from the European country and Chinese people about their knowledge, about their history and culture, what is that, is it myth or this kind of question I gave and I got a great response from them.

Well, if I were to describe this occurrence, I would say it was when I was traveling to the United Kingdom last year. I thought it was a new world. When I went to the United Kingdom, actually in August 2024, with my parents, I studied at the Oxford International Study Center. I experienced a new culture. I met students from Japan, Thailand, and Korea, and their cultures are different from ours. However, the Pakistani and Indian cultures resemble ours in terms of religion and communication, including their pronouns. I also noticed that the European students had a different culture; it didn't look like ours at all. We started in one school in a class. After hours at the school, we hit it off immediately. We communicated, got to know each other, and shared jokes. Everyone spoke English, so we talked and formed great bonds while sharing different kinds of things that described our myths, whether they were myths or truths. They asked me about Uzbekistan, which has a rich culture and magnificent historical monuments. They also inquired about me, and since I am good at English and history, I described my country to them, creating a positive image. I also asked the European and Chinese students about their knowledge of their history and culture, whether it was myth or reality. I received great responses from them.
