An important decision in my life that I made when I was 10 years old. At that time, one of my friends attended an English course, while another one attended biology. I was in a dilemma because both of my friends said, "You are my friend, and you should go with me. We can work together and improve our education." I asked for a day to think about it, and during that time, I reflected on both subjects that I loved to continue. I went to my teacher, and my teacher advised me to start learning the English language. I decided to learn English. I have been learning this language for about five years now. I am so happy that I made the decision to learn English because when I need something, especially since I am keen on movies, if there aren't movies dubbed in Uzbek, I try to find the English versions. I can understand them and watch them with enjoyment. Additionally, my place is a true attraction, with many trees and artifacts. When I encounter someone who has lost their way, I try to speak with them. Most of the trees can speak that language, so I try to show them everything and illustrate their structure. This is a decision I made in my life, and I am so happy that I made it.

Some people think that the best place to see wildlife is in a zoo. What do you think?

Some people believe that zoos are the best place to watch wildlife. In my opinion, zoos have advantage, but they are not the perfect choice. On one hand, zoos are a good chance for people of sea-willed animals. Many animals live far away in forests or deserts. ordinary people cannot travel to those places. Zoos […]
