Activity 1 . 
The worst thing that happened in my life is the death of my loved one. 
I would like to learn more foreign languages. 
I would like to become a very good specialist in my profession 
I need to work hard on myself to become a good specialist, but sometimes I am lazy 
I really want to teach offline, not online. I do not like it . 
Activity 2 . 
Education System of Uzbekistan 
Education system is composed of the following levels and types of education. A general 
secondary education over a 9 year period of studies is compulsory. Children start their 
education at the age of 6 or 7, depending on their psychological and physical condition. The 
last three years of secondary education can be obtained in two types of secondary 
educational establishments - professional colleges and academic lyceums. Both types of 
schools provide the general secondary education required for further education in the 
universities. One more important principle, introduced into the National Program of 
Personnel Training, is continuity of education. Education starts from pre-school age, 
continues for nine years of obligatory schooling, and then for - additional three years. The 
new concept is aimed at raising the profile of vocational education in the republic. It is 
foreseen, that approximately 80% of all pupils will go to Professional Colleges upon 
completion of the mandatory 9 years’ studies in general secondary education. These offer a 
three year secondary specialized syllabus leading to a range of specialized skills in a 
selected trade. Those pupils, who go to Academic lyceums, are given the opportunity to 
raise their level of knowledge in selected humanitarian, technical or agrarian subjects. Upon 
completion of the Lyceum the student can either opt to pursue higher education or go 
directly into industry. Thus, students have a total of 12 years of compulsory schooling under 
the new program. After that, there is a possibility of the two-level higher education. Next 
postgraduate education comprises postgraduate studies to obtain a degree of doctorate. 
The Ministry of Public Education and the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized 
Education share responsibility in the field of education. According to the National Program 
for Personnel Training higher education is based on the secondary specialized education 
(academic lyceum), vocational specialized education (professional college) and includes 2 
levels: a Bachelor’s degree level and Master’s degree level. The Bachelor’s degree level is 
a basic higher education providing fundamental and applied knowledge according to 
specialty, with a period of study not less than 4 years. Upon completion of the Bachelor’s 
program a graduate is conferred with the degree of bachelor and granted a diploma of the 
state pattern, which entitles him to start professional activity. The Master‘s degree level is 
higher education with fundamental and applied knowledge in a concrete field and lasts not 
less than 2 years on the basis of the Bachelor’s degree. Master’s degree holders are given

a diploma of the state pattern, which entitles the holder to work in his profession. It should 
be emphasized that only students who have studied for a Bachelor’s degree in a certain 
field may apply for the corresponding Master’s course. Every 5 years the teaching staff of all 
types of HEIs has to undergo short-term retraining or upgrading courses.
