My Future Profession
Many roads are open for youth in our Republic. Anybody can learn at school, but it is not an easy thing to choose a future profession. Some people follow the advice of their parents. Others cannot decide even after leaving school.
As for me, I made my choice long ago. My favourite language is English. I want to learn English very well. Two years ago, I passed exams with excellent marks and began to study at the Lyceum of Oriental Languages. At the lyceum we learn English, Arabic and Turkish. We study English six hours a week so we can learn everything about the English language, English literature and English-speaking coun­tries.
Since gaining its independence, Uzbekistan has been establishing relations with many countries. Therefore, Uzbekistan needs many specialists with a knowledge of English. After finishing the 11th form, I have decided to enter the University of World Economy and Diplomacy. I want to be a useful specialist to further the development of our country. Knowledge of the English language can give a person many opportunities to become an important person in economics, science, or internal or external foreign coope­ration.
