My homeland is Uzbekistan, an amazing country. It is as old as the Earth itself, as beautiful as a tulip. The culture of Uzbekistan is as diverse as the patterns of a bright carpet.
The population of our country is as diverse in national composition, as rich as the placers of flowers on the slopes of the Uzbek mountains or on the plains.
The Day of National Unity was established in memory of the events of 1612, when the people's militia led by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky liberated Moscow from the Polish interventionists. Historically, this holiday is associated with the end of the Time of Troubles in Russia in the 17th century. We need our country, each of us. Only together we are strength, only together we will overcome everything. The story is being created here and now, we are making history.
День национального единства был создан в память о событиях 1612 года, когда народная милиция во главе с Кузьмой Минином и Дмитрием Пожарским освободила Москву от польских интервентов. Исторически этот праздник связан с окончанием Смутного времени в России в 17 веке. Нам нужна наша страна, каждый из нас. Только вместе мы - сила, только вместе мы все преодолеем. История создается здесь и сейчас, мы делаем историю.
Environmental ProtectionWe live in a world full of different types of pollution. Wanting to make their lives easier people have invented so many new devices and factories, that nature is in danger. Unfortunately, environment is not the unlimited source of resources. At the moment, our planet suffers from numerous problems and damages. For example, acid rain, which is the result of waste gases from power stations. Such rains cause forest damages. Other big problems are water shortage and the destroying ozone layer. It is all the result of pollution that comes from factories and plants. Wildlife suffers as well. Many species of animals and plants start to disappear. Another big issue is global warming and green house effect. As you can see, there is a long list of environmental problems, which need to be solved. Otherwise, our planet Earth may get fully destroyed. People should start dealing with these problems immediately. The most important thing they can do is to change their attitude towards the environment. First of all, people should switch to alternative forms of power, such as wind power or solar energy. Secondly, the use of nuclear power should be banned. Thirdly, we should start to recycle. It’s the art of turning waste into new products. Other than that, the number of harmful plants should be reduced because they pollute the air and water greatly. It would be a good idea if people started using bicycles instead of cars. We are obliged to protect nature. If everybody cares, it would make difference.
