Uzbekistan 
Uzbekistan has an area of 447,400 
square kilometers 
(172,700 sq mi). It is the 56th largest country in the world by area and 
the 42nd by population. Among the CIS (Commonwealth of 
Independent Countries) countries, it is the 5th largest by area and the 
3rd largest by population. It’s population is 27.7 million people now. 
Uzbekistan is the most populous country in Central Asia. 
Uzbekistan stretches 1,425 kilometers (885 mi) from west to east 
and 930 kilometers (578 mi) from north to south. It borders on 
Kazakhstan and the Aral Sea to the north and northwest, 
Turkmenistan to the southwest, Tajikistan to the southeast, and 
Kyrgyzstan to the northeast. Uzbekistan also shares a short border 
(less than 150 km) with Afghanistan to the south.
The climate in the Republic of Uzbekistan is continental. The 
average summer temperature tends to be 40 °C, while the average 
winter temperature is around 0 °C. 
Major cities include: Bukhara, Samarqand, Namangan, and the 
capital Tashkent. Uzbekistan is divided into twelve provinces and one 
autonomous republic. 
The country is now the world's second-largest exporter of cotton – 
while developing its mineral and petroleum reserves.
Note: 
temperature tends to be 40 °C – harorat odatda 40 °C bo‘ladi. 
 
CONVERSATIONAL PRACTICE 
 
The seasons and the weather 
1 
In Britain, the weather is very varied; people never know what it 
will be like the next day. 
The summer is warmer than the winter, but even in summer the 
average temperature is only 16 degrees. Sometimes the sun shines, but 
at other times the sky is covered in cloud and it often rains. 
In winter it is sometimes very cold, especially in the north of the

country. The temperature may fall below 0, and then there is often 
snow and ice. 
The best season of the year is probably late spring. At this time of 
year the weather is often sunny and quite warm; the countryside looks 
very green, and there are wild flowers everywhere.

Uzbekistan is situated in Central Asia between two rivers the 
Amu-Darya and Sir-Darya. People call it “Sunny Uzbekistan” because 
of its sunny climate. 
Summer in Uzbekistan is very hot; sometimes the temperature 
reaches more than 40 degrees. It is also very dry. It is hot in the day-
time and cool at night. Such weather is very good for growing cotton. 
Autumn in Uzbekistan is the best season of the year. As a rule 
September is very fine here. There are red and yellow leaves on the 
ground. The days are warm though it is rather fresh at night. 
In October it begins raining and it gets much cooler than in 
September. In November it is sometimes very cold. A lot of fruits 
ripen in autumn.
We do not usually have much snow in Uzbekistan in winter and 
when it does come it melts soon. It often rains and drizzles in winter.
In March it gets warmer. Trees all break into blossom. In May 
water in rivers gets warm and it is pleasant to bathe in it. Spring in 
Uzbekistan is a fine season. But it is very short. Already in May it gets 
hot and people wear summer clothes.
