Description of your hometown

Plan:

1.My motherland

2.My hometown

3.My hometown my pride

Homeland is a catch-all term that refers to the most sacred and precious place for all human beings, When it comes to my motherland, Uzbekistan, the first thing that comes to my mind is its picturesque views, tranquil streets, kind-hearted people and world-renowned ever-lived brilliant minds. Therefore, with pride and confidence, I can surely say that I am very proud of my country! In this essay, I would like to point out some of the main reasons why my country is my pride.Firstly, we should not forget those who fought in bloody wars in order to achieve the freedom and glittery life that we are enjoying today. I am, thus, very thankful for living under the peaceful sky since nothing gives me as much pride as being part of a country where liberty dwells. Living in a calm and independent country, in my opinion, is the most significant thing because people, in some countries, such as in  Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, always live with fear and doubt due to some threats or dangers like terrorism. it is fact that when the people living in such countries hear the sound of “boom”, they usually get into a panic, thinking somebody bombed somewhere. However, when we, in our country, hear such sound, we are used to thinking that someone is sharing his or her happiness by letting off the fireworks in the sky. Accordingly, it is really great pleasure to dwell in such a peaceful and tranquil country without any violence or war which can put the lives of people in jeopardy. Therefore, it would not be exaggerated  if I say that If the paradise is in the sky, Uzbekistan is under of it, if it is on the Earth, Uzbekistan is above it! Secondly, it is rather difficult for me to express by words how the youths are sincere towards elderly people and how Uzbeks are friendly not only to each other but also to everyone who come to our country as hospitality is in our blood. Whenever tourists or foreigners visit Uzbekistan, we have always been welcoming them with high greetings, showing respect for them no matter who they are, and thus Uzbek nation is, indeed, renowned for its well-disposed people throughout the world.Moreover, I really appreciate the remarkable achievements in various fields we have notched up thus far, in a short span of time, especially in the eyes of the world history. in the sphere of sport, let’s just take the example of  the last summer Olympic Games held in Rio where Uzbek athletes have won a total of thirteen medals, mostly in wrestling and boxing, ranking the seventeenth place in the world, and this result has been considered the highest one so far in the history of Uzbek sportsmen. Laconically, seeing how our compatriots praise the national flag of Uzbekistan to the skies gives me a big honour of being a citizen of this country!My motherland Uzbekistan is sunny and very beautiful in the world and I love my country. I just can compare it with paradise because there is nothing more like it.The Republic of Uzbekistan declared September 1, 1991 the Day of Independence. Uzbekistan is dividedinto twelve provinces, one autonomous republic and one independent city. ( There are many beautiful and attractive places in the world, Uzbekistan can be considered as one of them. Uzbekistan situated at the center of Central Asia and bordered with five neighbors Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. Uzbekistan is prosperous one among them. The history of Uzbekistan is very rich. Over the years, Uzbekistan was a superpower and put great emphasis on science and education, being a home for many breakthroughs and civilizations. The most eminent scientists such as Abu Ali Ibn Sino, Abu Rayhon Beruniy, Al Xorazmiy were our ancestors. As well as this, one of the greatest poets in the world Alisher Navoi whose poems had great influence even on other east countries` literature was also from Uzbekistan. Another example is the king of the largest and most baronial country-Amir Temur was born in this holy land. There are innumerable ancient places that serve as the evidence of our rich history, that are always crowded by tourists. This is one of the reasons why I am so proud of my homeland. With regard to present Uzbekistan, it hasn’t been so far to achieve its independence that didn`t come down from the skies as a gift. For our people, the independence, won over the during scores of tests and difficulties, is a foundation of current happy days. Although Uzbekistan was considered as undeveloped country in the first years of its independence but it, however, has started to flourish in the spheres of economy, transportation and education at high paces. As a result of the consistent realization of the Uzbek Model of development, worked out by the first President of my country- Islam Karimov, the national economy has grown more than 3.5 times. One typical example of a great development of my native land is that it has begun to manufacture high-tech products ranging from automobiles to consumer durables, diversifying its economy not to be dependent on only agriculture in particular, cotton cultivation within merely 20 years of independency. As well as this,Uzbek automobiles, clothes and other product are prevalent in the world trade.The developing of economy in the country cause to a proportional increase of locals’ living standards. It is another sign of a great potential of my fatherland. In Uzbekistan, different nations live in peace and friendship. Uzbekistan is famous, in the world, for its hospitality and friendship. It is believed that the person who was born even in desert would say that it is paradise because it is his or her motherland. Uzbekistan is a multinational country. The two main languages are Uzbek and Russian but you will also hear several other languages including Korean, English, German, Tajik and Turkish. Besides the Uzbek population, Uzbekistan contains many other nationalities, all with their own mode of life. People in Uzbekistan wear different types of clothes. In villages you will observe women wearing traditional clothes like long variegated dresses and scarves. In cities they are less traditional and more modern. Men wear pants more often than jeans. Shorts are worn rather rarely and usually only by people in the city. Being a guest or inviting someone into your home is a big thing in Uzbekistan. People will often visit a friend or neighbor without a special reason. Uzbek people are known to be very hospitable and find it an honor to have a guest in their home. There are even special seating arrangements for guests. The eldest person or honored guest is usually invited to sit at the head of the table, away from the door. Young people or hosts sit by the door to act as “waiters.” They bring and take away dishes, pour tea and do other things. Uzbekistan is also known for its national cuisine. Unlike their nomadic neighbors, the Uzbeks have been a settled civilization for centuries. Between the deserts and mountains, the oases and fertile valleys, they have cultivated grain and domesticated livestock. The resulting abundance of produce has allowed them to enrich their cuisine. The seasons greatly influence the composition of national foods. In summer, fruits, vegetables and nuts are widely used in cooking. Fruits grow in abundance in Uzbekistan such as grapes, melons, apricots, pears, apples, cherries, pomegranates, lemons, figs and dates. Vegetables are also plentiful, such as eggplants, peppers, turnips, cucumbers and luscious tomatoes. There are also some lesser-known species of vegetables such as green radishes, yellow carrots, and dozens of pumpkin and squash varieties. The Uzbeks prefer mutton to other kinds of meat; it is the main source of protein in the Uzbek diet. Beef and horsemeat are also eaten. The wide choice of bread is a staple for the majority of the population. Round, unleavened break or leplyoshka/non is usually baked in a tandir (round ovens made of mud) and served with tea. The national bread is often sold on street corners. Some varieties are cooked with onion or meat while others are simply sprinkled with sesame seeds. The most well-known Uzbek dish is plov or osh. It is cooked with fried meat, onions, carrots and rice. Sometimes raisins, barberries, chickpeas or other fruits are added. Uzbeks are very proud of their skills to cook plov. A master plov chef cooks plov on an open flame, sometimes serving up to 1,000 people from a single cauldron on holidays or special occasions like weddings. Tea is a reverent beverage in the finest Oriental traditions; it is the drink of hospitality. Tea is first served to guests and then to family members. Green tea is more popular in Uzbekistan than black but black is preferred in Tashkent. Everyone loves his hometown or city dearly.It is like loving the home or the place where one passes one’s life. My hometown is Nukus. Nukus is a city in Uzbekistan, and the capital of the sovereign autonomous Karakalpakstan Republic. Surrounded by three deserts, the Uzbek city Nukus (Nokis in Karakalpak) is situated on the north of Uzbekistan. The city is the capital of the autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan, which is the most extensive in the territory and the most thinly populated region in Uzbekistan (the density of population here is only 10 people per square km). Its population is estimated at 180,000. Nukus developed from a small settlement in 1932 into a pleasant, modern Soviet city with broad avenues and big public buildings; however, the city’s isolation made it host to the Red Armys Chemical Research Institute, a major research and testing center for chemical warfare weapons.With the fall of the Soviet Union and the growing ecological disaster of the Aral Sea, the city has certainly seen better times. Contamination of the surrounding area by wind-borne salt and pesticides from the dry Aral Sea bed have turned the surrounding area into a wasteland, with very high rates of respiratory disorders, cancer, birth defects and deformities. Nukus is the sixth-largest city in the country, but someone may tell you this is the least appealing destination among tourists. Don’t believe them! This city has an ace in the hole.Nukus is a Soviet creation, and some may find it not that beautiful as other big Uzbek cities. Still, after Karakalpakstan achieved independence, the city turned into a developed administrative center with well-established infrastructure. There are some remarkable sights in the city that attract travelers from all over the world and make them come here on their tour to Uzbekistan. First, tourists go to Nukus to visit the famous State Art Museum named after I.V. Savitsky, which represents one of the best collections of the Soviet-era art. Second, the city is a host to the State Museum where you can see the endangered species of flora and fauna of the Aral Sea. Nature enthusiasts will surely like this place. Those looking for some amazing adventures can take a trip to deserts and ride a camel there.Although Nukus has recently celebrated its 80th birthday, the history of this place extends throughout millenniums. This region has a few archaeological and historical sites. Before our days, the settlement Shurcha existed there, in which people had been living since IV century BC. After some time, the settlement transformed into an urban-type settlement.Being under the rule of the Soviet Union, Nukus has got an architectural footprint of this era.Nowadays Nukus is a peculiar Uzbek city, in which you will be able to see a real-life of average Uzbeks and their actual lifestyle. National coloring and culture in everyday routine are not very noticeable there, and, of course, the locals don’t wear national costumes when going to the supermarket. However, you can find lots of authentic attributes in the souvenir shops. Start with getting one of those Uzbek folk hats – skullcaps!Talking with the local people, a tourist will definitely admit a different mindset and special features of communication. With that, Nukus people are really welcoming and hospitable towards international guests. Besides, the city is inhabited by a mixture of cultures, which cannot but please a traveler who would like to get acquainted with a variety of oriental nations. From the architectural side, Nukus today is composed of new buildings on the main streets of the city and old ones left over from the Soviet Union period. If you are looking for a getaway from the big city hassle, Nukus is a perfect variant. There are no sky-scrapers and actually almost no buildings higher than 5 floors. This will give you a feeling of simplicity and authenticity.Nukus can offer you some really nice and cozy hotels with a fine interior design, where you can stopover. Thanks to a developed transportation network, every tourist can easily get to any sight and just conveniently move around the pleasant places in the city.

“I love my hometown as I love my home and I like to stay in the town streets as I stay in the rooms of my house.”
