minutes by car

fresher in markets since we usually get from the first-hand
sellers.
Markets usually quite far from our home, however
supermarkets are readily available next to each neighborhood.

outlets, however my grandad always persuades me going to
these traditional street markets with him together.

messaging, or i share my photos on social media platforms to
hold more likes and comments through my cellphone. In
particular, i use it to keep in touch with my screen pen friends.

It depends largely on my situation, if i am sitting in the
lectures at university, i will text not to disturb the lecturer.
Out of my university, i can do calls or even video calls.

my current phone for 3 years, it was manufactured by RedMi
company, despite it is a little bit outdated, it is quite fast and
convenient to use.

be in the fashion, i have been raising money since the
beginning of the year, after all my university exams, i am
going to buy.

It has revolutionised my adolescent life for better. In
particular, my cellphone was my intimate friend during the
harsh pandemic days. The most noteworthy point is that it is
saving my time to do many essential tasks online.
13
Time management
How do you usually organise plan your time ?
49
So well, study is always my priority, on a daily basis, i
priorities essential tasks and assignments and then try to do
first these.
Is it easy to manage time for you ?
It is pretty straightforward for me since my mom has
instructed me to make clear plans for the following days and
weeks, so i have been following this medium to deal with
time management since my childhood. I usually write down
my tasks to my checklist a day before and then perform it the
following day.
What is the hardest plan about making plans ?
Since i am a studyholic person, i find complex sometimes to
make boundaries between my student and real life. I think
making a delicate balance between work and life can effect
hugely on our productivity.
What is the latest plan that you made ?
50
I usually make plans to spend my time wisely, a month ago i
made a big decision to learn Russian language, however since i

do it.
14
Websites

[Link], I tend to do some self study lessons in Khan
academy website for free and then browse some video
lessons which i didn't get enough at university

generation, however news covering websites are pretty
common among senior citizens and few people tend to buy
newspapers on a daily basis instead they get news online.

[Link], without any doubt, i use it for both
entertainment and educational purposes. It is very easy to get
into YouTube hours and hours, i always try to limit my online
time.
Are there any changes to the websites you often visit ?
I guess the number of videos posted on YouTube has
increased exponentially. It is, however, much more likely that
there are billions of content creators now, so it is trickier to
find quality and meaningful contents.
15
Loosing and finding things
What should people do if they find something ?
I guess, firstly if any individual find some items on their way, it
would be greater to wait a little on the place where they
found, of course if they have time. Secondly they can make
52
some small posters on nearby that place and the most
effective medium is broadcast posts on social media platforms
such as Facebook, Instagram.
Is it ok to keep an item that you found ?
To certain extent, yes, on the one hand, it is ok to save these
found items safe from wrong hands in public places up until
the real owner is found. On the other hand, it is akin to
stealing to save for a long time without publicising about it.
What should people do to find what they lost ?
Firstly, they shouldn't get panic and show off emotions
abruptly. With clear mind, they have to track the way where
they have recently walked. If it is no avail, they can go one the
offices of Lost Property Agency in their local area, they can
definitely help to find luxurious items and documents.
What things do people usually find ?
53
It quite varies, for example in my local area, people usually
forgot to take their a bunch of keys on the meal table of cafes
or restaurants they have visited. In addition to this, some
fashion accessories such as earphones, wallets are also
commonly lost items.
Have you ever lost something ?
Yes, despite we have a pair of remote control for TV, i usually
lost both of them at home. Again, it was the first and the last
one, i lost my smartphone a few years ago. Fortunately i
hardly managed to get it back.
16
Daily routine
How do you usually organise your study time ?
My merciful mum has taught me to make and follow rigidly to
daily routines. Since i am a studyholic person, i priorities all
54
my essential tasks and assignments, and then seek to finish
them first on a daily basis. In the evening, i check and tick my
to-do list
Have you ever changed your routine ?
Definitely big yes, as soon as my university professors
announce the dates of session exams, i will turn on "Study
Mode" in myself. As a result, i spend approximately 15 hours
in a day for preparations.
Do you ever change your plans ?
Definitely big yes, as soon as my university professors
announce the dates of session exams, i will turn on "Study

15 hours in a day for preparations. I have to sacrifice many
other recreational activities.
What is your daily study routine ?
55
I got up at about 7 in summer, and then i have 30 minutes to
have a shower and breakfast. Then i have to be at 8 at my
university. I leave university at lunch time. I do lunch with my
group mates at around 1 o'clock. The library is the next place
w here i spend my time up until 8 clock in the evening.
What is your favourite time of the day ?
Since i am mainly pressed for time in the morning, i don't like
it as much as i do dinner time.
it is mostly likely that dinner time at home is mood boosting
time for me. Because, it is really amazing to kick off family
friendly conversation over a homemade delicious meals by my
mum.
Do you like to plan what you will do each day ?
I enjoy making clear image of what i will do the following day,
because it gives me directions and triggers me to spend my
day efficaciously. It helps me to bring more productivity in my
student life.
56
Please describe your typical daily routine ?
I got up at about 7 in summer, and then i have 30 minutes to
have a shower and breakfast. Then i have to be at 8 at my
university. I leave university at lunch time. I do lunch with my
group mates at around 1 o'clock. The library is the next place
where i spend my time up until 8 clock in the evening.
Do you usually do the same things at the same time each day ?
I seek to do so, because it builds up my efficiency and helps
with time management.
In reality, however, i could hardly manage to follow my daily
routine.
What do you want to change in your daily routine ?
I sensed that i haven't curb my time on social media platforms,
since then, i am going to sacrifice my online time for 2 hours,
and spend this 2 hours for learning Russian language.
57
I hope it will happen soon.
17
Car
What do you usually do when there's a traffic jam ?
Actually, i face long standstill traffic congestions almost every
other day in central streets of my local area, what i do first is
to inform my university professor about it, and then i make
some other phone or video calls with close people on the
contact list who I did not get in touch for a long time. After
that, if i am in a talkative mood, I kick off a conversation with
other passengers.
Do you prefer to be a driver or a passenger ?
On daily basis, I can't stand in the driver seat in the light of
nerve-racking and noisy traffic congestion in the morning.
However, at nights when there are less and lesser vehicles, i
58
thoroughly enjoye driving and listening to music under the
moonlight sky.
What type of car do you like ?
My father has a estate car, it is the type of car that has
adequate seats of 8 people and also for luggage and bulky
items. It seems suitable for very our extended family and for
our long car journeys
Why do you like to travel by car ?
There are many reasons why i prefer it
The first reason I can go along with my intimate friends
together for a reasonable price of fuel. The second one, we
can stop easily on the way of our journey and look at around
the stunningly beautiful Mother Nature and take some photos.
What is the farthest place you have travelled to by car ?
59
The longest car journey was the last year, it was time to go
capital city Tashkent. I guess it took more than 6 hours, i felt
very exhausted after my arrival to the final destination.
Do you like to sit in front or back when travelling by car ?
I choose to sit in the front seat, next to the driver's seat, since
I cannot sleep for a second during long car journeys, i can
make the driver be awake with telling funny stories. I think it
is far safer to do so.
When do you travel by car ?
For short destinations, i would say every day i commute to
university by my father's car, i am afraid i am using my father
as a chauffeur service. On the other hand, for long journeys,
we usually organise trips to Samarkand and Khiva by car when
my family is holidaying in summer.
18
Memory
60
Are you good at memorising things ?
Sure, i have been trying multiple tasks to retain my prodigious
memory. For example, i usually use repetitive learning
medium to learn foreign language [Link] this way, i say
words loudly for my self many times. Secondly, i usually
repeat these words before sleeping. I am convinced these
aforementioned mediums are worth doing.
Why do people often forget small things ?
It depends largely on their lifestyle and occupation as well. If
they have many priorities which are more important than
minor ones, they keep in mind only the mainstream ones. Or
at least, they face some problems with memory.
How can you make sure you don't forget things ?
So in this situation, firstly, i write down my plans on the
checklist and then i regularly check it at the end of the day to
61
ensure that i could manage to do. Second method i do is to set
reminder on my phone calendar, my phone sends me
notification when it is time to do.
19
Advertisements
Do you watch ads till the end ?

making advertising campaigns to mass brand national and
international products in our local markets and central streets.
The city streets are full of ubiquitous posters. They are chasing
us wherever we go

What are the different places where we see advertisements?
Regretfully, it seems to me that as if advertisements are
conquering the whole city. We see them in unlikely location
for example in bathrooms and in taxis we are receiving
marketing messages.
What advertising do you have in your country ?
Yes, there are a colossal number of companies that are
making advertising campaigns to mass brand national and
international products in our local markets and central streets.
The city streets are full of ubiquitous posters. They are chasing
us wherever we go.
How do yoy feel about advertisements ?
To be perfectly honest, i have a mixed-blessing to modern ads.
For example, on the one hand, when marketing is a the best
medium to cultivate a competitive business environment. On
63
the other hand, their marketing ploys are aimed at the wrong
audience, in particular children. I think, It is unethical
Do you like advertisements ?
If they are on the right position and time, they are tolerable.
However when their main prey is young naive children for
unhealthy foods such as fast food, i am totally opposed to
them.
Do you like advertisements on TV ?
They are not more than annoyances They are mainstream
abominable distractors in the middle of my favourite TV
shows. For example: if you watch any TV show an hour, over

Telemarketing is not more than annoyances, they are
mainstream abominable distractors in the middle of my
64
favourite TV shows. For example: if you watch any TV show an
hour, over 20 minutes will be spent on watchin them.

Advertising companies usually receive orders from
manufacturers to make the name for themselves firstly on a
national scale, then promote their brand name on an
international scale.

world ?
An Investment heavily on marketing campaigns is the core
point to gather clients for any products that are being shown
on screens, without advertising manufacturers are unable to
thrive their company with profits.

products ?
Manufacturers usually invest heavily on marketing campaigns
to make the name for themselves firstly on a national scale,
then their second mainstream goal is to promote their brand
name on an international scale.
20
Boring things
Do you think school is boring ?
I don't think so, schools itself are not boring. There might be
other mainstream reasons. Children are usually shy of to
make friendship with others ar school. Secondly,
schoolchildren have lack of motivation and passion to start
school since they are playful.
What things are boring to you ?
66
I can be bored easily with a many things, however, silence is
truly numbingly boring situation for me. Maybe that is the
reason, i have some talkative mood and i also persuade my
friends to talk more. It is really amazing for me to discuss on
some topics without stopping.
What do you do when you feel bored ?
When i am bored with everything, my mind stops to working
properly. At that time i try to talk with more people on any
topic. Or at least, i will just turn off everything and sleep.
Do you ever got bored ?
Fortunately no, i usually try to occupy myself with essential
tasks because when i am free or have nothing to do, i will
definitely feel boredom.
Do you feel more bored than when you were young ?

boredom or depression. However, i have already aware of
mediums to avoid this harsh feeling. I am more happy now
campared to the past.

as a present. Because she know my curiosity for wrist watches,

themselves picking up trendy design label watches and the
second one to show off their wealth on these small gadgets.

Old buildings
Should old buildings be preserved?
Without any questions, yes. Because, they embodies all the
symbols of pre-historical life. Architectural heritages can also
contribute hugely to the financial well-being of governmental
budget through attracting tourists.

I would say both modern and historical facilities have their
own meaning. Firstly, old buildings can express the lifestyle of
past people, secondly they were mainly constructed to show
religious beliefs as well.

They can regarded as stunningly beautiful landmarks of the
city, historical heritages are mainly stand out from concrete

for collectors. It can help to expand collectors knowledge

into the symbol of their life.

big companies as pastime and recreational activity in my

science classes much more interesting and funny for the
minors.

deal with current environmental and economic problems. If

Murad Nazarov actually is a 35 years old entrepreneur
in Uzbekistan, his is the main (CEO) Chief Executive
Officer of his company which is called Murad Buildings.
This company erects high-rise apartment blocks and
skyscrapers with conscious and exquisite exterior and
interior decorations. He is a pioneer entrepreneur in my
country in terms of building skyscrapers in densely
populated downtown areas.
He has big reputation and remuneration in business
world of Uzbekistan. When i met with him in the youth
meeting last year at my university, i perceived that he
was really outgoing and tactful person unlike other
eminents.
I can succinctly say that i don't have big esteem towards
this person since he is affluent or eminent. No, he has
been subsidising a colossal amount of funds and money
for deprived children and low-income families who are
living in underprivileged suburban places of my
hometown to equip those school children with
advanced education system and materials. And to
improve standard of living in rural areas by his
philanthropic projects. This is the point i have
97
discovered Murad Nazarov as an icon role-model in my
own little world.
In conclusion, Murad Nazarov embodies all the personal
traits and characteristics that i admire as real Nobel
person

Course that impressed you
98
To be perfectly honest i have been learning languages
as long as I can remember.
I have decided to talk my life changing experience
In retrospect, a couple of years back, i finished my high
school. Since education bodies of Uzbekistan have been
allocating governmental budget to fund with free
education for anyone who achieved ceiling scores in the
university entry exams. Because, At that time, academic
tuition fees were insurmountable, in particular for my
family.
At the beginning i was ignorant how to gain ceiling
scores, luckily my school teacher kindly recommended
to take English language courses in my local area.
Thanks to my teacher's recommendations, i started to
engage in English lessons in this language centre called
"Learning Skills Lab" to win the bursary.
99
That day came, i entered the exam, initially, i thought
that i couldn't manage to get accepted to university,
since numerous smart and genius applicants were also
participating in that exam.
Finally, can you speculate ? an email come from
admission staff, i can fondly remember that the email
was written like that : Dear Mardon, we kindly inform
you that you can study for free for 4 year course of
study in our university.
This was a life changing experience in my adolescent life
I was overwhelmed by this 100% full bursary,
I take my hat off to my supportive and tactful tutors of
this paradise language centre.
-A new place you visited
-An interesting city
-Place that you recommend to live
100
As rule of our family value, We habitually keep enjoying
journeys while we are holidaying within summer
months.
In retrospect,I have decided to share my last experience
that i got during our familial journey to Amsterdam last
year. It was in June, we wanted to wind down just after
graduating a grueling and rigid year of study and work
We made a ruling to pay a visit to Amsterdam. I was
overwhelmed by airlines because it was my first flight.
Our family stayed in the moderately-priced hotel in the
downtown area of Amsterdam.
We were absolutely staggered by the cleanliness of the
city atmosphere because virtually over 50 percentage of
its citizens ride bikes to commute to work, education in
their daily lives. I guess eco-friendly bicycles are
inseparable items of Amsterdam.
101
Despite we had spend just 5 days there, we could
manage to watch a range of spectacular and stunningly
beautiful sightseeings of the city and we got selfies and
pictures to save sweet instant memories into photos.
In addition to this, we did some shopping in open-air
markets of inner city, the local dwellers were really
approachable and outgoing tactful.
But i must also admit we skipped the museums and
historical heritages. This 5 day journey was a very time
for all members of my family to be far from the hustle
and bustle of the our lives, in particular i thoroughly
enjoyed and recharged my batteries through putting all
stress-induced thoughts to one side.
In conclusion, It is fact that Amsterdam was a worth
visiting paradise city where i have ever visited.
Long walk you had (past)
Place you visited in the village (past)
Quite place you like to go (future)
102
To be brutally frank, as a principle of my life, i
sometimes make an attempt to be introvert for a short
period of time, i mean to perform some solitary
thinking.
With retrospectively, I have decided to talk about the
last walking i have had, it was last week, i wanted to
wind down just after finishing all grueling and rigorous
session exams at university.
Since i watched an advertisement about one of the
recently launched waterfront public park surrounded by
lush green trees.
Despite it is located in a quite remote area, near to the
suburban place, i took advantage of riding scooter to
reach there. As far as i had entered through the
luxurious entrance, i started to sense as if i was in a
cartoon culture, i took a stroll along the path under the
exotic green trees to map out my long and near future
goals.
103
In the middle, there was a waterfront bookcafe with
conspicuous natural exterior and interior decorations, i
sipped some chilled drinks. In general, it was really time
to get relaxed for me, in particular it was golden
opportunity to recharge my batteries through putting
all stress-induced thoughts to one side. The park itself is
paradise and worth visiting point under the Mother
Nature.
As it has not yet mass branded its name, there have
been less and lesser walkers and tourists there currently.
104
A house that you would like to live in.
In retrospect, i have been thoroughly enjoying in our
current cozy house since i have been dwelling in this
paradise residence for over 20 years.
On the other hand, however, if had a golden
opportunity to build or choose my dream house, it
would be located in Dubai, near to The Palm beach. This
is one of my favourite modern city in the world because
of its climate and breathtaking landmarks.
In terms of its size, it would had better get a quite
bigger than the current one, as i have an extended
family and on top of this, our home is serving as a hotel
for our relatives who come to the city centre from
suburban places, by taking into account these
calculations it has to be be enough large many rooms to
accommodate all members of the family.
105
In addition to this, i would like to have a little well-
equipped gym in the basement, it is much more likely
that we are being get accustomed to sedentary lifestyle,
i hope the gym would only work for our advantage.
The last but not least, one of my priorities would
absolutely be to possess my own study room with up to
date furniture. Maybe with soundproof walls, since
whenever i was snowed under with homework and
assignments to finish them up to the grueling and
rigorous exams, i can easily isolate myself with the
assistancy of this room from my noisy and cheerful little
siblings.
Ideally, my future house is highly likely to hold
mentioned above adjectives and properties.
Lake or river that is important in your country
106
I am glad that i hava this question because i have been
aficionado about learning Mother Nature and i always
wonder about magics of flora and fauna.
I have decided to give information about lake Charvak,
this is one of the most popular lake in Uzbekistan, and
also among local dwellers and for tourists. it is located
in a quite remote area from downtown area.
What i know about this spot is that the Government
Officials of Uzbekistan has been allocating much more
its attention and budget to this paradise place in a bit to
attract more tourists into this stunningly beautiful and
spectacular natural landscape.
From my point of view, paying a visit to Charvak every
summer can be one of the familial value in each
household in Uzbekistan. As the lake area is attracting
many people to holiday destination in hot sunny
summer months, the place is flooded with influx of not
solely domestic tourists but also visitors come from
overseas countries.
107
We must also admit that holiday makers spend twice
here compared to other ordinary holiday spots.
The reason why it is vitally important is that it
contributes highly to financial well-being of the
governmental budget in sumemr since taxes and
alternative fees are paid by the hotels, restaurants and
leisure centrez of Charvak.
I am afraid, some eco-friendly precaution
measurements have to be taken instantly to keep the
landscape free of damage.

A thing that you did to learn a foreign language
In retrospect, I have been learning foreign languages as
long as i can remember. I have tried all sorts of
mediums to improve my language skills.
Before all, when i used to study at school, proficiency in
English was a prerequisite to win a bursary as fresher
student at university.
On the other hand, i was ignorant how to cultivate my
language proficiency, or what i was supposed to do to
win scholarship
In the meantime, hopefully, My school teacher kindly
recommended me to make and follow daily and weekly
109
routines to achieve my academic goals, in particular
acquiring foreign language skills to pursuit optimal
academic performance.
Thanks to my teacher's advice, in a short period of time,
i sensed sharp positive increase in my language skills. As
a result, i have been accepted with 100 % full
scholarship at university.
In other words, making and following routines were
game-changer experience in my early adolescent life.
All recommendations that were advised by my teacher
are not solely fruitful in study process but also it is
paying off in the long term in my [Link] all of these, i
am the most grateful in front of my supportive and
tactful English tutor.
1)A memorable story that someone told you.
110
In retrospective, I have actually decided to talk about
the last real life story i have heard and amazed in
meeting with Murad Nazarov who has big remuneration
and reputation business world in my country.
He shared experience that he had got in his past
student life :
He said :
Despite i was 22 years old boy and i was studying at
university, i used to abdicate all my responsibilities and
i was off the hook, for all of these and my bad habits, i
was under the censure of my family and university
professors.
But one day, however I found an incredible passion and
desire in myself just to start a new fresh.
After that, i started to read the book, called Atomic
Habits, with my full potential and attention. As far as i
red some pages of the book, i started to sense that as if
the book was deliberately targeted at readers, like me,
who are plaguing from bad habits. I finished this book in
a month.
111
In other words, reading this book carefully was a life
changing experience in my adolescent life and it indeed
assisted me to discover myself as a self-disciplined
individual he said.
The last but not least, i am convinced that books
possess incredible knowledge and motivation to direct
us to the correct way of life.
An occasion that you received a special cake.
As a rule of our family values, we tend to organise
birthday parties and celebrations with the home-made
cakes that my mom prepares as she is an incredible
baker in preparing surprising cakes.
In retrospective, last November,
112
When i came back at home in the evening with full of
pressure. There was noone in the house, as far as i
switched on the light, all may family members cheered
and congratulated me. At this point, i got shocked and i
knew it was my birthday.
Since i was snowed under with paperwork and
assignments to finish them up to the deadline, I totally
forgot about the date of my birthday.
My mom brought her masterpiece she had made. It was
not solely looked good but also it was stunning and
yummy delicious. It was 2 layered with rainbow colours.
The most noteworthy point that made me shocked was
my portrait that was emblazoned on it.
Since i am obsessed to sugary things, in particular
home-made cakes by my mom, i can't stop myself from
eating these delicatessens with my full appetite
[appetayt ].
113
In conclusion, i absolutely loved this cake, it mostly
likely that my mum makes cakes much more delicious
compared to those street bakeries made.
An ambition that you haven't achieved
Regretfully, i can convict myself for the mainstream
underlying cause for all of aims that i couldn't manage
to get them.
I have been making numerous attempts to come true
one of my lifelong ambitions, being a punctual
adolescent is a person trait that i have yet to acquire
To start with, despite i am 22 years old adolescent and
studying at university, i tend to be lazy and i am a little
114
bit off the hook, for all of these my faults and some bad
personal traits, i have been under the censure of my
family and university professors.
Firstly, it is undoubtedly true that social environment
and people around us are vitally important to discover
ourselves and our identity with them. Maybe i can
rarely depict my intimate friends in my day-to-day life
as punctual individuals.
My personal traits have already cultivated in this
environment.
In the meantime, Fortunately, i have been making and
following my daily routines strictly for over the last
couple of weeks to do my essential missions at home
and studying on time.
In addition to this, i am going to start to read the book,
called Atomic Habits, with my full potential and
attention, since it is targeted at people, like me, who
are plaguing from bad habits.
115
Thanks to these mediums i am having, I hope, it is
mostly likely to discover myself as a self-disciplined
individual in the not too distant future
- Happy event that you organised.
- An important event that you celebrated
In retrospective, one day i found an incredible intention
and passion to organise an eating out for my parents
birthday.
I told my brother and we started to raise our money
prior to my parents birthday date in 6th of May, a by
the way they both were born on the same day.
116
That day came, on the 6th if May, in the morning we
informed our parents that we booked an evening party
at the restaurant where my mom really adore it.
As far as my parents walked red carpet through the
luxurious entrance to the hall of restaurant, my siblings
and i welcomed them, and then we congratulated our
parents with a bunch of white roses as this type of roses
are favourite ones of my mother.
The most noteworthy point that i should mention made
my parents totally shocked was that my sister
presented a stunningly beautiful cake with a portrait of
my parents on it.
At the same time, background Lyric music about parents
was also adding a great deal of emotion to the situation.
And then, we gathered around the specially prepared
table and had dinner. At the end, we took lots of
photos in a bit to save sweet instant memories.
117
In general, our merciful parents were really happy and
got some tears also even if it was just a little effort from
their children
Day out that didn't cost a lot
In retrospective, one day i found an incredible intention
and passion to organise an eating out for my parents
birthday.
I told my brother and we were supposed to gather at
around 500$ prior to my parents birthday date in 6th of
May.
That day came, on the 6th if May, in the morning we
informed our parents that we booked an evening party
at the restaurant where my mom really adore it. My
siblings and i arrived at the location before the arrival of
my parents
118
As far as my parents walked red carpet through the
luxurious entrance to the hall of restaurant, my siblings
and i welcomed them, and then we congratulated our
parents with a bunch of white roses as this type of roses
are favourite ones of my mother.
At the same time, background Lyric music about parents
was also adding a great deal of emotion to the situation.
In general, my parents were really happy and even got
some tears of joy.
By witnessing this situation, the headmaster of the
restaurant gave us a 50 percent discount as she was
very overwhelmed by seeing such a happy family party.
As a result, We paid totally a half of the bill, which was
200$
A positive change in your life
119
Regretfully, despite i am 22 years old adolescent and
have been studying at university, i had abdicated a few
of my responsibilities and have a little bad personal
traits such as getting and being too late. For all of these
i have been under the censure of my family and
university professors.
In retrospect, one day i found an incredible intention
and passion in myself to be a punctual person,
However I was ignorant what i supposed to do,
fortunately my professor at university kindly
recommended me to make and follow daily routines in
order to do my essential tasks on time and achieve my
optimal academic performance.
120
Thanks for the professor's recommendations, in a short
period of time, i perceived a sharp positive increase in
both my life and student life.
In general, i have concluded that making and following
daily, weekly and even yearly one is not solely fruitful in
terms of being punctual but also it is a golden
opportunity to spend our life wisely and in a meaningful
way.
For advice that was recommended by my professor, i
always take my hat off to my supportive and tactful
professor as a token of my great appreciation
A time that you gave advice to others.
I am pleased that i have this topic. I have an incredible
intimate friend, whose name is Zafarbek, he is my
childhood friend. At the same time, we are studying in
one university together.
121
In retrospective, one day, despite he had a good tactful
adolescent characteristic, he complained about his
some bad personal traits such as getting up and being
too late always. He said that for these his faults, he had
been under the censure of his family and university
professors.
Since i had already went through and find a sheer
solution for this case in my early adolescent life.
I kindly recommended him to make and follow daily
routines in order to perform his essential tasks on time
and achieve optimal academic results on a daily basis.
In general, my friend is really overwhelmed by sharp
positive increases in the productivity of his life. He has
been following strictly daily, even monthly routines.
In my opinion, following our daily routines can not
solely be useful in performing essential tasks on time
122
but also it would pave that way to spend our life
efficaciously
A time that you got stuck into traffic jam.
To be perfectly honest, i can fondly remember this
harsh day as it was yesterday.
On a daily basis, i face a morning rush hour, Because i
sleep till the last minute, so i leave the home when the
traffic was at its peak. Especially, Mondays are
inevitably congested.
The last Monday was no also exception, on this day, i
supposed to participate in the essential session exam of
university. Everything started in the morning, i got up at
7.30
However, on the other hand, the exam was at 8
o'clock.I begged my father to take and drive his car in
order to reach the exam location on time.
123
Regretfully, since it was Monday, i faced a long
congested street.
Despite the exam location takes just a 10 minute long
by car from my home. The very rush hour prolonged it
to more.
I lost my mind and it was one of the awful and
disgusting day in my adolescent life
because if i couldn't manage to get the final exam on
time, it was mostly likely that i might be postponed
from course to course
In general, i could hardly manage to arrive the exam, if
my arrival was late for 2 seconds, i obviously lost my
exam.
By experiencing this situation, i have been trying to be a
punctual adolescent and i am getting up early in the
morning to do essential tasks on time during the day
An interesting discussion you had with your friend.
124
In retrospective, approximately 6 months ago, my i
intimate friend, Oybek, invited me to evening eat out
in city centre. While we were having a great dinner, he
opened his heart to me and told all his problems and
intentions.
Since he couldn't manage to be accepted at university
exams after school, he has been working in a local
bakery for low salary since then. Because of this
unreasonable salary, He sadly told me that he was going
to go Russia in the intention of making better money by
working in laborious jobs as a blue-collar worker
At that time, i was got really disappointed with his this
intention. I then explained that working in Russia just to
get money can be a stopgap solution.
And then, For the long term benefit, I kindly started to
explain the significance of education and getting
university diploma in terms of fulfilling all his future
125
goals satisfactorily through getting promotions in high-
profile lucrative posts
I really wanted cancel his flight to Moscow. Regretfully,
despite all my advice and recommendations, he
discarded them. He then has gone to Russia and
working some low-profile jobs nowadays. I hope, he will
apply for bachelor's degree after his arrival. i have
always wanted my intimate friends to achieve and work
in high-profile lucrative posts in big name companies in
Uzbekistan.
A competition you would like to participate.
To be honest, since government officials of Uzbekistan
have been allocating their attention and budget to
identify well-rounded and smart adolescent students.
There is a competition called "Ibrat Camp" which is
under the stewardship and budget of Youth Agency, this
126
competition has been held in summer for the last two
years.
So who can engage in with this and what are the
rewards for winners. Any adolescent who is aged 16 to
25 can sign up with it. Luckily, So i am 22, i am eligible.
If i win in this competition, It would be a golden
opportunity to recharge my batteries through putting
all stress-induced thoughts to one side after finishing
gruelling and rigorous years at university
I have to pass 2 stages with decent results to get a
triumph.
The former stage is that the judges will check my
potential in foreign languages, for this i am expected to
solve tests in English and find 35 out of 40.
The latter stage is that I will write an optimal essay for
some topics on question paper.
127
I must admit as well that the competition is transparent
and select the smartest applicants only, by taking into
account these calculations, i ought to be ready enough.
Once i have passed successfully, i will be sent to a
paradise camp located in stunningly beautiful
mountainous area for free for a couple of weeks.
Something you do to keep fit
In general, i had a quite energetic characteristic, i was
walking more than 10 km every day last year.
128
However, over the last months, i have perceived that
my family and i have been occupying in sedentary
lifestyle.
By taking into account these calculations,My father has
recently invested a quite large amount of money to an
establishment of a new well-equipped gym in the
basement of our house.
Initially, this new brand gym was the first one in the
history of our family. Since then,Before gathering for
breakfast, we tend to do some warm up exercise in our
mini gym together.
It is really amazing and enjoyable to perform exercise
with my father and siblings.
whenever i am exhausted by being snowed under with
paperwork and assignments, I often find myself on the
treadmill and listening to music which are on the top
list of my favourites.
129
This paradise place paves the way to make me active
both mentally and physically.
In conclusion, in a short period of time, we all have
sensed sharp positive increase in our health and body.
My father was plaguing with insomnia, however after
the introduction of the gym, he has been sleeping very
well.
Hard decision that you made
To be brutally frank, i usually address the senior
members of my family when i face loads of dilemma
because they have sheer valuable real life experience.
Usually, I gather my merciful parents and grandparents
around the table after that i start to explain the
situation thoroughly.
130
The last one was also not exception,2 years ago, it was
the first time that i was caught in dilemma during my
teenager life.
I had been working in Nestlé Uzbekistan Company as a
packaging operator for 6 months, despite i was novice
there, it was lucrative and enviable job position among
my peers.
On the other hand, i was accepted to prestigious
university which president of Uzbekistan graduated.
In that case, i had to choose either working life or
student life. I was ignorant what to do, because my
salary and post in Nestlé were really satisfactory and i
was assisting my family financially as well through my
job
131
As usual, i told father in order to pick his brain in
dealing with this issue. He kindly recommended that:
i must further my tertiary education at university since
it is mostly likely that job market is really competitive
nowadays, it recruits only those who are professional
with the university diploma.
After that, i gave up my lucrative job in the company,
and i have been studying at university for the last 2
years. Maybe, i have some intentions that i may work
there again in the future.
A time when you were very busy
As a principle of my student life, i tend to occupy myself
with essential tasks on an ongoing basis, except for
weekends of [Link] speaking, i am virtually
pressed for time always.
132
In retrospective, when i was graduating my last, senior
year at high school, i had been snowed under with
assignments and other essential tasks simultaneously.
There were some underlying causes for these bustling
period of my life.
In general, i could describe myself at that point
"running in a hamster wheel"
Firstly, 2 distinctive types of grueling and rigorous
exams were waiting for me, as you know, the former
one was school graduation exams, and the latter one
was university entry exams. Unfortunately, i had to
make preparations for all of them simultaneously.
The second reason, i can say that, since i applied for
foreign and national university, There was a bag of
documentational work. Despite the application process
was performed online, i was flooded with paperwork.
133
The least but not least, my all classmates and i spend
almost a week in a photo studio to save our sweet and
instant recollections of school years into photo album.
These periods were hectic at that time
In conclusion, i hardly managed to do all of them on
time. The most noteworthy point is that i was accepted
to prestigious national university successfully in the
process.
A time when you helped a child
Since my childhood, my merciful parents have been
teaching me and my siblings the importance of being
helpful and kind for people around us.
134
Maybe this is the reason, i have accepted that "being
beneficial individual for the society" as a principle of my
life.
In retrospective, last year, i used to participate in
swimming lessons to follow healthy lifestyle in our local
swimming pool. One day, my little "10 years old"
brother told me that he was also eager to learn how to
swimm, i recalled my childhood when i was at his age.
We then started to go swimming pool together.
Initially, i thought it would be a piece of cake for me to
teach swimming skills since we adolescents do it
automatically without thinking about it for a second.
During the first lessons, he observed and watched me,
and i explained some tricks of swimming. On the other
hand, after some lessons, i thought he was more than
ready to swim by himself without any assistant hands.
But, In reality, it wasn't.
135
After that, i learned that before all, i myself obviously
have to learn how to teach a child.
Finally, i made a ruling to address to the swimming pool
tutor. Since the tutor had sheer valuable experience in
teaching, my brother acquired all the skills and tricks
readily, even myself learned a lot in terms of how to
breath and follow safety rules in the pool.
In conclusion, it was a golden opportunity for Mansur
and me as well to acquire swimming skills in-depth
Describe an occasion when someone someone gave you
positive suggestion about your work.
136
When i am caught in dilemma, i will definitely address
to senior members of my family, because they have
sheer valuable experience in this life
Regretfully, Up until recent years despite i was a 20 year
old adolescent, i had abdicated some responsibilities, i
had been off the hook. For my some bad habits, i had
been under the censure of my family and university
professors as well.
In retrospective, one day i found an incredible intention
and passion to start anew fresh through being punctual.
initially, i was ignorant what i supposed to do.
Fortunately, my university professor kindly
recommended me to make and follow daily routines in
order to achieve optimal academic performance and do
my essential tasks on time, and over time.
Thanks to his recommendations, i started to follow
routines rigidly step by step.
137
In a short period of time, i sensed a sharp positive
results in my daily [Link] recommendation was a real
life changing experience in my adolescent life.
In conclusion, i can say that, it is absolutely
true,following daily routines is not solely beneficial
being punctual, but also it is a golden opportunity to
spend our life wisely.
The last but not least, the most worthy of note i should
mention that we spend our life with along our mercifuls
in this world by following rigidly daily routines.
I always take my hat off to my supportive and tactful
professor as a token of appreciation.
A time you used your cellphone to do something
important
138
In this Technological age, we have been facing big flat
multicoloured screens everywhere. It doesn't matter
whether we want or not, they all are always with us.
In retrospect, I graduated last, senior year at school a
couple years back. Since its all was during harsh
pandemic periods, we had to do school graduation
party and other essential tasks online.
Firstly, we had finished rigorous and grueling school
graduation exams online and even we got school
graduation certificates via email. I mean it was e-
version
Secondly, the most worthy of note that i should
mention, since i was applying for both foreign and
national universities, i was snowed under with
paperwork and application documentations in my study
room at home.
139
Without any doubt, my mobile phone was used during
the preparation of documents and checking them
whether they were accurate or not under the eyes of
my teacher, of course via video calls on Skype.
The last but not least, my family could readily make
video calls with my brother who was living and studying
in the USA in these disgusting days.
In conclusion, my phone was a real assistant and
intimate friend in pandemic day's and i think it is
mostly likely that many of us can't live without our
smartphones
Item-object 👇👇👇
13 cue cards
A gift that you would like to give
It is much more likely that the present i would like to
give might be a bit eccentric. But i am convinced, this
gift can make gift-takers overwhelmingly happy
140
So, the gift would be 3 air plane tickets to Tashkent, 2 of
them are devoted for my parents and the third one is
for myself to enjoy with them together.
Yes i know, it would cost a little fortune to come true it
but i have been collecting money to cover all of the
journey expenditures.
Firstly, i would like to reserve a well-equipped room in
Hyatt Regency hotel which is located in the heart of
Tashkent and this luxurious hotel is eminent for its
services and facilities among holidaymakers
On the top list of our itinerary, i would definitely bring
them to large stunningly beautiful public gardens and
leisure centres where they can enjoy thoroughly.
Moreover, we should not miss trendy shopping malls
and clothes outlets, since my mom is fanatic about
clothes.
The least but not least, the night eating out would be
obviously organised in the restaurant called "Nest One".
141
As this restaurant is located on the 50th floor of the
skyscraper, this enchanting evening can add a great deal
of memorable stories to our journey.
In conclusion, this paradise journey tickets would a
great present for my merciful parents.
It is mostly likely that it would be a golden opportunity
for my parents to be far far from the hustle and bustle
of daily life and recharge their batteries...
A rule that you don't like
Actually, i am thoroughly enjoying by studying at my
university, but there is a little bit harsh thing my
university has been forcing us. It is dress code. Students
have to wear the homogeneous uniform.
To certain extent, this is absolutely something which is
restricting student rights, Because in my opinion,
142
adolescents should have their own rights what to wear
or not.
Yes, it is also true that we, cutting edge audience should
not lose the sight of our identity and tradition through
imitating other cultures' way of clothing as well.
According to the reports : the university officials are
making efforts to make all of us to wear the same in
order to retain equality among students who came from
various backgrounds.
However,approximately, majority students
unanimously[yunanimusly] disagree with this internal
rule. We feel as if we are prisoners in this dress code
I am totally embrace the opinion which is university
officials have to allocate much more their attention and
budget to the cultivation of education quality rather
than playing with clothes and uniform.
143
Recently, we have written a complaint letter to the
name of the rector in terms of dealing with this issue.
A piece of clothing you received as a gift
To be perfectly honest, i am fanatic of clothes and i am
hoarder of design label shoes as well. If i see any clothes
on the window shopping, i can't stop myself from
purchasing them.
The previous one was not also exception. It was the last
senior year at high school, as usual i was coming back at
home from school. But when i reached the modern
clothing outlets located next to my neighborhood, i saw
an incredible smart suit with a bow tie on it on the
window display.
Actually it was a product of big name designer, Gucci,. I
made an incredible intention and desire in myself to
wear this suit on the school graduation day in order to
be on the epicenter of attention of the public.
144
On the other hand, Regretfully there was a financial
matter, because this clothing outlet was upscale shop
and targeted for affluent families. I was a little bit
disappointed with the price itself.
After that, days passed. I almost forgot about this smart
apparel.
However, one day, i got up early in the morning, my
mom told me that she had prepared a surprise as a gift
for my school graduation.
Annnnnnndd,
it was really unimaginable morning. I was truly
overwhelmed by the gift.
Can you speculate ?.
The gift was this black suit itself.
I don't know how my mom had known about my desire.
In conclusion, i put on the suit with sewed brown shoes
on the graduation party.
145
For this unforgettable moments and recollections, i am
the most grateful in front of my merciful mom and
sometimes i massage her foot as a token of my
appreciation.
An interesting song special to you
I tend find listening to music as a good outlet for stress
relieving
I would like to describe about the music on my taste
and it takes the top list on my favourites. I have been
listening to energetic and lyric musics by Hamdam
Sobirov over the last couple of years.
The special one that i was totally hooked was about
school. For the first time, i heard it on the radio 2 years
ago, after that i abruptly addressed YouTube to
download it. Despite this song had been posted on
social media sites just a previous day, it was holding a
millions of likes and downloads in a short period of time.
146
Moreover, i was really obsessed with this very touching
song, once i downloaded it and i couldn't stop myself
from listening to it until i learn it by heart.
Since it was during harsh pandemic days, this very
music was a good outlet for home-arressted people
who could release stresses and emotions at that time
Many adolescents, in particular lovers, find very this
song as a full storage of inspiration in my country.
Whenever i am exhausted by becoming snowed under
with paperwork and assignments at university, I can
easily find myself listening to his songs through
escaping to my own little world.
In conclusion, all his songs are quite eclectic, for
example even during long-car journeys, his musics can
give a great deal of energy especially for the driver.
147
A product that you received for free
I can't recollect when it was the last time i got
something for free, apart from birthday presents of
course.
But an incredible one which was life changing was free
education at my current university. I was truly
overwhelmed by this freebie
Before all, A couple of years back, i finished high school.
Since education bodies of Uzbekistan were allocating a
great attention and governmental budget to fund
anyone who could achieve ceiling scores in the
university entry exams.
It was a golden opportunity for me, because academic
tuition fees were insurmountable at those years, in
particular for my family.
148
in the beginning i was ignorant how to gain ceiling
scores in this exam, luckily my school teacher kindly
recommended to take English language courses in my
local area to achieve optimal exam results.
That day came, i entered the exam, initially, i thought
that i couldn't manage to get reasonable ceiling scores,
because numerous smart and genius applicants were
also participating in that exam with me equally.
Finally, can you speculate ? an email come from
admission staff, i can fondly remember that the email
was written like that : Dear Mardon, we kindly inform
you that you can study for free for 4 year course of
study in our university.
149
Nowadays, i am a holder of 100% percent full
scholarship for 4 years.
Something that was broken and repaired in your home
So to be brutally frank, since i have an extended family,
it is much more likely that my noisy little siblings try to
touch and push buttons of every item in our house.
The last incredible traumatic situation was not
exception as well.
In retrospect, last month, our family made a ruling to
organise a big party for 20 year wedding anniversary of
my parents.
As i said, we were preparing the meal table
approximately for over 50 guests. Everything was okay,
until my naughty siblings were in the guest room before
guests arrival. What probably happened was that they
played and pushed all the buttons of Air Conditioner in
the guest room simultaneously.
150
When i entered the room, It was making an awful noise
and the red light was flashing. Moreover All my little
criminal siblings had already escaped, i couldn't find any
of them.
Since it was sunny hot summer days, we were supposed
to fix the air conditioner, because the room
temperature would get unimaginable hot without it and
guests would sense harsh situation.
Initially, i tried to fix it by myself, it was no avail. I lost
my temper and started to swearing at it Secondly, i
downloaded the instruction manual and check the
trouble section. It recommended unplugging it and then
switching on again and re-setting it.
Fortunately, it began working hardly and the room got
cool enough until the arrival of guests .
151
The following day, anyway, we had to call the master
from local garage to fix and make it work well again.
Something you lost and then got it back.
In retrospect, there was one case, so when i was
studying at secondary school, i brought a new brand
phone to the classroom in order to boast it for my
friends. It was a present by my father
After lunch, Once we finished playing basketball in the
school gym, i returned home. I then wanted to connect
it to charger, however i couldn't find my new phone.
Initially, i didn't worry at all. I thought it was staying
somewhere in pockets, I started to sift through all
pockets of uniform and schoolbag. It was no avail, after
that i called my phone through domestic-phone, what i
heard was that "the phone you dialled is not available
at the moment".
152
Everything began at this point. I was trembling and i
totally lost my mind because it was a present just a day
before.
I was ignorant what i supposed to do and how i could
tell about it to my father.
Firstly, i phoned city "Lost Property Agency", the
officials said that any model like that of my phone was
not brought.
Since i was far more younger at that time, i was frantic
and petrified. That day, i had slept early till my father's
arrival from work. Even the following day, i went to my
school at dawn before my father got up lest be under
the censure of my father
Maybe, I speculate that the most worrying night i had
ever had was this one,
153
What i did then ? I addressed to my sports teacher at
school.
Huuh, fortunately, he told me that he found a phone in
the changing room. Then the teacher asked me to name
at least 5 people on the contact list of my phone to
make sure it was mine. Of course i did it.
This frantic and harsh experience gave me its lesson not
to be lenient. It reminded me to be more watchful
everywhere, in particular in crowded areas in my city.
Something that surprised you
To bw brutally frank i have been learning languages as
long as I can remember.
154
I would like to share an incredible thing which was life
changing was free education at my current university. I
was truly overwhelmed by this freebie
Before all, a couple of years back, i finished high school.
Since education bodies of Uzbekistan were allocating a
great attention and governmental budget to fund
anyone who could achieve ceiling scores in the
university entry exams.
It was a golden opportunity for me, because academic
tuition fees were insurmountable at those years, in
particular for my family.
At the beginning i was ignorant how to gain ceiling
scores in this exam, luckily my school teacher kindly
recommended to take English language courses in my
local area to achieve optimal exam results.
155
That day came, i entered the exam, initially, i thought
that i couldn't manage to get reasonable ceiling scores,
because numerous smart and genius applicants were
also participating in that exam with me equally.
Finally, can you speculate ?
an email come from admission staff, i can fondly
remember that the email was written like that : Dear
Mardon, we kindly inform you that you can study for
free for 4 year course of study in our university.
Nowadays, i am a holder of 100% percent full
scholarship for 4 years.
Something you can't live without
156
To be brutally frank, i don't have a materialistic
individuality, However, what I can't imagine my life
without is my energy-efficient scooter.
I ride my scooter every single day in order to commute
to and from university. Even i hava named it with
"Schumacher" [shumake] name.
I have been using it for the last couple of years. My
father gave it to me on my 18th birthday as a present.
If i portray my Schumacher, it was manufactured by big
name globaliser car manufacturer "Tesla" company. It is
really an eco-friendly friend of mine, because it runs for
low-supply of battery and on top of this, virtually, it can
run for a week with full storage of battery. I guess, it is
mostly likely that i can describe myself as an individual
who is contributing to the reduction of carbon footprint
in this age.
157
My Tesla scooter is smart since it can map all the streets
of my city and can recommend the street with the least
standstill traffic congestion.
I myself possess only this sort of transportation system
out of my university.
One thing that I have to mention is that i should take
driving licence for my scooter in the immediate future.
In conclusion, it has been working only for my
advantage because it not solely saving my money but
also it is doing to save my precious student time. It is
really convenient to use.
This is one item which has its own position in my
adolescent life.
A product from you area
158
Since my country holds its long history in all aspects of
our culture. It has a special pre-historic way of cooking
which has been inherited from our ancestors.
I would like to give informatio about certain type of
food called "Bahodirlar Bótqasi"
Bahodirlar Bótqasi is actually manufactured by a
national food company called Jesco which has been
manufacturing dairy products from cereals to butter. I
speculate, it has been working approximately for the
last 50 years.
The product called "Bahodirlar Bótqasi" which mainly
contains cereals that is high in calories and nutritional
value, it is on the top list of favourites among local
dwellers because this nutritional cereal is targeted for
both seniors and juniors.
159
Despite it recommends a quite range of mouth-
watering foods, I usually take advantage of purchasing
this cereals of this domestic company since all my
family members shares the same taste in this food. It is
really yummy and delicious food.
My mom prepares this full of storage vitamin food for
breakfast on a daily basis. Maybe this is the reason that
i feel quite energetic and enthusiastic during the day.
We can also admit that it is not solely nutritious but
also this "Bahodirlar Bótqasi" is quite affordable for all
types of families in markets.
Because of its mouth-watering taste, tourists visited to
my homeland are also choosing from the food menu of
local national restaurants.
It is mostly likely that preparing or purchasing this meal
in a large family assemblies and national holidays is a
cultural and national value in Uzbekistan
160
In conclusion, maybe Bahodirlar Bótqasi has already
changed into the symbol of our national cuisine and our
Uzbek culture.
Something you do to keep yourself concentrated
To be brutally frank, multicoloured screens are my
enemy without these screens, it would be
straightforward for me to collect all my thoughts.
Before all, as a student, i have already realized how
100% full concentration is paramount to reach optimal
productivity in academic performance
Regretfully, since i have already addicted to Instant
Messaging, i can't stop myself from checking my
messengers in every 5 minutes,
By taking into account these calculations, when i am
snowed under with preparation materials for upcoming
grueling and rigorous exams of my university, this is
161
crucial for me to leave my phone in another room at
home, and then i can easily allocate all my attention to
my essential tasks in the free-phone atmosphere
Moreover, I rarely do my essential workloads in the
bedroom because it is mostly likely that when i see any
pillows or a sleeping bed in the room where i am in, i
will definitely might sleep during the crucial periods.
Finally, It might seem a bit strange, but i definitely do
this , i absolutely turn off my phone a week before any
exams and turn on it after the exam to be well-
prepared
In conclusion, it seems that i have sensed a great sharp
positive increase in my academic results for the last
couple of years with the help of these aforementioned
concentration mediums.
An invention that changed the world for the better
162
Over the last decades, a revolution has occurred in the
way of life that we are living because Globaliser big
name companies are manufacturing gadgets that are
definitely making our life incredibly easier.
I guess, it is mostly likely that the great invention in this
Technological age is energy-efficient scooters by Tesla
company.
Firstly,They have been allowing us to reach our
destination in easy and fast way.
Secondly, Tesla scooters are much more affordable for
all members of society since they can be bought by any
individual who is paid moderate salary.
163
For example in the past, people who commuted to work
and study on a daily basis used to wait for public
transports for long hours in bus stops.
On the other hand, it has already changed, today they
don't have to get onto crowded and slow buses and
trains to commute instead they readily get onto their
own scooter without any waitings.
The most noteworthy point that i should mention, Tesla
scooters are truly smart because they are capable to
map all the streets of your local area and in rush hours
they can recommend the streets with the least
standstill traffic congestions to go fast.
In conclusion, the least but not least, they are not
solely fruitful for individuals, but also they can be
regarded as mainstream underlying contributers to
reduce carbon footprint in a great deal in this age in
contrast with cars or airplanes
164
Something you do to save your time
Let me share information about life changing
experience in my early student life
Despite i was 20 years old adolescent and studying at
university, i was usually a little bit lenient and i was
plaguing with time management to deadlines, for all of
these bad habits, i had been under the censure of my
family and university professors.
However, one day i found an incredible intention and
passion in myself to spend my time wisely.
On the other hand, i was ignorant what i supposed to
[Link] the meantime, Fortunately, my professor kindly
recommended me to make and follow daily routines on
a daily basis to achieve optimal productivity in time
management
165
Thanks to my professors recommendation, in a short
period of time, started to sense a sharp positive
increase in my academic performance.
Nowadays, i have punctual individuality in order to
finish all my priorities on my to-do list.
In conclusion, i can say that, making and following daily,
weekly even yearly routines have been assisting me to
finish my priorities in advance. And it has also been
giving a golden opportunity for me to spend my
adolescent life in an efficient and smart way.
Last but not least, I strongly recommend for my peers
who are plaguing from time management to do daily
routines.
