“Are you ready? So… will it really happen today?” said the children, about 12 years old, as they stared up the sky. They were waiting for the rain. They lived on the planet Venus, where it rains only once every ten years. During the rest of the time, the temperature stays around +190 ° to 200 °. Because of this, the children had only seen the rain once in their lives – but they could not remember it, since they were only two years old at the time.
“If it rains only once in ten years, does that mean there is no water? Won’t there be drought everywhere?” someone might ask. The answer is no – there is no drought because people get water from underground sources.
Among the children there was a girl named Narya who was different from others. She had moved from Earth to Venus with her parents when she was eight years old. That’s why she was not like the rest of them. While the other kids played noisily, she would sit aside, lost in thought, Deep down she wanted to play with them too, but they never let her join they kept excluding her and treating her unfairly and treating her unfairly. Even now, they had set a trap for her. They locked the poor girl inside a dark, abandoned warehouse.
“Something fell on me – this must be the rain!” said a girl named Nasha. “It fell on me too!” shouted another. “Me too!” the children cried excitedly.
Suddenly, the sky opened up and heavy rain began to pour. The children ran to the garden and happily played under the rain. It lasted only 60 minutes, and after it stopped, they suddenly remembered Narya. They rushed back and opened the warehouse door. Narya was lying unconscious on the ground. They quickly brought her outside, sprinkled water on her face, and helped her regain consciousness. Then they tearfully apologized her.
The poor girl said she wasn’t angry at them: she only wished she could have seen the rain like everyone else. As she said this, she broke into tears. Just then, rain suddenly began to fall again – and this time it didn’t stop for two whole days…

Introduction
Today, the tourism sector is developing rapidly throughout the world. The increase in the number of tourists and the strengthening of cultural and economic ties between countries also increase the demand for qualified specialists in this field. This process is directly related to foreign languages, especially English.
Main part
English is not only a means of communication but also the heart of the modern tourism system. It is known that English is not only an international language but also the native language for half of the world’s population. From this, we can see that English is the most widely spoken language in the world. The main goal of tourism is to provide high-quality services to tourists from different regions. For this reason, it is important and mandatory for tourism industry employees – guides, administrators, transport drivers, restaurant and office workers – to know foreign languages. Because employees who can communicate in a foreign language improve the quality of service, increase the number of tourists, positively affect the country’s reputation, and enhance the overall service quality. Therefore, knowledge of foreign languages – particularly English – ensures the sustainable development of tourism and its competitiveness in the international arena. It is no coincidence that many countries of the world do not recognize English as the “language of international communication.” It should be noted that almost every tourist traveling internationally first asks for help in English.
Advertising banners, websites, brochures, orders, and invitations are often made in English. The reason for this, of course, is that this language has an audience of global speakers. Tour companies with employees with excellent language skills are always among the top positions. And allows you to attract a large audience around the world. After all, tourists primarily pay attention to information in a language they understand.It is vital to have a general understanding of English when referring to routes, safety regulations, evacuation instructions, and providing and requesting medical assistance. The information provided to guests of standard service processes, I mean, they, the definitions – all are in hegemonic languages in order to adapt to international standards. International flights and services at international ports are also conducted in English. If there are no misunderstandings from travelers during the trip, no difficulties related to language, and if tourists are satisfied with the trip, repeat visits will increase.

Additionally, regardless of your field, having a solid knowledge of foreign languages, particularly English, is the key to securing a well-paid, prestigious job with a welcoming atmosphere in the tourism sector. This includes positions in hotels, airlines, travel agencies, and at international meetings and events.
With the help of the English language, it becomes easier to understand other cultures, customs, and values, as well as to establish good relationships with tourists. Knowledge of English not only facilitates communication but also fosters mutual understanding, respect, and cultural exchange between different peoples. This is the main strength of tourism – bringing the peoples of the world closer together. Language serves as a bridge in this process. The majority of today’s global media and Internet platforms operate in English.
This strengthens the role of the English language in introducing national cultures to the world. The publication of English catalogs, guides, and articles about historical monuments, along with the maintenance of YouTube channels and Telegram blogs, serves as the primary focus for promoting cultures. In the process of explaining pilgrimage sites, mausoleums, historical buildings, works of art, museums, and mosques, there are many special concepts. While their correct translation and interpretation in English is important for conveying the true meaning of the culture without distortion, understanding and speaking English makes these processes easier and makes the journey meaningful. The soft power of states is manifested through cultural diplomacy. Foreign tourists get their first impressions of countries through cultural heritage and communication with people.
Conclusion
In the sphere of tourism, the role of foreign languages, including English, is invaluable. Because in this field, there is a high demand for qualified personnel who are fluent in foreign languages. If we want to travel the world, discover new knowledge and places, stay informed about news, we need to learn English. We know that they are the first to tell the world about events in English. Moreover, the Uzbek people don’t say in vain: “A nation that knows a language knows.”
Home
A stately home of decorated lamps
The wall blew of homegrown facts
A limerick of two penced walls
A mark on the wall, a safeguard of rubbles
A thick mossed cottage, a writing on home
Homegrown homesickness around my gaze
The sea shore of shattered lamps a pain in my left bruise
I know not yonder thee a maverick lost canopy
Molten raindrops abound thy skin
The flower grew among starlit bones
It asks for home too
A nihilist pain staking twofold grimace
A soft paced milkywave to land my moonwalled trance.
Bitch, plucked the longest strands and held the roots till smoke rose
Bitch, plucked the longest strands and held the roots till smoke rose
Bitch, burned the fruit of the scalpel, acres of land encompassed in flame
Bitch, bowed before the fire and called it becoming
Bitch, said pain meant progress
Bitch, caught flame in the name of approval
Bitch, praised the fire that undid mirrors and frames
Bitch, spread the ash like makeup, smiled and saluted the heat
Bitch, juggled through the fiery circus rings and wooden splinters
Bitch, aimed and threw fiery plastics at the cool blue marine flag
Bitch, saw the glow, mistook it for freedom
Bitch, still burns like it should
Gabriel Kang is a poet whose work interrogates hunger, inheritance, and the quiet violences that shape intimacy, family, and identity. His poems often braid domestic imagery with moral tension, exploring how love can fracture into consumption, silence, and grief. Through precise lineation and restrained lyricism, his writing resists sentimentality while remaining emotionally direct. Kang’s work is informed by his background in competitive rock climbing and creative writing, disciplines that demand both control and risk. This influence appears formally in his poetry through compression, physical imagery, and an attention to pressure—what the body carries, endures, and gives way to.
His poems frequently examine the cost of survival, particularly within immigrant households, where love and necessity are often indistinguishable. He is currently a student at Ruth Asawa School of the Arts in San Francisco, where his work has been developed through workshops, public readings, and literary analysis of contemporary and canonical poets. His writing engages with themes of violence, care, appetite, and moral inheritance, often using animal and food imagery as recurring motifs to expose power dynamics within relationships.
People are swimming among the garbage into the Ocean
We expect to have a clean atmosphere and be happy
But people are bombing citizens and countries with
Poison
We are taking for environmental health
But we humans
We pollute
We don’t respect our selves
We don’t respect nature
We play God
We create earthquakes
We create rain
We create typhoon
One day Earth
Will say enough
And human will be rejected
For his bad behaviour
Review By poet
Kujtim Hadjari
This poem is a powerful and direct critique of human environmental destruction and self-destructive behavior. It’s not subtle—it’s a cry of anger and warning.The poet argues that our interference is not wise or divine; it’s a dangerous, arrogant disruption of natural systems. The poet, after explaining the danger we have created for our Earth, ends with a prophetic warning. It personifies the Earth as a living entity that will one day reach a breaking point: ”enough.”/”Human will be rejected” – This is the final, devastating consequence. Not just punished, but ”rejected,” like an organ rejects a foreign body or a host rejects a parasite. The implication is that the Earth will cleanse itself of humanity to survive.The poem is an ”eco-apocalyptic warning.” It argues that humanity’s pollution, violence, and arrogant manipulation of nature are not separate issues—they are all symptoms of the same disease: ”a fundamental lack of respect for the living system that sustains us.”The poet believes this path is suicidal. If we continue to act as a destructive, parasitic force, the Earth (through climate catastrophe, ecosystem collapse, or our own poisoned environment) will ultimately make the planet uninhabitable for us. It’s a call to recognize our interconnectedness with nature before it’s too late.In short, we are poisoning our own nest, and if we don’t stop, we will be evicted.The poem is a call for all inhabitants to change their behaviour for our living system.
