Describe a game you enjoyed playing when you were younger
One game I really enjoyed playing when I was younger was football, and it
was a huge part of my daily routine at that time. I used to play it with my
neighborhood friends almost every afternoon after school. As soon as we finished
our classes, we would quickly get together and head to a small open space near our
houses. It wasn’t a proper football field — in fact, it was just a simple area with
uneven ground — but for us, it was more than enough.
We didn’t have professional equipment either. Most of the time, we used a
basic ball, and sometimes we even improvised goalposts using stones or school bags.
Despite these limitations, we were always full of energy and excitement. We would
divide into teams, argue a little about the rules, and then start playing for hours.
What made this game particularly enjoyable was the sense of freedom and
teamwork. It wasn’t just about winning or losing — it was about having fun and
being fully present in the moment. Every match felt intense and competitive, even
though it was just a casual game among friends. We would celebrate goals as if we
were professional players, which made the experience even more memorable.
Another reason I enjoyed it so much was that it helped me stay physically
active and forget about any stress from school. It was a perfect way to clear my mind
and recharge after a long day. At the same time, it strengthened my friendships
because we spent so much time together.
Looking back, I realize that those moments were some of the most meaningful
parts of my childhood. The game itself was simple, but the emotions, the laughter,
and the connections we built made it truly special. Even now, whenever I think about
it, I feel a sense of nostalgia and happiness.

PART 3
1. What kinds of games do children play in Uzbekistan?
Well, I’d say children in Uzbekistan play a mix of both traditional and modern
games. For example, a lot of kids still play outdoor games like football or simple
group games with their friends.
But at the same time, more and more children are getting into mobile and video
games, mainly because they’re easy to access and quite entertaining. So yeah, it’s
kind of a combination of both.
2. What games do young children usually play?
Young children usually prefer simple and fun games, like hide-and-seek or running
games. These kinds of games are easy to understand, and they don’t require any
special skills.
Also, they’re quite interactive, so kids can play together and enjoy themselves. At
that age, it’s more about having fun than actually competing.

3. Why do children’s preferences in games change as they get older?
I think it’s mainly because they grow and their interests change. As they get older,
they start looking for something more challenging or exciting.
For example, younger kids enjoy simple games, but teenagers usually prefer
competitive or even online games. Another reason could be peer influence — they
tend to follow what their friends are playing.
4. Is it good to have competition between businesses? Who benefits from it?
Yes, I think competition is definitely a good thing. It pushes companies to improve
their products and offer better services.
In most cases, customers benefit the most because they get better quality and
sometimes lower prices. So overall, it creates a win-win situation.
5. Do you think traditional games are disappearing? Why?
Yeah, to some extent, I think they are. Nowadays, many children prefer digital
games because they’re more engaging and easier to access.
Also, people spend more time indoors these days, so there’s less chance to play
traditional outdoor games. But I don’t think they’ll disappear completely — they’re
still part of the culture
