A READING EVENT ON THE THEME “THE BOOK THAT CHANGED MY LIFE”
On 10 November, a spiritual and educational reading event entitled “The Book That Changed My Life” was organised at Secondary School No. 299 in the Shaykhantahur district. The event was initiated by O. Sadikova, F. Ashurova and N. Rahmatova, lecturers at the Department of English Language Teaching Methodology No. 2 of the Second Faculty of English.
The main aim of the event was to foster a reading culture among students, increase their interest in fiction and promote a deeper understanding of the importance of reading in people's lives.

During the event, students spoke about books that had left a lasting impression on them and influenced their worldview and way of thinking. They shared their favourite literary works, personal impressions and the life lessons they had gained from reading.
A question-and-answer session covering books, literary characters and plot details was also held, allowing students to demonstrate their knowledge and express their opinions. The activities helped develop independent thinking, the ability to communicate personal viewpoints freely and interpersonal communication skills.
At the end of the event, certificates were presented to students who had actively participated and demonstrated outstanding knowledge.
This initiative was aimed at strengthening cooperation between the university and the secondary school, inspiring a love of books among the younger generation and encouraging them to make reading a regular habit.
