9 Read and discuss the quote.
Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else 
tries to light that fire in you, it will burn very briefly.
10 What does ‘award’ mean for you: respect, high 
point in your life, stimulation, encouraging tool, 
activeness.
11 Read the text and make up the best title covering the overall idea of it.
Beeing awarded with “Oltin qalam” (“The 
Golden Pencil”) was one of the most unforgettable 
experiences of my life. I had the opportunity to 
meet many candidates of the competition from 
all over the country. I started working at the local 
newspaper office where I ultimately became 
extremely involved. It has only been 7 years since 
I began working as a newspaper reporter and since 
my involvement, I have developed a strong fervour 
and energy for the objectives promoted by the “Oltin 
qalam” organization. I feel honoured and blessed 
that I was chosen as a semi-finalist of the contest. 
I experienced so much and participated in new 
and exciting activities that have changed my life. I 
had the privilege to compete in the “Oltin qalam” 
competition after becoming a winner. Through 
competition I had the chance to encounter many 
talented youth from across the country and got a 
chance to experience life and culture from their 
perspective. I could’t win in the final competition, 
but I did get a chance to see a clump of celebrities! 
Being a participant of that competition not only
opened my eyes to the obstacles that we, as youth, 
have to overcome, but it demonstrated the obstacles 
that we have in front of us. Also, I was privileged 
to meet and hear many accomplished professionals, 
famous journalists speak about different issues and 
help boost our motivation.
One of the memorable quotations which 
motivated me was Bo Jackson’s. His powerful and 
motivational quotation that “Set your goals high, and 
don’t stop till you get there” still linger in my soul 
and will motivate me for a long time. Winning that 
award was so encouraging and uplifting because it 
not only assured me that my hard work was paying 
off, but it assured me that my work was in alignment 
with organization.
Overall, my week in Tashkent was marvellous. I 
know that the work does not stop here, nor does the 
load lighten. I understand the significance of hard 
work and tenacity demonstrated by those who have 
come before me. It is my duty to take my experience 
to the newspaper and use it to motivate myself.
