L The proclamation of independence of the Re­public of Uzbekistan on September 1,1991, will make a landmark in the history of the Republic. On August 31, 1991 Uzbekistan adopted the Resolution "About Procla­mation of state Independence of the Republic of Uzbekistan”.
On the 2nd of March in 1992 the United Nations Organization adopted a resolution on the admission of the Republic of Uzbekistan to its membership.

Shops And Shopping
The face of the towns and villages in Uzbekistan is changing. We see new houses, schools, cinemas and shops in every town. Shops are very important in our life. There are different kinds of shops. Some of them sell bread, others have tea, sugar, coffee, butter, cheese, sausages, meat, fruit. When we want to buy something, we take our shopping-bag and go to a shop. There we can see shop-girls and shop men who sell things.
Many people do their shopping at the market. Farmers sell the vegetables and fruit which they grow themselves there. They sell meat, milk and other things too. Big shops with many departments are called stores. In these stores we can buy almost all we like. In the windows we see all the things which they sell there-food, suits, dresses, coats, boots, shoes, radio and TV sets, and many other things.
When we want to buy clothes we go to a department store. It is a big shop with many depart­ments where you may see shoes, clothes, textiles, linenjewellery.
