Irmgard

Sie wohnt am Stadtrand von Schweinfurt in einer ruhigen Straße mit Mietshäusern mit kleinen Vorgärten. Hier ist sie groß geworden, die 19-jährige Irmgard Spahn, jüngstes von fünf Kindern, der Vater Arbeiter bei der Stadtverwaltung, die Mutter gelernte Friseurin. Geld war immer knapp, die 85-Quadratmeter-Wohnung immer zu eng. Trotzdem hat ihnen nie etwas gefehlt. Seit zwei Jahren verdient die Tochter Irmgard selbst, wenn auch nicht viel: Sie ist Bürolehrling1. Von 500 Euro, die sie ausbezahlt bekommt, gibt sie hundert Euro zu Hause ab und hundert trägt sie zur Sparkasse. Die restlichen 300 gibt sie aus. „Ich kaufe viel und gern“, sagt Irmgard, „manchmal viel zu viel“. Gemeint sind Kleider.

In die Schule ist sie sehr gern gegangen. Erstmals war sie vom Unterricht begeistert, da sie sehr gute Lehrer hatte. Außerdem kam sie mit ihren Mitschülern ausgezeichnet zurecht. In der siebten Klasse Realschule hat der Direktor ihre Mutter kommen lassen und ihr vorgeschlagen, dass Irmgard die Schule wechselt und das Abitur macht. Aber Irmgard wollte einfach nicht weg, ist in der Realschule geblieben und hat nur die mittlere Reife gemacht. Sie wäre dann gerne noch auf eine Sprachenschule gegangen, aber das war vom Finanziellen her nicht möglich, weil ihr Bruder auch studierte. Also hat sie sich bei verschiedenen Firmen in Schweinfurt um eine Lehrstelle beworben, und als dann von einer Zahnradfabrik die Zusage kam, hat sie sofort unterschrieben. Die­sen Sommer beendet sie ihre Ausbildung als Sekretärin und wird dann von der Firma angestellt2, was heutzutage nicht selbstverständlich ist. Im Moment nimmt sie noch an einem Englischkurs teil, damit sie in einer Abteilung arbeiten kann, wo Fremdsprachen benötigt werden.

Ihre Freizeit verbringt sie oft in einer Clique. Das sind acht junge Leute, gemischt Jungen und Mädchen. Irmgard ist die Jüngste, der Älteste ist 24.

Über ihre Zukunft hat sich Irmgard noch wenig Gedanken gemacht. Eigentlich möchte sie noch nicht weg von zu Hause. Ihr gefällt es in ihrer Familie. So schnell wird sie nicht ausziehen. Wenn sie beruflich mal ins Ausland könnte — die Zahnradfabrik hat in Frankreich und in England Niederlassungen3 — dann würde sie schauen, dass sie nicht gar so weit wegkommt. Damit sie öfter so mal nach Hause fahren kann.

MASS MEDIA

Like to say that throughout the history people understood that knowledge is power. That’s why people have always been eager to learn. The main source of information for millions of people is mass media. Mass media includes newspapers and magazines, radio and television.

Newspapers and magazines are the oldest and most widespread of the mass media. There are different national and local papers, dailies, weeklies and monthlies. They satisfy different interests and tastes.

Many people still prefer the radio. It’s good to listen to the radio in a car, or in the open air, or when you do something about the house. Listeners can tune into all kinds of stations: pop or classical music, news, sport or foreign radio stations. Besides, radio has fresher news than newspapers. They are informed every half hour.

Nobody will deny that television is the most popular type of mass media. It gives the opportunity to see the best actors, sport matches, to meet famous people. We learn about different countries, people and their customs, traditions, achievements and problems. We watch different talk-shows, TV-games, concerts, feature films and serials. At the end of my story I’d like to say that nowadays you can be informed even if you live in the Sahara desert.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

  Science is creating wonders almost every day. What was once fantasy is now a reality thanks to the recent achievements of scientists.

 I think Electric engineering is the most powerful and exiting science nowadays. I am fond of electric engineering because it influences our lives and every day enters our flats. Picture-tube televisions have turned into LCDs  and Plasma. Computers have given away to laptops and notebooks. The mobiles have turned into a wonderful island of entertainment and communication. Internet has brought the impossible within means. Web has made online education possible through its territories. Cloning, space trips and robots are the miracles of the modern times. All these achievements are very important for us, especially for me, because I can’t live without my computer, MP3 and mobile.

The world knows the names of many great scientists: mathematicians, physicists, biologists, chemists, historians etc. As for me I think Newton was a really great scientist. He is considered the father of modern mathematics: he discovered the law of motion and the universal law of gravitation.

In conclusion I should say that our life is impossible without science and technology.

YOUTH AND SOCIETY

I think that the teenage years are the most wonderful years in our life. At this age we start a new adult life. We get more and more freedom. We can go to parties, discos, cafes, etc. We can have a lot of fun with our friends. We join together in a group to dance, read books, become members of youth organizations or representatives of subculture.

There are a lot of organizations, groups and movements, so young people can find a group or a movement that will suit their interests. The biggest youth organization in Belarus is the BRSM, which include 500,000 young people from 14 till 31. The main aim of this organization is to promote patriotism, involve young people in useful public activities.

Today many young people participate in exchange programmes organized either by schools or youth organizations.

Some young people set up environmental groups and join charity projects. I strongly believe that the initiative of young people should be supported by teachers, schools parents and other organizations.

It’s not easy for a teenager to find their own way of life still being involved in the social life of the country. At the end of my story I’d like to say that the real life is here in the family, in the country we live in.

  I.  1. Read the newspaper opinion column and say in 2—3 sentences what it is about.

Are you proud of being Belarusian?

I am Belarusian because my parents who gave me life and brought me up are Belarusian. And what if I were born in a different country on a different continent? In my opinion, a sense of pride in your country, a sense of belonging to a particular nation develops in a person with time. Therefore at my age, by the way I am 18, I can say quite positively, that I am proud to live in Belarus.

The real treasure of Belarus is its wonderful nature. The country has hundreds of wild forests, rolling hills, green valleys, sweet­scented meadows and golden fields. Beloveshzkaya Pushcha is the only place where you can meet mighty European bison in the wild. Belarus is also famous for its clear lakes and ribbon­like rivers, that’s why it’s called a blue­eyed one. The resorts of lakes Naroch and Braslav are open all year round and let tourists experience the unforgettable peaceful atmosphere.

I am proud of the rich heroic history of my country and its people. Although for many centuries we were part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania¹, the Polish­Lithuanian Commonwelth² and then the Russian Empire³ we have managed to stay united and haven’t lost our uniqueness. Many foreigners admit that our people are extremely sociable, hospitable, and generous and we are welcoming with visitors. We are also described as resourceful and peaceful. When socializing, Belarusians are open, warm­hearted, fun­loving, humorous and outgoing in spite of all the difficulties they face in their life.

Of course I’m proud of our national holidays and traditions, especially those which are deep­rooted and typical of our nation such as Kalyady, Maslenitsa, Dazhynki. They are unique and make us stand out. Besides, they are of particular interest for tourists because they reflect our culture.

In conclusion, I’d like to say that I’m proud of my country and its people. Each time I go abroad I tell foreigners about our great past and achievements. Each time I leave the country I want to come back again, because I miss it. If I were a talented painter, I would start drawing pictures with its beautiful landscapes; if I could compose verses, I would write lyric poems about it. Belarus is the place where my heart will always belong to!

UNESCO World Heritage¹ List  

Belarus joined UNESCO in 1954. For many years, Belarus has been building up fruitful and dynamic relations with international organizations. Belarus programme of UNESCO activities includes numerous interesting projects in the fields of education, science, information, communications, and, of course, culture. In October 1988, Belarus joined the Convention on the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Today four Belarusian sites have already been included into the UNESCO World Heritage List.

In 1992, the Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park, a natural heritage object and a unique European forest reserve which has been protected since the 14th century, was the first one to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In 2000, the Mir Castle Complex, which was built at the beginning of the 16th century, was also added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The successful combination of Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance architecture² makes Mir Castle one of Europe’s most impressive castles. In 2005, two more sites were included into the UNESCO World Heritage List. They are the Architectural, Residential and Cultural Complex of the Radziwills in Nesvizh and the Struve Geodetic Arc points³.

For centuries the Nesvizh Palace used to be the residence of the Radziwills, one of the richest families in Europe. Today the National Historical and Cultural Museum­Reserve Nesvizh is a wonderfully restored castle, which is visited by hundreds of tourists from all parts of the world. No wonder, it has become a landmark of Belarus.

The Struve Arc is a world famous construction. The same sorts of points are in ten countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova, all together 265 points. According to the historical data, there were 31 geodesic points in Belarus, and only 19 survived.

Belarus is going to propose to add Independence Avenue in Minsk for inclusion into the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Socialist Postwar Architecture in Central and Eastern Europe.
