Braslav is among the most popular destinations for Belarusians and foreigners. Now, a state programme is being developed to raise the attractiveness of the region to tourists, turning the district centre (home to 10, 000) into a modern European city.

The local tourist industry is to enter a whole new level. At present, there are five tourist bases and two hotels — situated in Braslav and near the town. New facilities are going to be very comfortable. Drivyaty tourist base within the Braslav Lakes National Park, which occupies 70, 000 hectares, is among the most modern and popular destinations. It's soon to be expanded, with new hotels, a spa centre, a cafe and an indoor aqua park.

In the early 16lh century, Duchess Yelena, who was married to Grand Duke Alexander (who ruled over Lithuania and Russia) and actually owned Braslav, founded a monastery on the site. Fragments of this ancient settlement will be restored as part of the Braslav district's tourism development programme.

The ancient Belarusian town has many interesting sporting traditions, including an international fishing contest, which has been gathering hundreds of fishermen from Belarus, Russia and Latvia for the past few years. Sports lovers and those who enjoy the outdoor life are sure to be delighted by the town's new rowing channel, ski-roller track and ski slope, in addition to a sports complex with an ice rink.

The local cinema is to be fully modernized, with new halls opened, while an entertainment complex will be built, offering billiards and bowling. A new shopping centre, with a cafe for children, is also planned, alongside a lake-river museum, with an aquarium.

This wonderful resort town should please tourists with its modernized infrastructure and Braslav district could soon become an international tourist destination. One potential investor is to start construction of a new sanatorium very soon.

State programmes for regional development are already working in the Polesie and Naroch Lake areas.

Согласно правилам гостеприимства

Браслав находится среди самых популярных мест для белорусов и иностранцев. Сейчас разрабатывается государственная программа, чтобы сделать этот район более привлекательным для туристов, превратив районный центр( 10.000 населения) в современный европейский город.

В настоящее время существует 5 туристических баз и 2 гостиницы в Браславе. Древятская туристическая база в национальном парке Браславских озер, который занимает 70.000 гектаров, является одной из самых современных. Вскоре туристический центр пополнится новыми гостиницами, СПА центром, кафе и аквапарком под открытым небом. В начале 16века, Герцогиня Елена, которая была замужем за Великим Герцогом Александром (который руководил Литвой и Россией), и фактически владела Браславом, основала монастырь в этом месте.

Фрагменты этого древнего поселения будут реставрированы, как часть программы развития туризма в Браславском районе.

Древний белорусский город имеет много интересных спортивных традиций, включая международные соревнования по рыбной ловле, которые собирают сотни рыбаков из Белоруссии, России, Латвии. Любители спорта и те, кто наслаждается жизнью на свежем воздухе, несомненно получат удовольствие от новых городских гребных каналов, трека по катанию на роликовых лыжах, лыжного спуска, а также спортивного комплекса и ледового катка.

Местный кинотеатр будет полностью модернизирован с новыми открытыми холлами и развлекательный комплекс будет построен с бильярдом и боулингом. Новый торговый центр с кафе для детей также планируется наряду с музеем, с озерно-речным музеем с аквариумом.

Этот прекрасный курортный город должен удовлетворять туристов своими модернизированными инфраструктурами и Браславский район вскоре может стать международным туристическим местом. Один потенциальный инвестор должен начать вскоре строительство нового санатория.

Государственная программа развития регионов уже работает на Полесье и на озере Нарочь.

Jackie: Hello, I’m Jackie Dalton. Have you ever wanted to do something completely different? Well, one man now lives on his boat. Brian, welcome.

Brian: Hello!

Jackie: How long have you been living on the boat and why did you move there?

Brian: I’ve been down here now for about 12 years. I used to live in London. The family had grown up, the wife had died. I had this big house… and I thought who for? I’m going to go and live in a boat.

Jackie: Are you glad you decided to leave London and live on a boat in Brighton?

Brian: Best decision I’ve ever made.

Jackie: Brian, what can you do on a boat that you can’t do in a house?

Brian: All these boats have got all the comforts that are required for living on board: microwaves, televisions, fridges… If you don’t like your neighbours, you can go to another place. There’s a lot going for living on board. I love everything that’s down here. I love these lovely nights, the lovely sunsets. People pay for this, you know, they ask me silly questions like “ Where do you go for your holiday? ” and I look out here and I look at them and I think: “ Every day is a holiday! ”

Friendship and relationship with friends

Friends play an important role in our life. And although we may take the fact of friendship for granted we often don’t dearly understand how we make friends.

I personally think that friendship means readiness to come to help each other, to give helping hand in trouble and hardships. It is usual foe close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common.

In my opinion it is not necessary to have many friends but to have one true friend is a dream of everybody. “ A good friend is my nearest relation”, the proverb says and it is important for me to have such a devoted friend whom I can rely on and trust everything about myself, all my personal secrets, with whom I can discuss all my problems.

In general life is more interesting and exciting when you have a person with whom you can be sincere, before whom you can think aloud. Friendship is a thing for two.” The way to have a friend is to be one.” I appreciate in our friendship the possibility to exchange opinions on different problems or to discuss different events, books or films or simply to chat about the lyceum affairs or having a cup of coffee.

UNKNOWN ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

Like the great detective Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle also had many wonderful talents. Many people do not know that he wrote many other kinds of books: science fiction, historical adventures, horror stories and stories of the supernatural. He also wrote factual books on history and politics. In everything he did, he showed his incredible creative energy.

Conan Doyle came from an artistic family and he was a natural writer. His father was a talented artist and his mother was a very good story-teller. In his autobiography, Conan Doyle wrote: " The stories that my mother told me when I was a child stand out more powerfully than the real facts of my life."

Conan Doyle went to boarding school when he was nine years old. At school, he entertained his school friends with stories that he had invented. After graduation from Edinburgh University he had his own medical practice in London, but he did not have many patients, so he was not earning a lot of money as a doctor. That's why Conan Doyle made good use of his free time by writing stories. Soon, Conan Doyle began to have his stories published. He now began to understand that writing could provide a better income than medicine.

Conan Doyle was not satisfied with being just a writer of original and entertaining stories. He was also a great man of action. When he was a young man, he sailed as a ship's doctor on voyages to the Arctic and to West Africa. When the Boer War in Africa started, Conan Doyle volunteered to fight. He was not accepted because lie was too old (he was 40). However, he still went to South Africa as a doctor to treat the wounded and the sick. He later wrote a history of the Boer War.

Conan Doyle was determined to do some good in society. He tried to enter Parliament, but he wasn't successful. Conan Doyle was more successful in his work to improve the law system. He worked very hard to help people who had been wrongfully sent to prison.

Conan Doyle did many things in his life, but he will naturally be remembered most as a writer, a creator of Sherlock Holmes.
