Belarusian national cuisine

Delicious and warming, modern – day Belarusian cuisine is a mix of two key factors: the people’s relationship with the land and local produce influences from neighbouring countries and migrant settlers.

A traditional dinner consists of two dishes: soup and a main course. Fresh white cheese and various kinds of cold meat ( usually smoked) at least on holidays.

The main vegetables are cabbage and beets, carrots both stewed and boiled ( with the addition of a small amount of milk). The Belarusian khaladnik, a cold borscht made of beets, beet leaves or sorrel and served with sour cream, hard- boiled eggs and boiled potatoes, has been a popular dish.

The main diary products include a kind of fresh white cheese and sour cream which is widely used both in cooking and as a garnish.

BULLYING AGAIN?

Seventeen: What was your experience with bullying in high school?

Audra Mari: One Sunday, I came home and there was a big picture on the door. It was basically making fun of me because I'm tall. Once the girls prepared a slogan to support a football team. The slogan wishing good luck faced the team, but the back of the slogan read " Go Home Mari". And the whole student section saw it. One time during lunch, I was sitting with all my friends, and a girl came up to me and threw a paper lunch bag at me. She said, " You can eat this for lunch, it is for horses."

Seventeen: What was going through your head when all of this was happening?

AM: At first, I tried to keep it in and not tell anyone except for my friends because I thought that it'd finish after the first few weeks, but this happened all year. So finally, I told my mum, I told her everything. She talked to the administration, and they brought the girls in and talked to them about it. The girls were punished. So you just have to bring it to the attention of adults.

Seventeen: In spite of all this, you still managed to make it to the Miss Teen USA competition and win it. How did you find the confidence to go for it? AM: You just have to ignore it and have confidence in yourself. I was a three - sport athlete — hockey, soccer, and volleyball — and I gave them up to do my modelling career.

Seventeen: What's your advice for girls dealing with bullies today?

AM: Stay confident and know that this is not the end of the world, that you are not going to be in high school for the rest of your life. There are mean girls wherever you go, but you don't need to be with them when you get older. You're not in a classroom with them, you're not eating lunch with them, so look past it and know that it's going to end. Looking back, I'd say you just need to focus on what you want to achieve and not let people get in your way or upset you. Also, tell a trusted adult, tell all your friends, tell anyone you can. If you keep it inside, it's just going to eat you.

Опять дразнилки ?

17: Какой у вас опыт в старшей школе с дразнилками.

Одра Мери: Однажды в воскресенье я пришла домой и на двери была большая картина.Естественно, это была насмешка надо мной, потому что я высокая. Однажды девушки приготовили плакат, чтобы поддержать футбольную команду. Плакат желал удачи команде, но сзади было написано: «Иди домой, Мери». Однажды во время ланча я сидела с друзьями, подошла девушка ко мне и бросила мне бумажный пакет от ланча. Она сказала: «Ты можешь это съесть на ланч, это для лошадей.»

17: Что происходило в вашей голове в это время?

ОМ: Сначала я старалась это держать в себе и никому не рассказывать кроме моих друзей, потому что я считала, что это закончится спустя первые несколько недель, но это происходило весь год. Наконец я сказала маме и рассказала ей все, она поговорила с администратором, они вызвали девушек и с ними поговорили об этом. Девушки были наказаны. Поэтому просто надо доводить до внимания взрослых.

17: Несмотря на это, вы еще пытаетесь принять участие в конкурсе Мисс Подросток СШ и победить. Как же вы нашли уверенность, чтобы идти на это?

ОМ: Просто надо проигнорировать это и в себе найти уверенность. Я занималась тремя видами спорта: хоккей, соккер(футбол), волейбол - и я бросила это, чтобы сделать модельную карьеру.

17: Какой вы дадите совет девушкам, над которыми насмехаются сегодня?

ОМ: Оставайтесь уверенными и знайте, что это не конец света, что вы не собираетесь оставаться в старшей школе. Куда бы ты не пришел, есть жалкие девушки, но тебе не надо быть с ними, когда ты взрослеешь. Ты не учишься с ними, ты с ними не кушаешь ланч, поэтому пропусти это и знай, что скоро конец. Оглянись, я бы сказала, вам просто надо сосредоточиться на том, чего вы хотите достичь, и не позволять людям становиться на вашем пути или оскорблять вас. Также расскажи доверенному взрослому, расскажи всем своим друзьям, расскажи любому, кому можешь. Если ты будешь держать всё в себе, это будет тебя съедать.

Maggy: Hey, Alex! I’ve got an idea. I can show you my favourite place in London.

Alex: Sure, Maggy, I’d like to see that, but where is it exactly?

Maggy: Look beyond the people. What do you see?

Alex: Well, there’s a beautiful building over there! It looks like a palace. What

is it?

Maggy: It’s a Buckingham Palace! And all those people are waiting for the Changing of the Guard. It’s 11 o’clock so the ceremony will start soon.

Alex: Does this ceremony take place every day?

Maggy: It’s held daily only from April to August, when there are lots of tourists. But we aren’t going to watch it right now; we are going to the park which is opposite the palace.

Alex: Let me guess. We must be in St. James’s Park now!

Maggy: Good guess! You are right, it’s St. James’s Park, which is a popular place to walk, feed the ducks or watch the pelicans.

Alex: Those people on the lawn seem to be having a picnic. Is it possible to have picnics in London parks?

Maggy: Sure, but you should follow certain rules.

Alex: Okay. What is the magnificient style building opposite the lake?

Maggy: This is St. James’s Palace. And behind it, there is an entertainment area of Picadilly Circus with lots of pubs and cafes. If you like, we can go there later in the evening.

Alex: That’s a wonderful idea! But honestly, I’m starving and wouldn’t mind having a bite right now.

Maggy: Then let’s go to the café and have a snack.

SHAKESPEARE'S PORTRAIT?

A painting has been discovered that experts say is a picture of one of the world's best-known writers, William Shakespeare. He is thought to have written at least 36 plays, which include the world-famous Hamlet, Twelfth Night and Romeo and Juliet. Yet surprisingly little is known about Shakespeare's life, the way he worked, or what he looked like.

Shakespeare was born in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon in England in 1564. He left the town when he was about 20, leaving behind a wife and three children. After this period he worked as an actor and writer of plays in London. In 1594 he helped form a new theatre company and wrote plays for the next 20 years. After this he retired to Stratford-upon-Avon where he died in 1616. He is buried in a local church.

Several portraits exist that are supposed to be those of Shakespeare's. Yet many experts think these paintings are probably pictures of someone else, or were painted at least 100 years after Shakespeare died.

The Shakespeare expert and the owner of the newly-discovered painting say they are 90 % sure it is of William Shakespeare. Alec Cobbe owns the painting. It has been in his family's possession since the early 1700s. They did not know who the person in the painting was. A few years ago Mr Cobbe went to a Shakespeare exhibition and saw a painting of Shakespeare called the Janssen portrait. He was amazed by how similar it was to the painting owned by his family. He took his painting to a Shakespeare expert. Since then it has been dated and X-rayed. They now believe it was painted in 1610, when Shakespeare was 46 years old — six years before he died. Mr Cobbe thinks he could prove the portrait was originally owned by the Earl of Southampton, who supported Shakespeare when he was writing his plays.

Other experts are not so sure whether it really is a portrait of Shakespeare. This, they say, is because there is no proof the Janssen portrait is actually a picture of Shakespeare either!

The author gives some facts about Shakespeare's life. Find this extract and read it aloud.

Why do some people doubt that this is a portrait of Shakespeare?

Портрет Шекспира

Обнаружена картина, на которой, как утверждают эксперты, изображен один из самых известных писателей мира Вильям Шекспир. Он написал по крайнем мере 36 пьес, которые включают «Гамлет.», »12ночь», »Ромео и Джульетта». На удивление мало что известно о жизни Шекспира, о том, как он работал или как он выглядел.

Ш. родился в Стретфорд-на- Эйвоне, в Англии, в 1564 году. Он уехал из города, когда ему было 20, оставив жену и 3 детей. После этого он работал актером и писал пьесы в Лондоне. В 1594 с его помощью был организован новый театр и он писал пьесы следующие 20 лет. После этого он уехал в Стретфорд-на –Эйвоне, где он умер в 1616году. Он похоронен в местной церкви.

Существует несколько портретов, на которых предполагается, изображен Шекспир. Хотя многие эксперты считают, что это, возможно, портреты кого-то другого, или были написаны по крайней мере 100 лет после его смерти.

Эксперт и владелец еще одного открытого портрета говорят, что они на 90% уверены, что это Шекспир. А.Коб является владельцем портрета. Этот портрет является собственностью его семьи с начала 1700 годов. Они не знали, кто изображен на портрете. Несколько лет назад мистер Коб на выставке увидел портрет Шекспира, где было написано Джэнсон. Он был поражен, как он был похож на портрет, который был у них дома.

Он доставил портрет к эксперту. С тех пор у портрета есть дата и он переснят. Они сейчас уверены, что портрет был написан в 1610, когда Шекспиру было 46 лет – за 6 лет до его смерти. Мистер Коб считает, что он смог доказать, что портрет в оригинале принадлежал графу Саусэмптонскому, который поддерживал Шекспира, когда он писал свои пьесы.

Другие эксперты не уверены, действительно ли это портрет Шекспира. Это потому, они говорят, что нет доказательства, что портрет Джэнсенна является на самом деле портретом Шекспира.

Speaker 1: Lots of people believe that travel broadens the mind. A friend of mine went to Cypris and when he came back, he complained that he could not find English food and everything was so foreign! If one travels with that kind of attitude, one never learns anything about other places and people. Today many people travel not in order to learn, but to “ have a good time” and usually on their terms.

Speaker 2: I’ve just got back from a trip to Japan and what I learned by just being there is more than I’ve ever learned on the internet. Talking to some locals, I learned more than school, or internet could teach me. Travel lets you see other people’s lives, cultures, customs and traditions from different parts of the world. Travel educates you and makes you knowledgeable. I think that people who never leave their countries are narrow – minded and ignorant.

Speaker 3: I feel sad for those people who have never traveled outside of their own hometown. There’s a whole world of different cultures to meet out there, ninety – nine per cent of which you can’t have by just sitting in the living room in front of the TV. When you travel to other countries you can see, feel and touch other ways of living. Some places will shock you, others will please you. You will then appreciate your own life and see things in a different way.
