Traditions of Belarus
Just like any other country in the world Belarus has its own customs and traditions.
Although most Belarusians follow the traditions of Christianity, a lot in their culture originated from pagan beliefs. For example, in the Belarusian countryside, the religious holidays of Christmas and Epiphany are fused with pagan “Kalyady” rituals. From late December into January, groups of villagers dress up in costumes and go house-to-house singing traditional “kalyadki” songs, for which they are rewarded with treats.
Kupalle is another example of a celebration with pagan roots. On the night of the 6th of July girls pick flowers, twine them into a wreath and throw their wreaths into rivers as a method of fortune telling. People stay up all night dancing, playing games and jumping over river-side fires.
But traditions are not only holidays. Folk songs, dances, games, fairy tales, legends, riddles, proverbs and sayings — they all reflect the wisdom and life experience of Belarusians. It is great that today if you want to listen to beautiful old Belarusian songs, you needn’t go to the countryside. In recent years, there have appeared a few Belarusian folk music groups that perform traditional music in clubs and at outdoor venues.
One more important part of national culture and traditions is food. Traditional cuisine is an expression of cultural identity. In Belarus there are a lot of traditional dishes. The most popular are draniki (thick potato pancakes), machanka or vereshchaka (sausage and meat dish, a sort of dressing for pancakes), homemade sausages, kalduny, kletski (dumplings), babka (baked grated potato pie).
These are just a few examples of numerous Belarusian traditions. The more you learn about them, the better you get to know Belarus.

Традиции Беларуси
Как и в любой другой стране мира, в Беларуси есть свои обычаи и традиции.
Хотя большинство белорусов следуют традициям христианства, многое в их культуре происходит от языческих верований. Например, в белорусских деревнях религиозные праздники Рождества и Богоявления сливаются с языческими обрядами «Коляды». С конца декабря по январь люди одеваются в костюмы и идут по домам, исполняя традиционные песни-«колядки», за которые получают угощение.
Купалье — еще один пример праздника с языческими корнями. В ночь на 6 июля девушки собирают цветы, плетут венки и бросают их в реки, гадая о своем будущем. Люди проводят эту ночь, танцуя, играя в игры и прыгая через костры на берегу рек.
Но традиции — это не только праздники. Народные песни, танцы, игры, сказки, легенды, загадки, пословицы и поговорки — все они отражают мудрость и жизненный опыт белорусов. Замечательно, что сегодня, если вы хотите послушать красивые старые белорусские песни, вам не нужно ехать в деревню. В последние годы появилось несколько белорусских фолк-групп, которые исполняют традиционную музыку в клубах и на открытых площадках.
Еще одна важная часть национальной культуры и традиций — это еда. Традиционная кухня — это выражение культурной самобытности. В Беларуси много традиционных блюд. Самыми популярными являются драники (толстые картофельные блины), мачанка, или верещака (блюдо из мяса и колбасы, своего рода подлива для блинов), домашние колбасы, колдуны, клецки, бабка (запеченный пирог из тертого картофеля).
Это всего лишь несколько примеров многочисленных белорусских традиций. Чем больше вы узнаете о них, тем лучше вы познакомитесь с Беларусью.
To be honest, I rarely thought about the issue on a computer in my life, and what role it has in my life at all. But this does not prevent me safe to say that the role of the computer, to some extent, a leading. Stated simply, important, very, very much.
I remember a time when I did not have a computer ... My life was sad and pretty - still unoriginal. But it happened!
One sunny day I was given a computer. First, of course, I did not understand what it is and what it eats. But to learn the computer, it took me not too long, and life began to gain momentum. What is there already tell the truth, at that moment I did not have a computer, I was normal, gently girl almost had no friends, and a lot of his personal time stayed in the library. But the change that I had internet.
Since then she has changed me and my life changed radically simple. I've got a lot of friends, I can communicate with their peers from different cities and countries. The computer can give me most of what I need now for my life.
This genius of modern technology I have achieved many things in his life.
Firstly, I was easier to learn. Computer regularly really helps me in getting new knowledge necessary information. I am preparing for lessons, looking for additional literature, without leaving home, write essays, get ready to meaningful competition. Last year, during the quarantine I studied remotely, getting assignments from their teachers.
Secondly, thanks to the computer, I won the regional competition for Journalism in the category "Young Journalist," which was held at Kirovograd State Pedagogical University V.Vinnichenko. In writing his article, "10 or 12 ... All" for "and" against ", which, incidentally, was published in local newspaper" Ukraine-center ", I used information public sites, exchanged views with friends during the interactive dialogue took interview. Now I am able to participate in the school talent contest, and the computer helps me to direct it. Prepared for the contest song. And the words and music I found in your favorite "comp."
Also, when I got my computer, I found for myself a new hobby. Graphic photo editing program Photoshop. My girlfriend in awe of my ability to create "miracles," and all this because of the opportunities computer.
A computer game! It's just a lot of fun and a great advantage: the development of attention, memory and logical thinking. On the screen come alive any child's imagination, the characters of books and fairy tales. But it is also alive and objects of the world, numbers and letters. One of the important features of computer games - training. Therefore, increases intelligence and personality.
We live in a time when the world is so fleeting. All hurry, hurry To keep pace with time to possess information, as one "who owns the information - owns the world." I do wonder. And in order to obtain the necessary knowledge required information, I have trusted aides - books, computer.
Rhetorical question: book or computer? Now many of the older generation is that we had read. But this is not true. We read, we read from the electronic media. And then we become useful to the computer.
Computer! I do not understand how people ever lived without it. The computer in my life - this help system, and entertainment center, and a way of correspondence and communication with friends. Computer - this is our future. Work it teaches us a new way of obtaining and processing information, and the ability to obtain necessary for material and process it quickly accelerates and optimizes the process of thinking, helps not only more but also better rather address new challenges.
The information in the scientific and technological progress is constantly changing. We - generation era Cybernetics constantly need new information, new knowledge, we want to get them at this point immediately. We absorb it like a sponge. And the computer first for us mate.
In this competition prompted me to take part human desire indifferent to the problems of the school: Out staffed computer lab. I want my friends also loved working with computers as I do. For this lesson should be conducted using ICT. I think that participating in this contest will help make my wish.
