a) Посмотрите на фотографию ратуши. Знаете ли вы, какой белорусский город изображен на фото? Что вы знаете о нем?

b) Прочитайте текст о Витебске. Какие факты были для вас наиболее удивительны?
Витебск нужно посетить, потому что это один из наиболее романтических и красивых городов в Беларуси. Он находится на северо-востоке Беларуси, в живописном месте на берегах трех рек: Западной Двины, Витьбы и Лучесы. Витебск впервые был упомянут в хрониках в 1021 г., но есть легенда о том, что его основала киевская княгиня Ольга в 974 г. У Витебска длинная история. Он был важной крепостью во времена Великого Княжества Литовского (ВКЛ) в 16 — м и 17 — м веках. Он стал частью России в 1772 г.
Витебск много пострадал во времена Второй мировой войны. Он был разрушен фашистами, и из 170 000 человек населения выжили очень немногие.
После войны Витебск был восстановлен, и сегодня это важный город в Республике Беларусь, с большим количеством фабрик и заводов, школ и университетов, больниц, памятников, выставочных и фитнес-центров, театров и музеев. Здесь живут и работают более 350 000 людей. Сегодня в Витебске больше 10 речных мостов. Улица Космонавтов — это центральная улица в Витебске, и большая часть кафе, универмагов и многоэтажных зданий расположена на ней.
Марк Шагал, всемирно известный художник, родился в Витебске. Он горячо любил свой родной город и часто изображал его на своих картинах. . Известный русский художник Илья Репин в конце 19 — го века жил и работал рядом с Витебском на протяжении нескольких лет. Некоторые его работы есть в Витебском художественном музее.
В Витебске много достопримечательностей. Среди них Витебский художественный музей, Музей Шагала и Летний Амфитеатр, где проводится фестиваль “Славянский базар”. Прогуляйтесь по улицам Витебска и почувствуйте атмосферу этого города — жемчужины в короне Беларуси.
