19/Your favorite types of clothing an jewellery

First I would say that I always wear clothes in which I feel comfortable. I don’t like formal style of clothing. Usually I choose casual clothes like jeans, t-shirts, coats, cardigans, jumpers etc for everyday wearing. In summer I can wear dresses in floral patterns, skirts and blouses. I finish my look with some jewellery. I always wear wristwatch, 2 rings made from silver and my charm a piece of amber triangle shape on leather leash. Also sometimes I wear earrings, bracelets.

20/The secrets of looking smart

For smart and attractive look only dressing is not enough. It roots from the basic habits.

Some of the important habits are taking bath daily, combing hairs properly, moisturizing skin, trimmed fingernails, using deodorant but in limited etc comes.

After basic habits next is right dressing. Whatever you wear make sure that outfit is fitting you well. For example if wearing shirt then it should be of right fit.

Be in time wherever you go, don't get lame excuses from others.

Have a smile in your face, that speaks and tells you about more in a positive way.

Be attentive in the work what you do, don’t show the tension in face to others.

Don't give wrong commitments to your seniors, if you can't do then positively say no.

21/ Transport in Belarus

Let’s speak about the system of transport in Belarus on the example of transport in Minsk.

Minsk has an extensive public transport system. Passengers are served by 8 tramway lines, over 70 trolleybus lines, and over 100 bus lines. Trams were the first public transport used in Minsk (since 1892 – the horse-tram, and since 1929 – the electric tram). Public buses have been used in Minsk since 1924, and trolleybuses since 1952.All public transport is operated by Minsktrans, a government-owned and -funded transport not-for-profit company.

Public transport fares are controlled by city's executive committee (city council). Single trip ticket for bus, trolleybus, tramway or metro costs 1300 BYR.

Minsk Metro

Minsk is the only city in Belarus with an underground metro system. Construction of the metro began in 1977, soon after the city reached over a million people, and the first line with 8 stations was opened in 1984. Since then it has expanded into two lines: Moskovskaya and Avtozavodskaya, which are 12.2 and 18.1 km (7.6 and 11.2 mi) long with 11 and 14 stations, respectively. On 7 November 2007, two new stations on the Moskovskaya Line were opened; work continues on a 5.2 km (3.2 mi) extension, with 3 more stations slated to open in 2011.There are plans for a network with three lines totalling (based on present expansion plans) 58.3 km (36.2 mi) of track with 45 stations and 3 train depots. For this to happen the third line should cut the city on a north-south axis crossing the existing two and thus forming a typical Soviet triangle layout; construction of the third line is expected to begin in 2011 and for the first stage to be delivered in late 2010s. Some layout plans speculate on a possible fourth line running from Vyasnyanka to Serabranka micro-rayons.

As of 2007 Minsk metro had 25 stations and 33 km of tracks. Trains use 243 standard Russian metro-cars. On a typical day Minsk metro is used by 800,000 passengers. During peak hours trains run each 2-2.5 minutes. The metro network employs 3,200 staff.

Currently most of the urban transport is being actively renovated and upgraded to modern standards. For instance, all metro stations built since 2001 have passenger lifts from platform to street level, thus enabling the use of the newer stations by disabled passengers.

Railway Transportation

Transport System largely depend on the railway system that connect various parts of the country together as well as links Belarus with adjoining countries of Russia and Poland. Local people as well as tourists like to travel by train. Train in Belarus is the best mode of Transportation for long distance Travel. There are trains to major cities in Russia such as Moscow, Leningrad and Kiev. A vast network of railways connects Belarusian cities of Hrodna and Brest to Polish cities respectively. Railway transportation is always preferred as it takes shorter time and lesser cost to take you to your desired destinations in Belarus.

Airports

Minsk International Airport is located 42 km (26 mi) to the east of the city. It opened in 1982 and the current Train station opened in 1987. It is an international airport with flights to Europe and Middle East.

Minsk-1 opened in 1933 a few kilometres to the south of the historical centre. In 1955 it became an international airport and by 1970 served over 1 million passengers a year.

From 1982 it mainly served domestic routes in Belarus and short-haul routes to Moscow, Kiev and Kaliningrad. Minsk-1 was expected to be closed in 2008 because of the noise pollution in the surrounding residential areas, but in the mid-2010 it is still functioning. The land of the airport is planned to be redeveloped for residential and commercial real estate, currently branded as Minsk-City.
