Erschreckende Zahlen:
USA: Mehr als 50 Schusswaffentote pro Tag

Das Ausmaß an Waffengewalt in den USA ist beispiellos. 2020 wurden im Schnitt mehr als 50 Menschen erschossen - täglich. Auch das Massaker in Texas wird die Situation kaum ändern. In keinem anderen Land auf der Welt gibt es mehr Waffen und mehr Waffengewalt. Amokläufe und Schießereien gehören zum Alltag.

可怕的数字：
美国：每天有超过 50 人死于枪击事件

美国的枪支暴力程度是前所未有的。2020 年，平均每天有 50 多人被枪杀。即使是德克萨斯州的大屠杀也很难改变这种情况。世界上没有其他国家拥有更多的枪支和更多的枪支暴力。暴行和枪击是日常生活的一部分。

У нас в Уральском регионе очень красивая природа. Здесь много лесов, гор, рек и озёр.
В 100 километрах от Екатеринбурга есть уникальный природный парк. Этот парк был создан в 1999 году. Его площадь 12000 гектаров.
Парк называется «Оленьи ручьи». Однажды здесь нашли наскальный рисунок оленя. Поэтому парк назвали «Оленьи ручьи».
Туристы очень любят этот парк. Это удивительное место! Можно весь день гулять по лесу, пересекать реку по мостам, подниматься на скалы, заходить в пещеры. 
Туристам предлагают 5 маршрутов по парку. Самый короткий маршрут – 4 километра, а самый длинный – 18 километров. 
Летом люди плавают по реке на каноэ и сапах. А зимой обычно приезжают сюда, чтобы сходить в русскую баню и сделать шашлыки на свежем воздухе. Если хотите, на территории парка можно остаться на ночь в небольших удобных домиках. 
Еще одно интересное место - пещера древнего человека. Археологи нашли здесь следы присутствия охотников времен мезолита, неолита, энеолита и бронзового века. 
Ангел Единой Надежды – скульптура, которая стоит на скале над рекой Сергой.
Её автор - талантливая художница из Швеции Лена Эдвалл. Такие скульптуры расположены по всему миру. Они дарят людям свет и надежду. Говорят, что если подержать Ангела за крылья, то он исполнит ваше желание.

Короткие истории. 2. Уникальный парк на Урале.

Switzerland is a mountainous country in the center of Europe, roughly the same size as the Netherlands and with a population of around 9 million people. The capital city is Bern, the largest city is Zurich and within those and other cities, several languages are spoken. Switzerland has four official languages: German, French, Italian Romansh. Romansh is a romance language that is traditionally spoken in the southeastern region of Grisons and became an official language in 1996.

The country has long been famed for its neutrality. Sitting out each of the world wars, it has a self-imposed policy that states that they should not become involved in any political or armed conflicts with other nations. In fact, since 1815 Switzerland has not participated in a foreign war. In recent years this neutrality has been questioned due to their close links to Europe, the fact they became a member of the UN in 2002, and that they are the location for the headquarters of many multinational banks and corporations.

Over the past 100 years, Switzerland has gradually become one of the wealthiest countries on earth. This is partly due to the strength gained from their neutral positioning but also periods of prolonged political stability have had an influence. A study commissioned by Credit Suisse in 2020 discovered that 800,000 millionaires live in Switzerland, and in a country of just 9 million that is quite a significant proportion. However, the increased wealth of the country has brought with it hefty living costs, and Switzerland has been described as the most expensive place to live in Europe.

Decreased Productivity: Employees who are not adequately trained may struggle to complete tasks efficiently, leading to lower productivity and missed deadlines.

Increased Errors and Mistakes: Insufficient training can result in errors and mistakes that can negatively impact quality, customer satisfaction, and the organization's reputation.

Lower Morale and Engagement: Employees who feel underprepared may experience frustration and decreased job satisfaction, leading to higher turnover rates and lower employee engagement.

Needs Assessments: Regularly conducting comprehensive assessments to identify training gaps and ensure that training programs are targeted and relevant.
Tailored Training Programs: Developing customized training programs that address specific needs and learning styles, leveraging a variety of delivery methods such as online courses, workshops, and in-person training.
Continuous Learning: Encouraging employees to participate in ongoing learning and development opportunities, such as online courses, conferences, and professional certifications.
