Where ily for R ersat Sis Red © Reading 4 Before Readin: Doyyou know stori Rip Van Winkle was a character in a short story by the American writer Washington Irving. In the story, Rip lived in a little town in the Hudson Valley, in New York, in the 1770s, around the time of the American Revolution. Rip went out hunting one day, took a nap under a tree and fell asleep. He woke up 20 years later to find himself a citizen of a brand-new country—the United States of America Similarly,in the movie GoadBye Lenin, Kathrin Sas, an East German woman, who dedicated her life to the perpetuation of Communist Party ideology, slips into a coma just before the fll of the Berlin Wall. When she wakes up eight months later, she is a member ‘of a capitalist society. While she has been “asleep governments have tumbled, barriers have fallen, and a whole new tide of Western goods and values has come flooding eastward to an eagerly awaiting public. Her loving son, Alex, fears that the shock of finding such a radically changed world will lead to a heart attack. So he prepares an elaborate plan to protect her from the trath and to make her believe that the world she lives in now is the same as it used to be. However, the story of Polish railway worker Jan Grzebski, 65, is not from work of fiction, but is a real-life one. Graebski went into a coma after he was hit by a train in 1988. He woke up 19 years later in April 2007, into a world that had transformed itself from a Communist regime where food lines were common to a world of Big Macs and cell phones. “When I went into a coma, there was only tea and vinegar in meat was rationed, and there were long lin there are so many goods in the shops it makes my head spin. What an | me today is that all these people walk around with thei cell phones a never stop complaining. I have nothing to complain about,” said Grzebski hops ars at gas stations, Now At the time of the accident, Grzebskis doctors didnit give him long to live, but they were wrong, He survived thanks to the devoted care of his wife, Gertruda. She refused t ‘moved her husband's body every hour to prevent bed sores. “It was Gertruda that saved me, and T'l never forget it," said Grzebski believe the doctors and Now he’s getting to know his family, which has grown considerably since his accident. His four children are all married and have provided him with 11 grandchildren. 10 Writing Ud 1e major changes t jppened in your country in the 11 Project (3 Listen and Discuss (¢ : x le it jobs the pec the ph YW } Dream / Working with clay is normally When someone says that he or she is a associated with artists, not with immediately comes to your mind: fa white lab the automotive industry.
