Suggested Answer Key

A: Barcelona is my favourite city, so of course I find La Sagrada Familia most impressive. I saw it in person last year and it is breathtaking. It looks nothing like other cathedrals in Europe, which makes it truly unique. What about you? Which building impresses you most? B: I agree that La Sagrada Familia is amazing, but Kazakh yurts really impress me.Yurts are a major part of our culture. In fact, pieces of an ancient shanyrak have been passed down through many generations of my family. These structures make me feel very connected to my nomadic ancestors. In my opinion, La Sagrada Familia is the most impressive of all the buildings discussed. I am particularly impressed by how Antoni Gaudi managed to combine different styles of architecture so well to create this masterpiece. I don’t think Greek, Roman, Baroque and Gothic styles had previously been combined in one structure. I am also impressed by La Sagrada Familia because it is more than just a church. It actually changed people’s ideas about what a cathedral can look like. It is rare to find any structure that can have such an impact.

Suggested Answer Key

The nomadic tribes of central Asia have inhabited yurts for centuries, as they moved several times a year around the steppe. Historically, this sturdy type of tent is connected with the area and evidence suggests that they have been used for thousands of years. Herodotus, the ancient Greek historian described the tent-like homes of the Scythians – a nomadic people that lived near the Black and Caspian Seas around 440 BCE. Nowadays, yurts do not serve their original purpose any more. However, they are inextricably linked with Kazakh culture and for this reason, the shanyrak, the top part of the yurt, is depicted on the flag of the Republic of Kazakhstan and on its official emblem. Also, in 2014, the yurt was included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. According to UNESCO, “the yurt remains a symbol of family and traditional hospitality, fundamental to the identity of the Kazakh and Kyrgyz peoples.” The yurt’s unique architecture is ideal for the nomads’ seasonal migrations in harsh weather conditions. Its hemispherical shape makes it strong enough to resist the strong winds of the steppe.The yurts are covered with felt on the exterior and decorated with carpets on the interior making them adequately heated. The opening at the top ensures that there is circulation of fresh air. It is even more amazing that they can be easily taken apart – it takes 30 minutes to 3 hours – and carried by horses and camels.
