2. PARAGRAPH 1
America's Amish communities live a lifestyle that has changed little since the
18th century; but in other respects, they are showing other Americans the way
forward into the twenty-first....
The roadsign is, to say the least, unexpected ; driving through a prosperous
rural part of North America, the last thing you expect to see beside the highway
is a yellow diamond roadsign with a horse and buggy in the middle! Watch out
for horses and buggies on the road? What is this? Do they exercise racehorses
here, or what?
You keep an eye open for horses; for two miles you see nothing, then all of
a sudden, look! Coming towards you on the other side of the road, two black
horse-drawn buggies! As they go by, your surprise turns to disbelief; what's
going on? Are they making a movie about eighteenth century America? The
men and the women in the buggy look like they jumped out of a novel by
Fennimore Cooper. Then, another mile and things get even stranger; beside a
neat-looking farm-house, there is a whole line of buggies. In the door of the
house, half a dozen men in black coats, and with long beards, are talking while
some women dressed in a curiously ancient fashion are sitting on a bench. Is
this 2015 or 1715?
PARAGRAPH 2
You drive on, wondering what has happened to this part of the United
States of America? Have you driven into a time-warp, and without realizing it,
gone back 300 years, or is it the people you've just seen who're stuck in a
time warp?
A quick enquiry at the nearest gas station gives you the answer; you are in
Amish country, and the men and women you have just seen are Amish, part
of a strange religious group that settled in America in the 18th century, and
much of whose lifestyle has changed little since then.
If you had seen the movie "Witness", you would have already known
something about the Amish, how their community is strictly religious and self-
contained, how Amish people do without the essentials of modern-day life such
as electricity and cars, and how they do not mix with people outside of their
own community. It is virtually unheard of for anyone to become an Amish,
who was not born an Amish.

3. This is about all that most Americans know about Amish people, unless, that
is, they actually live near them and come across them in daily life. So who are
they?
PARAGRAPH 3
In brief, the Amish are members of an ultra-protestant religious movement
that first came to America from the upper Rhine valley over three hundred
years ago, and have kept their traditions and lifestyles. They are very law-
abiding citizens, and their community is one in which crime is almost, though
not entirely, inexistent; Amish families live strict lives, following the same code
of morals as their ancestors. In a sense, they are indeed stuck in a time warp.
Yet the most remarkable things to note about the Amish are not their quaint
lifestyles and their home-made clothes, but the expansion of their community,
its efficiency, its social cohesion, and their recent adoption of "green"
technology, including wind-power and solar energy. Although they work the
land using traditional horse-drawn machines, and use no chemical fertilizers,
their agriculture is - interestingly - among the most productive in North
America !
Parrafo 1
La comunidad Americana de los amish vive un estilo de vida que ha cambiado poco desde el
siglo 18; pero en los otros aspectos, ellos están mostrándoles a otros americanos la forma de
seguir adelante en el siglo 21...
La señal de transito es, por decir lo menos, inesperado; conducir a travez de una prospera parte
rural de norte america, la ultima cosa que esperas ver a un lado de la autopista es una señal de
transito amarilla en forma de diamante con un caballo y un coche en el medio! Cuidado con los
caballos y coches en la carretera? Que es esto? Practican ellos carreras de caballos aquí, o que.?
Tu mantienes aquí un ojo abierto por los caballos; por dos millas no ves nada, entonces de
repente, mira! Viniendo hacia ti al otro lado de la carretera, dos coches tirados por caballos
negros! A medida que pasan, tu sorpresa se convierte en incredulidad; que esta pasando? Están
haciendo ellos una película sobre el siglo 18 americano? El hombre y la mujer en el coche lucen

4. como salidos de una novela de Fennimore Cooper. Entonces, otra milla y las cosas se ponen mas
extrañas al lado de una bonita casa de campo, hay una línea completa de coches. En la puerta
de la casa, media docena de hombres en abrigos negros, y con barbas largas, estaban hablando
mientras algunas mujeres vestidas en una curiosa moda antigua estaban sentadas en una
banca, es esto 2015 o 1715?
Párrafo 2
Usted conduce, preguntándose que pasa con esta parte de los estados unidos de america? Haz
conducido in un túnel de tiempo, y sin darte cuenta, has regresado 300 años, o son esas
personas que has visto que estan atrapadas en un túnel de tiempo?
Una pequeña investigación a la gasolinera mas cercana te dara la respuesta, estas en el país
amish, y el hombre y la mujer que has visto son amish, parte del extraño grupo religioso
asentada en los america en el siglo 18, y mucho de cuyo estilo de vida ha cambiado poco desde
entonces.
Si has visto la película “testigo” sabrias algo acerca de los amish, como su comunidad es
estrictamente religiosa y autosuficiente, como los amish hacen sin lo esencial de la vida diaria
moderna como la electricidad y los carros, and como ellos no se mesclan con personas de fuera
de su comunidad, es virtualmente inaudito que alguien se convierta en amish, que no haya
nacido amish.
Eso es todo acerca de lo que la mayoría de americanos conocen acerca de las personas amish,
es decir a menos, que ellos realmente vivan cerca de ellos y se crucen con ellos en la vida diaria,
entonces ¿Quiénes son?
Párrafo 3
En breve, los amish son miembros de un movimiento religioso ultra protestante que primero
vino a america desde lo alto del valle rin hace mas de 300 años, y han mantenido sus tradiciones
y estilos de vida, ellos son ciudadanos muy obedientes de la ley y su comunidad y su comunidad
es una en la cual el crimen es al menos, pienso no totalmente, inexistente; las familias amish
viven una vida estricta, siguiendo el mismo código moral como sus ancentros. En cierto sentido
están realmente atrapados en una deformación del tiempo.
Todavía la cosa mas remarcable a notar sobre los amish no son sus stilos de vida pintorescos y
su ropa casera, pero la expansión de su comunidad, su eficiencia su cohesion social y su reciente
adopción de tecnología “verde”, incluyendo energía eólica y energía solar, aunque ellos trabajan
la tierra usando maquinas tiradas por caballos, y usan fertilizanto sin químicos, su agricultura
esta curiosamente, entre las mas productivas en norte america!
