Exercise 2: Read and fill in the blanks.
Nelson Mandela was a famous South African activist and leader. He fought for human rights and was the first black president of South Africa. He inspired people to work towards a better world where all people are treated with respect.
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born on July 18, 1918 in Transkei, South Africa. As a child and young man, he saw how black South Africans were treated poorly by people and the government. Mandela helped start the African Congress Youth League (ACYL), which fought for equal rights for black people, in 1944. Because of his involvement with ACYL, in 1962, he was arrested and sent to prison for life.
During his time in prison, Mandela was treated terribly. However, he never gave up his fight. He wrote letters and gave speeches that inspired people to work for peace and equal rights. He also led a fight for better prison conditions. In 1990, after receiving lots of influence from other countries, South Africa finally released Mandela after twenty-seven years. He immediately began working to establish a new government that would treat all South Africans fairly. In 1994, he became the first black president of South Africa. He served as president for five years. During this time, he worked tirelessly to promote peace among all groups of people in South Africa.
After leaving office in 1999, Mandela spent the rest of his life working to end poverty and raise awareness of HIV/AIDS. He led a simple life and donated a third of his money to the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund.
Nelson Mandela received many awards for his efforts, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. He died on December 5, 2013, at the age of 95. In 2009, the United Nations chose July 18, his birthday, as the Nelson Mandela International Day.
