The major political parties in Germany are working to complete negotiations for a new government. When they finish, Parliament is expected to elect Angela Merkel as the new chancellor. She is a conservative who would be the first woman to lead Germany. Angela Merkel would also be the first leader from the former East Germany.
Her party, the Christian Democratic Union, narrowly won elections last month for the Bundestag, the German Parliament. But it did not receive enough votes for a majority. The Christian Democrats and the Social Democratic Party of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder agreed on Monday to form a coalition.
The next chancellor will face a national unemployment rate of more than 11%. The German economy is the largest in Europe. But economic growth has slowed.
Mr. Schroeder said this week that he would not take part in the new government. He has been chancellor since 1998. Under the coalition agreement, the ministries led by Social Democrats would include the Foreign Ministry. Miz Merkel?Ts party and the allied Christian Social Union would get leadership of the Defense and Economy Ministries, among others.
Political experts say sharing power with her opponents almost surely will limit the ability of Angela Merkel to make changes. For example, she wants to ease laws that protect jobs and help keep labor costs high in Germany. But unions supports the protections.
Miz Merkel also said says she wants to improve relations with the United States. Mr. Schroeder refused *****pport American plans for the invasion of Iraq in 2003. However, Germans do not expect Miz Merkel to want to send troops to Iraq either.
Germany wants a permanent seat on the United Nations (LHQ mà bạn, phải nhiều nước chứ) Security Council. The United States has not shown support for that idea.
Angela Merkel is 51 years old. She was born Angela Kasner in Hamburg, West Germany. Her father was a Lutheran clergyman. He was sent to lead a small church in East Germany whiles (sao thêm s vào đây?) Angela was a baby. So she grew up under Communist rule.
There, she received the doctorate a doctoral degree in physics at the University of Leipzig in 1986. Later she did research in East Berlin. She is married to a chemistry professor, Joachim Sauer. They have no children.
She became active in the Democracy Movement in East Germany in 1989. She joined the Christian Democratic Union about the time East and West Germany reunited in 1990. Voters elected her to Parliament the following year.
She soon became Minister for Women and Young People in the cabinet of Chancellor of Helmut Kohl. Angela Merkel has chaired the Christian Democratic Union since 2000. She has led East its delegation in Parliament since 2002. Her forceful personality often leads to comparisons with the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

còn phải phấn đấu nhiều

Thanks chi Maroon. I think i tend to make mistakes on spelling, this lesson in particular. Besides, when and where a stop, a comma, etc. should be put is also my weakness. I guess I will have to work more on that. Thanks for your great help.
Best, tnminh.
