A.

After half a year in my first job as a reporter in Detroit, I had

a few days off around Christmas. My parents live in a small town
in Georgia, but I decided I couldn’t afford the flight home, so I cal-
led them to say I wouldn’t be home – first time ever in my life.
They were obviously disappointed, but understood my reasons.
On Christmas morning, I woke up to snow and an empty house
rattling with wind and cold, and spent the whole week without
even a pet for comfort. You can imagine what this meant to a ter-
ribly sociable girl from a huge extended family. This was when
I wrote my first short story.

B.

I once took all three children and a new puppy to stay in

a hut in a remote fishing village in Kent. The price was reasona-
ble, but the living conditions below any acceptable standard. Be-
sides, it never stopped raining so the children were unhappy be-
cause they couldn’t make use of their beach toys. And on top of
all that, Jessica ate something and got such bad food poisoning

that she was almost taken to hospital. When I drove home I felt
like returning from a war zone.

C.

The best holiday was the one I feared might be the worst

– a villa in Spain in the middle of nowhere. It had a pool but the
kids were too young to swim and I’d worried about keeping them
entertained. It was a real proof you don’t need overpriced child-
-centred holiday resorts. There was a woman down the road who
kept dogs, cats, chicken and rabbits, and that made them hap-
pier than any theme park ride ever could. We had meals in an old
inn, and I fell in love with their cuisine.

D.

With two young children and three dogs, planning a holi-

day is always a challenge. Last year, however, my parents offered
to stay with them, so Jim and I had two weeks for ourselves. We
went to Kangaroo Island, a tiny island south of Australia – the-
re’s nothing between you and the South Pole. The island is inha-
bited by only a few hundred people, and abundant wildlife. A to-
ur guide took us on a bumping jeep through the backcountry,
showed us koalas and rare birds and, of course, kangaroos. Even
an infection that troubled me for a few days couldn’t spoil the
experience.

mily and friends. On August 23, the group was going to a restau-
rant, but Colasante’s 12-year-old son threw a tantrum and refu-
sed to enter with the rest of the group. According to the char-
ges, Colasante slapped him in the face.

The father denies the charges. His defense attorney Pedro

Patruno said: “The allegations are ridiculous. There was no as-
sault. The child refused to enter the restaurant so his father
scolded him gesticulating angrily. But this is how we do things
in Italy.”

What is known is that Colasante’s heated reaction convin-

ced some witnesses that the man was assaulting his son. They
alerted the police who arrested Colasante. The Italian man
spent three days and two nights in a Stockholm jail, and now
he cannot leave the city before the trial, which will take place
next month.

In Italy, where people are often loud, the scene would have

been considered normal. But in Sweden, since 1966 the strict
law has forbidden any kind of physical punishment of children,
even yelling too much could be punished as a crime.

Having sent her son back home, Mrs. Colasante decided to

stay in Stockholm to support her husband.

Throughout recorded history, almost every civilization has

played a game with a club and a ball. Even ancient Roman do-
cuments describe something that could be the father of mo-
dern hockey. Many variants of such games were clearly enjoy-
ed throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. One version of the
game consisted of knocking a ball from one chosen place to ano-
ther. Its name had a lot of variations, for example ”kolf” in Hol-
land and ”goff” in England. So it’s difficult to name the exact
date golf started to exist, but one thing is certain – it already exi-
sted in 1457 when an Act of Parliament was passed in Scotland
preventing playing golf on Sundays.

This Act, which banned also football, was initiated by James

II, king of Scotland who thought that his men spent too much
time on these games. The times were uneasy and the kingdom
needed good warriors, especially archers. The king was wor-
ried that playing games would take his men away from practi-
cing archery and that they wouldn’t be able to defend the co-
untry if the need arose. The pure fact that there was a need for
an Act of Parliament on such matter shows how popular the
game was.

There is general agreement that the Scots were the earliest

of golf addicts but who and how actually invented the game is
open to debate. One theory bases on the fact that Scotland is
a country of sheep and shepherds. Shepherding is a rather bo-
ring job involving a lot of sitting in the middle of a grassy field
watching a lot of sheep standing around and munching on grass.
In the grass there were rabbit holes. So the theory goes that the
bored shepherds passed their time hitting rounded stones with
their wooden sticks trying to get them into rabbit holes.

Such games often involved people from a couple of villages.

And on the East Coast of Scotland, where golf was especially
popular, the land is hilly and full of sandy stretches. That’s why
the golf courses are supposed to look that way nowadays. Over
the next five hundred years, the people living here developed
the game into the one with balls and clubs as we know it today.
And in the 18th century it was here that many of today’s great
golf clubs were founded and rules were slowly defined into the-
ir modern version. Top players began to regularly gather for
’meetings’ when medals were given to the best. It was then that
distinctions between amateur and professional players were
made for the first time.

6.1.

According to the first paragraph, golf

A.

had many variations in Holland.

B.

was played in 15th century Scotland.

C.

was described in Roman documents.

D.

is a much older game than hockey.

6.2.

The Act of Parliament was passed

A.

to promote popular Scottish games.

B.

to regulate how long one game could be.

C.

because players needed easier rules.

D.

because king’s men played too much.

6.3.

According to the text, Scottish shepherds

A.

caught rabbits in their holes in the fields.

B.

were addicted to golf more than anyone.

C.

didn’t like their job because it was boring.

D.

had nothing to do so they played games.

6.4.

The East of Scotland

A.

was especially popular with golfers even five hundred years

ago.

B.

has a landscape which gave shape to the modern golf co-

urses.

C.

was the only area were the rules weren’t defined till the

18th century.

D.

had the most amateur and professional players who won

medals.

TRANSKRYPCJA

Zadanie 1

Mia Carrol is very shy and when she goes to parties it’s always

someone else who gets the interesting guys. Last year, her friend
Jenny convinced her to join an on-line dating service to help her
find a boyfriend. But since Mia was a bit anxious about trying it
alone, Jenny came up with a plan. She signed up for another se-
rvice and when they were asked on dates, they both set them up
in the same restaurant one after another. The idea was that whi-
le one friend was on her date the other would be watching her
ready to help in case something went wrong. Mia’s date was first
and she really liked the guy. From the start they seemed to have
a real connection and, instead of the disaster she had expected,
the date was a wonderful experience. They had a lot of fun and
when their dinner was over, she was sorry she had to leave him
to watch Jenny and her date. They said their goodbyes and Mia
pretended to go home. In fact, she found a table at the back of the
restaurant and watched Jenny waiting for her date. A few minu-
tes later her own date walked back in and sat at Jenny’s table! It
turned out this guy was using different names for different da-
ting services. The girls were really happy they found out what
a liar he was before things got serious and decided to inform both
services about his dishonesty.

Zadanie 2

SPEAKER 1

Meeting interesting people is what I love most about my job.

I get to the biggest concerts and then go backstage and talk to the
musicians. I’m there for the most important events and interview
the greatest names of our times. Last year I was invited to the
White House to cover a dinner of the US president with six other
important politicians. A thrilling experience! And my text ma-
de the front page!

SPEAKER 2

It’s not an easy job. I make a lot of money, but I work long ho-

urs and sometimes have to go to business dinners with a bunch
of boring people when I’d much rather relax with a newspaper.
And sometimes there are difficult decisions, when the compa-
ny has to reduce employment and people must lose jobs. I don’t
mind firing those who surf the net instead of working, but letting
go of decently working staff is not easy.

SPEAKER 3

It was all an accident. I was studying to be a journalist when

a friend brought someone for supper. I made them my favorite
dish and the guy loved it. He was actually a hotel manager looking
for a chef. After tasting some of my other creations, he offered

me the job on condition that I took a course to get the formal cer-
tificates. I agreed and never regretted it.Now I’m bossing around
a staff of 10 and experimenting with Japanese dishes and loving
every minute of it.

SPEAKER 4

Of course what I do has its ups and downs. As we tour a lot,

we sometimes end up sleeping in strange places and eating in su-
spiciously smelling restaurants. The food can be a nightmare.
Sometimes I’d rather cook myself, even if I’m tired after a few ni-
ghts of playing. But that’s a small price to pay for the satisfaction
of hearing thousands sing along with you or watching your al-
bums sell on the spot. I can’t even imagine having an dull office
job.

SPEAKER 5

I finished business school and I think it helps in my career.

I mean, basically what we do is managing the country. People
think we do nothing and take money for it. That’s not true. Of co-
urse there are some who care more about being celebrities and
posing for pictures than doing their job. But I really try to make
a difference. I was lucky to get enough votes in the last election
to keep the office for another term.

Zadanie 3

Journalist:

In our studio we have Marc Roberts, whom you can

see as an ancient Greek hero in a new American comedy

The

Spartans. Mark became famous at 16, when he played a small
part in

Coronation Street – the UK’s longest-running soap ope-

ra. After a short period as a pop star, he moved to Los Angeles
and starred in a series of US sitcoms.Marc is with us today to tell
us about his work. Hello Marc.

Marc Roberts:

Good morning.

Journalist:

Marc, I watched

The Spartans a few days ago. You’re

virtually unrecognisable in this role, how did you do it?

Marc Roberts:

They got me a trainer and a nutritionist. I had

to eat very small portions seven times a day and each day I wor-
ked out for four hours. There was no alcohol, no fat, no sugar. In
three weeks I was thin like a stick and very fit. And then, two days
after the filming finished, I broke my arm. I couldn’t exercise so
I regained my normal body weight in no time at all.

Journalist:

In the film, you wear a heavy costume. Was it diffi-

cult acting in it?

Marc Roberts:

Not as bad as I’d expected. The arm and leg gu-

ards were a bit of a problem for the first few days, but I was just
so happy to have the role that I hardly noticed.

Journalist:

What did you find most difficult to adjust to when

you moved to Los Angeles?

Marc Roberts:

It was tough – having to make new friends and

trying to build a career. I had a contract with a film studio and
they paid me for

not working until they found the right project

for me. After a year, I got a sitcom and I’ve been in LA ever sin-
ce. Some people are surprised I speak with no American accent.
I must say I find it really irritating when people change the way
they speak after they’ve lived in a new country for five minutes.
That’s pathetic.

Journalist:

Do you look back on your short pop singer career

with fondness or embarrassment?

Marc Roberts:

Both. I learnt more in three years of perfor-

ming on stage than I did from anything else in my career. It tau-
ght me to have a thick skin and not take what people say perso-
nally. It was an enormous relief when it finished.

Journalist:

Marc, thank you very much for accepting our in-

vitation.
