Rozmowa sterowana B
A: Oh, we're very glad we could find this place, this shelter. We got lost, I think.
B: Oh, really? You're very lucky then.
A: We wanted to get as close as possible to Krywań.
B: It is about 3 kilometres from here.
A: Really? That's not far.
B: Yes. But how did you get here? It's not really on the trail to Krywań.
A: We left a small village in the morning and went south-east. We kept going until it got really dark and we lost the trail markings. We started to worry. You know, there was no place where we could sleep. And suddenly we saw the lights from this house. You know, the first lights from a house in a long time. We discovered there was a path that led somewhere towards this house and we decided to take the risk. It took us straight here.
B: Good. Now you need to rest.
A: Oh, yes! So you say Krywań is not so far from here.
B: Yes. In the morning it will be easier to get there.
A: Oh, yes.
Rozmowa sterowana C
A: I know you want me to go on this trip with you but I don't
think it's a good idea.
B: Why not? We would be so happy to have you with us. [ You
could be our guide and you could tell us things about those
places we are going to visit]
A: I really think you should go on your own. [I've seen
everything there already.]
B: We will pay entrance fees for you, don't worry about that.
We 'd love to ha ve you with us.
A: It sounds great, but it's not the money, you see. I've seen
all those places.
B: You could see them again and perhaps explain a thing
or two. I'm sure we won't find all that in a guide-book.
A: But it is just one of the reasons. I have an idea. After you
come back, you can tell me how many Polish people can
actually speak English. In the meantime, I will think of
some local trips that we could make together when you
come back. In this way you will be real tourists here, with
no Polish native speaker to help you. What do you
think?
B: All right. If it has to be that way. We'll go by ourselves then. A: Great. Have a good day.

Opis ilustracji
In this picture I can see two tourists, a man and a woman, at their car. They are on the right-hand side of the picture. The man is middle-aged, he has dark hair but he's balding on top. He's wearing blue summer clothes, a T-shirt and shorts. On his left hand there is a watch. His right hand is resting on the windscreen of the car and holding a map. He's pointing at something with his left hand and looking at the woman. She's standing close to him, with her back to the camera, and we can't see her face. She's got dark blond hair. She's wearing a short, sleeveless, white, summer dress and she has a straw hat on her back. Her left hand is resting on the car. The car is in the foreground of the picture [and it's a red convertible]. On the bonnet of the car there is a light brown bag. The two people may be a married couple who stopped to make sure where to go next. They are somewhere in the country in front of a building. We can see part of it in the top right-hand corner. To the left there are some trees and bushes in the background and in the top left-hand corner there is a shrub with red flowers. It is most probably the middle of summer and these people are on holiday.
1. Have the people in the picture got lost or rather not?
Why do you think so?
In my opinion they are not lost because they have the map. I think they are discussing a possible route 'along the coast. They have probably spent the night in the house behind them and now they want to drive somewhere else. Perhaps they disagree with each other or even worry about something because the man is not smiling. It seems they are having a serious discussion about where to go next.
2. How can people avoid problems when they travel?
In my opinion the first thing that people should remember about is not to forget anything important like personal documents, tickets and money. The second thing that people can do is to write down a list of things they want or need to take. I would add that it is important to be calm and not to worry that we will be late or that something bad will happen. When we get nervous like that, we don't enjoy the journey. We should enjoy the journey, too, not only think about our destination.
