(odpowiedzi przykładowe)
|1. (zob. rozmowa sterowana A, zestaw IV) I

A: Have you got any experience working as a waiter?

B: Oh yes. Last year, for example, I worked in a pizzeria in Poland. I took orders from customers.

A: All right, that should be enough. It's a small place anyway.

B: Erm... One of the things I'd like to ask you is what salary I could get at your place?

A: Oh, yes. You can earn about £150 plus tips from custo­mers.

B: OK, not bad. And one more question. How long will my shift be? And is it stable or not?

A: Well, it is. On average it's about seven hours plus cleaning after we close.

B: Yes, I expected that, of course.

A: Will that be all?

B: Yes, I think so. See you tomorrow then, as we said earlier.

12. (zob. rozmowa sterowana A, zestaw V) |

A: Can you give me some advice ? What do people in Poland

usually buy when they're visiting someone at home? B: You can always buy flowers for the lady and a bottle of

good wine for her husband. A: Oh, it's simple enough then. Do you know a good wine

shop? B: You can buy wine at any shop which sells alcohol. They

usually have a good variety to choose from. A: Thank you very much. And I suppose you could tell me

where to buy flowers. B: You can get them at the market, for example. They usually

sell them freshly cut. A: Of course they should be fresh. B: If you want, I could help you with your shopping. A: Oh no, don't bother, I can manage. B: So ...Good luck with the visit. A: Thankyou.

13. (zob. rozmowa sterowana A, zestaw VIII) |

A: Now that I have finally arrived, what places can you recom­mend to see around here ?

B: I think the most interesting places are always connected with nature, so you should go and see our mountains. Apart from that, I can give you a guidebook in English and you could choose what you want.

A: Great, thanks. That sounds very interesting.

B: Last year I took some English friends for a walk in the mountains and they really enjoyed the views.

A: I'm already looking forward to it then. And how about evenings. Do you know any clubs or pubs or other places togo?

B: Oh yes. There are restaurants and pubs. I'll take you to some of them. They are really nice.

A: Oh, good. Thank you very much. But perhaps I'm bother­ing you too much.

B: No, you're not. I can go with you anywhere you want. I'd like you to enjoy your stay here.

A: Thanks, I really appreciate it.

B: You're welcome. My pleasure.

(przykładowe odpowiedzi)

A: How long are you planning to stay here?

B: Let's say for a week and then I'll see. Is that OK?

A: Oh, yes. Sure. That means by next Wednesday. Is that

right? B: Yes, it's the 15th. When would you like me to pay, now

or just before I leave? A: You could pay now in advance if you wish, but it's all

right if you pay later. B: Thank you. I'd like to ask about the kitchen. Do you think

I could use it? A: To cook, you mean? I'm afraid not. It's a very small

guesthouse. B: Oh, it's OK. And the last thing ... Could you show me the

way to the bathroom. A: Oh, it's simple. If you stand outside your room upstairs,

you'll see the bathroom right in front of you. Is there

anything else? B: No, thank you very much. Good night.

(przykładowe odpowiedzi)

1. It was a small, flat Nokia model. It was yellow with a wavy green pattern at the back. And I liked the ringtone - a jazz version of Mozart.

2. It was a CD of some hip-hop band from America. It was all black and in the middle of the plastic cover there was a hole in the shape of a heart. I don't remember the name of the band because it wasn't on the CD.

3. The dress was all white with a pattern of white roses on it. It was long and took a lot of space around the girl. I didn't like it.

4. She was wearing a pink hat with plastic vegetables on top. Her green dress was long and looked ancient. She kept smiling all the time and showing off her only tooth at the front.

5. I was rather short and skinny for my age. I had short blond hairthen and I wore my favourite blue sweater.

6. The classroom looked very big to me when I entered it. There were posters on the walls showing things I didn't know. The class was full of children who were dressed in the same type of uniform.

7. It was a Greek island where I went on holiday. The place was full of nice smells and nice people. We liked one small family restaurant where we went to eat, because its owner always sat at our table and was very friendly.

8. I remember my neighbour's flat, which I saw when I was seven. It was dark and full of huge, heavy furniture. I sat on the edge of her sofa, because it was so large that I was afraid I would never be able to leave it.

9. I remember one salad that I made once and everybody liked it. I don't remember all the ingredients, but I think I put in a lot of tropical fruit, like banana, avocado, mango.

10. It was very crowded at the border. There were a lot of lorries which blocked the road. We had to wait about five hours and finally this customs officer, very red in the face because of the sun, appeared and stamped our pass­ports.

(przykładowe odpowiedzi)

A: A funny thing happened to me last Sunday. I got lost in the underground.

B: Really? Did you forget to get off?

A: No. I was sitting in the train and talking to a man next to me. He had noticed how I opened a book to read. The book was in Polish and he was interested in Polish history and culture. He was a very friendly, old man. So we talked a little. Then he got off. And you know, the strange thing was that he got off at my station.

B: What a coincidence! So what happened?

A: I didn't notice my mistake. I discovered it after ten minutes when the train suddenly got empty. I got off and got lost in the corridors between various platforms. I noticed a woman on an empty platform and I asked her. I was lucky she wasn't a foreigner and knew the way back and so she took me to the platform where I waited for my train.

A: So you were lucky the woman was there, weren't you?

B: Yes, I think I was. Now it's funny but I was really scared for about 10 minutes.

A: So how shall we select these two representatives? I suggest we choose two responsible pupils with very good grades, who are creative and intelligent.

B: Ok, but those good pupils may not be creative and intel­ligent. Why not organize a sort of competition? In this way we could see them in action, how they cooperate, what sort of ideas they ha ve and so on.

A: That is a very good idea, but in my opinion it may not work. It takes a lot of time. Besides, it is very difficult to think of a task for them. You know, we start the camp very soon and we won't have time for that. And there are fifty of them. I must say I can't imagine having a competition of this kind for fifty people.

B: OK, I see. You are right. What do you think we should do? Choose them randomly?

A: No, I don't think it's a good idea. But you are right, we could choose them, but in a different way. Why not ask them to elect two representatives from among themselves. First, they can give the names of any people they want, and then vote for two. They know one another, because they are from one school. In this way they could be responsible for the representatives and they would like them to be really good.

B: Yes. I like that. We could also ask them to elect one girl and one boy. Then no one would be angry that we favour any group.

A: Let's do it then.

A: As I marked it when I registered with you, Id like to work as

a receptionist, a waiter, or an office temp. Do you have

anything of that sort? B: I'm afraid not. To foreign students I can only offer cleaning

jobs at present. There is a great demand for them. Would

you be interested? A: Rather not. As I said, I'd prefer something different. I'd like

to work with people more. I hope my English is good

enough. B: Oh yeah. There's no problem with that. But as you are in

our database, you have to accept the offer. If you reject it

twice, we delete your name. A: Yes, I understand. It's my first time anyway. Do you think

you will have anything next week? B: Next month is more likely. But by that time your name will

automatically be deleted, I'm afraid. A: Do you think you could find a short-term job for me then?

For example for a week or two, not longer. I hope

something more suitable for me will appear soon. B: A cleaning job?

A: Yes, if it is for a short time, I could take it. B: All right, there is an offer for ten working days starting next

Monday. A: It sounds good. I'll take it.

A: Going to the cinema is a really good idea. But I don't know what is on. There must be a lot to see in New York. Could we see a comedy for example? You know, something that would suit everyone.

B: Actually we were thinking of going to see a Polish movie. We've heard they're good. You know, Wajda, Kieślowski. We've found one that might be good for everyone. That'sThe Promised Land by Wajda.

A: Oh, yes. You mean that film from the 1970s? It's really good. I think you wanted to make me feel good by going to see it with me. I really appreciate it. I have seen this film several times in Poland and I'm sure we may rent it on video or it may even be at some cinema again soon. But why don't we go to see something more modern?

B: OKthen. What do you suggest? Do you have any ideas?

A: In fact, yes. There is this new Steven Spielberg film, The Terminal, starring Tom Hanks. And if you want something Polish, you won't be disappointed. Janusz Kamiński is the director of photography. He won an Oscar some time ago.

B: Really? I think I remember. OK. It sounds like a very good idea.

A: Great. I'm glad we are going to see it together.

A: If we want to listen to some live music, I think we should

go to a jazz concert. B: We might, but I'm afraid I'm not very keen on jazz. A: So what do you suggest? B: A classical music concert. A: I must say I don't feel like listening to classical music. I'd

prefer some place with music in the background. B: Where would you like to go then? A: Let's go to one of those clubs where they offer live music

every day. It's neither only jazz nor classical music. And

we will be able to talk a bit. B: OK, but what if it's too far from here? A: Here, I have a newspaper and we can check addresses

and types of music. B: Gooaf. That sounds great.

Ćwiczenie 4. str. 41

Ilustracja A. Przykładowy opis:

The picture shows a man and a woman walking their two dogs. These people are most probably a married couple. They both look about 55 years old. The man has greyish hair and he is wearing blue jeans and a white shirt. The woman is dressed in white trousers and a dark short-sleeved blouse. Each of them has one dog on a leash. The dogs are light brown and they are the same breed. The people and their dogs are in the middle of the picture walking along the path towards the camera. On both sides of the path there is a lawn. In the background I can see part of a large house, that is the front door and the first floor windows. To the left of the front door there is a tall tree, but we can only see its trunk. The whole area most probably belongs to the couple with the dogs.

Ilustracja B. Przykładowy opis:

In the photograph I can see a small boy of about seven writing his homework at a table. The table is covered with a pink [table] cloth. There is a vase with flowers in the middle of it. Around the table there are five chairs with white backs on brown wooden frames. The boy is sitting on one of the chairs. [He is facing the camera at a slight angle to the right.] He has brown hair and he is wearing a green T-shirt. He is writing something on a sheet on paper. In front of him, to his right, there is an open book. In the background behind the boy I can see three pictures [in

round frames hanging] on the wall, and a large pot plant with big leaves to the left of the boy. To the right of the picture there are bright curtains, probably in a window. Now it probably is dark outside.

Ilustracja C. Przykładowy opis:

The photograph shows a woman of about sixty sitting on the road surface. She has probably fallen down. She has brown hair and she is dressed in a navy blue jumper, light brown trousers, white socks and white shoes, which are probably sports shoes. Her sunglasses are lying at a small distance from her, slightly to her left. To the left of the woman, and to the right of the picture, there is a young woman. She is standing over the lady on the road. She has long dark hair and she is wearing dark trousers and a white blouse. She has white gloves on and she is holding a red and white box, probably with some medical equipment. Behind this woman I can see a man walking towards her. He is similarly dressed. He is carrying a stetho­scope around his neck and in his breast pocket he has sunglasses. Behind the three people, in the background there is an ambulance with the medical red cross and the word 'paramedics' on it. The people may be paramedics who have arrived to help the woman on the road.

Pytania do ilustracji: Ilustracja A

1. Do you think the people in the picture keep their dogs at
home? Why do you think so?

Przykładowa odpowiedź:

I think the married couple love dogs very much and they keep them at home. The dogs are probably loved by the rest of the family, too. In my opinion they have a special place inside the house, not just a corner, where they lie down for the night, for example. We can easily see that these people really take good care of their dogs. The people are probably rather wealthy and they can afford to keep various breeds.

2. Why do you think people keep animals as pets?
Przykładowa odpo#iedź:

In my opinion, people keep pets because they don't want to feel lonely. Pets, for example dogs, give them love and attention. Pets may also help the parents to bring up children. Children who take care of pets also learn to take care of others and love them. Dogs and cats are the most popular animals which people keep as pets. Everyone knows that cats catch mice, but I think I can safely say that they can also keep their owner healthy. Cats keep them warm in the long winter evenings.

Ilustracja B

1. Is somebody helping the boy with his homework or not?
Why do you think so?

Przykładowa odpowiedź:

I think that the boy gets help from his parents, for example his mother, but she has left him to finish homework on his own. Such a young child cannot do homework without any help from an adult person. The boy is not doing homework in his own room, at the desk for example, but probably in the dining room or generally closer to his parents. In this way they can see quickly what he is doing and help him if it is necessary.

2. Should teachers give homework to their pupils? Why? /
Why not?

Przykładowa odpowiedź:

In my opinion homework is a necessary part of life at school. Pupils should be given homework to do because they should revise the material at home and prepare for the next lessons. Without homework, pupils would not study at all and they

would not receive good grades at school. Teachers should remember to give homework which is not too long and not too difficult, because pupils have many subjects at school and so a lot of homework.

Ilustracja C

1. Was it a very serious accident? Why do you think so?

Przykładowa odpowiedź:

I think the accident was not serious. It is true that the woman fell down in the middle of the road, but she looks well to me. She may have some bruises only. I don't think it was somebody's fault. It seems that the woman was taking part in some mass public event. The medical team have arrived quickly because they were not far away. They were just waiting for an emergency like this.

2. How can young people help the old in the street?

Przykładowa odpowiedź:

Young people can help the elderly in many different ways. For example, when they fall down, we can help them stand up and call a doctor. If they are victims of robbery, we can help them contact the police. If they are lost, we can tell them the way or take them across the street. The elderly are usually very nervous when something bad happens to them, so we can also help them calm down. Generally, I think we must help the old, and react quickly. We need to be active, not passive. When we are their age, we may need help, too.
