General english

1.Discuss the role of television in the contemporary world. Do you think that the Internet will entirely replace TV in the future?

In my opinion the role of television is smaller than the role of Internet. In On TV we can watch and hear only this what operator chooses. In on the internet everyone of us can read, watch, listen to that what he want to. In the future, I think TV will stop not exist, because the power of the Internet will be bigger then than today. Difference Different prices between TV and the Internet will also decide about people's choice. Today many people are talking talk about free Internet for everyone. If that idea will impossible for us, everyone will have Internet in at home. Personally I see watch my TV only if I want to watch some film with my family. If I want to know what happened in the world I am going to use my computer and watching browse websites with that information. (kiepskie i niekonkretne)

2. Crime is a growing problem in many countries. What are the most common kinds of crime? Discuss the main causes and suggest what could be done to reduce high crime rate.

The number of most common kinds of crime like, burglary, mugging, auto theft, robbery, purse snatching, rape, etc. is growing at an alarming rate.

One of the main causes of crime is peer influence pressure. A person's peer group strongly influence a decision to commit crime. Next cause that I would like to present is drugs and alcohol. The increased availability of free information on the Internet also makes it easier to commit certain kinds of crime. Websites provide instructions on how to make bombs and buy poisons; all this information is easily available from the comfort of a person's home. Other factors—biological, psychological, or social—will also come into play.

I have an idea how to reduce a high crime rate. Working together, we can get the criminals off our block and out of our area. (bardzo ładnie napisane)

4. Many people are fascinated with the idea of working abroad. What problems will they probably have to face?

I understand people who are fascinating with this idea. Firstly they can't ahead make a lot of money in our country in that short time these days. For people without education have chance to ahead make some money in short time. But I don't stand by agree with this idea. We need this people I in our country. Most of they them don't want to work in Poland because they can ahead achieve more in abroad. Our government should do something with that or we will loose lose all of our specialists at building for example. Only way to fight with this problem is build more places where people can make money.

5.Why do people practise sports? What kinds of sport are most popular? Would you make any sport illegal?

Popular sports are different in all countries. Every country have has a “national sport”. For example in Brazil national country sport is … Football. Sport is the best option on for an outdoor activity. People in each age can make practise a lot of sport disciplines. People know that sport is healthy and decided about future health in the future of this these people. Physical education is needed in schools because teenagers spend too much time watching TV, playing computer games etc. Some peoples make practise a extreme sports to feel adrenaline and freedom. All kind of sports can be dangerous when you don't have experience. In my opinion all kinds of sports should be legal, because all sports disciplines were created by people to people.

6. press Contemporary word

the 21^st century where is the time when everyone have has access to information on the Internet. Newspapers will go on the second plan are less important. In my opinion people don't have need to buy newspapers, because they can read fresh news on the popular portals online. Nowadays we can see, that most popular newspapers have electronic version on the web. People who have access to the internet prefer electronic version of their favourite newspaper.

7.Do men and women have equal rights in Poland and in other countries? Do they have the same job opportunities? Discuss.

For many years, women have been fighting for equal rights for themselves. When they achieved, what they wanted, everything had to change. They realized that women are aggrieved for a number of reasons. For example, they don't get good jobs because a lot of people think that they are weaker than men. Moreover, women earn little money in comparison with men. As well as this, mainly men are chosen to govern the country. It's not fair. Personally, I think that a lot of women can feel aggrieved. In Poland and in other countries full equal fights doesn't exist. We can see it only on the paper.

8.What are the main problems facing big cities?

Noise is the most important problem in big cities. In the middle of a city

you can get and do everything you want because there is everything.

That is why many people decide to get by a car as near as they can to the place where

they want be. Many people think in this way, so many cars in small streets create

often traffic jam. Many people like walking, but some of them when they finish

something what they eat before, just push throw the air paper, and didn't think about it.

It makes streets not so clean like they were before.

We know than these problem are created by people, so

I think we must decide where we want to live.

If you have a pet just clean after it. Try ... don't be affraid of Tomorrow ;)

(to wypracowanie tez kiepskie. Nie ucz sie z niego, bo szkoda czasu.

Lepiej powiedz kilka konkretnych zdan, jak np.: Big cities have to face many problems. The most serious problem is noise, which is very harmful to our health. It makes us not only tired but also causes nervousness. The second problem is pollution. Our world is very polluted because of exhaust fumes (spaliny) and huge factories, which contaminate both water and air. Another problem is haste (pośpiech). Everyone is in a hurry and busy during the whole day. Leading such stressful lifestyles is not healthy for people. )

9.What is the greatest achievement of the 20^th century?

In my opinion, the best achievement of the 20^th century is the Internet. People use it everyday at school, at work. For example, when they want to find some necessary information about something or if they are interested in the news. You can find there everything, some people think that it is also a friend. You have a chance to talk to somebody there. It can be people from all over the world. Moreover, the Internet is really useful in the everyday life. You can stay at home but and do the shopping. A lot of people pay the bills using the Internet. As well as this, you can send the message to another person other people and you don't have to go to the post office. (ladne wypracowanie)

10.Internet

In my opinion it's possible to find a love via internet, but it can be dangerous. I think that a lot of people looking for love via internet want be anonymous and never tell everything about themselves. Most people who search date and in the future maybe love via internet are very shy and secretive. They can't are not able to meet people in traditional method. Also searching a love via internet we can't never know whether this person is really real. Someone people can be real, but others can imagine or create some perfect personality to be better or more attractive. I think that some date portals are very good, but we must remember, that sometimes reality is quite different.
