Zadanie 1. Rozmowa sterowana A
A: Good morning. How can I help ?
B: I'd like to ask about courses you offer to foreign students.
I'd be grateful if I could get a brochure. A: OK, what level would you be interested in? B: I think I am intermediate or maybe upper intermediate. A: Oh, yes. Here is a brochure with our intermediate level
courses. And that one with the upper intermediate courses
we have currently on offer. B: Thank you very much. A: You're most welcome.
B: Is there information in the brochures about the prices? A: Oh yes. Look, all the prices are provided at the bottom of
each page. B: Do you offer any additional activities? For example, a
library, trips and others. A: Oh, yes. All our learners have them at all levels. The
activities are all described in the booklets. B: Thank you so much. Good-bye.
Rozmowa sterowana B
A: You told me about winning a contest. And I took part in
a biology school contest last year. B: Really? And how was it? Did you win anything? A: I came third so it wasn't bad. B: Good. I didn't know. Did you receive any prize? A: Yes. A certificate of participation, some books and the
satisfaction of studying what I want. B: Really? Tell me more about it. A: It was the National Biology Olympiad, I think you can call it
that. B: Oh, so you were third in Poland, not just in your school! A: Yes, I had to study really hard. I read a lot of books, not just
school books. I practised doing those tests. My teacher
helped me a lot. [On the day of the test she was with me
and kept her fingers crossed for me. Some participants left
already at the beginning, but I tried to write as much as I
could and finished a minute before they announced that it
was the end of the test.] B: Oh yes, I can imagine the pressure. A: Yes. The competition was very tough and I was a bit
surprised when I saw my name in third place. B: You certainly deserved it. So what is it that you're
studying ? Biology? A: No, medicine. I've always wanted to be a doctor and this
contest helped me, because I didn't have to take the
entrance exams. B: [Oh, that's hard work, no doubt] Congratulations! A: Thanks.

A: We still have to arrange the date for my examination. When do you expect me to take it?
B: I'd like you to take it, let's say, by the fifteenth of May at the latest. Later I have other arrangements and I may not have time to read everything [before you come back to your university in Poland].
A: I'd be extremely grateful if we could have it a day later, on the sixteenth. The problem with me is that I'm going on a trip around Ireland, which will take about two weeks. The university offered this to all the foreign students here and I think it's a wonderful opportunity to see Ireland. I'm coming back on the fourteenth. I'd be very grateful if you agreed.
B: Why the sixteenth? You could come here on the fifteenth. I You are coming back in good time for that] But, from what I remember, you owe me two essays in order to receive the credit for the course. [ You know you should submit them as well.]
A: Yes, that's true. Nevertheless, I would like to have one day for revision. But I have an idea about those essays. I wonder if you would agree. I could bring them before I go on the trip, say, by the end of April. [I'm sure I will be ready with them, because I have already started working on them.] Then, when I come back I could take this exam and at the same time we could discuss those essays. I'm sure this would save you time as well.
B: OK then. I see you have planned it all. [I agree because you are a good student and you've always been very active in class.]
A: Thank you very much, sir. I will leave the essays for you and then come back to take the exam on the sixteenth.
B: Yes, that's right.
A: Good-bye. Thank you very much indeed. I'm really grateful.
Zadanie 2. Opis ilustracji
The picture shows a young man in his room. He has short brown hair. He is wearing a checked blue shirt. He is sitting at the desk. His hands are on a computer keyboard on the desk. He is looking at the monitor screen to the left. The man is writing something on the computer. In the bottom left corner of the picture, on the desk there is a printer and a computer monitor with the keyboard. In the background I can see a large black notebook and some notes with a pen on them. On the wall behind the man there is a shelf with books. It is not clear what is directly behind the young man. It may be another shelf, but with fewer books. Next to them I can see a plastic box with floppy discs.
1. Is the young man in his room at home or at a students'
dormitory? Why do you think so?
I think this man *fs in his room at the dorm. There are no personal things that we can say the man likes, for example gadgets or photographs. It may mean he is there only for some time, it is not his home. The room may be very small, because the desk and the shelves are filled with many things: books, notes, boxes, the computer and the printer, which take a lot of space.
2. Where would you like to live as a student? Why?
I would like to live in a dorm. In my opinion it is a good idea to live in a dorm, because students live together and they can get to know one another better, they can help each other and have fun together. We can talk about the so-called student life, which is possible only in a dorm. Besides, students learn to live on their own, and they don't depend on their patents so much.
