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, simply 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: Thank you.

A: I'd like to organize a name day party. You know, in Poland people celebrate their name days more often than birthdays.
B: Oh I see. I've heard about it once.
A: You react just like some people in England did when I had my name day party there. I could tell you how those friends in England sang “Happy Birthday” to me instead.
B: They did?
A: Yes, the party took place in the house where I was renting a room. It was the middle of summer so we had a party downstairs and on the patio at the back of the house.
B: How many people came?
A: About fifteen. I invited people from work and some Polish friends. All of them brought refreshments so we had plenty to eat and drink. We danced a bit, we talked and joked a lot. And at about 10 o'clock at night my Polish friends took me by surprise and brought in a large layer-cake. It had eight candles, one for each week I was in England. I had to blow them out. It really looked just like a birthday party. Some English people even started to sing “Happy Birthday” and everybody joined in. But they didn't really know why there were only eight candles on the cake. I had to explain.
B: So what was their reaction?
A: They were a bit surprised that nobody had told them about it before the party. I suppose they thought they could sing “Happy Name Day” instead.
B: Yes, indeed. We'll sing it to you this time. We won't make the same mistake.
A: Thanks.

A: Today is your free day. Why don't we go somewhere? How about taking a short walk? You'll see where I live. It's really beautiful here at this time of the year.
B: Oh yes. That would be great. But I'd rather stay here and watch some television. [You said you have a satellite dish.] I'd like to spend a quiet day in my room today.
A: I understand, but why don't you have a quiet evening then? Wouldn't that be enough? We can't stay at home when it's such nice weather. We could go for a very short trip if you wanted.
B: I'd like to stay in if you don't mind. You can go yourself.
A: Oh no. I'd love to make your stay as pleasant as possible but we can't stay at home.
B: Why not?
A: Listen, I have an idea. Why don't we go for a very short walk now and come back soon. You know, I'd like to show you around. You won't regret it.
B: Erm… OK. But just a short walk. OK?
A: OK. We can come back as soon as you tell me. I hope it will not be soon anyway.
B: Oh!
A: Just joking. Let's go!
Zadanie 2 Rozmowa na podstawie ilustracji
The picture shows two people: an elderly woman [of about 60], and a young schoolgirl [who may be about six]. They are probably grandmother and granddaughter. They are sitting somewhere in the open air, probably in a park. The woman is dressed in a purple blouse and blue shorts. She is smiling at the girl. The girl is looking at her and that's why I can't see her face. She has long brown hair [and a checked blue hair band in it]. She is wearing a blue top with a white collar and a blue skirt [with the same checked pattern as the hair band]. She is holding an open book in her lap.
Why do you think the girl is listening to her grandmother?
I think the grandmother is probably telling the schoolgirl that she likes everything that she has written in the book [and she is praising her]. In my opinion she is also encouraging her to learn to write letters of the alphabet. In this way the woman can see that the girl has already learned many things at school.
What can young people learn from their grandparents?
Young people can learn a lot from their grandparents, for example how life in the past was different from our life nowadays, and how we take certain things for granted, but some time ago they didn't even exist. They can also tell us stories when we are very young, for example fairy tales or real stories. And very often we can learn from them how to behave in various situations, because they have more experience.
