Pisanie

One of the Matura text types is a 'description ofan event.' Students may legitimately ask about the difference between a description ofan event and a story. It would be difficult to show any objective distinction: a story may be defined as a description of events. In the context of exam tasks, however, the difference can be explained in two ways: (1) The story is an exercise in narratiwe writing; the key skiils are sequencing and showing cause and efFect. The description is an exercise in descriptiue writing; the focus is on morę static elements, such as conveying sensations (visual images, sounds, smells, etc.) and atmosphere. (2) For the purpose of Matura, the difference lies in the different assessment criteria.

That is why the treningmaturalny focuses on assessment criteria. To get top marks for the content of a 'description ofan event',

a candidate needs to (1) give relevant information about the event (what, where, when, who); (2) describe the event 'in logical order’; (3) State and justify his/her opinion of the event.

2    Extract 1 comes from a story and 2 from a description.

3    yisual description: spectacularfireworks, a paradę of characters from Greek mythology and people dressed as ancient statues, gliding and dancing through the stadium sounds: euocatiue musie, hearing the Polish national anthem adjectiyes used to eyaluate: spellbound, impressed, vivid, elegant, imaginatiue
