Thix survey containy some surprising figures about e-commerce and I thought you might Accordingtothesurvey mostH ungariansbuyfoodimhypermarkety and supermarkets, not iv small corner shops, ax they used to- do- before. The survey shows that the reasons for this change are that hypermarketyhavelong opening hours, freeparkingand regular discounts. Ay for books, the general opinion iy that people buy fewer books, but they often choose the internet for buying books. Electric goody are usually bought tw spetalist shops. The last thing the survey examined way clothes. It hay turned out that people buy clothes ivplagas, specialist shopyand more and more people buy clothes iw second hand shops. If I compare these findings with my shopping habits, I caw say that it reflecty my own shopping habity except for books. I prefer buying booky iw bookshops. I think the future wil definitely be the internet. E-commerce wil take over normal shops, people will buy everything including food online, ay many people already do: Thaveno idea ifa similar survey haybeewmade ivyour country, but maybe yow could give me some information about shopping trendy in your country.

This thick, hearty dish was a very popular dish among herdsmen in Hungary. They made it in a cast-iron kettle hung above open fire, out in the fields. Herdsman is gu/yds in Hungarian, so that’s where the name of the dish comes from. Hungarian goulash is a beef dish cooked with onions, Hungarian paprika powder, tomatoes and some green pepper. Potato and noodles are also added according to some recipes. Hun- garian goulash is neither a soup nor a stew, it’s somewhere in between. Now let’s see a classical Hungarian goulash recipe: The ingredients for 4 people are the following: © 600 g beef shin or shoulder, or any tender part of the beef cut into cubes ® 2 tablespoons oil or lard » 2 medium onions, chopped ® 2 cloves of garlic © 1-2 diced carrots ® 1 diced parsley root ® 1-2 celery leaves ® 2 medium tomatoes peeled and chopped ® 2 fresh green peppers ® 2-3 sliced medium potatoes ® 1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika powder ® | teaspoon ground caraway seed * 1 bayleaf ® ground black pepper and salt according to taste ¥ water Instructions First, I heat up the oil or lard in a pot and braise the chopped onions in it until they get a nice golden brown colour. Second, I sprinkle the braised onions with paprika powder while strirring them to prevent the paprika from burning. Third, I add the beef cubes and simmer them till they turn a brownish colour. The meat will let out its own juice. I let the beef-cubes simmer in it while adding the grated or crushed and chopped garlic, the ground caraway seed, some salt and ground black pepper and the bayleaf. Then I add ave) oldasok Ey deo sub yah auras: fe) UYU | eyed water enough to cover the content of the pan and let it simmer on low heat for a while. When the meat is half-cooked, I add the diced carrots, parsley root and the potatoes, the celery leaf and some more salt if necessary. When the vegetables and the meat are almost done, I add the tomato cubes and the sliced green peppers. I let it cook on low heat for another few minutes. I bring the soup to the boil and add the noodles, they need about 5 more minutes to get cooked. Candidate B: How often do you eat goulash? Candidate A: | don’t eat it too often because it is said to be full of saturated fat, so it is quite fattening. We have it at home about once a month. It is healthy if you don’t eat it too often. Anyway, it is a fatty dish so I wouldn’t recommend it to people who have digestion prob- lems. es ee Candidate B: My favourite piece of artwork is a painting called Mona Lisa. I saw this paint- ing in a French museum called the Louvre 2 years ago when I was in Paris on holiday with my parents. This painting made a deep impression on me because I found it very mysterious. Itis displayed in a purpose-built, climate-controlled room behind bullet-proof security glass. About 6 million people view the painting at the Louvre each year. Mona Lisa is a 16" century portrait painted in oil by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. The work is owned by the Government of France. The painting is a half-length portrait and depicts a woman whose expression is often de- scribed as enigmatic, The painting is world famous for the smile of the woman it depicts. Leonardo da Vinci began painting it in 1503, during the Italian Renaissance and after he had worked on it for four years, he left it unfinished. He continued to work on it three years after he moved to France and finished it shortly before he died in 1519. After his death the French king, Francois I bought the painting. After the French Revolution, it was moved to the Lou- vre. Napoleon I had it moved to his bedroom. Later it was returned to the Louvre. Mona Lisa was not well-known until the mid-19" century when artists of the emerging Symbolist movement began to appreciate it, and associated it with their ideas about eternal fermi Leonardo used a pyramid design to place the woman simply and calmly in the space of the painting. The woman sits upright with her arms folded, which is also a sign of her reserved posture. Only her gaze is fixed on the observer and seems to welcome them to this silent communication. Thus, we are attracted to this mysterious woman but have to stay at a dis- tance as if she were a divine creature. Mona Lisa has no visible facial hair-including eyebrows and eyelashes. Some researchers claim that it was common at this time for genteel women to pluck them out, since they were considered to be unsightly. For modern viewers the missing eyebrows add to the slightly semi-abstract quality of the face. Candidate A: Have you seen any other paintings by Leonardo da Vinci? _ | 80] Candidate B: 1 have also seen another painting called The Last Supper, which he painted in Milan, The painting represents the last meal shared by Jesus with his disciples before his capture and death. I also saw it with my parents when we were on holiday in Italy. Candidate A: | have read a newspaper article about fitness concerns. The article is about a recent survey about the rate of obese teenagers which is already very high and getting even higher. It seems fewer and fewer young people are interested in doing sports or getting in- volved in other physical activities That is why the government aims at providing teenagers with more effective PE lessons at least twice a week. As for me, I think fitness is a serious problem in Hungary. PE lessons provided by schools are of low quality due to the lack of sports facilities. There are some schools where there is not even a gym. However, we must admit that it is also the fault of teenagers. They are lazy and prefer playing computer games or chatting on the Net to doing exercise. When they realize their mistake, it is often too late because they are already overweight. Do you agree with me? Candidate B: don’t agree with you completely because | think although it is true that there are obese teenagers, the majority of them are in good health and they do everything to keep fit. Just think of the fitness clubs. They are so popular nowadays. Teenagers attend the gym several times a week to do aerobics, step, spinning or simply use the fitness machines. I think it isa good way of keeping fit. Teenagers also like bullgames which they can play at school. I think the problem is that two PE lessons a week aren’t enough. So I welcome the govern- ment’s plan to equip schools with more sports facilities and provide more PE lessons. Candidate A: | agree with you on that. And what about you? How do you keep fit? Candidate B: Fitness is very important for me. I used to be chubby when I was about 10 years old but thanks to taking exercise I have lost weight. I attend Fitworld, which is my fa- Vourite fitness club, three times a week. | don’t like the fitness machines there because I find them boring, but I enjoy aerobics and spinning very much. Unfortunately, I can’t go jogging regularly because of some joint problems. I also enjoy swimming and I am a member of the school basketball team. I think teenagers especially like ballgames and they would be more enthusiastic about PE lessons if there were better facilities. By facilities I mean gyms, sports fields and sports equipment as well as modern changing rooms. What about you? How do you keep fit? Candidate A; Unfortunately, | am not as fit as you because I am a bit lazy. I prefer read- ing and talking to my friends. I sometimes go to the gym but not too often. It is very tiring for me because I am not used to exercising. I hate PE lessons because they are boring, we don’t do anything except for running around the school building and it is not enjoy- able at all, To tell the truth, I would enjoy PF lessons much more if we didn’t get grades. I think your physical performance is based on your abilities, [ mean you can’t study for PE lessons. But of course I don’t want to get obese so I must do my best to keep fit. It is my responsibility. ae 8 probanyelvvizsga nyelybol= be Candidate A: Don’t you think it is a good idea to help Mark while his wife, Linda is staying in hospital with the newborn baby? Candidate B: It is a good idea. I think he will need help with the housework and looking after Melanie, his daughter. What tasks shall we do? Candidate A: 1 can do the shopping in a hypermarket because I have a car. What about you? Candidate B: \ don’t want to help you with the shopping because I can’t stand the crowd in big shopping centres. But I can cook quite well. I know Italian cuisine quite a lot because I worked in an Italian restaurant last summer. Do you think they like pasta and pizza? Candidate A: Everybody likes pizza. It will be great. Can we do the cleaning together? Candidate B: Yes, that sounds good. But you know, I am not too good at dusting the furni- ture and hoovering. Candidate A: Never mind, when Linda comes home she can do it again if she isn’t satisfied. But I think she will have enough work with the baby. Candidate B: You are right. But | won’t iron the clothes. I can’t iron. Candidate A: Neither can I. Let’s leave it to somebody else. Who else could we ask to help? Candidate B: What do you think of Linda’s girlfriend, Margaret. She likes housework, any- way. Candidate A: Great. Could you call her? Candidate B: Why not? lam sure she could give us a hand. By the way, how long and how often can you stay at Mark’s house? Candidate A: Let me see... 1am free on Monday morning, Tuesday afternoon and Wednes- day the whole day. And if I am not mistaken, Linda will go home on Thursday. And you? Candidate B: | will visit Mark on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning then. But wait a minute, we have nearly forgotten about the most important thing, looking after Melanie. How shall we take care of her? Candidate A: Let’s take her to the playground on Wednesday. I am sure she will enjoy play- ing with other kids. Candidate B: Sure. And while we take her there, Mark will have a little time to relax. Candidate A: Yes, or to visit his wife in the hospital. By the way, shall we visit Linda? Candidate B: don’t think it is a good idea. Why don’t we visit her at home when she comes home with the baby? Candidate A: L agree. Candidate B: OK. So you will do the shopping on Monday morning and I will cook in the afiernoon. Then, we can tidy the house on Tuesday... Candidate A: Yes, and we will take Melanie to the playground on Wednesday together. Candidate B: | think we have agreed upon everything. Candidate A: Yes. See you on Monday then. Candidate B: See you. @ Bees ® Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Kiss Emese. * Hello, my name’s Nagy Mark, What do you do? Are you a student? * Yes, I attend X grammar school. I’m in my final year. I am going to take the school- leaving exam next May. And you? Tam a student, too. I’m 17, I am in my third year at Y secondary vocational school of economics. What are your plans for the future? Tam planning to study architecture, I would like to study at the Budapest Technical University. And what about you? What are you interested in? Tam interested in Mathematics and Economics, but I haven’t decided what university or college to apply for. I am also interested in sports, so I might want to study at the University of Physical Education. What sports do you do? Are you a professional sportsman? Yes, I am a long-distance runner. I have been doing athletics for 12 years, and I am also a football fan, I play and watch football as a hobby in my free time. Do you like sports? Actually, I prefer watching sports to doing sports. I used to play basketball for some years, but I gave it up as I had a knee injury and later an operation. I really enjoy watch- ing Formula One races on TV. My dream is to go to the Hungaroring and see a race there, Tell me something about your family. Do you come from a big family? * Lcome from a small family, am an only child, unfortunately. My parents are quite old, they are retired. Do you have any sisters and brothers? Yes, I have a brother and a sister. They are both younger than me. I am the oldest child in my family. My parents are active. My father is an engineer and my mother is a teacher. My grandparents are alive and we meet them quite often. I also have a lot of cousins, They are basically my age, so we have a lot in common. | like spending time with them. When we meet, we usually play games and we have a lot of fun. a * I think Hungary has been a member state of the European Union since 2004, so we have a history in the European Union. I remember the debates on TV and radio about the ac- cession. Sume people were for, others were against the accession. ee 8 probanyelyvizsga nyelybol= Bz — ® Yes, I also remember my parents talking about it a lot. They always said that being a citizen of an EU member state would be more important for our generation rather than theirs. » Yes, now we have freedom of movement. We can travel freely in the European Union, but for us, the biggest change is that we can choose to live and work in any EU member state. ® Yes, that is something many Hungarian people have already done, as the working condi- tions are better in most EU states. People can earn more money for the same amount of work and I think it attracts a lot of people. ® Studying abroad is also easier. There are more student exchange programmes than be- fore. Each university or college has a partner institution in one or more EU countries and students can apply for a scholarship to study there for a couple of months or a term. I think this is a unique opportunity. You can practise the language and see your field of study from a different point of view, and also you can make friends with foreign students. It is also an advantage that these young people who take part in student exchange pro- grammes can learn independence, to make decisions and learn about themselves. It also looks good on your CV if you have spent some time abroad and have studied or worked there. Would you like to spend some time abroad either to work or to study there, or maybe both? Yes, sure... Iam planning to study in the Netherlands. My cousin has spent a term there, he was an Erasmus exchange student at the University of Utrecht, He had a great time there and wants to go back. I know that most people want to go to Britain, but I would prefer to stay on the continent and another reason is that I hate English weather. And you? I would rather go to Britain, there are so many opportunities to have a part- time job, I could work and earn some money and I would spend that money on travelling and looking around. Do you think that the standard of living has improved since we joined the EU? I do not have any comprehensive information about it, but it seems to me that some areas have improved a lot. For example, the choice of goods. It seems to me that there is no difference between shops across the EU and in Hungary. You can buy whatever you want and there is no difference in prices, but I think there is a huge difference in salaries. 1 fully agree with you. Salaries are much lower in Hungary than in other EU countries. I have just read a survey in HVG and it says that we have to work more hours for the same product than people in any other EU member state. Do you think the situation is going to change if we adopt the euro as an official currency? I hope so. But I cannot say. Trade will be definitely easier and we don’t have to bother with exchanging money when we travel... I don’t know how it will affect the Hungarian economy. Maybe it will be good for people who have a bank loan... * * * * 8 a4 * * WMajolksol Fel 526i) ® Yes, maybe... but we won’t join the euro-zone in the near future, politicians say that it won’t happen before 2015, if I remember well... I think all these pictures are related to weather. In the past the weather was a popular topic to start a conversation with and also people enjoyed talking about it because it was an impersonal topic, but these days we talk about the weather because there are so many problems with it. In the first picture I can see a summer scene, a beach. Summers are extremely hot these days, I think most summers go into record books because the temperature is so high. It is not unusual to have temperatures over 40 degrees. It is really bad for the human body and also for nature, as droughts destroy crops. People usually go on holiday in summer, but they often choose new destinations because Mediterranean countries are too hot, the heat is unbearable and they cannot spend too much time outside during the day. In the second picture I can see the sea again, this picture reminds me of rising sea lev- els, which is the result of global warming. Global warming melts polar ice and as it melts, the sea levels rise. It affects people who live in coastal areas as there are more floods and some settlements will be covered in water. The third picture shows some kind ofa natural disaster, a flood, or maybe a tornado ora tsunami. These natural disasters are becoming more and more common. Fortunately there aren’t too many of them in Hungary, but global warming and the climate change affects Hungary, as well. We have had floods on the river Tisza recently and we have had some extremely hot summers, too. The weather and the climate are popular topics in the media since more and more peo- ple realise that something should be done to improve the situation. Ordinary people can do a lot to protect the environment, but global measures are necessary to reduce climate change. It is difficult to say how serious the problem is, problems are often exaggerated in the media...
