Előszó és módszertani tanácsok

Kedves Nyelvtanuló!

Ezzel a könyvvel azoknak szeretnék segítséget nyújtani, akik nyelvvizsgára, érettségire készülnek
vagy csak saját örömükre tanulják az angol nyelvet. A húsz témakör felépítése megegyező: hat
különböző feladattípus B1 és B2 szinten. A fejezetek első részében egy-egy történet olvasható
az adott témához kapcsolódóan. Kérdések, szerepjátékok, sok-sok angol szó és azok magyar
megfelelői, tematikus nyelvtani tesztek és íráskészséget fejlesztő feladatok nyújtanak segítséget a
tanulásban. A tesztek megoldásai a könyv végén találhatóak.

Hasznos nyelvtanulást kíván

A könyv felépítése

A könyv A2/B1 és B2 szintű nyelvtudással rendelkező nyelvtanulók, illetve nyelvgyakorlók


számára készült.
Minden fejezet a modem életvitel problémáival, örömeivel kapcsolatos történettel indul,
mely elolvasása a téma feldolgozásához adhat gondolatokat. A nyelvtanuló a saját idevonatkozó
tapasztalatait, élményeit mesélheti el a szöveg főbb mozzanatai alapján.
A témához tartozó tíz kérdés további szempontok - B1 szinten főleg a tanuló személyére
vonatkozó egyszerűbb, B2 szinten az Őt körülvevő komplexebb - problémák, tendenciák átgondo­
lását, feldolgozását teszi lehetővé.
A harmadik részben kooperatív formában megoldandó három szituációs gyakorlat található.
Ezek a feladatok az idegen nyelvet tanulók kommunikációs készségét fejlesztik, és nagy részük
valamilyen probléma feldolgozásán alapszik, amihez némi kreativitás is szükséges.
A fejezetekhez tartozó szavak és kifejezések összeállításánál a Közös Európai Referenciakeret
(KÉR) ajánlásai voltak mérvadóak. A szavak magyar jelentésükkel és fonetikai átírással együtt
szerepelnek. A szöveg feldolgozása után érdemes átolvasni a szinthez tartozó szószedetet, mely
segíthet a további feladatokhoz kapcsolódó gondolatok árnyaltabb kifejezésére.
A témákhoz tartozó tematikus tesztek az angol nyelvtan egy-egy fontos problémakörét ölelik
fel. B1 szinten tíz, B2 szinten tizenöt nyelvtani feleletválasztós tesztfeladatot tartalmaznak.
A megoldókulcs segítségével a tanulók önállóan is ellenőrizhetik munkájuk eredményessé­
gét.
Az íráskészség fejlesztésére szolgálnak a levél- és esszéírást előíró feladatok. Ezek témájuknál
fogva megfelelnek a nyelvtanulók eddig szerzett élettapasztalatának és ismereteinek.
A kötet végén található Függelék tartalmazza a nyelvtani tesztfeladatok megoldásait, három
téma B1 és B2 szintű kérdéseinek kidolgozott mintamegoldását, valamint gyakori nyelvi eszközök
kommunikációs célok szerint rendszerezett gyűjteményét.

John is a well-to-do businessman. He is the generál manager of a large company. He is

and makes everybody work hard. He has a good sense of humour. As fór his priváté life, he
has been divorced fór five years. He met his ex-wife, Jane twenty-one years ago. It was lőve
at first sight. After they had been going steady fór a year, John proposed to Jane. Having got
married, they spent all of their free time together. Their hobby was travelling. They bought
a small second-hand cár and whenever they had the opportunity, they left the city and had a
picnic in the nearby wood. Later they had three children, two boys and a girl. John was the
breadwinner o f the family working as a sales representative at that time. Whenever he arrived
home from work, he spent his time with his children and wife. They were happy and enjoyed
every moment of their lives. Then came a change. John was promoted, and four years later
the same thing happened again. He spent more and more time at work. Sometimes his wife
felt quite lonely. They started to argue, and unfortunately John became less and less tolerant.
There were no more family festivals. Jane went on holiday with the children bút without
her husband. Meanwhile John had to travel on business more and more. One day the couple
realised they didn’t even talk to each other. A year later they got divorced. Since then John has
been visiting his family every second Sunday to have lunch with his children and ex-wife.

A house in the greenbelt


Once I was invited to a house-warming party organised by my old friend, whom I have known
since I was three. We fírst met at the kindergarten. Her new home is located in the greenbelt
of the city with a perfect infrastructure and modem facilities. On entering the house, I was
amazed by the harmony o f colours and styles. There were dozens o f hidden spotlights. The
different rooms reflected the taste and personality o f the family member living there. The
sitting room was painted beige and the study pastel green. The special tint o f the kitchen
was the mixture o f the shades o f the setting sün on a laté summer aftemoon. The windows
were quite large with perfect insulation. You could hear no nőise coming from outside. As
the walls o f the house were really thick covered with special material, there was no need fór
air-conditioning. The temperature outside was 38 degrees, bút inside the house it was only 22
degrees. Everything seemed really spacious as there was little fumiture bút it was high quality
and o f the latest design. In the comers there were a few potted plants with big shiny leaves.
What I was amazed by was the conservatory full o f exotic plants. I imagined m yself arriving
home after a tiring day, sitting in a comfortable plush armchair by the glass wall, looking at
the natural surroundings with the old pines and evergreen bushes. That piacé was the scene
o f the dinner party. When the night was falling, a large number o f candles were lit up, and we
were offered somé champagne in crystal glasses.

Studying hard or hanging around with friends?


Edward was an energetic boy who was devoted to sports. He was quick on the uptake, so
after school he rushed to the nearest pitch to play football and hang around with his peers. In
spite of the fact that he was intelligent, he didn’t do well at school; when it came to studying
he spent a relatively short time over his books. He rarely bumt the midnight oil during his
high school years, unlike his pals. While they were swotting the dates fór a progress test in
history the next day, he was engaged in the carefree activity of chasing a ball or riding his
bike with the girls in the sunshine. He alsó played truant every now and then. Although he
was told a hundred times to puli himself together and focus on his studies, he didn’t believe
his parents and teachers either. Once he almost got a fail in physics. A*fter leaving secondary
school, most o f his classmates went on to higher education. Most of them were admitted to
colleges or universities. Edward, having quite poor grades, decided to go abroad and gain
somé experience in the university of life. One year later he came home and started to prepare
fór an entrance exam. He read books day and night, and as a result, he was able to start his
studies at a reál university in September.

Christmas celebration
At last it was time fór the winter vacation. Christmas
was very close with all the shops full o f goods. Streets
and houses were decorated with flashing tiny bulbs.
Jeremy and his family were preparing to celebrate
together with the whole family; aunts, uncles and
cousins, whom they hadn’t met fór a year. It was the
family tradition to get together at least once a year
around Christmas. That year it was Jeremy’s family’s
tűm to treat all the closest relatives to a special meal.
By the time the guests arrived, everything had been
prepared nicely. It was really surprising to see how
much the children had grown. Somé of the girls and
the boys had changed so much that the elderly were simply amazed by their appearence. ’lf
we had met in the Street, I wouldn’t have recognised you,’ said Uncle Sam to one o f them. The
atmosphere was perfect with a tall Christmas tree in the comer of the sitting room. Undemeath
the tree there were the presents wrapped up in shiny paper. Everybody was delighted to see
the relatives they hadn’t met fór a long time. They were talking cheerfully when Jeremy’s
mother entered the room with a big bowl of fish soup and a large tino f roast turkey.’At last
we are all together. Let’s start our Christmas dinner,’ said the oldest member o f the family
while Jeremy was lighting the candles on the table.

The trip of a lifetime


One Sunday aftemoon the Jones family sat down at a round table in their dining room to draw
up a plán fór their summer holiday. The parents had been saving money fór two years so that
their children could have an unforgettable trip somewhere by the sea. It wasn’t easy to come
to an agreement on what type of holiday to go on. ’We can go by cár and spend our vacation
in a caravan parked in a campsite in a picturesque area,’ suggested father, who was quite
economical and had always managed his money very carefully. ’Yes, we can pitch a tent,’
remarked their ten-year old daughter. ’I don’t want to live in a sleeping bag fór four weeks,’
grumbled their són, aged seventeen. ’We could rent a self-catering fiat too,’ said mother. ’We
should cook at least one or two hours a day, and then do the washing up and tidy up the fiat.
It wouldn’t be a reál holiday fór us,’ said father having the last word conceming the options.
They still weren’t quite certain whether to travel independently or to go on a package tour.
T f we travel independently, we will have to do all the arrangements ourselves; buy the train
or air tickets, book the rooms in a hotel somewhere close to the sea, and choose from the
programmes offered on the Internet,’ added their eldest daughter. ’Oh no,’ said Mrs. Jones,
‘it would be too much trouble and energy. Let’s go on package tour,’ she said. So the next
day they walked to a travel agency, and when they saw the breathtaking scenery in one of the
brochures, they all wished to travel to the same piacé. In the end, it took only thirty minutes
fór them to choose the piacé and pay a lót of money fór the trip of their lifetime.

1. Would you enjoy your time without your laptop and mobile while on holiday?

2. What piacé would you visit, anywhere in the world, if you had the money fór it?

3. What are the most fashionable places in Hungary/abroad that tourists visit?

4. With friends at home or with unknown people around you abroad? Which one would
you choose? Why?

5. What sort of good/bad experiences did you have during your vacation?

6. When you travel abroad, what are your priorities; history, people, scenery or shops?

7. How about buying souvenirs while on holiday?

An ordinary day
’Sharon, it’s time to get up,’ says her father at 6.15.
She is lucky to be able to jump out of bed. She takes a
quick shower, dries herself, cleans her teeth and combs
her hair. Sometimes she uses her electric hair curler to
look pretty during the day. It’s a hard question what to
pút on in the moming. She likes bright colours because
she thinks they energise her, which is important to
her. She puts somé make-up on her face and she is
ready. ’I’ll have somé breakfast and then I’ll leave
fór school,’ she thinks to herself. She is always the
first to arrive, so she has enough time to go through
her homework. After the lessons she has lunch at the
school canteen. She and her friends go fór a short walk in the nearby park to relax a bit and
laugh a lót. She has basketball training three times a week in the aftemoons. She studies at
home until 6:30 or so. Sharon’s family always have dinner together. They never watch TV
until they finish eating. They clear the table and wash up together. Sharon reads either short
stories, poems or magazines in bed. She falls asleep at about ten o ’clock and sleeps soundly
till the next moming.

2. Do you have a big breakfast?

3. How long does it take you to get to school?

5. What after-school activities do you do in the aftemoon?

6. How do you relax when you get home?

7. How long do you study fór the next day?

8. Do you have dinner/supper together with your family?

9. When do you use the computer during the day?

breakfast with the family. You ask her fór a sandwich to take with

You are staying at your nephew’s fór one month in summer. Ask

Travelling at home and abroad
A long time ago people travelled on horseback
or in horse-driven carriages. Today they fly on
passenger planes to faraway countries, or go on a
cruise on luxury yachts to exotic places, or sit in
the cár and off they go just to call on their pals.
It’s pleasant and fást to travel on motorways. You
can avoid busy city centers, crossroads, zebra
crossings, where you have to stop and give way
to pedestrians. If you want to see the wonders of
your country, there is always a lót to see. It is great
that you understand the language of the people
around you, and you can get information easily. When you arrive in a piacé, you can stay in
a boarding house or a small hotel. After having a big breakfast, you can go sightseeing and
enjoy yourselves walking around the town. People who travel to big cities can spend their
nights in different kinds of accomodation; hotels, motels, boarding houses, apartments and
campsites, etc. In summer time those who lőve physical exercise ride their bicycle touring the
country. Others take their motorcycles out of the garage to enjoy freedom and the beauties of
the countryside.

Travelling

Globetrotters
If you hear the word ’travel’, you associate it with a wonderful activity that you do during your
holiday. On the other hand, a great number of people travel just because it is part of their life,
the way they make their living. Pilots, captains, stewardesses, tourist guides and businessmen
travel from country to country. They cover thousands of miles month after month while they
can see the wonders of the world too. You fly to distant parts of the globe to see how people
live there, what their culture, architecture, folklóré, history and cuisine are like. At other
times you fly to take pleasure in the sights of magnificent mountains, waterfalls, fjords, lakes,
forests, rare animal species, unique plants or colourful fishes around coral reefs. People alsó
travel because they want to enjoy special sports that they can’t do at home. They drive up to
the mountain top on a snowy winding road because sliding down the piste provides them with
considerable excitement. Animal lovers spend a fortune on travelling to see their favourites
living in their natural habitat, e.g. in a jungle or on a prairie. A great majority of women and
mén tour the world because they are devoted to the throbbing of metropolises where one can
find a very special atmosphere only there and nowhere else.

2. How can one find the right sort of accommodation?

3. What sorts of presents do you buy fór your friends abroad before visiting them?

Being health-conscious
Christina is absolutely health conscious. She works at an office, and as a result she doesn’t
move too much during the day. She starts her day the with a glass o f pure of orange juice, then
she has a bowl o f cereals with somé milk or a carton of yoghurt and a banana. At around noon
she has a light lunch with somé fruit, and somé salad fór supper. She pays special attention
to her diet as she is prone to pút on weight in a short time. Three times a week she goes to
an aerobics course to keep in perfect shape. She is determined to lead a healthy way of life
because both her mother and grandma suffer from obesity. Due to that, they have a sort of

The importance of sports


’lt’s so delightful to see our grandchildren
taking part in competitions,’ said Mr. Smith
to his wife sitting in the grandstand. It was
a rainy aftemoon bút he and his wife were
cheering enthusiastically fór their nine-year-
old grandson, who was competing in the 100
metre backstroke. Sam came second and
his grandma and grandpa were really proud
of him. They have five granddaughters and
Sam is the only boy. When Mr. and Mrs.
Smith were young parents, they spent a lót o f their time taking their children
either to the running track, the football pitch, the tennis court, the swimming pool or the ice
rink. They wanted them to leam discipline, how to struggle until they are out o f breath and to
make them realise how strong their wills were. Once their eldest daughter won a gold medál
in the 400 metres at a national athletics championship. Her other siblings played sports just to
be fit and have fun besides studying fór long hours at their writing desks. ’I hope,’ said Mrs.
Smith, ’our youngsters will become as energetic and well-organised adults as their parents are. ’
After the competition, Sam was invited to the nearby book shop by the elderly couple and
was presented with a large sports manual he had wanted fór a lóg time.

Lovers of sports
The Brandons are lovers o f outdoor sports. Whenever they have the opportunity, they pút
a few indispensable items in a backpack, sit in their cár and off they go. They drive to their
cottage which is located at the foot of a mountain very close to the sea. When the weather is
pleasant, they go sailing, ride their streamlined motor boát anchored in the harbour or do somé
windsurfmg. When they sail out with somé friends, the mén angle and the ladies just enjoy
sunshine, the peace or the murmur o f the waves. They are nőt stuck in their comfortable and
cosy home, even if it’s drizzling or when the sky is gloomy. They call up somé friends and go
fór a stroll in the mountains. After such activities, they invite them to a nice dinner. In most
cases they grill salmon or other sorts of fish. Both the women and the mén help the housewife
to prepare a delicious meal. During their one-month summer vacation, they go rock climbing
or hiking, enjoy ing the beauty of the waterfalls. They prefer active holidays. Mr. Brandon is
an adventure seeker, that’s why he and his pals are fond o f exploring the nearby caves. When
he celebrated his 50th birthday, he did bungee jumping to prove to himself that he was still
brave enough to do such an activity. ’The release o f endorphins triggered in this way makes
me feel good. I wish I was fit enough fór another flfty years,’ said Mr. Brandon, who still
looks as if he was in his mid-thirties.

Services in a small town
Juliet’s parents live in a very small town. She spent
her childhood there. She clearly remembers that
most roads were cobbled, and only somé o f them
covered with asphalt. There was no drainage system
anywhere, even the Street lights were missing in
somé parts of the piacé where she was bőm. When
someone got seriously ill, they had to be taken to the
nearest city as in the local surgery they couldn’t be
treated properly due to the lack o f special medical
instruments. Once a taxi business was set up, bút
in half a year it went bankrupt because o f the low
number o f passengers. Bicycles and priváté cars were used when people
moved from one end of the town to the other. There were only a few shops in the town centre.
A few ambitious mén and women started their own venture opening somé grocer’s shops
selling the most important items. There weren’t too many greengrocer’s as local people,
living in houses with gardens around them, grew vegetables needed fór cooking and meals.
O f course, there was a kindergarten and a primary school bút the youngsters over fourteen
had to commute between their homes and the high school located about thirty kilometres
away. Now everything seems so far away. Today Juliét lives in the Capital city with all the
possible facilities and services at hand.

A dirty coat
All this happened on a rainy autumn aftemoon. Justin, who had arrived in a large city only fór
a meeting, decided to go to a restaurant to have a laté lunch at the end of a busy day. On the
way there, he was walking along a busy Street when, out of the blue, a cár ran intő a big pool
splashing his brand new autumn coat. He became edgy because he could hardly wait to sit
down in a cosy restaurant to have a glass of beer. Instead, he made his way to his hotel where
he was offered to have his coat dry cleaned within an hour. While his coat was being cleaned,
he went out to the city centre wearing a new jacket he was able to borrow free of charge from
the hotel. He was really satisfied with the service. As he was strolling in the streets, he entered
several shops and public places where the staff working there were all ready to help him. The
doors of pastry shops, Internet cafés, book shops, clubs, banks were wide open to provide
local people and visitors with their services. As time passed by, Justin went back to pick up
his clean coat in the hotel where a pretty woman was waiting fór her tűm at the receptionist.
He had never seen such an attractive lady before. He couldn’t help making a remark on the
rainy weather. After about quarter of an hour, they found themselves chatting without a break.
Justin will always remember that day because they have been together since then, fór more
than twenty years.

Snacks and dinner parties


Both Pamela and Jason are white-collar workers obsessed with their jobs. They are fond of
dinner parties because they think it’s a good way to socialise and of course, have excellent
meals. Pamela’s mother pút great emphasis on teaching her teenage daughter how to cook.
Being a lawyer, Pamela doesn’t have much time to spend in the kitchen. When it’s their tűm
to invite their best friends to a potluck dinner, Pam prepares one of her specialities. In spite of
this, there is always a great variety of dishes on the big óval table, as the guests coming round
usually bring a plate o f something with them. ’Variety is the spice of life,’ says Pam. ’The
fact that all o f us work from moming to evening doesn’t mean that we spend all the weekend
trying to recover our strength. In this way we have a great time enjoying ourselves.’ On
weekday momings they go to a café to have a cup of cappuccino with somé hot freshly baked
cakes and then rush to their offices. Having hectic days, they eat a quick snack, or sometimes
even skip lunch. In order to be in good shape fór the rest of the day, they have a cup of coffee
or tea or somé fruit. On weekdays Pam’s husband often takes his wife to a restaurant where
they spend an hour or two at a table with candles on it. Before going to bed, they go fór a short
walk regardless o f how laté they arrive home.

Doing the weekend shopping


Last Saturday my mother woke me up after eight
o ’clock in the moming. The sün was shining
brightly high up in the sky. ’Good moming, my
darling, do you feel like coming with me to do the
weekend shopping?’ she asked me smiling. After a
quick breakfast, we made our way to the markét.
There were lots of markét women selling their fresh
vegetables and flowers. ’Let’s buy somé shiny red
tomatoes, crispy green peppers, carrots, onions,
a head of cabbage, a big watermelon and an egg
plánt,’ Mom suggested. After that we drove to a
non-stop hypermarket to continue shopping. We went in through a tumstile.
It took about an hour until we had all the items needed in our trolley. ’lt’s good to have
everything under the same roof,’ I thought to myself. We bought somé dairy and bakery
products, stationery, toiletries, two jars of coffee, four batteries, three cartons o f pure fruit
juice, a few bottles of mineral water and somé dog chow too. At the cash desk we didn’t have
to queue long to pay fór the goods we bought. ’You see,’ said Mom, ’it’s easy to spend money
bút it takes time and a lót o f energy to eam it.’

Buying a new clock, meeting an old friend
Yesterday I went to a shop to buy a clock. I badly needed it because I had decided to improve
my timing skill. The shop assistant was quite helpful, showing me at least ten different sorts
to please me. To my surprise, there were clocks decorated with hearts, flowers, bears even
with little balloons. I didn’t like any o f them because I found them really kitschy. Meanwhile
the shopkeeper arrived grumbling, seeming quite annoyed. ’I have just been fined because I
had no parking ticket in the cár. I had only spent a couple o f minutes in a nearby grocer’s shop
buying one. By the time I got back, a ticket in a transparent red plastic bag had been placed
on my windscreen,’ he said to his colleague. When he looked at me, I recognised him at once.
’Hi there, old mate,’ he said smiling. ’I haven’t seen you fór ages,’ he added. As we were
talking about the good old days, he showed me somé clocks o f the latest collection he had
just brought from the Wholesale store. There was a nicely designed high quality one, which
appealed to me. T l l give you twenty percent discount as you are an old friend o f m ine,’ he
said, wrapping up the clock and putting a nice decoration on it too.

Thunder and lightning


The birds are singing. It’s time to go out and ride
a bike, although the wind is blowing a bit.’ Quite
unexpectedly, dark clouds appeared in the sky. ’Oh,
it can’t be true,’ she thought. When she realised the
birds had stopped singing and the sky had become
completely grey, she changed her mind. Suddenly
she heard a clap of thunder and saw a flash of
lightning too. She ran intő the house to close all the
windows and unplug all the eleetrical appliances.
Through the windows she could see it was pouring
with rain. A second later the house got struck by
lightning followed by an earsplitting clap. As a result, the TV set,
the dishwasher, the computer and the brand new washing machine all broke down. Molly
spent nearly a month trying to have everything fixed and get the money as compensation
from the insurance company.

Describe your favourite season in an essay of 100-120 words. (Colours, plants, animals, humán
activities and your preference.)
Warm and cold fronts
A lót of people think summer is the best season because they can go on holiday. It favours
outdoor sports, people wear light clothes, tourism starts to flourish, sunbathers appear and
so do delicious fruits. It’s true summers are extremely hot nowadays. When travelling on
public transport, sometimes you catch the smell of perspiration, which is really disturbing.
Excessive amounts o f sunshine can cause allergic symptoms or even skin cancer. Our mood
and behaviour are effected by weather too. We tend to be lazier when a heatwave arrives, so
we need to drink a coffee, or somé refreshment to get ready fór intensive work. Sometimes a
little doze can help as well, though of course nőt at work. On rainy days when the sky is grey,
our mood becomes similar. We can easily get highly strung or edgy, nőt to mention those who
have a headache or what’s even worse; a migraine. Most of us are sensitive to weather when
there is a sharp fali or rise in temperature, and the ambulance is more frequently called. How
to cope with the symptoms caused by weather changes? O f course, you can take a pill, bút
what fór? There is something which is really efficient and costs nothing; a good laugh.

1. W hat’s the weather like in summer/winter?

2. Are you sensitive to cold/warm fronts?

3. How often does it hail where you live?

4. Do you agree that weather forecasts are always accurate?

5. How does the weather affect agriculture?

6. What natural disasters have you heard about recently?

7. Where can you find information about weather?

8. If you plán a two-week holiday, do you check the weather forecast fór that period in
advance?

9. What special items do you pút in your suitcase if you travel to a hot/cold country?

1 0 . How do you protect yourself in those countries from extreme weather?

Protecting your surroundings


Kevin was standing by the window watching the rain.
The sky was dull and gloomy, consequently there
was nőt much hope that he could go out fór a picnic
with his friends. ’Let’s do something useful after it
has stopped raining. I’ll give a ring to somé of my
schoolmates to get together and do something fór
our environment,’ he thought. All of his buddies and
classmates he called were really enthusiastic about
it. Environmental problems were a highlighted issue
in lessons, so all the girls and boys concemed were
aware of the importance of doing something fór
their surroundings. They arrived at the park on the outskirts on time
to make themselves useful. They brought rakes and a variety of plastic bags with them. They
pút on gloves to protect their hands. The previous days had been quite windy, as a result,
there was a lót o f litter all over the grass and the flower beds there. They worked in small
teams picking litter. As Kevin was the main organiser, he was considered leader of the bunch
of young people who had turnéd up to do voluntary work. After a couple of hours, the whole
park looked a very tidy piacé again. After they had fmished work, they washed their hands
thoroughly and sat down on the grass taking their sandwiches out of their bags. It was a great
feeling that they were able to do something good that day.

Having a lót on our plate


Boris máj őrs in environmental protection at university. He and his university mates are
anxious about the future of the blue plánét. Nőt only do they have discussions in lectures
and seminars about nature-related problems bút they have heated debates about the possible
solutions at informál meetings or even over a pint of beer in a pub. What they all agree on is
that it is humán society that is responsible fór nearly all environmental problems. ’Man-made
environmental disasters like soil, water, and air pollution, the extinction of somé animal and
plánt species, the excessive emission of exhaust fumes, the greenhouse effect, the depletion
of the ozone layer and global warming could alsó be reduced or minimised if the attitűdé of
consumer society to natúré and its eagemess to make more and more profit could be drastically
changed. A large number of floods could be avoided by stopping deforestation. Huge areas
of forest could be saved if trees weren’t cut down just to profit from using wood as building
material. The enormous amount o f acid rain, which is caused by the immense quantity of
carbon and sulphur dioxide emitted during production in heavy industry and by cars that
individuals use, should be decreased substantially too. Anyway, we have a lót on our plate
conceming the outcome o f natural disasters like hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, avalanches and forest fires. I am afraid we have an endless list to mention,’ added
Boris gulping his beer down.

1. In what way is the individual responsible fór the environment?

2. How could we protect our forests?

3. What are the most worrying environmental problems of the 21 st century?

4. How are the rivers/the air/the soil in Hungary polluted?

5. What can schools do to make children more environment-conscious?

Barbara was bőm in a little town, where she lived
fór ten years. Later her family moved to the Capital
because her father started to work as a manager of a
large company. Barbara didn’t like the change at all
because she had to say goodbye to all of her friends
living in her hometown. Every second weekend the
whole family went back to the little town to visit
Barbara’s grandparents and her little dog, which had
been left with them. Right after arriving at their piacé,
they had a delicious three-course lunch at a neatly
laid table. After that they had a relaxed conversation
fór about three hours or so. When they got back to
the capital, their lifestyles went back to normál. Her father and mother mshed to work by
cár the next moming, and a bit later Barbara went to school on a crowded bús. The family
got together only early in the evening. They had a quick supper and talked about the most
important events there had been during the day. Afterwards everybody went intő their room
either to work or study. In spite of the fact that Barbara was quite tired from training too
hard, she started to prepare fór the next day’s chemistry test. ’I wish I could live in my old
hometown where everything is so peaceful,’ she thought.

hotel park. In the aftemoon the couple spent somé time in the thermal spa and had a relaxing
másságé to recharge their batteries. Fortunately, the weather being fine, the family did somé
hiking in the picturesque forest and socialised with the other guests. In the aftemoons they

had such an enjoyable holiday that they decided to go back to the piacé the next year too.

download music, chat, send emails, play games and so on. In the older generation there
are people who are technophobic, consequently they dislike using any kind of appliance, nőt
to mention the computer. The young generation are considered technophiles. They start their
days by checking their emails and then read the latest news on the Internet or listen to music
on their computers while preparing fór school and having breakfast. If you have the Internet
access in your mobile, your pocket is the piacé where the whole world can be found - at least

Taking the m otorw ay


Without doubt, taking the motorway is by far the
fastest way of travelling by road today. To find the
way out o f a town or a large city is always a sort
o f challenge to me. There is a GPS in my cár bút
I rarely use it. I prefer keeping an eye on traffic
and road signs saying which direction or lane to
choose, what obstacles to pay attention to or where
you will come across construction works. Having
left the city, there is no reál problem fór motorists.
Make sure you pay to use the toll motorway where
this is a must. You can pay fór a toll sticker either at
a fdling station or do it online. The most comfortable way is via your mobile phone which is
always in your pocket or bag. You mustn't miss the motorway access road which leads you to
the expressway very easily. When driving, keep to the maximum speed limit, otherwise you
may be fined fór speeding. When you get tired and want to relax, stop at a service area where
sandwiches, cakes, coffee and refreshments are sold. When you are close to your destination,
take the exit lane and leave the motorway at the big exit sign.

1. What means o f public transport do you have in the piacé where you live?

2. Which are the ones you use on an everyday basis?

3. Do you have to leave home earlier due to moming traffic jams?

4. How much time do you spend travelling/commuting daily?


Public Transport

5. Where do you buy a monthly ticket?

6. How often do accidents happen in your town?

7. What about the quality of roads?

8. Is there a cycle path network?

9. Is it easy to park your cár in the city centre?

1 0 . Do drivers give way to pedestrians at the zebra Crossing?

You are travelling on a bús. There is an elderly lady who can hardly
A)
get on or walk. You offer your seat to her.

You are buying an underground ticket. As you have no map around


B) you, you ask the lady in the booking office how to get to the piacé
where there is a sight you want to see.

You would like to leam to drive a cár. You are going to a driving
C) school to ask the secretary about a course. Try to get as much
information about the course as possible.

City transport
Mr. Jenkins is a professor at a university. To get to work on time, he wakes up one hour earlier
than he needs to avoid the moming conjestion and the traffic jams in the city centre. When he
started his career, he used public transport because in that way he could savé somé time and
money spent on travelling. As years went by, he was able to afford to buy a reliable cár. Petrol
was relatively cheap, so he could enjoy driving to work every day. Since then he has changed
his cár a few times. Although it takes him longer to cover the distance between his home and
his workplace, he feels comfortable and safe driving an air-conditioned cár of his own. On the
way to university, sometimes he is stuck in traffic jams in spite of the fact that he wakes up at
5:30 a.m. It happens that there is an accident or a bottle-neck in a road where the traffic cannot
pass through easily. A delay is expected when the road is being repaired, due to which one of
the lanes is closed to motorists. At other times one can see leamers from a driving school in
slowly moving cars. Professor Jenkins is a polite and patient driver who always gives way
to pedestrians wishing to cross the road at the zebra-crossing. On somé days there are traffic
signs by the road teliing you to drive at a low speed due to the big potholes in the road surface.
’Maybe I should take my bicycle out o f the garage to get to work quicker,’ he thought.

1. Are you satisfied with the public transport services in your town?

2. If you travel long distances, what means o f transport do you prefer?

3. Who do you consider a good driver?

4. Do people in Hungary keep to the speed limit?

5. What are roundabouts good fór?

6. What are the advantages and disadvantages of travelling by car/bus?

7. What parts o f the cár can you mention?

8. What parts o f the bicycle can you name?

9. How would you make local transport fór passengers safer?

1 0 . Are drivers in your town polite?


You have just witnessed an accident at the crossroads. A policeman
is asking you about what you have seen. Teli him about it.

You and your friend are having a chat about the local transport.
Compare the various modes of it in your town/city.

You and your friend from Britain are talking about the road network
in Hungary. Present them somé facts and your opinion about it.

Having a great time
Somé people prefer more reserved ways of
entertainment, meaning that they don’t need a
large group of peers around them to have a good
experience or to be in high spirits. They are the ones
who visit art galleries to see the latest exhibition
of modem or classical art or those who pick up
their cameras to take photos of moments of humán
behaviour or wild life. Others simply take pleasure
in the babbling of a brook. Alsó, there are people
who paint or draw pictures, which give them
precious moments. Let’s nőt forget about those who
prepare delicious meals fór a family occasion. The way they lay the table and serve the finely
decorated dishes fór a reunion can be considered a sort of art. This is the way they prepare
the background fór having a special time. There are mothers, fathers and grandparents, who
entertain their children and grandchildren with songs, stories and poems or take them to
museums, galleries, observatories, libraries and theatres. Their aim is to entertain as well as
to educate. This is what can be considered a reál intellectual send off.

Entertainment in cities
Cities provide a wide choice of entertainment fór both local people and visitors. There are
cinemas, theatres, open air festivals, opera houses, concert halls, casinos, bars, discos, wine
and beer festivals and what have you. Today people spend a good deal of money on having
a great time. When you go out you can come across somé old friends and colleagues you
haven’t seen fór ages. If you decide to go to the cinema or theatre to see a comedy you forget
about hardships, somehow you find yourself in a new ’dimension’, a problem-free zone.
What I enjoy about comedies is that you laugh a lót together with others and this quickly
raises the level of your mood. There are concerts that should be mentioned where thousands
of young people get together to listen to their favourite bánd or singer. It is an exceptional
experience. You enjoy the music, the rhythm, the sound effects, and the special voice of your
favourites. What you see is eyecatching: the lights, the clothes and additionally there is the
whole atmosphere. By the end of the concert you are in seventh heaven until the next workday
when you have to face the difficulties of the rat race again.

1. How often do you socialise?

2. What is your opinion about buying lottery coupons or going to horse races?

3. What types of entertainment do teenagers prefer?

4. What activities do middle-aged people do to have fun?

5. What personal qualities are needed fór fishing?

6. What activities do you like doing in spring, summer, autumn and winter?

7. Apart from having a great time, what else does entertainment mean to you?

8. What types of relaxation suit your parents?

9. What kinds of entertainment do you offer your guests at a birthday party, dancing
apart?

1 0 . Why is it dangerous to start gambling?

A fashion show
Ms. Hill is in her early forties and is interested in
fashion. She doesn’t have several wardrobes full
of unused dresses, jackets, trousers and shoes,
instead she has a few pieces o f clothes of high
quality fór every season. As she is a manageress
at a company, she is supposed to wear a suit at
work. She doesn’t mind it because this is the
part of her style. One day she was invited to a
fashion show. She and her daughter were quite
pleased to be spending their Saturday aftemoon
enjoying the programme where they could see so
many finely designed dresses. Thin models were walking up and down the long catwalk
wearing both bizarre outfits and clothes fór everyday wear. Only very few suits were shown.
Her daughter, eighteen years of age, was fascinated by somé of the dresses. ’All the items
are very special bút I prefer my denim skirt and jacket,’ she remarked to her mother smiling.
A couple of hours later they made their way to a pastry shop to have somé cakes and ice
cream.

Write a letter o f 150-180 words to your friend, in which you teli them your opinion about various
kinds of trendy body art. (Piercing, tattoo, jewellery, make-up and hair colour, etc.)
1. No, we always have a big breakfast. We start with a glass of pure orange or apple juice.
We prefer ham and eggs, although sometimes we have frankfurters too. We alsó have
a mug of green tea with lemon juice and honey. Before breakfast my mother makes us
somé sandwiches that we just pick up before leaving fór school.

2. It’s my mother who gets up at an early hour to prepare a nice breakfast fór us. She says
that a good start makes your day perfect. At the weekends it’s different. My father alsó
helps her, he slices up the bread, sausages and cold cuts and my brother and I lay and
clear the table.

3. Three main meals, such as breakfast, lunch and supper or dinner. After breakfast I feel
full, bút in spite o f this fact, I alsó have my mid-moming snack. At about four o’clock,
I have my mid-aftemoon sandwich with an apple or a banana. If the weather is cold, I
drink a cup o f green tea too, which helps me concentrate much better.

4. We have our lunch at home. As our grandma lives with us, she cooks fór the whole
family every day. Besides, in this way we can savé somé money too. When we celebrate
birthdays, we always go out to our favourite restaurant in the neighbourhood to have
something delicious.

5. Well, if you eat at a canteen, you can savé a lót of time because on the one hand, you
don’t need to spend half an hour or more buying the ingredients of your lunch, on the
other hand, it only takes thirty minutes to have your midday meal. No doubt, the quality
of what you eat is nőt always the best. You don’t need to do the washing up though.

6. My favourite dish is chicken paprika with sour cream, noodles and somé fresh cucumber
salad. I have it at least once or twice a month.

7. My mother cooks it, mainly at the weekends. All the family are keen on this meal, so
we always eat the whole dish up. There’s nothing left in the big pót fór our dog except
fór the bones. It’s great to have it at home as my mom pays a lót of attention to the
decoration of the dishes and the table too.

8. Sure, both o f them go to the markét in tums almost every weekend to get somé fresh
and good quality vegetables. In this way my grandma can savé somé money, as she
likes to bargain. Besides, she can socialise a bit there too.

9. I prefer buying vegetables at the greengrocer’s on the comer as I’m always very busy
and I don’t need to waste my time going to the markét in the city centre. When I do the
shopping at the hypermarkets, I alsó buy somé carrots, tomatoes and onions, provided
they are fresh.

10. Our school has no canteen. Once I was at one, which reminded me of a restaurant. Its
atmosphere and neatness were really impressive. The windows were large, thus the
canteen was very light. There were even paintings and pictures on the walls. You could
alsó see potted plants with big, shiny leaves in the comers.

1. Normally it’s my mom, who goes to a big supermarket once a month to buy all the
necessary things we need, e.g. washing powder, serviettes, dairy products, cold cuts,
mineral water, coffee and light bulbs, etc. We buy bread, rolls and milk at the comer
shop almost daily or every second day. When we need vegetables, my mother and
grandma go to the markét, or they send me to the nearest greengrocer’s.

2. We go to hypermarkets, supermarkets, grocer’s, greengrocer’s, electrical shops, shoe


shops, clothes shops, stationer’s, florist’s, baker’s, PC shops, and pastry shops.

3. In my opinion, if you want to savé somé money, do your shopping at a supermarket.


First o f all, there’s a large variety of goods you can choose from. There are always
sales, where you can buy products at reduced or low prices. Service is quite quick at the
cold cuts and the meat counters. Comer shops are usually small places with a friendly
atmosphere where prices are higher and staff are very polite. We prefer privately owned
small shops because we live quite close to a piacé like that and we are absolutely
satisfied with the service there.

4. We feel really lucky because there’s a non-stop shop in our neighbourhood. In spite of
the fact that we do the weekly shopping, there are always somé things we forget to buy.
It’s quite comfortable just to go round to the non-stop shop on a laté Sunday aftemoon.
O f course, their prices are higher, bút when you really need something urgently, you
don’t mind pay ing extra.

5. She goes to the markét every week because there’s a wide choice of fresh vegetables.
Since our family is quite big, she always buys a lót of carrots, onions, radishes, tomatoes,
green peppers, potatoes and somé heads o f lettuce. All of us prefer having something
green with our meals.
6. As the prices at our school canteen are a bit high, I rarely buy anything there. Except fór
a situation when I feel too hungry, and I have nothing to eat in my bag. Usually I make
my sandwiches at home early in the moming.

7. My favourite type of shop assistant is, first of all, polite. They know all the features of
the product I want. They need to be patient, and I expect them nőt to try to persuade me
to buy something I don’t want to have.

8. My mom does the weekly shopping at a hypermarket, and my mom and dad do the
monthly shopping together in the same piacé. They always say it’s worth going there,
as you can buy everything under the same roof, besides you can savé money and time
as well.

9. As my grandma makes cakes every weekend, I rarely go to a pastry shop. This happens
when I meet my friends. We spend an hour or two in a piacé like that having somé
strawberry cakes, strudels, or sponge cakes with a cup of hot chocolate or fruit tea.

10. Fortunately, I am. Well, I don’t say I always resist the temptation to open my purse, bút
I never waste my money on anything useless. I only buy things I need.

1. My favourite month is August. It’s because I lőve summer, especially sunshine, and
there is no school. As I’m fond of fruit, I can have as much as I want at this time of the
year. Additionally, in August you can go fór trips and outings since the weather is still
great.

2. The sün is shining and the temperature is 20 C. Despite the fact that the wind is blowing
a bit, I lőve it. If I didn’t have to study fór my history progress test, I would go out
skateboarding. Luckily, the weather forecast says it will be sunny tomorrow too, so I
will be able to have fun with my friends outdoors.

3. Two days ago it was really cold and gloomy. We couldn’t see the sün, which made us
feel depressed and tired. By the end of the day, it even started to snow a bit.

4. Absolutely, if the weather is fine, I’m cheerful and optimistic. When I wake up to the
pattering o f rain, or when the temperature is low, I get intő a bad mood. I haté the long
winter months as I’m always freezing.

5. I turn on somé lights in the house as well as the colourful standing lamp in the sitting
room. Bright colours raise my spirits. I pút flowers or at least a small potted plánt in
the middle o f the table. I f i have somé free time, I go to the gym. Good music, pals and
physical exercise cheer me up.

6. When the temperature is high, I feel in good shape. I go cycling or jogging with my
dog. When it’s low, I alsó go jogging or get somé physical exercise in the garden. I
meet my friends after I have done my homework. O f course, I alsó help my parents if
there’s somé work in and around the house. I’m fond o f reading and doing crossword
puzzles.

7. On cold days I wear warm clothes, such as pullovers, sweat shirts, jeans, jackets, coats,
gloves, caps and boots, and when it snows, I have heavy boots on. On hot days it’s
enough to pút on a light summer dress. I alsó prefer denim shorts or skirts, with T-shirts
and sandals or slippers.

8. Yes, several times. The most beautiful one I’ve ever seen was over the cathedral in my
city on a laté summer aftemoon.

9. When it’s raining, it’s nőt hard fór me to study, as outside there’s nőt much to distract
my attention from what I have to focus on. I’m quite quick on the uptake when there
are no disturbing noises down the Street as the people are alsó at home.

10. On rainy weekends my family and I visit our relatives. Sometimes we go to the country-
side by cár, or stay at home and go to see a film or an exhibition. It’s much more
exciting when the sky is blue and the temperature is above 18-20 C. We go on picnics
with other families whom we have known fór ages. It’s always good fun to be together
with them as there are other girls and boys of my age.
1. Skipping breakfast is quite a bad habit. A lót of people do this because they either get
up very early when they are still very sleepy or they are always in a hurry, so they only
have something hot with a slice of toast at the very beginning of their day. They should
know that coffee or strong tea on an empty stomach is unhealthy. It is dangerous too
because by doing so, one can develop certain diseases in the long run.

2. Doing physical exercises either in the moming or aftemoon raises your energy level.
Aftemoon sports activities are said to be better because by this time your body
temperature is higher, so it’s easier to raise your energy level. As fór me, I go jogging,
ride my bike or go fór a walk with my dog.

3. I always have fruit or salad between the main meals. I rarely eat any snacks. As I am
health conscious, I pay special attention to nőt having sweets or goodies at all, and after
lunch and dinner, I always eat apples.

4. A sensible eater starts their day with a glass of pure fruit or vegetable juice. They are
aware of the calorie content of what they consume. They buy organic food and try to
avoid the use o f the microwave oven fór cooking. They are aware of the amount of food
they eat and always have meals made from fresh meat or vegetables.

5. Most people prefer starting their lunch with somé soup, which is followed by a light
main course. They eat lean meat, fish or poultry with organic vegetables. However, a
good number of people choose something filling if they do hard physical work. Don’t
ever eat too much fór dinner or supper. Make sure you have your last meal of the day at
around six or seven at the latest.

6. If you want to improve the quality of your diet, buy organic food. Meals made from
fresh meat, fruits and vegetables are the best fór your health. You can even make bread
at home. Meals containing unsaturated fát alsó help you keep in good shape. Stay away
from unhealthy foods that contain preservatives and other sorts of additives.

7. Those who need to bum fát because of their weight need to do two workouts a day, one
in the moming and one in the aftemoon. In our demanding and busy world those who
eat a lót because of being overstressed, should take somé serious exercise every day.
As fór their diet, they should avoid eating fatty food and meals high in carbohydrate.
Instead, the consumption of somé fruit and vegetables is recommended.
8. Being vegetarian is quite widespread today. There are different types of such a diet.
Somé people eat no meat, milk or eggs. Others eat no meat products, bút they eat eggs.
People belonging to a third group eat no meat and eggs, bút somé dairy products can be
found on their table. The diet o f the people in the fourth group contains any food except
meat. The fifth type we call semi-vegetarianism, which suggests they eat fish, poultry,
dairy products and eggs.

9. Mood food means a kind of food that can have an affect on how you feel. ’You are what
you eat’, as the saying goes. What we have affects us both physically and mentally.
Foods high in fibre help you be more optimistic and energetic. Consequently, you may
feel less exhausted, depressed or stressed. Chocolate, among other things, is said to
make you happier and more cheerful.

1 0 . My favourite dish is pancake a la Hortobágy. All you need is somé eggs, flour, milk
or soda water and somé oil fór making the pancakes. Pút somé ground meat, chopped
onion, a bit of oil and salt, garlic, red pepper and sour cream in a saucepan and boil this
mixture fór thirty minutes. After you have fried the pancakes, fül them with somé of the
mixture.

1. In my opinion, if you give a gift to someone who is important to you, wrap it up in


colourful paper. I think special little decorations make your present even more attractive.
This way you can express your lőve and respect too.

2. I personally prefer shops that sell cosmetic items. When I’m there I simply forget about
time. To spend two hours there would be no problem fór me at all. As fór my brother,
he would be absolutely delighted to be left in a PC shop fór 120 minutes.

3. I use cash to pay in shops. My parents give me a reasonable amount of pocket money.
They are of the opinion that fór a teenager like me, this is the safest way to pay fór
something I buy. In case you lose somé of your pocket money, it ’hurts’, bút nőt that
much. Unlike the situation when you carry your bank card with you and somehow it
gets lost. This causes a great deal of trouble to you. On the other hand, paying by card
is very convenient and usefiil. My parents prefer to pay by card.

4. Hypermarkets are noisy places in contrast with small shops where there is soft music or
no music at all. In spacious hypermarkets you have enough room to walk up and down
with your trolley even if they are crowded. It’s nőt always easy to get information about
the product you are looking fór. Small shops are usually crowded because so many
different kinds of goods are sold in a relatively small piacé. In compensation fór that,
you can turn to smiling and helpful shop assistants fór advice.
Sample Answers

Generally, women’s favourite shops are ones where they can buy clothes, shoes,
jewellery, household goods or cosmetic items, while mén prefer shops where electrical,
PC or sports goods can be bought. They alsó enjoy spending time at cár showrooms.

When people get addicted to buying things, one day they realise they are unable to
leave a pretty pullover or dress on the counter. It’s true advertisements and commercials
suggest purchasing everything you long fór, bút you should use your brain before you
buy. In my opinion it’s people’s way of thinking that creates such an addiction.

E-shopping can be advantageous because all you need to do is turn on your computer
and make your order, provided you have enough money in your bank account. It’s really
simple. On the other hand, you must be careful about providing your bank account data
as it may be misused by people in somé cases.

Disposable goods are practical because after you have used them, you get rid of them.
No need to wash or dry them. Just think of the paper plates, tableclothes and plastic
cutlery you use at parties. They can be recycled.

Commercials and advertisements promote the sales of goods. If a product has just
been launched on to the markét, customers can get familiar with the new brand via
advertising on TV or in newspapers and magazines.

To me the most important characteristic of a product is its quality. High quality


commodities are nőt cheap, bút in the long run they may be considered inexpensive
since usually they are long-lasting.

In summer there are thunderstorms with flashes of lightning, bút in most cases it’s
really sweltering. When it hails, farmers are worried about their crops. Fór city dwellers
hot summers are nőt always pleasant, especially on housing estates where the buildings
become overheated. Snowy winters can cause traffic problems mostly if it snows fór
days and weeks. Accidents can happen anywhere where the roads are slippery.

No, absolutely nőt. I feel ’privileged’ nőt to be affected by either cold or hot fronts.
Both of my parents suffer from heat waves. Although they are against taking pilis, still
there are times when only tablets fór headaches can help them.

Fortunately, it rarely hails in the region where we live. Still, it can cause considerable
damage. We are dreadfully upset to see the hail-hit fields.

Somé weather forecasts are absolutely reliable. With the help of the Net you can follow
the latest predictions fór the whole world.
5. If there’s too much rain, it’s bad fór agriculture. If there’s too little, plants dry out.
Agriculture depends heavily on weather conditions. In this way economy is alsó
affected by extreme weather changes.

6. Unfortunately, we have heard about several natural disasters in the world recently.
There have been floods, volcano eruptions, storms, earthquakes, tsunamis and a couple
of years ago there was a drought in our country when the majority of the agricultural
crops dried out.

7. On TV, the radio, the Internet, in newspapers and on digital displays in streets. You can
alsó buy small weather forecast gadgets, which show the temperature both inside and
outside your home and the predicted weather conditions fór the next day.

8. O f course I do. I always try to fm d a reJiabJe weather forecast portai where I can check
what kind o f weather we will have during our two-week holiday. In most cases they
predict the weather changes quite successfully.

9. I fi travel to a hot country, I always pút a pair of goggles, a bikini, a straw hat, binoculars,
somé mosquito repellent spray and sunscreen in my suitcase. I f i travel to a cold country,
I pút a pair o f heavy boots, a water repellent jacket and trousers, gloves, somé de-icer
spray, a sleeping bag and o f course, warm clothes in my big travel bag.

10. In order to avoid the effects of extreme weather, you need several things. When the
temperature is extremely high, you are advised to pút on your baseball cap or a straw
hat to protect your head from UV radiation, and a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes
too. You may alsó need somé sunscreen to stop the sün from buming you.
