“What can I help you with?” - “Hey, Siri, could you call 911
because I ’m stuck under a really heavy truck. ”
This, effectively, was the conversation between an 18-year-
old man and Apple’s little helper. Sam Ray was working
under a truck when it fell on him, trapping his arms. He
shouted for help, but no one heard. Then he reportedly heard
Siri muttering from his pocket. It seems he butt-dialed her
and she wanted to know how she could help. He managed to
“push up on his hip” and then effect a 911 call.

The new fish, which was found between 1,000-1,500
metres depth, is a new species of Ceratioid anglerfish.
Three female specimens found ranged in size from 30-
95 mm in length. Tracey Sutton, Ph.D., is one of NSU’s
experts on deep-sea life. “As a researcher, the one
thing I know is that there’s so much more we can learn
about our oceans," Dr. Sutton said. “Every time we go
out on a deep-sea research excursion there’s a good
chance we’ll see something we’ve never seen before -
the life at these depths is really amazing. ”

Did Cecil the Lion bie
by Agnes Salánki and István Dezsényi
Cecil the lion, who was killed on 1st July, 2015 in Africa, was labelled as one
of Africa’s most famous lions and was something of a celebrity at Hwange
National Park in Zimbabwe. The 13-year-old black fringe maned animal was a
star attraction for tourists because of his laid-back attitude towards humans.
He could often be seen by the side of main roads through the park. He was
accustomed to people and cameras, allowing vehicles sometimes as close as
10 metres to I t s e lf , making it easy for tourists and researchers to photograph

China is the most populous country in the world with over 1.35 billion citizens.
It is also the second largest country by land area. The official name of the
sovereign state is the People’s Republic of China. The capital of the single
party state is Beijing. Besides its 22 provinces and five autonomous regions,
two special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macau, are also under
Chinese jurisdiction.

Terracotta Arm y
The terracotta warriors and horses, a huge collection
of sculptures, depict the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the
first Emperor of China. Their purpose was to protect
the emperor in the afterlife, and therefore the figures
were buried with the emperor in 210-209 BCE. The
terracotta sculptures were discovered in 1974 by local
farmers digging a well in Xi’an, Shaanxi province.
When the excavation began, archeologists found that
an entire necropolis had been built surrounding the first
emperor’s tomb. The necropolis consists of offices,
stables and halls placed around the tomb mound. The
terracotta army figures are life-sized. Their appearance
is quite diverse: eight different moulds were used for
their faces, but individual facial features were done
with clay. The army held more than 8,000 soldiers (just
imagine making all those faces!), 130 chariots with 520
horses and 150 cavalry horses according to a 2007
estimate. Non-military sculptures (officials, acrobats,
musicians) were also found in other pits. Originally,
the figures were painted bright pink, red, blue, green,
black, white, lilac and brown with a lacquer finish
increasing their realism. A small part of the terracotta
army travelled to Europe and North America and the
Yangtze River
The longest river in Asia flows 6,300 kilometres from
the glaciers of Tibet to the East China Sea. There is a
wide variety of tourist attractions, scenery and culture
along its length. The Tibetan culture and the verdant
mountains of the Source and the Upper Reaches
give way to a different experience towards the Middle
Reaches. Fengdu Ghost City is a town of tombs and
temples and is a popular stop on Yangtze River cruises
The small ancient town is mostly underwater due to
the construction of three gorges, but a large burial
and temple area can still be visited. At the site there
are brightly painted statues and frescoes depicting
hell, demons and other frightening figures. Cruising
further down the river, the Lower Reaches is where
the historic and the modern meet. Besides the quaint
ancient water towns (Zhouzhuang, Wuzhen, Xitang),
the ancient capital of Nanjing and the imperial gardens
of Hangzhou and Suzhou, there are the skyscrapers
of Shanghai symbolising modern times. The Yangtze’s
gorges are the highlights on the course of the river:
Tiger Leaping Gorge towers above 4000 metres and
the The Three Gorges are also famously beautiful.
Silk Road
The Silk Road is an ancient network of trade routes
connecting the West and the East from China and
India to the Mediterranean Sea. In 2014 UNESCO
designated the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor of the
Silk Road as a World Heritage Site. The Silk Road
derives its name from the silk trade, being the major
reason for the connection and extension of trade
routes. Nowadays, there are many tours (starting from
Beijing, for instance) exploring the routes of camel
trains, Buddhist temples, ancient architecture and the
mysteries of the historical road.
All these sights and attractions, however significant and
famous, are just a glimpse of what a traveller can find
on a trip to China. Ancient history, a diverse and spicy
cuisine, modern architecture and breathtaking scenery
are all part of this rich picture and probably everyone
can find something to be enthusiastic about.

Father Again - at 66
Billy Joel has a new muse. The “Piano Man” singer and his
wife, Alexis Roderick, welcomed their first child together - a
daughter — on 12 August, 2015. Della Rose Joel was born
at 2:40 a.m. in New York, it has been confirmed.
That means Joel has become a father for the second time
at the age of 66. His daughter with Christie Brinkley, singer
Alexa Ray Joel, is 29. She’s been the inspiration for some
of her father’s songs through the years, including “Lullabye
(Goodnight, My Angel)” and “Downeaster Alexa,” which is
about a boat he named after her.
Billy and Alexis, 33, were married on July 4 at a surprise
wedding at his sprawling Center Island, New York,
estate. The 40 or so guests thought they were attending
the singer’s annual Fourth of July barbeque, but then
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, a longtime friend,

previously an exec at Morgan Stanley, have been dating

Which Foot? Australian football (also “Aussie rules” or just “footy”
for Australians) is Down Under’s very own version
of football. It comes from early versions of rugby

and Gaelic football. It is one of the most popular
sports in Australia, with tens of thousands of people
attending league games and millions following them
nationwide. The Australian Football League (AFL) is
the professional sports league with the fourth-highest
attendance in the world.
People often say football is the most
popular sport in the world. However,
they often forget that different parts of
the world sometimes have their very own
versions of football or other unique ball
games. For an outsider, these “other”
footballs can be just as exciting as they
are strange. Let’s see what there is to love
about some of these different cultures'
own favourite sports.
Unique Traditions
The AFL doesn’t only hand out rewards for wins.
The last team in the league also receives a “ Wooden
Spoon” award.
Indigenous Australians play an important role in
Australian football. While only two per cent of the
Australian population are Indigenous, nine per cent of
AFL players belong to this group.
Australian football might sound violent, but players
wear almost no protection at all. They play in shorts
and sleeveless shirts called guernseys.
The AFL has also grown to be a symbol of patriotism .
The matches played on ANZAC Day (a national holiday
celebrating the Australian and New Zealand Army
Corps of World War I) each year attract the most
supporters apart from the Grand Final. For the first
ANZAC Day clash in 1995, that meant 94,825 people!
There is an ANZAC Medal awarded to the player who is
the best example of great skill, courage, self-sacrifice,
teamwork and fair play: that is, the ANZAC spirit.
Gaelic Football
If you say “football” in Ireland, it can easily be
understood as Gaelic football. Gaelic football is the

like a volleyball serve. Kicking is used for long distances,
and if a kick longer than 15 metres is caught by a
teammate, he gets a free kick from the spot of the catch.
Aussie rules goals are curious
things. There are two (big) goal
posts and two (small) behind
posts on the side. Kicking the
ball between the goal posts
counts as a goal and it is

the crossbar, past the goalkeeper and in the goal, the
team gets three points.
Players can strike the ball in the air or on the ground.
They can also pick it up with their hands and bounce it
on their hurleys, but not more than twice. As a solution,
skilful players can balance the ball on the hurley while
running, then flipping it in the air and smacking it for
a shot at goal. The small ball can travel at up to 150
km/h, and a well-struck ball can fly as far as 80 metres!
Local Pride
The biggest games in hurling are played between
different counties of Ireland, but local rivalries are
also incredibly competitive. It is a great honour for
local players to be selected to represent their county.
All players must live or work in the county that they
play for. In a curious instance in the 1900 all-Ireland
semi-final, Kilkenny defeated Tipperary, however, the
losers complained that five players from the winning
team were in fact from Tipperary. Kilkenny were then
disqualified, but their five players played in the final...
for Tipperary, their true local team.
Hurling is an amateur sport, so no players are paid, but
players often practise as much as professionals, and
Hurling support is also huge. In the last all-Ireland championship
final in Croke Park in Dublin, Kilkenny defeated

for over 3000 years, and it is part of ancient Irish
mythology. Today it is often said to be the fastest field
sport in the world. It is not only played in Ireland but all
over the world by communities of the Irish diaspora,
from the USA to South Africa or even Argentina. Hurling
is only played by men, but there is a similar game,
Camogie, for women only.

Phobias
something that, in reality, poses little or no actual
danger. Common phobias and fears include closed-
in places (claustrophobia), heights (agoraphobia),
highway driving, spiders (arachnophobia), snakes
(ophidiophobia), and needles (trypanophobia).
and Fears
However, we can develop phobias of virtually anything.
Having a phobia can interfere with normal activities. A

FOCUS ON WORDS
AFRAID, SCARED, FRIGHTENED: Nagyjából mindhárom
melléknév ugyanazt jelenti: félni valamitől, ettől függetlenül
minimális különbségek vannak a jelentések között, ezeket nézzük
meg. Mielőtt nekifognánk ennek, nézzünk meg néhány nyelvtani
szabályt is ezekkel a szavakkal kapcsolatban.
Ha azt akarjuk mondani, hogy valaki fél valamitől, akkor a
következő szerkezetet kell használnunk:
afraid/scared/frightened + OF + FŐNÉV
He is afraid o f/sc are d o f/frig h ten ed of spiders. - Fél a
pókoktól.
Ha nem „sima” főnevet, hanem igéből képzett főnevet akarunk
használni (repülni-repülés, enni-evés, tanulni-tanulás), akkor
ezt angolul úgy tesszük, hogy az igéhez teszünk egy „ING”
végződést, ennek lesz a neve a
GERUND (nagyon fontos, hogy a gerund nem ige, hanem egy
igéből képzett névszó)!
He is afraid o f/sc are d o f/frig htened of flying. - Fél a repüléstől.
GERUND
Gerund és infinitive A „gerund", mint szófaj nem létezik a magyar nyelvben,
RÖVIDEN A HASZNÁLATÁRÓL
Mielőtt részletesen megnéznénk, hogy mikor melyik
alakot kell használni, röviden, nagy vonalakban
összefoglalom a legfontosabb tudnivalókat.
„G erund” (azaz „inges”) alakot használunk:

A következő prepozíciók után általában „gerund” out! - A/e felejtsd el becsukni az összes ablakot mielőtt
formát használunk: aim at, keen on, interested in, elmész!
instead of, good at, before ..., a fte r...
REGRET:
A KÖ VETKEZŐ K IFEJEZÉSEK UTÁN IS „G E R U N D ” reg ret + G ERUND: sajnálja, hogy korábban csinált
FO R M Á T H A SZN ÁLU N K: valamit

about how to rent a community bike.
RENTING A BIKE - KEREKPARBERLES
Man: I’ve seen those nice light green community bikes
all around Budapest. There seems to be a lot of
them. Do people use them at all?
Woman: Well, I don’t know. I haven’t tried them yet. A
friend of mine uses them and he’s quite satisfied
with the service.
Man: How does the system work? How can you rent
a bike?
Woman: If you want to use them regularly you’d better buy
a card for half a year or a year. It’s really simple to
rent, you just have to enter your user ID and PIN
code at the rear of the bike and touch your card
to the sensor there.
Man: What if I want to try it before I invest in a whole-year card?
Woman: You can rent a bike for 24 or 72 hours. You have
to use a credit or debit card for paying the rent
and a deposit of 25,000 Forints will be frozen on
your account for some time. You can use the bike
for free for the first 30 minutes then you have to
pay for it.
Man: Well, that sounds reasonable, though it is
probably too expensive for students. Is it safe to
ride a bike in Budapest?
Woman: If I were you I would not try it. The traffic is always
unbearably heavy and the drivers are impolite and
aggressive.
Man: Traffic looks quite OK for me but I’m obviously
used to bigger cities and bigger cars. What
annoys me is pollution.
Woman: I must say, you are absolutely right. It’s a real
health hazard to ride a bike downtown in the rush
hour. But you can find really super bicycle lanes in
some of the big parks and the outskirts of the town.
Man: Maybe I’ll give a try to the bikes for a short
period then. It looks a real cheap way of getting
around in the town. Why don’t we try them
together? We could go for a nice ride in one of
the parks at the weekend.
Woman: Good idea. Call me on Saturday.

SZÓBELI VIZSGÁK SZÓBELI TÉTELEK
As with a car, all bikes need regular servicing as things can go wrong. If your bike doesn’t run correctly it isn’t
enjoyable to ride. If there is a failure, you have to get your bike serviced.
AT THE BIKE REPAIR SHOP - KEREKPARSZERVIZBEN
Technician: Good morning, madam. How can I help you?
Customer: Good morning, sir. I ‘m having problems with my
bike. I need to have it repaired. I bought it half a
year ago, so it is relatively new.
Technician: What seems to be the problem?
Customer: There is some trouble with the brakes. They
don’t work fast enough when I want to stop the
bike. Oh, and the lights. They work on and off
but I never know whether I will be able to turn
them on or not. So I usually don’t ride my bike
when it is dark.
Technician: How long have you had these problems?
Customer: Well, the problem with the brakes started last
week, but I have had the lights issue for quite a
while.
Technician: OK, let me see. How urgent is the repair?
Customer: It’s quite urgent. I’d like to go on a bike tour with
my friends next week. But you see, it’s not safe to
start a journey with a bicycle which is not perfectly
safe to use.
Technician: Yes, I agree. Safety is of utmost importance. I will
have to check your bike to find out what causes
the problem. If the problem is easy to solve and
we don’t need to order extra spare parts, we can
repair it in a day or two.
Customer: How long will it take if you need spare parts?
Technician: It depends on what we need. But let’s hope for the
best.
Customer: How much will the repair cost?
Technician: You’ve told me you bought the bike half a year ago,
haven’t you? The warranty covers the repair then.
Customer: That’s great. When can I come back to pick up the
bike?
Technician: I’m not sure. We’ll contact you when it’s ready.
Can you give me an e-mail address?
Customer: I’d rather give you a phone number. I rarely check
my e-mails. It’s 30-1234567. Ms Red.
Technician: Thank you, madam.
