As you probably know, 3,000 people will be coming to our\ninternational scout camp. You will have to contact groups who register on our website.\nAnd next week you will be holding meetings for parents and guardians. So here are the main\npoints once again.\nFirst of all, the equipment. If groups want to bring their own camping equipment, that is fine.\nIf they are coming from further away and can’t carry much, then we can provide whatever\nthey need, but remember we must be informed at least a month before the camp.\nYou can imagine that with so many campers, it may sometimes take time to track everything\ndown!\nSecondly, there are two catering options. If groups wish to cater for themselves,\nwe can supply cooking equipment. We can also hook them up with a local group with whom\nthey can share cooking. They don’t have to worry about carrying their own food, either.\nWe’ll have a provisions service on camp that will supply everything the scouts may need.\nThe additional cost of having equipment and food provided will be £50 per person.\nAs for camp activities, we are anticipating numerous on-site events including bonfires and\ndisco nights. Campers can also take part in sightseeing trips to nearby tourist attractions.\nThe cost of all activities is published on our website.\nAdapted from: www.charnwood.org\nZadanie 5.\nInterviewer: A judge in Manchester sentenced two young men to 10 months’ youth detention\nfor tagging, that is spraying their signatures onto buildings, trains and bridges. He said he\nhoped it would deter others. I went to one of London’s graffiti hotspots to ask people if jail\nwas the best way to deal with such problems.\nSpeaker one\nGraffiti is a positive form of expression and I believe it does in fact brighten up the grey\nconcrete urban environment. I think it’s a wasted talent and by no means should incur\na custodial sentence. Give the young people somewhere to be more creative, hold\ncompetitions. Why shouldn’t the place be colourful?\nSpeaker two\nTagging should be punished, it has no artistic qualities and it makes a mess of the\nenvironment in which it exists. In our area, you see the same few tags time and time again\non any available surface. If left, it suggests that anti-social behaviour is tolerated here. People\nthen start to feel unsafe. Older people in particular find graffiti very upsetting.\nSpeaker three\nOf course they should be jailed. It really does make my blood boil when people suggest that\ntagging brightens up a grim, grey street. As with anything in life, if you don’t own it, don’t\nabuse it. I have no problem with art of any description, but it should be done on or in private\nproperty. If not, you are clearly an offender and you should be dealt with accordingly. If we\nexcuse this because it ‘looks nice’ where will it end?\nSpeaker four\nSending someone to jail for vandalism seems a bit harsh to me. The punishment has to fit\nthe crime.

In our studio, we have\nMartin Halstead, the entrepreneur who has just launched Britain’s latest passenger airline\nAlpha One at the age of 18! Martin, what attracted you to starting a business so early in life\ninstead of going to university?\nMartin: I left school when I was accepted for pilot training. I always knew I wanted to\nbecome a pilot, so university was never really in my thoughts anyway. My first business,\nwhich designed and sold flight simulators came about by chance because I couldn’t afford to\nfly.

However, I stand\nto lose my money if it goes wrong. I had to restrict my personal life a bit as well. You have to\nbe a lot more careful about what you say, which for someone with a loud mouth like myself,\ncan be difficult! I have had to slow down dramatically with my flight training, which has been\na big sacrifice for me. The whole reason for setting up this airline was so that I could do what\nI love most and fly every day.\nInterviewer: What is your average day like?\nMartin: My average day now starts at about 5.30 a.m. with maybe a TV or radio interview.\nThen I either head up to my office at Oxford Airport where I meet with our operations team\nand the airport management, or I travel around for more interviews and press conferences.\nI’m usually not done until about 8 p.m. By then I’m so tired, I just go home and crash into\nbed.\nInterviewer: Are you constantly under pressure to perform?\nMartin: The pressure is much greater than I ever expected it to be.

(18 pkt)\nWypowiedz się na jeden z trzech poniższych tematów. Wypowiedź powinna zawierać\nod 200 do 250 słów i spełniać wszystkie wymogi typowe dla formy wskazanej\nw poleceniu. Zaznacz wybrany temat, zakreślając jego numer.\n1. Coraz więcej młodych Polaków decyduje się wyjechać na Wyspy Brytyjskie w celu\npodjęcia studiów. Napisz rozprawkę przedstawiającą dobre i złe strony tego zjawiska.\nWith Poland’s entry into the EU, more and more young people\ndecide to take up studies abroad and English, the leading language of\ncommerce and science, makes the UK an obvious destination.\nSuch a choice is an exciting option for Polish school-leavers but at\nthe same time carries a number of risks.\nThere is no better way of improving your English than immerse\nyourself in British culture whose cosmopolitan character is sure\nto broaden your horizons. Another important advantage is that you\ngain access to wide educational resources and best-equipped\nscientific centres which guarantee fast professional development.\nSuch graduates bring with them to Poland invaluable experience and\na wealth of ideas which benefit the Polish market.\nHowever, not everyone is cut out for the challenge of surviving\nin a foreign country. Without the support of the nearest and dearest\nnewcomers may find it really difficult to adjust. It is also important\nto choose carefully the educational establishment you enrol to.\nStandards vary and not every institution guarantees a bright future\ncareer. Even potential success has its cost. The best students are\nsnapped up by British employers, which often means isolation from\nthe family and on the more global scale a brain drain on the Polish\neconomy.\nAll in all, studying in the UK is definitely a learning experience\nand a chance for a brighter professional future, but it may also mean\nalienation and economic problems for our country. Therefore,\neverything should be done to make sure Polish students have a good\nenough reason to return.\n99\n2. Napisz opowiadanie o przestępstwie, którego sprawca został złapany na gorącym\nuczynku, zatytułowane „Crime Doesn’t Pay”.\nCrime Doesn’t Pay\nI was coming home the other day and as usual the bus was\ncrowded. People were squashed against one another as the driver\nveered round bends and braked at the stops.\nSuddenly an old lady cried out: “Thief on the bus! Help!\nMy wallet’s been stolen!”. There was some commotion and everyone\nturned to look, but nobody was sure who the culprit was.\nThe bus was just coming into the next stop. No doubt\nthe pickpocket intended to jump off, but as so often happens on these\nold bone-shakers, one set of doors wouldn’t open. Meanwhile, a ticket\ninspector jumped on at the back. In a moment the doors closed and\nthe ticket machines were blocked. The old lady smiled broadly.\n“Now he’ll hopefully get what he deserves,” she whispered.\nThe ticket inspector approached a young man in a baseball cap\nand demanded his ticket. The young man shifted uneasily but there\nwas no way to escape. He pulled out a wallet obviously hoping to find\na valid ticket inside, but all he found was a pensioner’s pass. “I think\nyou’ll find that’s mine,” the lady called over.\nThe ticket inspector called the police and the man was soon\ndealt with. He was no doubt fined for the ticket offence as well as for\nthe theft. The whole incident certainly cheered the rest of\nthe passengers up as we continued our journey satisfied that the man\nhad been caught red-handed and the crime didn’t go unpunished.\n100\n3. Napisz recenzję poleconej Ci przez kogoś wystawy, która Cię rozczarowała.\nNot knowing what to show a friend who paid me a visit recently,\nI chose a modern art exhibition entitled “Warsaw Impressions”\nrecommended in a magazine by one of my favourite artists.\nThe exhibition, just opened in the Meridian Gallery, was widely\nadvertised as a unique display of the most exciting exhibits by\nWarsaw’s leading contemporary artists and the theme joining all the\nexhibits was the nature of city life.\nWe came with high hopes for an inspiring afternoon, but we left\nreally disappointed. The first blow came at the ticket office where\nwe had to pay a mind-blowing 40 PLN entrance fee. We proceeded\ninto the first room, only to be greeted by four seemingly blank\ncanvases and a small plaque which read “Warsaw Thoughts”. A little\nconfused, we moved on but other exhibits were of similar quality -\na strange installation entitled “The Sound of Warsaw”, deformed\nsculptures showing “Warsaw Blues” and virtually nothing to catch\nyour eye or stimulate your imagination - just a collection of several\nrandomly chosen works by unknown artists.\nMaybe we missed the point but to make things worse there was\nnobody who could give us some background information or explain\nthe idea behind these ‘masterpieces’.\nIn the end we both felt that if one wanted to reflect on the nature\nof city life, a much better effect could be achieved by standing on\na pavement outside or at a busy crossroads, so if you don’t want\nto spend a fortune and waste an afternoon, choose something else\ninstead.\nCentralna Komisja Egzaminacyjna\nul Łucka 11, 00-842 Warszawa\ntel. 022 656 38 00, fax 022 656 37 57\nwww.cke.edu.pl ckesekr@cke.edu.pl\nOKE Gdańsk\nul.

…and finally, here’s an announcement for those of you who will be answering questions
about Charnwood camp. As you probably know, 3,000 people will be coming to our
international scout camp. You will have to contact groups who register on our website.
And next week you will be holding meetings for parents and guardians. So here are the main
points once again.
First of all, the equipment. If groups want to bring their own camping equipment, that is fine.
If they are coming from further away and can’t carry much, then we can provide whatever
they need, but remember we must be informed at least a month before the camp.
You can imagine that with so many campers, it may sometimes take time to track everything
down!
Secondly, there are two catering options. If groups wish to cater for themselves,
we can supply cooking equipment. We can also hook them up with a local group with whom
they can share cooking. They don’t have to worry about carrying their own food, either.
We’ll have a provisions service on camp that will supply everything the scouts may need.
The additional cost of having equipment and food provided will be £50 per person.
As for camp activities, we are anticipating numerous on-site events including bonfires and
disco nights. Campers can also take part in sightseeing trips to nearby tourist attractions.
The cost of all activities is published on our website.

Zadanie 5.
Interviewer: A judge in Manchester sentenced two young men to 10 months’ youth detention
for tagging, that is spraying their signatures onto buildings, trains and bridges. He said he
hoped it would deter others. I went to one of London’s graffiti hotspots to ask people if jail
was the best way to deal with such problems.
Speaker one
Graffiti is a positive form of expression and I believe it does in fact brighten up the grey
concrete urban environment. I think it’s a wasted talent and by no means should incur
a custodial sentence. Give the young people somewhere to be more creative, hold
competitions. Why shouldn’t the place be colourful?
Speaker two
Tagging should be punished, it has no artistic qualities and it makes a mess of the
environment in which it exists. In our area, you see the same few tags time and time again
on any available surface. If left, it suggests that anti-social behaviour is tolerated here. People
then start to feel unsafe. Older people in particular find graffiti very upsetting.
Speaker three
Of course they should be jailed. It really does make my blood boil when people suggest that
tagging brightens up a grim, grey street. As with anything in life, if you don’t own it, don’t
abuse it. I have no problem with art of any description, but it should be done on or in private
property. If not, you are clearly an offender and you should be dealt with accordingly. If we
excuse this because it ‘looks nice’ where will it end?
Speaker four
Sending someone to jail for vandalism seems a bit harsh to me. The punishment has to fit
the crime. It might be more useful to society if they were made to clean up the mess at their
own cost. Make the taggers clean up double the area that they tagged and do something useful
for the community. They should also be warned that if they are caught again then
the punishment will be double the area that they cleaned the last time.

Zadanie 6.
Interviewer: His feet are on the ground but his ambitions are sky high. In our studio, we have
Martin Halstead, the entrepreneur who has just launched Britain’s latest passenger airline
Alpha One at the age of 18! Martin, what attracted you to starting a business so early in life
instead of going to university?
Martin: I left school when I was accepted for pilot training. I always knew I wanted to
become a pilot, so university was never really in my thoughts anyway. My first business,
which designed and sold flight simulators came about by chance because I couldn’t afford to
fly. Then I started Alpha One because I was trying to work out the easiest way to get
an airline job when I finished my flight training.
Interviewer: Have you faced many obstacles in setting up your airline?
Martin: Yes, at first it was very hard to be taken seriously. I remember in particular
a meeting at Edinburgh Airport last year where I walked in and was pretty much asked
if I was doing an A level or university project. Now, my boyish appearance doesn’t really
cause any problems at all. Age is just a number and people have to come round to realising
that.
Interviewer: What sacrifices have you made in order to make your airline a success?
Martin: Financially everything I have is in this airline, which is not much. However, I stand
to lose my money if it goes wrong. I had to restrict my personal life a bit as well. You have to
be a lot more careful about what you say, which for someone with a loud mouth like myself,
can be difficult! I have had to slow down dramatically with my flight training, which has been
a big sacrifice for me. The whole reason for setting up this airline was so that I could do what
I love most and fly every day.
Interviewer: What is your average day like?
Martin: My average day now starts at about 5.30 a.m. with maybe a TV or radio interview.
Then I either head up to my office at Oxford Airport where I meet with our operations team
and the airport management, or I travel around for more interviews and press conferences.
I’m usually not done until about 8 p.m. By then I’m so tired, I just go home and crash into
bed.
Interviewer: Are you constantly under pressure to perform?
Martin: The pressure is much greater than I ever expected it to be. Even when you’re feeling
ill, you still have to perform.
Interviewer: Do you have any advice for young entrepreneurs?
Martin: Yes, find a dream and chase it no matter how difficult it gets. You know, every day
brings a new challenge and a new knock back, but if you can overcome the bad days,
of which there can be many and manage to keep your head then nothing and no one can stop
you.

Dear Jack,
I’m writing to tell you how my life has changed recently because
of the arrival of Charlie - our new pet.
He is the most beautiful black cat I have ever seen. When I was
walking to school, I found him next to a refuse bin. I felt so sorry for
him that I took him home.
At first my parents were not happy but my sister was delighted.
I was worried he might be ill so I took him to a vet. He said
Charlie was all right and my parents let me keep him.
Now I have to get up earlier to feed him but I don’t mind.
And guess what! I’ve stopped buying sweets to save my pocket money
to buy cat food.
I hope you see him soon. Maybe you could come to Poland for
a holiday!
Love,
XYZ

  1. Coraz więcej młodych Polaków decyduje się wyjechać na Wyspy Brytyjskie w celu
\n

podjęcia studiów. Napisz rozprawkę przedstawiającą dobre i złe strony tego zjawiska.
With Poland’s entry into the EU, more and more young people
decide to take up studies abroad and English, the leading language of
commerce and science, makes the UK an obvious destination.
Such a choice is an exciting option for Polish school-leavers but at
the same time carries a number of risks.
There is no better way of improving your English than immerse
yourself in British culture whose cosmopolitan character is sure
to broaden your horizons. Another important advantage is that you
gain access to wide educational resources and best-equipped
scientific centres which guarantee fast professional development.
Such graduates bring with them to Poland invaluable experience and
a wealth of ideas which benefit the Polish market.
However, not everyone is cut out for the challenge of surviving
in a foreign country. Without the support of the nearest and dearest
newcomers may find it really difficult to adjust. It is also important
to choose carefully the educational establishment you enrol to.
Standards vary and not every institution guarantees a bright future
career. Even potential success has its cost. The best students are
snapped up by British employers, which often means isolation from
the family and on the more global scale a brain drain on the Polish
economy.
All in all, studying in the UK is definitely a learning experience
and a chance for a brighter professional future, but it may also mean
alienation and economic problems for our country. Therefore,
everything should be done to make sure Polish students have a good
enough reason to return.

\n

uczynku, zatytułowane „Crime Doesn’t Pay”.
Crime Doesn’t Pay
I was coming home the other day and as usual the bus was
crowded. People were squashed against one another as the driver
veered round bends and braked at the stops.
Suddenly an old lady cried out: “Thief on the bus! Help!
My wallet’s been stolen!”. There was some commotion and everyone
turned to look, but nobody was sure who the culprit was.
The bus was just coming into the next stop. No doubt
the pickpocket intended to jump off, but as so often happens on these
old bone-shakers, one set of doors wouldn’t open. Meanwhile, a ticket
inspector jumped on at the back. In a moment the doors closed and
the ticket machines were blocked. The old lady smiled broadly.
“Now he’ll hopefully get what he deserves,” she whispered.
The ticket inspector approached a young man in a baseball cap
and demanded his ticket. The young man shifted uneasily but there
was no way to escape. He pulled out a wallet obviously hoping to find
a valid ticket inside, but all he found was a pensioner’s pass. “I think
you’ll find that’s mine,” the lady called over.
The ticket inspector called the police and the man was soon
dealt with. He was no doubt fined for the ticket offence as well as for
the theft. The whole incident certainly cheered the rest of
the passengers up as we continued our journey satisfied that the man
had been caught red-handed and the crime didn’t go unpunished.

  1. Napisz recenzję poleconej Ci przez kogoś wystawy, która Cię rozczarowała.
\n

Not knowing what to show a friend who paid me a visit recently,
I chose a modern art exhibition entitled “Warsaw Impressions”
recommended in a magazine by one of my favourite artists.
The exhibition, just opened in the Meridian Gallery, was widely
advertised as a unique display of the most exciting exhibits by
Warsaw’s leading contemporary artists and the theme joining all the
exhibits was the nature of city life.
We came with high hopes for an inspiring afternoon, but we left
really disappointed. The first blow came at the ticket office where
we had to pay a mind-blowing 40 PLN entrance fee. We proceeded
into the first room, only to be greeted by four seemingly blank
canvases and a small plaque which read “Warsaw Thoughts”. A little
confused, we moved on but other exhibits were of similar quality -
a strange installation entitled “The Sound of Warsaw”, deformed
sculptures showing “Warsaw Blues” and virtually nothing to catch
your eye or stimulate your imagination - just a collection of several
randomly chosen works by unknown artists.
Maybe we missed the point but to make things worse there was
nobody who could give us some background information or explain
the idea behind these ‘masterpieces’.
In the end we both felt that if one wanted to reflect on the nature
of city life, a much better effect could be achieved by standing on
a pavement outside or at a busy crossroads, so if you don’t want
to spend a fortune and waste an afternoon, choose something else
instead.
