Part-

A small family
Let me teli you something about my family. There
are six of us; my mother, father, grandmother, elder
sister, younger brother and me. After arriving home at
the end o f the day, we have a nice dinner prepared by
my grandma. She is seventy-two and is an excellent
cook. She is really patient to listen to everybodys
problems. To teli you the truth, I dont know how she
can be so cheerful and fiill o f energy. My mother is
forty-fve, she works as a teacher o f English. What I
like about her is that she is really understanding and
helpful. You can always count on her. She can give
you the best advice ever. My father is fifty-one and
has been working as an engineer fr about twenty-five years. He is a very reliable person.
He is intelligent, hardworking and practical. Sometimes he is quite strict, bt I dont mind it
as my marks are nt always the best. My sister started university last September. She would
like to be a doctor. My younger brother is in the seventh year at primary school. He is an
ambitious guy, who is full o f plans. He loves books and his hobby is karate. I am seventeen.
My favourite subjects are chemistry and physics. At the moment I cant see my future at all.

A businessman's family
John is a well-to-do businessman. He is the generl manager of a large company. He is
considered to be successfiil. The employees are fond of him, in spite of the fact that he is strict
and makes everybody work hard. He has a good sense of humour. As fr his privt life, he
has been divorced fr five years. He met his ex-wife, Jane twenty-one years ago. It was lve
at first sight. After they had been going steady fr 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 cr 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 bt without
her husband. Meanwhile John had to travel on business more and more. One day the couple
realised they didnt 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 frst 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 sn on a lat summer aftemoon. The windows
were quite large with perfect insulation. You could hear no nise coming from outside. As
the walls o f the house were really thick covered with special material, there was no need fr
air-conditioning. The temperature outside was 38 degrees, bt inside the house it was only 22
degrees. Everything seemed really spacious as there was little fumiture bt 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 piac 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 som champagne in crystal glasses.

School years
Ken was bm int a big family. He has four siblings.
Ken is the youngest of them. As a little boy, two
years o f age, he was quite interested in everything
ihat was new to him. His parents were very pleased
to see how much he enjoyed both bedtime story
books or the cr magazines that his father bought
fr himself. In the kindergarten the little boy took
part in games, where he could leam what it was like
:o win and als lose. In the first year of the primary
school he leamt how to read, write and count, much
more quickly than his classmates. O f course, there
was the Internet, which seemed the best pastime to him. As time went by and he
>:arted high school, he became smarter and smarter and was very fond of problem-solving
i3sks. His parents never had to check his homework or send him to his room to study. After
he had left secondary school, he was admitted to university. He studied architecture. There
he met a girl, Betty, whom feli in lve with. They spent all of their free time together. They
ilways prepared fr their exams together and helped each otherwith everything. After the
graduation ceremony, Ken proposed to her. Since then they have been together and have three
children.

Education

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 didnt 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 fr 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 als played truant every now and then. Although he
was told a hundred times to puli himself together and focus on his studies, he didnt 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
som experience in the university of life. One year later he came home and started to prepare
fr an entrance exam. He read books day and night, and as a result, he was able to start his
studies at a rel university in September.

He leaves at five and arrives home early in the

company. His job is really tiring because he
sits in a truck all day and drives long distances
in very heavy traffic. He must concentrate on
driving because there are so many unexpected
situations on the roads. He als loads and unloads the truck during the
day. When he arrives at work, he checks in. He greets his workmates and puts on his work
clothes. He goes to his bosss office and gets his task list fr the day. Lets get started, he
says switching on the engine. At around noon he stops working only fr a short time when he
has his packed lunch and drinks a coffee. When he finishes work,he checks out and makes
his way to the railway station to catch the 5:30 train home.

Christmas celebration
At last it was time fr 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 hadnt met fr a year. It was the
family tradition to get together at least once a year
around Christmas. That year it was Jeremys familys
tm 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. Som 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 wouldnt 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 hadnt met fr a long time. They were talking cheerfully when Jeremys
mother entered the room with a big bowl of fish soup and a large
tino f roast
turkey.At last
we are all together. Lets 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 pln fr their summer holiday. The parents had been saving money fr two years so that
their children could have an unforgettable trip somewhere by the sea. It wasnt easy to come
to an agreement on what type of holiday to go on. We can go by cr 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 dont want to live in a sleeping bag fr four weeks,
grumbled their sn, 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 wouldnt be a rel holiday fr us, said father having the last word conceming the options.
They still werent 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. Lets 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 piac. In the end, it took only thirty minutes
fr them to choose the piac and pay a lt of money fr the trip of their lifetime.

1. Would you enjoy your time without your laptop and mobile while on holiday?
2.

What piac would you visit, anywhere in the world, if you had the money fr 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?

Its lunchtime on Sunday. The phone is ringing and an agent offers


you a trip to Greece at a reasonable price. How do you respond to
it?

C)

A cousin of yours invited you to her wedding celebration. Later it


turnd out that you were pt on the guest list just because somebody
had cancelled the invitation. Talk about it with your cousin.

You are on holiday and your bag containing your personal belongings

Write an essay of 120-150 words about the advantages and disadvantages of tourism. (Is your
home town popular with tourists? What sights would you recommend to visitors going there?)

An ordinary day
Sharon, its 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. Its a hard question what to
pt on in the moming. She likes bright colours because
she thinks they energise her, which is important to
her. She puts som make-up on her face and she is
ready. Ill have som breakfast and then Ill leave
fr 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 fr a short walk in the nearby park to relax a bit and
laugh a lt. She has basketball training three times a week in the aftemoons. She studies at
home until 6:30 or so. Sharons 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.

A special weekend
lts fantastic to be lazing in bed on Saturday moming. I am going to have brunch with my
friends early in the aftemoon, then play tennis with a colleague of mine. Early in the evening

goodness, my boss is satisfied with what I have done so far. With these words Nicole got up,
had a quick shower, pt on her favourite blue jeans, som mascara and perfume, grabbed her
bag and set off in her cr. She arrived at her friends at eleven o clock sharp. She is always
as punctual as a watch. The young ladies chatted about sports, work, the latest fashion, travel
and even the influence o f a persons surroundings on their behaviour too. After meeting her
friends, she dashed off to the tennis court and then her parents house where the surprise
party was being thrown. Her parents hadnt had a clue of what was going to happen. Nicoles
brother had taken them to a classical concert. On arriving home, the parents burst int tears
when they saw the whole family in the sitting room. I als wish to be as lucky as my parents

Write an essay o f 150-200 words about how you imagine the daily routine of one of your favourite
athletes or rockstars.

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 cr and off they go just to call on their pals.
Its pleasant and fst 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 lt 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 piac, 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 lve 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.

Write an essay of 120-150 words about the advantages and disadvantages of travelling by cr.
(Road conditions, weather, comfort, traffic jams, price of petrol, etc.)

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, folklr, 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 als
travel because they want to enjoy special sports that they cant 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
mn 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.

Travelling

Write an essay o f 150-180 words about how you would survive one month in a jungle. (No mobile,
no laptop, no TV, your diet, safe piac to sleep in, etc.)

An apple a day
While you are healthy, you think it is natural. In the
moming you do som push-ups or swim fr half an
hour in the swimming pool. Why nt give your day a
good start? You take an apple out of your bag because
you remember your grandfathers advice: An apple a
day keeps the doctor away. How to stay healthy? You
have read so much about it: healthy food and drinks,
regular physical exercise, no stress, a lt of vitamins,
the right amount o f sunshine, enough sleep and inner
harmony, etc. O f course, the list is quite long. In cold
and rainy weather you can easily fali ill. You go to your
GP (generl practitioner) and spend som time in the
waiting room of the surgery. In wintertime a great number
of people have colds, the flu or they cough and sneeze. After you have been examined, the
doctor prescribes you som medicine. You go to the chemists to buy som tablets, and when
you arrive home, you crawl int bed. You feel lucky nt to have a high temperature. You
always promise your family to take better care of yourself next time.

1. When were you last ill?


2. What was the problem?
3. What do you do to stay healthy?

4. Have you ever taken any vitamin tablets?

5.

What do you do when you have a fever?

6.

How ofiten are you absent from school/work due to being ill?

7.

Do you believe in the effect of herbs?

8.

How often do you go to the dentists fr a check-up?

9.

Have you ever been operated on?

10.

What telephone number do you call in emergency?

You have a bad headache. so you cant study fr tomorrows test.


Teli your mm about it.

You are at the doctors surgery. You are complaining about having a
sor throat. The doctor is asking you about the symptoms.
-sMtspflgijn:
You are on the beach with your British friend who has sunstroke.
Ask him/her how you can help. You offer to call your GP.

Being health-conscious
Christina is absolutely health conscious. She works at an office, and as a result she doesnt
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 som milk or a carton of yoghurt and a banana. At around noon
she has a light lunch with som fruit, and som salad fr supper. She pays special attention
to her diet as she is prone to pt 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
heart disease, high blood pressure and their cholesterol level is nt low either. Christinas
grandfather has had two strokes already, as he used to lead a very busy life. He ignored the
diagnosis given by his specilist. Prevention is the best cure. Have a good diet and slow
down, o f course, his doctor advised him. After two years, a lt of stress and hundreds of cups
of coffee on an empty stomach, one aftemoon the ambulance took him to a clinic where he
was hospitalised fr two months. Christinas strong will, her health consciousness and her
ancestors bad examples help her to follow a healthy way of lifestyle well-balanced.

Sports

The importance of sports


lts 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 bt he and his wife were
cheering enthusiastically fr their nine-yearold 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 lt 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 medl
in the 400 metres at a national athletics championship. Her other siblings played sports just to
be fit and have fun besides studying fr 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 fr a lg time.

Lovers of sports
The Brandons are lovers o f outdoor sports. Whenever they have the opportunity, they pt
a few indispensable items in a backpack, sit in their cr 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 bot anchored in the harbour or do som
windsurfmg. When they sail out with som friends, the mn angle and the ladies just enjoy
sunshine, the peace or the murmur o f the waves. They are nt stuck in their comfortable and
cosy home, even if its drizzling or when the sky is gloomy. They call up som friends and go
fr 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 mn 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, thats 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 fr another flfty years, said Mr. Brandon, who still
looks as if he was in his mid-thirties.

Services in a small town


Juliets parents live in a very small town. She spent
her childhood there. She clearly remembers that
most roads were cobbled, and only som o f them
covered with asphalt. There was no drainage system
anywhere, even the Street lights were missing in
som parts of the piac where she was bm. When
someone got seriously ill, they had to be taken to the
nearest city as in the local surgery they couldnt be
treated properly due to the lack o f special medical
instruments. Once a taxi business was set up, bt
in half a year it went bankrupt because o f the low
number o f passengers. Bicycles and privt 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 mn and women started their own venture opening som grocers shops
selling the most important items. There werent too many greengrocers as local people,
living in houses with gardens around them, grew vegetables needed fr cooking and meals.
O f course, there was a kindergarten and a primary school bt 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 Julit 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 fr
a meeting, decided to go to a restaurant to have a lat 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 cr ran int 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 cafs, 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 fr her tm at the receptionist.
He had never seen such an attractive lady before. He couldnt 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, fr more
than twenty years.

Eating In and Out

Part
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 its a good way to socialise and of course, have excellent
meals. Pamelas mother pt great emphasis on teaching her teenage daughter how to cook.
Being a lawyer, Pamela doesnt have much time to spend in the kitchen. When its their tm
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 val 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 doesnt 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 caf to have a cup of cappuccino with som 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 fr the rest of the day, they have a cup of coffee
or tea or som fruit. On weekdays Pams 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 fr a short
walk regardless o f how lat they arrive home.

What is your opinion about vegetarianism?

What do you think mood food is?

You have been served your meat soup cold. Call the waiter to
complain about it.

You and another family member are planning the men fr a long
weekend. The emphasis is on healthy diet.

You are having a guest from Britain. You want to take them to a
typical Hungrin traditional restaurant serving national dishes. Teli
your friend about it and ask their opinion.

Doing the weekend shopping


Last Saturday my mother woke me up after eight
o clock in the moming. The sn 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 markt.
There were lots of markt women selling their fresh
vegetables and flowers. Lets buy som shiny red
tomatoes, crispy green peppers, carrots, onions,
a head of cabbage, a big watermelon and an egg
plnt, 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. lts good to have
everything under the same roof, I thought to myself. We bought som 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 som dog chow too. At the cash desk we didnt have
to queue long to pay fr the goods we bought. You see, said Mom, its easy to spend money
bt it takes time and a lt 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 didnt 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 cr. I had only spent a couple o f minutes in a nearby grocers 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 havent seen you fr ages, he added. As we were
talking about the good old days, he showed me som 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. Its 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 cant 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 int 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, humn
activities and your preference.)

Warm and cold fronts


A lt 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. Its 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 som refreshment to get ready fr intensive work. Sometimes a
little doze can help as well, though of course nt at work. On rainy days when the sky is grey,
our mood becomes similar. We can easily get highly strung or edgy, nt to mention those who
have a headache or whats 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, bt
what fr? There is something which is really efficient and costs nothing; a good laugh.

1.

W hats 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?

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 pln a two-week holiday, do you check the weather forecast fr that period in
advance?

9.

What special items do you pt 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 nt much hope that he could go out fr a picnic
with his friends. Lets do something useful after it
has stopped raining. Ill give a ring to som of my
schoolmates to get together and do something fr
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 fr
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
pt on gloves to protect their hands. The previous days had been quite windy, as a result,
there was a lt 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 turnd up to do voluntary work. After a couple of hours, the whole
park looked a very tidy piac 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 lt on our plate
Boris mj rs in environmental protection at university. He and his university mates are
anxious about the future of the blue plnt. Nt only do they have discussions in lectures
and seminars about nature-related problems bt they have heated debates about the possible
solutions at informl meetings or even over a pint of beer in a pub. What they all agree on is
that it is humn society that is responsible fr nearly all environmental problems. Man-made
environmental disasters like soil, water, and air pollution, the extinction of som animal and
plnt species, the excessive emission of exhaust fumes, the greenhouse effect, the depletion
of the ozone layer and global warming could als be reduced or minimised if the attitd of
consumer society to natr 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 werent 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 lt 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

Free Time and Hobbies

Part-

A long weekend
Som boys of seventeen or so were planning
how to spend their long weekend. There
were six o f them in the group, who always
spent their free time together. They each had
their own hobbies bt there was something
that all of them were really interested in,
which was football. As they had three and
a half days vacation, they had a lt of time
to enjoy themselves. They decided to go to
the nearby pitch to have a game and meet
som other friends. After playing football, they went home to change their
clothes. Early in the evening they met outside the cinema to watch the latest film. The next
day, however, the sky was cloudy. Som of the boys helped their family a bit, others either
read books, magazines or surfed the net. Charlie, the most active of the boys went out fishing
to a lak with his elder brother taking no notice o f the light rain. In the evening the boys got
together again to see the national team playing a cup match.

racing or flying. It must be amazing to have a fantastic view from the top of the mountain or
enjoy gliding in dazzling sunshine. Those who prefer to spend their spare time in an active way
exercise or move a lt, whilst those who prefer more relaxed ways meet friends to play ehess,
cards or board games and to barbecue or simply have a chat over a cup of tea or go fr a walk
with their dogs. Once I read the following sentence somewhere; My free time is my life. Its
true that hobbies and out of school/work activities are part of your life, and they provide others
with a bit of information about you. There are people who feel alright on their own, without
anybody talking to them and disturbing their privacy, while they devote all of their precious
time to gaining knowledge via reading, watching Science films, doing crossword puzzles or

Country life or city life?


Barbara was bm in a little town, where she lived
fr ten years. Later her family moved to the Capital
because her father started to work as a manager of a
large company. Barbara didnt 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
Barbaras grandparents and her little dog, which had
been left with them. Right after arriving at their piac,
they had a delicious three-course lunch at a neatly
laid table. After that they had a relaxed conversation
fr about three hours or so. When they got back to
the capital, their lifestyles went back to norml. Her father and mother mshed to work by
cr the next moming, and a bit later Barbara went to school on a crowded bs. 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 int 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 fr the next days chemistry test. I wish I could live in my old
hometown where everything is so peaceful, she thought.

Staying at a wellness hotel


Jennifer and her family could hardly wait to arrive at the wellness hotel after a long and tough
period at work and school. They were chatting cheerfully in the cr, with the three children
playing with their little dog. All of them were in high spirits. After three hours drive they
arrived at the all-inclusive hotel. The little dog was the first to jump out o f the cr. In the hotel
pets were welcome, so this was one of the reasons they had chosen that piac situated among
the mountains. Their air-conditioned room with a plasma screen TV looked onto a gorgeous
lak, the view of which could be enjoyed from the flowery balcony o f their apartment. After
lunch the parents went up to their room to have a bit of doze, while the kids were exploring the
hotel park. In the aftemoon the couple spent som time in the thermal spa and had a relaxing
mssg to recharge their batteries. Fortunately, the weather being fine, the family did som
hiking in the picturesque forest and socialised with the other guests. In the aftemoons they
went riding a horse, hired a sailing bot to see more of the lak or played tennis with som
new friends. In the evenings they had parties in the exquisite trium o f the hotel. The family
had such an enjoyable holiday that they decided to go back to the piac the next year too.

Write an essay of 120-150 words about what kind o f lifestyle you would like to have in twenty
years time. (Your job, piac o f living, children and leisure time.)

C om puters
Computers, as is widely known, are used in every walk
o f life. They help people work in hospitals, shops,
schools, banks, restaurants, libraries, post offices,
factories and in homes too. Als, they are used in
agriculture, industries, tourism, etc. It would be a timeconsuming task to mention all the fields where you can
come across them. Todays young generation are really
lucky to be bm int a world of computers and the
Internet. Children are taught computer studies at school
at a very young age. There is a wide rang o f functions
to mention. They write their homework assignment on
their computers, surf the net, search fr information,
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, nt
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 fr school and having breakfast. If you have the Internet
access in your mobile, your pocket is the piac where the whole world can be found - at least
virtually.

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 cr bt
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 rel problem fr motorists.
Make sure you pay to use the toll motorway where
this is a must. You can pay fr 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 fr 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.

Write a formai letter of 100-150 words to the local public transport company about what changes
in the services of the public transport you suggest in order to improve the passengers sense of
comfort. (Repair or buy new vehicles, training of the staff, new timetables and discounts.)

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 sav som time and
money spent on travelling. As years went by, he was able to afford to buy a reliable cr. Petrol
was relatively cheap, so he could enjoy driving to work every day. Since then he has changed
his cr 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 cr 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 som 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.

Having a great time


Som people prefer more reserved ways of
entertainment, meaning that they dont 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 humn
behaviour or wild life. Others simply take pleasure
in the babbling of a brook. Als, there are people
who paint or draw pictures, which give them
precious moments. Lets nt forget about those who
prepare delicious meals fr a family occasion. The way they lay the table and serve the finely
decorated dishes fr a reunion can be considered a sort of art. This is the way they prepare
the background fr 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 rel intellectual send off.

Entertainment in cities
Cities provide a wide choice of entertainment fr 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 som old friends and colleagues you
havent seen fr 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 lt 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 bnd 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.

Fashion and Clothes

A fashion show
Ms. Hill is in her early forties and is interested in
fashion. She doesnt have several wardrobes full
of unused dresses, jackets, trousers and shoes,
instead she has a few pieces o f clothes of high
quality fr every season. As she is a manageress
at a company, she is supposed to wear a suit at
work. She doesnt 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 fr everyday wear. Only very few suits were shown.
Her daughter, eighteen years of age, was fascinated by som of the dresses. All the items
are very special bt 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 som cakes and ice
cream.

Its early in the moming. The Venetian blinds are still shut and there is soft music in the room.
Kitty, still sleepy, is going to the windows to open them and take delight in the beautifiil
back garden full of flowers. lts a cool spring day. What to pt on today? she asks herself
approaching the wardrobe. I need cheerful colours as the sky is a bit gloomy today. She
picks out a light orange blouse and a denim jacket with a pair of blue jeans. She als takes a
pair of leather shoes off the bottom shelf, then she slips int her clothes quickly, and tries to
find som matching accessories like a beit, hairband, earrings and a necklace with a pendant.
She nearly forgets about the bag whose colour goes with her shoes. Oh yes, the make-up. She
puts on som mascara and blusher. After checking her appearance in the mirror, she drinks a

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 als have
a mug of green tea with lemon juice and honey. Before breakfast my mother makes us
som sandwiches that we just pick up before leaving fr school.
2.

Its my mother who gets up at an early hour to prepare a nice breakfast fr us. She says
that a good start makes your day perfect. At the weekends its different. My father als
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, bt in spite o f this fact, I als have my mid-moming snack. At about four oclock,
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 fr the whole
family every day. Besides, in this way we can sav som 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 sav a lt of time because on the one hand, you
dont 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 nt always the best. You dont need to do the washing up though.

6.

My favourite dish is chicken paprika with sour cream, noodles and som 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. Theres nothing left in the big pt fr our dog except
fr the bones. Its great to have it at home as my mom pays a lt of attention to the
decoration of the dishes and the table too.

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

9.

I prefer buying vegetables at the greengrocers on the comer as Im always very busy
and I dont need to waste my time going to the markt in the city centre. When I do the
shopping at the hypermarkets, I als buy som 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
als see potted plants with big, shiny leaves in the comers.

1. Normally its 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 markt, or they send me to the nearest greengrocers.
2.

We go to hypermarkets, supermarkets, grocers, greengrocers, electrical shops, shoe


shops, clothes shops, stationers, florists, bakers, PC shops, and pastry shops.

3.

In my opinion, if you want to sav som money, do your shopping at a supermarket.


First o f all, theres 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 piac like that and we are absolutely
satisfied with the service there.

4.

We feel really lucky because theres a non-stop shop in our neighbourhood. In spite of
the fact that we do the weekly shopping, there are always som things we forget to buy.
Its quite comfortable just to go round to the non-stop shop on a lat Sunday aftemoon.
O f course, their prices are higher, bt when you really need something urgently, you
dont mind pay ing extra.

5.

She goes to the markt every week because theres a wide choice of fresh vegetables.
Since our family is quite big, she always buys a lt of carrots, onions, radishes, tomatoes,
green peppers, potatoes and som 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 fr
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 nt to try to persuade me
to buy something I dont 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 piac. They always say its worth going there,
as you can buy everything under the same roof, besides you can sav 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 piac like that having som
strawberry cakes, strudels, or sponge cakes with a cup of hot chocolate or fruit tea.
10.

Fortunately, I am. Well, I dont say I always resist the temptation to open my purse, bt
I never waste my money on anything useless. I only buy things I need.

1. My favourite month is August. Its because I lve summer, especially sunshine, and
there is no school. As Im fond of fruit, I can have as much as I want at this time of the
year. Additionally, in August you can go fr trips and outings since the weather is still
great.
2.

The sn is shining and the temperature is 20 C. Despite the fact that the wind is blowing
a bit, I lve it. If I didnt have to study fr 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 couldnt see the sn, 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, Im cheerful and optimistic. When I wake up to the
pattering o f rain, or when the temperature is low, I get int a bad mood. I hat the long
winter months as Im always freezing.

5.

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

When the temperature is high, I feel in good shape. I go cycling or jogging with my
dog. When its low, I als go jogging or get som physical exercise in the garden. I
meet my friends after I have done my homework. O f course, I als help my parents if
theres som work in and around the house. Im 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 its
enough to pt on a light summer dress. I als prefer denim shorts or skirts, with T-shirts
and sandals or slippers.

8.

Yes, several times. The most beautiful one Ive ever seen was over the cathedral in my
city on a lat summer aftemoon.

9.

When its raining, its nt hard fr me to study, as outside theres nt much to distract
my attention from what I have to focus on. Im quite quick on the uptake when there
are no disturbing noises down the Street as the people are als at home.

10.

On rainy weekends my family and I visit our relatives. Sometimes we go to the countryside by cr, or stay at home and go to see a film or an exhibition. Its 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 fr ages. Its 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 lt 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 its easier to raise your energy level. As fr me, I go jogging,
ride my bike or go fr 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 nt 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 fr 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 som 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. Dont
ever eat too much fr 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 fr your health. You can even make bread
at home. Meals containing unsaturated ft als 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 ft 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 lt because of being overstressed, should take som serious exercise every day.
As fr their diet, they should avoid eating fatty food and meals high in carbohydrate.
Instead, the consumption of som fruit and vegetables is recommended.

8.

Being vegetarian is quite widespread today. There are different types of such a diet.
Som people eat no meat, milk or eggs. Others eat no meat products, bt they eat eggs.
People belonging to a third group eat no meat and eggs, bt som 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 Hortobgy. All you need is som eggs, flour, milk
or soda water and som oil fr making the pancakes. Pt som ground meat, chopped
onion, a bit of oil and salt, garlic, red pepper and sour cream in a saucepan and boil this
mixture fr thirty minutes. After you have fried the pancakes, fl them with som 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 lve and respect too.

2.

I personally prefer shops that sell cosmetic items. When Im there I simply forget about
time. To spend two hours there would be no problem fr me at all. As fr my brother,
he would be absolutely delighted to be left in a PC shop fr 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 fr a teenager like me, this is the safest way to pay fr
something I buy. In case you lose som of your pocket money, it hurts, bt nt 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. Its nt always easy to get information about
the product you are looking fr. Small shops are usually crowded because so many
different kinds of goods are sold in a relatively small piac. In compensation fr that,
you can turn to smiling and helpful shop assistants fr advice.

Sample Answers

Generally, womens favourite shops are ones where they can buy clothes, shoes,
jewellery, household goods or cosmetic items, while mn prefer shops where electrical,
PC or sports goods can be bought. They als enjoy spending time at cr 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. Its true advertisements and commercials
suggest purchasing everything you long fr, bt you should use your brain before you
buy. In my opinion its peoples 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. Its really
simple. On the other hand, you must be careful about providing your bank account data
as it may be misused by people in som 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 markt, 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 nt cheap, bt in the long run they may be considered inexpensive
since usually they are long-lasting.

In summer there are thunderstorms with flashes of lightning, bt in most cases its
really sweltering. When it hails, farmers are worried about their crops. Fr city dwellers
hot summers are nt always pleasant, especially on housing estates where the buildings
become overheated. Snowy winters can cause traffic problems mostly if it snows fr
days and weeks. Accidents can happen anywhere where the roads are slippery.
No, absolutely nt. I feel privileged nt 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 fr 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.
Som weather forecasts are absolutely reliable. With the help of the Net you can follow
the latest predictions fr the whole world.

5.

If theres too much rain, its bad fr agriculture. If theres too little, plants dry out.
Agriculture depends heavily on weather conditions. In this way economy is als
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
als buy small weather forecast gadgets, which show the temperature both inside and
outside your home and the predicted weather conditions fr 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 pt a pair of goggles, a bikini, a straw hat, binoculars,
som mosquito repellent spray and sunscreen in my suitcase. I f i travel to a cold country,
I pt a pair o f heavy boots, a water repellent jacket and trousers, gloves, som 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 pt 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 als need som sunscreen to stop the sn from buming you.
