Zadanie 4 (0–4)
Przeczytaj tekst, który został podzielony na trzy części A–C oraz zdania w tabeli. Do każdego zdania 4.1–4.4
dopasuj właściwą część tekstu. Wpisz rozwiązania do tabeli. Uwaga: jedna część tekstu pasuje do dwóch zdań.

In this paragraph the writer

4.1 mentions why some activities are not helpful before sleep.
4.2 gives an important reason why teenagers need more sleep.
4.3 compares the average amount of sleep for teenagers from two different generations.
4.4 talks about organisations that are doing something to tackle the problem.

A Does your teenage child go up to their bedroom early only to spend

hours playing with their iPad or mobile phone? Do they find it hard to
switch off their television or stop playing computer games when it’s
bedtime? If so, you’re not alone; it’s a common problem and according
to a new report, today’s generation of children are in danger of getting
so little sleep that they are putting their mental and physical health at
risk. Adults can easily survive on seven to eight hours of sleep a night,
whereas teenagers require nine or ten hours. According to medical
experts, one in five youngsters gets anything between two and five
hours less sleep a night than their parents did at their age.

B This raises serious questions about whether a lack of sleep is affecting

children’s performance at school. The connection between lack of
sleep and an inability to remember things, poor reaction time and
concentration is well known. Research has shown that losing as little
as half an hour of sleep a night can have a big effect on how children
perform the next day. A good night’s sleep is also crucial for teenagers
because it is while they are asleep that they release a hormone that is
essential for their ‘growth spurt’ (the period during teenage years when
the body grows at a rapid rate). It’s true that, to some extent, they can
catch up on sleep at weekends, but that won’t help them when they are
falling asleep in class on a Friday afternoon.

C So why aren’t teenagers getting enough sleep? Some experts suggest

the presence of televisions, computers and mobile phones in children’s
bedrooms may be to blame. Instead of reading a book at bedtime,
children are going to their room and playing computer games, surfing
the web, texting and messaging, or watching television. As these new
pre-sleep activities have become more common, so more traditional
ones such as reading have declined. Dr Luci Wiggs, a research fellow
at Oxford University’s Section of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
said, ‘One of the problems with these pre-sleep activities is that they
are unstructured, i.e. they do not have clearly defined start and end
times.’ She went on, ‘This is the first generation of children to face
such a huge variety of alternatives to going to sleep and the long-term
consequences in terms of physical and mental health for both the child
and their family can only be guessed at.’ However, rather than relying
on students to go to bed earlier, some schools in the US have delayed
the start of their classes to give their teenagers some extra time in bed.
And many teachers have reported that students are more alert and less
moody. One school has even noticed a significant improvement in the
educational performance of its students.

HOLIDAYS
As Sara picked up the yellowing postcard and looked at the two
people sitting in deckchairs by the sea, she thought about how
times had changed. These days everyone expected a holiday, but
she knew that holidays were a relatively new invention. Her dad
had told her that it was the development of the railways in the
19th century, and the linking of big industrial cities like Leeds and
Manchester to seaside towns like Blackpool and Scarborough,
that opened up the way for holidays. The steam trains took normal
working people to the seaside in their hundreds, although for
most, it was rarely anything other than an occasional treat. And
while they were there, they made the most of it, playing on the
beach, swimming in the sea, eating fish and chips and watching
Punch and Judy shows.
The British seaside holiday became much less popular in the
60s and 70s when people started to go abroad to warmer countries
like Spain and Greece. Sara remembered her mum telling her
about how they went on their honeymoon to Yugoslavia and they
felt like they were going somewhere so exotic.
Then in the 1990s, budget airlines made air tickets affordable
to everyone and Sara herself had been to loads of places. Funny
how the whole thing seemed to have come full circle! These days
people were turning to holidays nearer to home. Not only to save
money, but also because of worries about the environmental
impact of flying. That was one reason why Sara found it difficult
to put the postcard down. It wasn’t the only reason though.

5.1 The writer says that when the railways opened,

ordinary people went to the seaside
A only on special occasions.
B for more opportunities to entertain their children.
C  to experience something new.
D because they liked being with other people.
5.2 What does the writer find amusing about modern-
day holiday making?
A The amount of choice people have means they
can’t decide where to go.
B  People are choosing not to spend money even
though they can afford to.
C  It has actually become similar to what people
originally did.
D The fact that people are deciding not to go on
a plane.

FRIENDLIER FOOTPRINTS
Providing five-star luxury in the middle of a treasured wilderness
without damaging the environment might not be easy, but it is not
impossible. The King Pacific Lodge in British Columbia’s Great Bear
Rainforest proves that, if enough care and attention is taken, the
same could be achieved by any tourist provider.

Unlike many other hotel building
projects, no trees were cut down
and no land was wasted in order
to build it. The Lodge does not
have a permanent location but
sits on a floating barge towed into
the sea in May, where it anchors
until September. Those wishing
to stay in one of its seventeen
rooms must access it by boat
or seaplane. Each guest staying
at the Lodge is charged 3%
conservation tax, but is rewarded
by the chance to see whales and
bears. And since these are the
main attractions of the area and
of the Lodge, the management is
still aware that in order to stay in
business they must leave the area
untouched.
In 2000, the Lodge management
signed an agreement with the
native Gitga’at people by whom
they were later adopted. Together
they work for the benefit of the
area. The Lodge recognises the
native tribe as the owners of the
land, pays the tribe for the use
of their land and even supports
the native youth and employs
the tribe’s people. They, in turn,
teach the newcomers about the
local culture.

5.3 The writer feels that what the King Pacific Lodge
has done
A was hard because of the size of rainforest.
B  could be copied by other holiday companies.
C  wouldn’t have happened unless the tourists had
supported it.
D is difficult to get right because of the amount of
effort it involves.
5.4 It is really important for the hotel management
A not to change the environment.
B  to organise additional sightseeing tours.
C  not to give a job to the tribe’s people.
D to provide unusual attractions.
5.5 From both texts we learn
A that tourism can have a positive effect on an area.
B  that companies must support the local people.
C  that some tourists do not want to harm the planet.
D that the development of land has been positive.

6.2  However, Orton could remember so many
details about the family that he soon convinced the
servant that he was Sir Roger.
So, Orton met Lady Tichborne in Paris. She was
French and had taught Roger to speak the language
fluently. When she saw Orton she was so happy to
have her precious son back, even though he looked
rather different and couldn’t speak a word of French.
Lady Tichborne promised Orton that he would
receive £1,000 a year. 6.3  However, several
members of the family were unhappy. They alleged
that the man was not Lady Tichborn’s son, but she
ignored them.
When Lady Tichborne died, Orton wanted to
claim all of the family land and money from Lady
Tichborne’s younger son, Henry. The family hired
lawyers to investigate him, and in 1874 there was a
famous trial that lasted 188 days. Over 100 witnesses
claimed that Orton was Sir Roger. However, the
lawyers proved that Orton had been born in London,
the son of a butcher. The jury found him guilty and
he was sentenced to ten years in prison. 6.4 
However, when he left prison in  1884 they had all
forgotten him. He died in poverty in  1898, and his
coffin still bears the name Sir Roger Tichborne!

Zadanie 4 (0–4)
Przeczytaj tekst, który został podzielony na trzy części A–C oraz zdania w tabeli. Do każdego zdania 4.1–4.4
dopasuj właściwą część tekstu. Wpisz rozwiązania do tabeli. Uwaga: jedna część tekstu pasuje do dwóch zdań.

In this paragraph the writer

4.1 mentions a potential conflict caused by advertising in schools.
4.2 outlines several different ways in which companies promote themselves in schools.
4.3 talks about a promotion that would have been very difficult to take advantage of.
4.4 points out a long-term benefit that companies think about.

A For advertisers, there are three good reasons to target school children.
Firstly, they have money to spend –  and the amount of money is
growing. In the USA, teenagers between twelve and seventeen are now
spending about $190 billion a year. Secondly, they have ‘pester power’:
if they want something, they repeatedly ask their parents to buy it.
Thirdly, they are tomorrow’s adult consumers, and may stay loyal to
the brands they bought as children.
B There are financial advantages for schools who allow advertising. For
example, most secondary schools in Britain have vending machines
which are provided by large food and drink companies. Schools usually
earn between £10,000 and £15,000 a year from these. This income can
then be spent on books and equipment. Another way of doing this is
through loyalty schemes operated by some supermarkets. In the past
thirteen years, the giant supermarket firm, Tesco, has provided more
than 50,000 computers and 500,000 pieces of computer equipment to
thousands of schools, in exchange for vouchers which the students and
their parents collect when they shop at Tesco. Another company, ‘Be
Sport Ltd’, supplies free sports kits to schools which have the names
of sponsors on the shirts and shorts. These kits would normally cost
£400 per team.
C However, many people are unhappy about the growing influence of big
business in education. Schools should encourage free-thinking – the
opposite goal of advertising, which tries to influence our thoughts
in a particular direction. They argue that vending machines promote
unhealthy food and drink at a time when obesity in young people is a
serious problem in Britain. When Cadbury’s, who make chocolate in
the UK, offered to supply free sports equipment to schools in return
for vouchers, there was a big protest. It was pointed out that pupils
would have to purchase 5,440 bars of chocolate in order to get a free
volleyball set.

Working from home is brilliant. You can start work at
whatever time you like, and stay in your pyjamas all
day if you feel like it and no one will ever know. I’m
sure people think I have a hard life. Freelance work
sounds scary to lots of people and that’s probably
because of the uncertainty of it. Will you get enough
work to pay the bills? What if there’s no work coming
in? Well, comparing freelance work to the more
traditional kind, I know which I prefer. I’d much rather
take the risks to enjoy the benefits of being my own
boss and choosing which work I want to do.

relaxing so it helps me come up with ideas. And I’m
doing two things at once – getting clean and getting
stuff written. I’m just glad that there isn’t a camera

wrote ‘Unknown white male’.
The doctors were surprised at the severity of
his memory loss. 6.2  One specialist at the
hospital, Dr Leonid Voroybyev, admitted that he’d
only ever seen such a serious case ‘in the movies
and in my textbooks’.
The hospital authorities would not let Doug go
until he had been identified. Eventually, hospital
staff found a phone number inside the phrase book
in Doug’s rucksack. 6.3  However, when
Doug spoke to the daughter, Nadine, she recognised
his voice at once. ‘Is that you, Doug?’ she asked.
‘I don’t know,’ came the reply. Nadine went to the
hospital, told the doctors who Doug was, and took
him home.
‘Home’ turned out to be a stunning apartment in
downtown Manhattan, which he shared with two
dogs and three parrots. Doug discovered that he had
previously lived in Paris, where he had made a lot of
money working at the stock exchange.
Now that Doug knew about his identity, he had to
cope with other challenges. He was worried about
meeting his family and friends because he thought
they would seem like strangers to him. However,
when he met his sisters, they told him that he had
changed. 6.4  According to them, he had
become much more relaxed and wasn’t scared to
let people know how he was feeling. And indeed
to Doug, it felt like his life had started all over
again as he tasted strawberries, saw snow fall and
watched fireworks explode for what seemed like the
first time.

In this paragraph the writer

4.1 gives a reason why Polish people may prefer to work abroad.
4.2 explains that the type of work that Polish people do is not what the public expect.
4.3 suggests that the staff are essential to the company.
4.4 indicates that Polish people are flexible about the type of work they take on.

A It’s early in the morning, and work is beginning at a depot which

supplies milk to supermarkets. ‘Cześć, jak się masz?’ asks the
manager, Mr Timmons. ‘Dobrze, dziękuję,’ say the three workers.
They’re speaking Polish, but the depot isn’t in Poland; this is the
Robert Wiseman’s milk depot in Northamptonshire, in central
England. Half the depot’s 185 employees are Polish, including
lorry drivers, mechanics, supervisors and administrators. ‘It’s a very
competitive market,’ says Timmons, ‘and Polish workers are very
hard-working. I wouldn’t be able to operate here without them.’
B More than 300,000 Polish workers have settled in the UK since
Poland, along with nine other states, joined the EU in 2004. Britain
is one of three EU countries that give immigrants from these
nations full rights to work. An independent survey of almost 2,200
British companies shows that 12% of employers now employ
Polish and other workers from the new EU states. And although
many British people believe that workers from ‘new Europe’ are
unskilled, in fact one in three have taken a job in administration,
business and management. Only 4% work in the building trade.
C Jan Mokrzycki, president of the Federation of Poles in Great Britain,
says most of the immigrants have had a positive experience
working in Britain. ‘There are more job opportunities in Britain,
and the same job is better paid than in Poland. Ninety-nine per
cent of the people who come here are in work. Some of the work
is not exactly what they want to do, but the workers are waiting
until something better comes along. Most are professionals or
skilled workers, but the main problem is language.’

Loch Ness is a beautiful lake in the highlands of Scotland. It’s a
popular place for tourists, partly because of the beautiful scenery,
but also because it is traditionally the home of Nessie, the Loch
Ness Monster. There have been many reports of a strange creature in
Loch Ness since the 6th century. However, in spite of the number of
sightings, there wasn’t any real evidence until 1934 when an English
surgeon called Wilson took a famous photograph. The black and
white photo clearly showed a creature with a long neck and a small
head, and some experts said that it might be a Plesiosaur, a creature
from the time of the dinosaurs.
Wilson always claimed that his photo was genuine. However, other
people believed that the photo was a fake. They said that the loch was
only 10,000 years old, much too recent for a Plesiosaur. For nearly
60 years, people asked themselves if the photo was genuine or fake.
Then, in 1993, the truth came out: a film director called Wetherell
had arranged the photo to fool people. He had asked a man called Ian
Spurling if he could make a model of the monster. Sixty years later,
when he was 90 years old, Spurling admitted that the ‘monster’ was
in fact a toy submarine!
Although Wilson’s photo was fake, there have been lots of other
reports of a monster in the lake since. Many people still believe that
something strange lives there.
BLOG
Have you ever been on a ghost hunt? Well that was what
happened to me yesterday when I was invited to spend the
night in a hotel that was supposed to be haunted. There were
a group of us who had agreed to sleep in the cellar as this
was where the ghosts were supposed to be most active.
Before we went to sleep, Jim, the hotel owner, showed me
around the cellar. He explained that a thermometer had
snapped in two there and one night, he had been woken up
by the locked door swinging open. There was no explanation
for these things and that was the reason he had invited us
there for the night.
Some of us were doing it for charity, but I must admit that
I wasn’t expecting the best night’s sleep as we settled into
our sleeping bags. Jim had put some candles in the middle
of the room and we watched the flames flickering for a while
in silence to see if that might give us a sign that there was
something there. That was until a man called Chris started
laughing. He couldn’t take it seriously. Apparently if you see
a ghost then it’s usually out of the corner or your eye and
you’re never quite sure if that’s what you’ve seen, although
you’ll probably feel the temperature drop in the room and
that’s another sign. I can’t say I felt or saw anything and
neither did any of the others in the group. I managed to get
a few hours’ sleep on the hard stone floor though, so maybe
I missed what I was there to look out for.

A For Irwin, Australia’s animals were ‘like a magnet’ and getting up close to them was how he had acquired his
fame and fortune.
B According to a witness, Irwin swam too close to it and this is likely to be the reason why he was attacked.
C He founded ‘Wildlife Warriors Worldwide’, which protects wildlife, sets up breeding and rescue programmes
and leads scientific research to aid conservation.
D A few years later, his father moved the family from Melbourne to Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, where they
opened a small wildlife park.
E But in 2004 he went too far, cradling his baby son, Bob, in one arm while feeding a large crocodile with
the other.

Unlike most Australians, who avoid the tropical Sun and the
dangerous creatures that surround them, Steve Irwin was
a man who loved the great outdoors.
At the age of six, he was given a four-metre python for his birthday. 6.1 
By the time Irwin was nine, he was catching crocodiles, and in his twenties
he worked for the Queensland government as a crocodile trapper, removing
animals from populated areas. In 1991, when his parents retired, he took over
the business – originally called the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park, and
now known as Australia Zoo – and developed it into a major tourist attraction.
In an ABC documentary, Irwin said, ‘I’ve got animals so genetically inside
me that there’s no way I could actually be anything else.’ Thousands of
visitors visited Australia Zoo to watch Irwin get close to dangerous animals.
6.2  The incident was reported in the Media and Irwin apologised. He
later insisted, however, that the boy had been in no danger.
The fact that Irwin couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about was
due to the fact that nothing scared him – not the sharks nor the man-eating
crocodiles, nor the dozens of snakes and spiders capable of delivering a fatal
bite. 6.3  He lived for these death-defying encounters. And it was,
perhaps, the sense that nothing could hurt him that killed him in the end.
He was diving in the warm waters of Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef when
a stingray shot poison into his heart. 6.4  Stingrays use their long tails
to deliver poison to their victim only when they feel threatened. The crew of
his boat called the emergency services and tried to save him as they rushed
to a nearby island to meet a rescue helicopter, but unfortunately he died at
about noon local time. He was believed to be only the third person killed by
a stingray in Australian waters.

famous in the 1990s for their ‘shock tactics’
– their use of strange materials and unusual

‘Freeze’, was organised in 1988 by Damien
Hirst, a leading member of Britart, who at
that time was still a student at art college.
The exhibition was seen by a keen art

of ‘Banksy’. He’s a famous graffiti artist who
comes from the city so there’s a lot of his
work here. It’s funny that nobody knows who
‘Banksy’ is. Some people might think that’s
because graffiti is illegal, but actually it’s
more likely to be because that’s part of his
image. He’s so mysterious and people around
the world are dying to catch a glimpse of him
doing his work. That adds to the excitement.
It probably increases the value of any
artwork he does, too, and there are people
around the world who would do anything to
get an original ‘Banksy’ in their homes. No
council would be upset if he did a work of art
on one of their walls as it’s likely to make the
wall worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

fuss was about. All I can say is that I wasn’t disappointed. As
I came out of the tube station and rounded the corner the
pavement seemed to be split by a huge white water river
that had suddenly appeared. A couple were sat on a dinghy
looking as though they were about to swept into the mouth of
a crocodile that was waiting patiently just a few metres along
the river. Julian is a master at creating three-dimensional
images on flat surfaces and the fact that the scene looked so
real even though it’d been created by chalk on the pavement
just took my breath away. There is also something very
exciting about the fact that this art is so temporary. You don’t
know how long it’s going to be there for and you feel very
lucky to be one of the people who have seen it.

Have you ever heard of ‘nano-food’?
I’ve just been reading an article about how it could be the
end of traditional cooking and it’s made me appreciate every
bite of my plain old sandwich.
Now, you’re probably thinking to yourself, ‘What on Earth is
she talking about?’ Well, do you remember Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory? Willie Wonka told that annoying little girl,
Violet, about the chewing gum that he’d invented which was
a three-course dinner in one strip. Tomato soup, followed by
roast beef and potatoes, then blueberry pie and ice cream.
Well, this type of thing is no longer a fantasy. The huge food
company Kraft are working on programmable food. One
food is a drink with no taste or colour. You choose what it
tastes and looks like and which vitamins it contains, then put
it in a special microwave that will activate the nano-capsules
and create your very own designer drink. Having read about
it I can’t stop thinking about what happened to Violet when
she ate Mr Wonka’s gum. She blew up like a huge beach ball
and had to be rolled away by the Oompa Lompas. Surely it’d
be better to find the real ingredients and make your designer
drink out of those? At least then you’d know exactly what you
were putting in your body …

Imagine you’d bought a lottery ticket and
won $30 million. What would you do with
the money? Would you give it all away? Surely
nobody in their right mind would do that.
But in fact, there have been several examples
over the years of people who gave away all
their money to help others. One of the most
famous was Percy Ross.
Ross was born in 1916 in Michigan. His
parents had come to the USA from Latvia and
Russia and the family were poor. 6.1  It took years, but Ross finally succeeded in
Then disaster struck and he lost all his money.
But he soon made lots of money again –  this
time by manufacturing plastic bags. In 1969,
he sold his plastic bag company for millions
of dollars.
Ross started giving away his fortune in 1977:
he gave $50,000 to 50 Vietnamese refugees so
that they could make a new home in the USA.
Then he held a Christmas party for 1,050 poor
children in the American town of Minneapolis.
6.2  His parents would have bought him
one if they had been able to afford it, but they
were too poor. Ross bought one for each of the
1,050 children at the party.
After these first experiences of giving money
away, Ross decided to do it on a regular basis.
6.3  Readers and listeners wrote in and
asked for the money. If Ross thought they
genuinely needed and deserved it, he gave it to
them. He received about 40,000 requests every
month and sent cheques to about 150 people
every week. His gifts included money for poor
families to help with their shopping bills and
$16,500 in silver coins for children at a parade.
giving away his entire fortune. He published his
last newspaper column on 19 September 1999.
‘I’ve achieved my goal,’ he wrote. ‘I’ve given it
all away.’ Nobody knows exactly how much
this was. ‘I never tell anybody,’ he said. ‘It’s not
a question of how much one gives. Would I be
a better person if I gave away $2 million than
if I gave $1 million?’ 6.4  ‘If I’d had twice
as much,’ he said, ‘I still would have given it
all away. For every person I helped, there were
400 to 500 I couldn’t help.’ Percy Ross died in
2001 at the age of 85.

A However, people have estimated that the total figure was much higher and
yet Ross confirmed that he didn’t have any regrets.
B But Percy soon showed a talent for business and made a fortune in the fur
trade and auction business.
C But actually he ended up regretting what he’d done as he had very little left
to live on.
D He started a newspaper column called ‘Thanks a Million’, and later a radio
show, in order to give away his fortune.
E Ross remembered that, when he was a child, what he wanted most of all
was a bike.

In this paragraph the writer talks about

4.1 records that can be used by the authorities.
4.2 the development of a device.
4.3 a way of discovering your personal information.
4.4 specific places in which people may be watched.

A The first CCTV cameras appeared in Britain in 1953, and by

the 1960s there were already a few cameras in major streets in
London. Today, there are more than 4 million CCTV cameras
across the country. That’s one camera for every fourteen people.
The cameras are there to film dangerous or illegal behaviour. With
new software, they can automatically warn the police of trouble.
But these cameras don’t just watch criminals; they watch all of
us, almost all of the time. Every time we go into a shop, or use a
cashpoint machine, or travel on public transport, a camera records
our actions.

B Cameras are not the only way of monitoring our actions. Every
time you make or receive a call on your mobile phone, the phone
company knows the number of the phone you are calling and
how long the call lasts. It is even possible to work out your exact
location and where you go in a day if you have your phone with you.
The police often use this information when they’re investigating
serious crimes.

C Even when you are at home, it doesn’t mean that people don’t
know what you’re doing. When you use your computer to visit
websites, you are probably sending and receiving cookies without
realising it. Cookies transfer information from your computer to
the website and, in theory, could record which websites you visit.
Or perhaps somebody has secretly installed a keystroke logging
programme on your computer. These record every letter that
you type on the keyboard: your passwords, your emails, your
bank account numbers and more. Modern technology is making
it easier and easier to stay in contact, but it is also making it nearly
impossible for us to hide.

THE DARWIN AWARDS
The various individuals to whom the ‘Darwin Awards’ are
given each year are, by definition, unaware of the honour.
Even if they were aware, it certainly isn’t something to
be proud of. This is because the people to whom they are
awarded have caused their own death by doing something
really stupid. For example, recently an award was given to
a British journalist who went undercover to find out how
homeless people live. After three days he ended up freezing
to death.
The famous scientist that the awards are named after put
forward the theory of natural selection, according to which
members of a species who lack intelligence are less likely
to survive long enough to pass on their genes. Each year,
the ‘Darwin Awards’ website publishes a number of such
stories which are then voted for by the public in order to
select a winner. Although the purpose of the awards is to
celebrate these bizarre deaths and the people who brought
them about, the website also includes ‘near misses’, which
are stupid things that people have done that almost caused
their death.

Have you ever thought that you’d like to live forever? If you have,
then Alcor is a company you may have heard of. For a $135,000
fee, it’ll send a trained response team when you die to drain your
blood and deep freeze your body. The theory is that the company’s
employees will thaw you out in the future when science has
advanced enough to cure you of whatever it was that you died of.
The service isn’t that popular at the moment, but Alcor says that
its membership is increasing and this may be due to the fact that
scientists are starting to see the possibility of us living for much
longer than we do now, and maybe even forever.
This raises the question of what our lives would be like if we thought
that we had all the time in the world to do things. Would we achieve
anything at all? I know I find it difficult enough to get things done
when I haven’t got a deadline. How would life be without any
pressure? And if you had an infinite amount of time on the planet,
would you actually enjoy that time or would it be less memorable
than the limited time you have now?
If science can help us to live forever, just think about the number of
operations and the amount of work that would need to be done to
keep us going. All the old people I know seem to find that they get
problems as they get older, whether it’s failing eyesight, or knees
and hips that don’t work properly. I think I’d rather grow old naturally
or die suddenly after making my limited time on Earth as good as it
could be.

ARE ONLINE RELATIONSHIPS REAL?

Well, this is a topic that is close to my heart. My family and friends are always worrying about
me because more and more of my life exists online. They keep telling me that I should get out
more. They say I need a life. I tell them I have a life, but it’s different to theirs. 6.1 Not
me. I have many more friends than they do, but mine don’t interrupt me when I’m talking and
they don’t fall out with me if I’m late.
I agree that we all need some kind of human interaction and we can’t do all our
communicating through a keyboard. 6.2 But is this the most fulfilling part of my life?
Not at all. My most fulfilling experiences recently have been with people I know through
the internet.
For example, I work regularly with a team of computer experts who write articles for this
website. I’ve never seen most of these people but they seem like true friends to me: friends that
live all over the world, friends that I wouldn’t know if it weren’t for the internet. True, I would
love to meet them in real life. 6.3 Well, certainly better than the guy who lives next door
to me and with whom I have nothing in common anyway.
So, my answer to the question ‘Are online relationships real?’ is a resounding YES, YES, YES.
And don’t let your families and ‘real’ friends convince you differently. 6.4 The internet
allows you the opportunity to know someone for who they are and not for how they look or
how they dress. In some ways, the people you know on the internet are more real than the
ones you pass on the street.

A I have a job that gets me out of the house and makes me interact in the ‘real’ world.
B They have lots of visitors to their home, but fewer than I do.
C Just because you can’t ‘see’ someone, doesn’t mean you don’t care about them.
D They have relationships that require a lot of time and effort.
E But, even if I don’t, these people remain very real and dear to me because I really know them.
