12. You have made an arrangement with your
friend that you will meet at the market square at 8
pm. You arrive punctually and wait for your friend,
but he/she does not come. You wait another 15
minutes. You phone your friend and he/she does
not answer. Finally, after yet another 15 minutes
your friend calls you and explains that he/she has
forgotten about it. What do you say to him/her?
13. You are at a student council meeting. The
students and professors discuss the issue of
grading regulations. One of the best students
proposes that a student who wants a very good
mark should score 98% at every test. You know how
difficult is to get even 60% percent. What do you
say?
Looks like your paying for dinner, and drinks, maybe
a movie too.
"Dinner's on you next time".
I would do my best not to make a smart comment
about the teachers pet and politely inform the
professor so to get my own way.
"Are you serious?"
Don't know. But I would be hesitant to meet with
him her in the future,esp. in a situation where I
would have to wait without anything else to do.
If it's a close friend, then I'd say, "you whore, are
you coming or not?" If it wasn't a very close friend,
then I'd say, "it's cool, let's do it another time."
ugh. I've been waiting here like an idiot for the past
half hour. Next time try to remember these things.
Next time write it down, or let me know if you do
not want to come.
I would laugh and tell them to hurry because I've
been waiting. People make mistakes, it's fine.
exactly that
That's ridiculously high, let's set the mark to reflect
the average grades students achieve in the class.
You know, considering the fact that for some
students it's hard to get a grade over 60% I believe
it would be unwise of us to raise the bar that high.
I would say it's a bad idea and not fair to all
students.
I would say there should possibly be a grading
curve, where you mark the grades in the class by

14. Your friend wants to buy you a CD record. You
do not think it is a good idea. First of all, you do not
find presents necessary for proving friendship.
Secondly, you can download it from the Internet.
How do you react to his/her offer?
15. You are at a restaurant. You wait too long for
the dish and the waiter brings you cold tasteless
food. What do you say?
16. You participate in a competition. You are to
I am grateful and so say thank you.a friend of mine
would be aware of the points above and so it is just
a nice gesture.
"That's nice of you, but save your money".
This is cold and tasteless I'll have something else
please and a free drink for my quality control
service service.
I can't eat that, it's cold and tasteless".
I would care very little for my colleagues veiled
taking the difference between the highest score
anyone in the class achieved on the exam and
100%. Then add that difference to every student's
test. This is common practice in America for the
more difficult exams.
Thanks, but I'd rather download it.
"Nah it's alright, I've already got it torrented."
You know, you really don't have to. I'll just get it
online
I'd say I don't need one, and that I can just
download it off the internet.
I would thank them for being so thoughtful, but
then say I'd rather they were to buy a pack or beer
or a bottle of alcohol that we could share as I use an
application of my phone to listen to music from the
internet.
Depending on who I am with. I may say it is cold.
"I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be hot."
Nothing
It's cold and tasteless, can I get something else.
I would politely ask the waiter if it would be
possible to change my meal to something else, or
just ask them to take the food back because I didn't
enjoy it and take it off my bill.
Be hurt but ignore
create a poster promoting environmental issues.
One of your colleagues praises your rival’s work and
says you have no chance to win the competition.
You appreciate the other participant’s work, but
think your poster is one of the most original and
you believe in yourself.
Potencjalne pytanko do odstrzelenia
17. You are at your friend’s birthday party. You are
given an alcoholic drink. Everybody is going to raise
a toast to the happiness of your friend. You are a
teetotaller. What do you say?
Potencjalne pytanko do odstrzelenia bądz do
zmiany
18. Your friend takes the only place in the first row
at the cinema. You know he/she did it deliberately
to cause you trouble because you have vision
defect. You really want to watch the film. What do
you say to him/her?
Nie zrozumieli chyba do końca sytuacji, że zrobił to
złośliwice, complaint więc potencjalnie do
wyrzucenia
insult and would probably ignore it with a cheeky
grin.
"Maybe I won't win, but I really enjoyed making it
and I'm pretty pleased with it".
I'll toast you drink. I would then toast a few more
times for fun.
"Could I have some juice. I don't drink".
I would take there popcorn and sit somewhere
more suitable.
"Do you mind if I sit there. You know I can't see so
well if I sit further back".
I would ignore that comment and stop talking to
that particular colleague.
Well that's your opinion but I'm still going to give it
a shot.
I guess we will see what happens, anyone could
win.
Laugh and tell them my work is on par with da
Vinci.
Pretend or ask for juice instead
I'm a non-drinker, is there any coke?
I raise the glass and then set it aside, explaining I
don't drink
I would get a non-alcoholic drink to toast with.
I would ask for a non alcoholic beverage and
explain that I don't drink alcohol, then make the
toast with that drink.
Not much of a friend. Probably wouldn't go to the
cinema with such a person in the first place.
Hey I forgot my glasses at home, do you mind if I sit
there so I can see?
Seriously? (and then make a face)

19. Your boss is proud of his new iPhone which is
quite big. He/she asks you what you think about the
phone. You find it impractical because of its size.
How do you respond to your boss?
Ta sytuacja nie pasuje koniecznie bo zlewa się z
komplementem, które w kulturze amerykańskiej
mają szczególne znaczenie , więc też do odstrzału
albo delikatny detal.
20. Your workmate wants to take a day off. He/she
assumes that you will replace him on that day. You
do not like this person and you also have made
some plans for that day. What do you say?
I would say I prefer smaller unless it's my wage
packet.
"I'm sure it's great, but I prefer something a bit
smaller".
What's it worth?
"Sorry, but I've already made plans myself".
That there is a problem with the space they chose
and because of the vision defect, I wouldn't be able
to enjoy the movie.
That person would not be a friend of mine.
However, for the sake of this questionnaire what I
would probably do is go up to the person and
explain my handicap and ask them politely if they
wouldn't mind switching seats with me. No one
would say no to a handicapped person.
Nice, but too big for me
It's quite nice, yeah.
I'm not really an iPhone person but I guess it's
pretty cool.
The phone is fine.
Compliment them on their phone, what I like isn't
of concern for their personal items.
Sorry, I can't
Can't do it then, I've had something planned for a
while. Sorry. Try asking John.
Sorry but I've already made plans. You're going to
have to find someone else to replace you.
I can't do that day because I already have plans, and
next time just let me know ahead of time.

21. You are at a coffee bar. You are sitting with a
cup of coffee and your phone is lying nearby the
cup. A stranger accidently pours your coffee on
your phone.
22. While watching a French documentary film your
friend passes an opinion that he/she is not satisfied
with the voice-over. He thinks everyone should
watch foreign films with subtitles. You do not agree
because you know sometimes there is too little
space for subtitles and what is more, children may
have a problem with reading them. What do you
say?
Depends on wether they are a helpless little guy or
a burly biker type anyone in between will be called
stupid.
Depends on the reaction of the other person.
Whether they are sympathetic or not.
If not, then something like, "Is it ok if I send you the
bill".
think of the children.
"It depends. I think this film works better with a
voice-over".
Apologize and say I've already made plans and
cannot cover them for that day.
I don't know
Excuse me, you just spilled coffee onto my phone!
Will you pay for it now?
What the fuck?
I don't know.
I would ask them politely for their information and
for them to replace my phone.
exactly that
While subtitles are nice, dubbing has its place.
Sometimes there's too little space for subtitles and
children may have trouble reading them.
