City of the Dead Do you love to discover new places but find guided tours a bit of a bore? Maybe you d prefer something more weird, wild and wickedly funny? Then, Edinburgh s famous City of the Dead tour is for you! In the heart of Scotland s beautiful capital city this is sightseeing with a difference. On this tour, you ll be thrilled and chilled by scary stories, fascinating history and dark humour, all in the good company of a friendly guide and possibly a ghost or two! The first stop on the tour is Edinburgh s legendary underground city. Underneath today s streets is a forgotten land of tunnels and chambers where an entire population once lived in misery. You won t believe people could have lived down there! It s pitch black, damp and airless. During the eighteenth century, the small underground rooms were used for all sorts of illegal and evil activities. Some say the dark tunnels are haunted by the ghosts of people murdered there! If you survive the first part of the walk, your next stop is Greyfriars Cemetery. This graveyard is famous for the mysterious supernatural activity that goes on around one grave in particular. This special burial site is said to be occupied by a ghost known as The Mackenzie Poltergeist. People report sightings of a white figure and dead animals, and experience unexplained smells and strange sounds. Since 999, there have been 450 documented attacks by the ghost. As they walked around the graveyard, people have felt something pull their hair, grab their arms or hit them gently on the back! Visitors come away from this tour with unforgettable memories and, sometimes, an unusual souvenir; many have gone home with a mysterious cut, bruise or burn! Though nothing dangerous has ever happened, this walk is not for the fainthearted. You will experience fear and fun in equal measure! It is recommended that you book this tour in advance because it is very popular. Tours leave from Edinburgh Castle every evening at 8 pm. More information about special discounts, group bookings and gift vouchers is available on the website. So, sign up if you dare! On this tour you will A make new friends. B be tired, cold and bored. C have a guide dressed as a ghost. D learn interesting things about the past. 2 Underneath Edinburgh s streets there are A walls painted black. B poor lighting conditions. C people living in tunnels.

Which words/ phrases helped you decide? One suggestion is to look out of the window at the horizon instead of reading inside the car.

B how to amuse yourself while travelling. 2 The speaker s intention is to A explain why travel sickness occurs. B advise people how to deal with travel sickness. This task tests global understanding of the recordings. To identify the speaker s intention, think about why the speaker is talking. To identify the main idea, think about the whole recording rather than details. 2 Usłyszysz dwukrotnie cztery wypowiedzi, które łączy temat zdrowia.

A OWNING AN ANIMAL B PROTECTING YOUR HOME possess defend keep safeguard watch over b) Read the paragraph and decide which heading from Ex. 3a best matches it. Underline the words that helped you. Keeping a dog can discourage burglars from entering your home. When a thief sees a barking animal in the garden, he will be afraid of being discovered, as the noise will alert others to the fact that something is wrong. Even if you don t fancy the responsibility that goes with keeping a dog, you can always place a Beware of Dog sign on your garden gate. It usually makes a thief think twice about breaking in. This task tests the main idea of each part of the text. Read the text and decide what each part of the text is about. Then read the headings and without paying too much attention to details match them to the corresponding parts of the text. 35

Dwa nagłówki zostały podane dodatkowo i nie pasują do żadnej części tekstu. HOME SECURITY It s not just locks and alarm systems that protect your home. Consider these other useful tips. Leaving valuable items lying around will only tempt thieves to break into your house. If you have an expensive laptop in full view on a desk by a window, either rearrange the furniture or close the curtains. The same thing is true for outside your home. For instance, a brand new racing bike in the garden suggests you have other expensive goodies inside. Keep it out of sight in a shed or garage, or store it in the hallway of your house. 2 The time most break-ins occur is during the day when people are out at work. You can leave the television on or music playing to make thieves think there is someone at home. Leaving a light switched on is another way to fool them, but can run up your electricity bill if you re not careful. To avoid this happening, why not arrange to have energy-efficient bulbs installed? They last longer, saving you money and helping the environment at the same time. 3 Afraid of forgetting your keys and getting locked out? Don t keep a spare set under the doormat or in a flowerpot. This is a dangerous practice because someone could very well see you getting your spare key out of its hiding place. That would be like an open invitation for them to let themselves in later. If you must have a back-up set of keys, it s better to leave them with a trustworthy neighbour. 4 Looking after your garden can help you keep your home safe. Shrubs and trees that have become overgrown can provide welcome hiding places for burglars. They can sit outside unseen waiting for the right moment to break into your house. You don t have to cut down everything in your garden! Just make sure tall branches are cut back so they don t cover upper storey windows. This will make it much more difficult for thieves to attempt a break-in.

Something fishy is going on... We ve all heard of the phrase it s raining cats and dogs, but what about it s raining fish and frogs? People in countries as far apart as England and India have reported seeing creatures such as fish, frogs and other pond life falling from clouds high in the sky. Scientists claim that these incidents are most likely caused by a tornado. It is thought that the sudden change in air pressure can cause fish and other creatures to be sucked up into the atmosphere. The tornado can move so quickly that the fish often land very much alive and sometimes hundreds of miles away from where they started out. 2 The fish were collected by the town s 650 residents put into buckets of water in the hope of reviving them. The stunned creatures had been almost frozen during their journey through such high altitudes. It seems unlikely that tornadoes can cause the sky to rain golf balls, sugar lumps and even meat, although all these have been reported. 3 But for now, perhaps having an umbrella in the rain is even more important than we first thought! A Puzzled scientists are still looking for other possible explanations. B In the early 980s, residents had reported a similar case.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am a keen skateboarder and I live in the centre of town. I ve been looking for places to practise because lots of people complain when my friends and I skateboard in the busy streets. Since the park behind the town hall isn t used for anything else, I was thinking that it would be a good idea to build a skate park there. That way, skaters would have a place to work on their skills without risking the safety of others.

Yours faithfully, Maurice Walsh Maurice wrote the letter to A complain that skateboarding is a danger to the public. B describe how he and his friends enjoy their spare time.

However, in the interests of balance, the TV company has promised to provide equal support to women s football competitions. The female national league will be televised later this month. 2 The text is about A viewers complaints to the BBC. B women s sport in the media. C football competition results.

Jeden akapit pasuje do dwóch zdań. Save the bees A Since the 990s, bee populations across Europe have suffered a serious decline. Environmentalists are very worried about the survival of bee species. There are a number of reasons thought to be the cause of their decline, including climate change, disease and habitat loss. However, the main reason is pesticides. Pesticides are chemicals used in commercial agriculture to kill the pests that damage crops. These chemicals are sprayed in large amounts throughout the countryside. Sadly, some pesticides are poisonous to bees. B Bees play an essential role in our food production. Not only do bees make honey but, more importantly, they pollinate the plants that we eat. When a bee lands on the flower of a plant, pollen sticks to its body. The bee then flies to another plant where the pollen rubs off and onto a different flower. As a result, the plant reproduces. In Europe, over 4000 kinds of vegetables grow this way and a third of all the food we eat depends on this process happening. It would cost us an estimated 265 billion every year if we didn t have bees. C Fortunately, there are ways to help. Firstly, we can spread the word about what s happening. It s important that people are aware of how environmental issues affect the world. There are many organisations, such as Greenpeace, who are working to save the bees and who welcome support from the public. Also, we could buy organic fruit and vegetables that are free of pesticides, or we can even become bee-keepers ourselves! Just planting some wild flowers in your garden will make a small but valuable difference. Let s be kind to nature s tiny workers! After all, they put food on our tables. 5 Znajomość środków językowych (Zadanie z luką z podanymi wyrazami) a) Look at the sentence and the word in brackets.

The Disappointed Banjo Player George started playing his banjo, but Harris objected; he said he had got a headache, and did not feel strong enough to stand it. George thought the music might do him good said music often soothed the nerves and took away a headache; and he twanged two or three notes, just to show Harris what it was like. Harris said he would rather have the headache. George has never learned to play the banjo to this day. He tried on two or three evenings, while we were up the river, to get a little practice, but it was never a success. Montmorency would sit and howl steadily, right through the performance. What s he want to howl like that for when I m playing? George would shout angrily, while taking aim at him with a boot. What do you want to play like that for when he is howling? Harris would answer back, catching the boot. You leave him alone. He can t help howling. He s got a musical ear, and your playing MAKES him howl. So George decided to wait until he returned home to study the banjo. Unfortunately, the lady upstairs was in a very delicate state, and the doctor was afraid it might injure her. George tried practising round the square. But the people who lived there complained to the police about it; they set a trap for him one night, and he was captured. He was sentenced to keep the peace for six months. He seemed to lose heart after that. He did make one or two feeble attempts to take it up again when the six months had passed, but there was always the same coldness the same lack of sympathy from the world in general and, after a while, he gave up entirely, and made the great sacrifice of advertising the instrument for sale owner having no further use for item and took to learning card tricks instead.
