(A/II.1), majd jelölje, hogy a szöveg alatti (A), (B), (C) és (D) jelzésű válaszok közül a szöveginformáció alapján melyik fogadható el a leginkább megfelelő változatnak! On reading the following passage (A/II.1) carefully, choose ONE of the four answers (A), (B), (C) and (D) to each of the questions or unfinished statements. Choose the answer which fits the text best. A/II.1 When I moved to an apartment in New York and discovered that my new neighbours included a colony of pigeons, my first reaction was: exterminate the brutes! I was disturbed by their morning mating calls, and agreed with my wife, Dana, when she cursed them as winged rodents that soil the city. I attacked them with broom and water pistol It was hard for me to believe that the traditional symbol of peace, a dove with an olive branch, is actually a white pigeon. Then last December, after scaring away a grey pigeon sitting on the sill of our bathroom window, I found a nest there with an egg in it.

"Revenge is ours!" I shouted to Dana, triumphantly holding the egg high up in the air. "Should I smash it right away or save it for an omelette?" But Dana was looking in horror at the window-sill behind me. The pigeon had swooped back to the empty nest and was beating its wings against the window frame. "You put that back this second!" Dana said, with the same look on her face that I swear the parent pigeon had. "How can a rational human want to save a baby pigeon?" I asked as I returned the egg. And then it came to me. Here was a chance to answer the mystery that puzzled generations of city dwellers: why doesnt anyone ever see a baby pigeon? Let others search Loch Ness for its monster or climb the Himalayas in order to track down the Yeti. I would be the first human to see a baby pigeon in the wild. The bird roosted outside the bathroom for a week, and then one morning the nest was empty - no mother, no baby, no egg. Soon another nest appeared

with two eggs, but they, too, vanished. I reported the parenting troubles to a friend of mine in the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. "Eggs normally hatch after 18 days," she said, "but sometimes pigeons are frightened off the nest, and sometimes eggs never hatch because the parents arent getting the proper diet to make sturdy eggshells." "And why," I asked, "do we never see a baby pigeon?" "They stay in the nest for the first month," my friend told me, "and grow so rapidly theyre nearly full size when they emerge." 51. According to the text, the authors new home was (A) on the outskirts of the city. (B) near a big green park. (C) in a block of flats. (D) near a bird reservation. 52. According to the author of the text, pigeons (A) only leave dirt behind themselves. (B) fertilise the soil of the city. (C) can be easily identified as symbols of peace. (D) give a sweet mating sound. 53. The author took the egg from the

nest on the sill of the bathroom window because (A) he was short of eggs to make an omelette. (B) the nest had been abandoned and the egg was left there. (C) his hobby was to collect different size eggs. (D) he wanted to give a final blow to the pigeons. 54. The authors wife, Dana, asked her husband to put the egg back in the nest because (A) she felt sorry for the future generations of pigeons. (B) her husband was going to make a mess in the bathroom. (C) she didnt want to have her window broken. (D) she realised that the parent pigeon felt desperate for her "baby". 55. The author put back the egg in the nest because (A) he felt guilty of wanting to break the egg. (B) he was puzzled by his wifes sudden reaction. (C) he was frightened by the parent pigeons attack. (D) he was relieved that he didnt have to destroy the egg. 56. Having saved the egg with the baby pigeon inside, the author (A) suddenly realised that baby pigeons hadnt been seen for years. (B) thought that fellow

citizens were going to be proud of him. (C) thought he had to go and discover the Loch Ness monster and the Yeti. (D) recalled that Americans were used to seeing no baby pigeons. 57. In line 20, the phrase "in the wild" refers to (A) the urban jungle. (B) an uninhabited land. (C) America. (D) the colony of birds. 58. In line 21, "roosted" means that the pigeon (A) made a noise. (B) sat on its nest. (C) built a nest. (D) enjoyed the sunshine. 59. According to the text, on the sill of the authors bathroom window (A) there was only one pigeon nest altogether. (B) there were a few nests for a colony of pigeons. (C) there were a couple of nests for pigeons. (D) there was one pigeon nest at a time. 60. After the eggs had vanished for a second time, the author (A) scared away all other birds except for the parent pigeons. (B) decided to write an article about the strange event. (C) became concerned about the disappearance of the eggs. (D) was angry that he wasnt going

to see baby pigeons. 61. Baby pigeons are rare to see because (A) they look like adult pigeons when they leave the nest. (B) the parents die as they cant keep up feeding themselves. (C) the parents often decide to leave the nest sooner than 18 days. (D) many of them die early on for lack of proper diet. 62. As the story unfolds, the authors attitude to pigeons (A) remains rather antagonistic. (B) is that of an animal activists. (C) seems to change somewhat. (D) is mostly indifferent.

Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet in the following way: A = TRUE B = FALSE C = NOT STATED For this task, please DO NOT WRITE anything in the column marked with D on the Answer Sheet. A/II.2 Youre halfway through another magazine; another blizzard of words, and fake statistics confirmed by society gurus with Hollywood names. Whats truly important? Whats true even? The main shortcoming of our information culture is not the availability of "facts", but their quality and relevance to you. Information overload, also known as the now medically recognised "information fatigue syndrome", is the new flu. Were bombarded by news faxes, phone-calls, emails, and the junk equivalent of all these, until the information we need to operate evades us. Heres some information about information: The script for a 30-minute broadcast by CNN would barely fill the

front page of a newspaper. A weekday edition of a newspaper contains as much information as the average person in the 17th century would be exposed to in their entire lifetime. In 1971 the average American encountered 560 advertising messages a day; by 1997 that had grown to 3,000. Dr David Lewis, a psychologist who has recently published a book, Information Overload, recognises that the "sheer volume of information we have to deal with daily means that work stress spills out into home life, and our heads become so full of data that we find it hard to sleep". Dr Lewis says: "As deadlines get tighter due to the speed of information, people are always inclined to feel the information they have is out of date." He refers to one financial director who installed a new system as it gave him a 100th of a second on his competitors. So surely theres a solution? He isnt optimistic: "There isnt one," says Lewis. The information overload isnt going away, so its vital

that we become better at managing it. 63. The most important problem with information today is the very amount one is exposed to 64. We seem to be flooded with lots of information, but even so sometimes what we are really after fails to reach us. 65. You can find as much information in a daily newspaper today as people were likely to get during their whole life a few hundred years ago. 66. The overall information load the average American gets daily has increased more than five times over the last three decades. 67. Work stress caused by the amount of information we have to cope with may prevent us from getting enough sleep. 68. People think that the speed of information today helps us to keep up-to-date and meet deadlines. 69. Dr David Lewis book gives advice on how to manage the information load better A/II.3 The tram started up again as the three of us made our way down the central aisle. The carriage was crowded, making it impossible for us to sit near one another. I squeezed

myself into a seat towards the back of the carriage, between a small elderly man and a matronly mother with a toddler on her lap. The seat was surprisingly comfortable and after a few moments I began to rather enjoy the journey. Opposite me were three old men reading one newspaper, held open by the man in the middle. The jogging of the tram seemed to give them difficulties and at times they argued for the command of a particular page. We had been travelling for a while when I became aware of activity around me and saw that a ticket inspector was making her way down the aisle. It occurred to me then that my companions must have purchased my ticket for me - I certainly had not acquired one on boarding. All around me, people were producing their tickets and passes Suppressing a sense of panic, I set about formulating something to say that would sound at once dignified and convincing. When the ticket inspector was towering above us and my neighbours all offered their tickets for

clipping, I announced firmly, "Im without a ticket, but in my case there are special circumstances which, if youll allow me, Ill explain to you." 70. (A) The author of the text found a seat next to his companions. (B) All of them were sitting in the front of the tram. (C) both A and B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 71. (A) There were only adults sitting around the author. (B) The whole tram journey was enjoyable for the author. (C) both A and B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 72. (A) The author was observing the passengers around him. (B) Three elderly men were happily sharing a paper. (C) both A and B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 73. (A) The ticket inspector had to collect the tickets shown to her. (B) The author had noticed the ticket inspector well before she got to him. (C) both A and B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 74. (A) The author believed his companions had his ticket with them. (B) The author managed to hide his nervousness. (C) both A and

B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 75. (A) The authors excuse sounded impolite. (B) The authors explanation was incomplete.

What exactly happened to you? Süni didnt seem to know the details I remember how uncomfortable I felt when I had to spend three days in hospital when I was having my tonsils out. I hope it was a less upsetting experience for you! As you know, I write articles for the school magazine and my editor has just asked me to write one with the title The New Man and the New Woman of the Third Millennium. I am supposed to collect ideas on what young people think male and female ideals of the future will be like and also the

reasons for their preferences. I would appreciate it if you would share your ideas with me on this subject - I need to hear views from as many people as possible and I have very little contact with your part of the world, unfortunately. You wont believe it, but Ive started to learn Spanish! Ive been going to Spain on holiday with my parents for the past four years and now, at last, Ive decided Im fed up with just being the strong silent type when it comes to communicating with the locals. The problem is I seem to be making slow progress, or is it that Im just too impatient? As you are such an experienced foreign language learner yourself, could you give me a few tips on how I could become as proficient in Spanish as you are in English? Ive got to finish now. Well have a poetry-reading session at school at 5pm Do write soon Im really looking forward to hearing from you.

On reading the following passage (A/II.1) carefully, choose ONE of the four answers (A), (B), (C) or (D) to each of the questions or unfinished statements. Choose the answer which fits the text best. A/II.1 5 10 15 20 25 30 Her name was Connie. She was fifteen and she had a quick nervous giggling habit of craning her neck to glance into mirrors or checking other peoples faces to make sure her own was all right. Her mother, who noticed everything and knew everything and who hadnt much reason any longer to look at her own face, always scolded Connie about it. "Stop

gawking at yourself, who are you? You think youre so pretty?" she would say. Connie would raise her eyebrows at these familiar complaints and look right through her mother, into a shadowy vision of herself as she was right at that moment: she knew she was pretty and that was everything. Her mother had been pretty once too, if you could believe those old snapshots in the album, but now her looks were gone and that was why she was after Connie. "Why dont you keep your room clean like your sister? How have you got your hair fixed - what the hell stinks? Hair spray? You dont see your sister using that junk." Her sister Jane was twenty-four and still lived at home. She was a secretary in the high school Connie attended, and if that wasnt bad enough - with her in the same building she was so plain and chunky and steady that Connie had to hear her praised all the time by her mother and her mothers sisters. Jane did this, Jane did that, she saved money and helped clean the house

and cooked and Connie couldnt do a thing, her mind was all filled with trashy daydreams. Their father was away at work most of the time and when he came home he wanted supper and he read the newspaper at supper and after supper he went to bed. He didnt bother talking much to them, but around his bent head Connies mother kept picking at her until Connie wished her mother were dead and she herself were dead and it were all over. There was one good thing: Jane went places with girlfriends of hers, girls who were just as plain and steady as she, and so when Connie wanted to do that her mother had no objections. The father of Connies best girlfriend drove the girls the three miles to town and left them off at a shopping plaza, so that they could walk through the stores or go to a movie, and when he came to pick them up again at eleven he never bothered to ask what they had done. They must have been familiar sights, walking around that shopping plaza in their shorts and flat ballerina

slippers that always scuffed the sidewalk, with charm bracelets jingling on their thin wrists; they would lean together to 35 whisper and laugh secretly if someone passed by who amused or interested them. 51. Connie had the habit of (A) not looking into other peoples faces. (B) checking that she looked her best. (C) staring at her own reflection everywhere. (D) laughing at people nervously all the time. 52. Connies mother thought (A) Connie was too busy with herself. (B) Connie could be prettier. (C) she was as pretty as Connie. (D) she didnt have time to check her looks in the mirror. 53. Connie used to listen to her mothers complaints (A) not daring to look into her eyes. (B) feeling ashamed of herself. (C) that took her by surprise each time. (D) caring about nothing else but her own beauty. 54. Connies mother (A) was unhappy that Jane didnt use hair spray. (B) didnt want Connie to follow her sisters example. (C) thought that Connie should clean her sisters room as well. (D) was

envious of Connies beauty. 55. Jane was often praised in front of Connie because Jane (A) had a good job. (B) was older than Connie. (C) was more practical than Connie. (D) was attractive. 56. Connie and her sister (A) spent the day at the same school. (B) were similar in their appearance. (C) both had bad manners. (D) had a similar taste. 57. Connies father (A) understood Connie without words. (B) was always on her daughters side. (C) wasnt interested in family matters. (D) was too terrified to start a fight with his wife. 58. Connie tried to escape from her mothers picking at her by (A) wishing she was older, like her sister. (B) dreaming about living with her mothers sister. (C) cleaning the house and doing the cooking as she was told. (D) thinking of all kinds of things that took her mind off her mother. 59. In line 25, what does "it" refer to? (A) Connies life. (B) Her fathers silence. (C) The quarrelling. (D) Her mothers life. 60. Connie was allowed to go out

because (A) the father of Connies best friend accompanied them. (B) her sister also liked going out with her friends. (C) there was a shopping plaza three miles away from them. (D) Connies mother thought her friends were like Janes. 61. Connie and her best friend (A) went to the shopping plaza on a regular basis. (B) always dressed up when they went out together. (C) were asked to tell their parents what they had done in the plaza. (D) used to ridicule people and laugh loudly at their looks. 62. Connie felt that (A) her mother was proud of both of her daughters. (B) she didnt get the support she needed from her family. (C) she should behave more like her sister, Jane. (D) she could always do what she wanted.

A/II.2 The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) re-homes 26,000 unwanted or abandoned dogs a year, but around 10% of these come back because their new owners are not able to cope or do not like their new pet. This can be very upsetting for a dog and each time it happens, the dog is likely to become increasingly disturbed and therefore difficult. The RSPCA wanted to reduce the number of dogs being brought back and asked an animal behavourist, Rebecca Ledger, to find out why it was happening.

Rebeccas research showed that the problem is with mismatches; people adopting dogs unsuitable for their personality. She realised that even though a dog might be a problem dog, somewhere there was a new owner who would be able to cope, it was just a matter of identifying the right person. Rebecca came up with a novel way of identifying the perfect human-canine match - a sevenstep personality test for the dog, combined with psychometric testing for the humans. The dog tests are carried out by the RSPCA kennel staff and designed to find out how confident the dog is, whether it likes being left alone, and how well it plays with other dogs and people. The human test aims to find out what the owners expect from their new pets. The tests were used in trials last year and one of the resounding successes of the scheme has been Tizer - a sheep dog who found a new home with the Leach family from Camberley. Tizer was definitely a problem dog - naughty and a bit wild - but the RSPCA was able to

identify the Leach family as one that would not give up when things get tough. Tizer is still with them a year later, calmer, quieter and much, much happier! 63. Every year the RSPCA has to find a second new home for about 2,600 dogs because the dogs cannot get along with their previous owners. 64. Few dogs become really stressed when their owners fail to get to like them 65. Some pet owners personality is unsuitable for keeping dogs 66. According to Rebecca Ledger, problem dogs cannot have an owner who is ideal for them 67. The RSPCA checks, for example, how much dogs like peoples company 68. The RSPCA asks any future dog owners to take a personality test 69. The Leach family managed to provide a new home for a problem dog because the test by RSPCA was very effective. Olvassa el figyelmesen az alábbi szöveget (A/II.3), majd döntse el a szöveginformáció alapján, hogy a szöveg alatti (A) vagy (B) állítás igaz-e, vagy mind a két előbbi állítás egyformán igaz (C), vagy

mind a kettő egyformán hamis (D)! On reading the following passage (A/II.3) carefully, decide whether statement (A) or (B) is true, or both of them are equally true (C) or neither of them is true (D) according to the text. A/II.3 The United States now has food wrap for the 21st century. Like any other cling film it forms an air barrier to stop food going off. The big difference, however, is that these food wraps are edible and tasty. Made from 100% fruit or vegetable with no additives, they come in pear, peach, strawberry, apricot and apple flavours. Or there is carrot and broccoli in the vegetable range. So whats the point of the new wrapping material? Not only is it environmentally friendly since it is totally biodegradable, but also, believe it or not, it is the latest way for the US government to encourage the nation to eat more fruit and vegetables. Apparently we should all eat five or more portions of them every day but most Americans are not eating enough. Lets see how it

works. Say you have a half-eaten apple you want to keep fresh Then wrap it in the cling film - say a strawberry flavoured one - and just pop it in the fridge. When you want to eat it, simply take it out and eat the whole lot. Not only do you get a strawberryflavoured apple, but you also get a double whammy of vitamins It is not intended that this replace food packaging - just that it adds a bit of extra flavour and goodness to your kitchen. 70. (A) The new cling film works quite similarly to the old ones (B) It does not have to be thrown out as rubbish. (C) both A and B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 71. (A) You can flavour the new food wrap to suit your taste (B) The different flavours are completely natural. (C) both A and B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 72. (A) The new cling film has a double advantage over the old one (B) Fruit and vegetables are not very popular with Americans. (C) both A and B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 73. (A) Vitamin intake will

increase if households use the new food wrap (B)The new cling film is not recommended for health-conscious people. (C) both A and B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 74. (A) The new product has to be stored in the fridge (B) The new product will come out in mixed flavours. (C) both A and B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 75. (A) Food manufacturers will introduce the new cling film soon (B) Food wrapped in this cling film will increase variety in food flavours.

Elm Cottage 25, Castle Road Longwood LA4 7JK England 18 May 2002 Dear Gabi, Its ages since I last heard from you. Its good to know that youre well and it was only the usual lack of time. Congratulations on your parents 20th wedding anniversary It was a good idea of you to organise a surprise party for them. I

hope everything went well but Id really like to know the details. Well, speaking about celebrations, we also had something to celebrate. My sister turned 16 last Sunday. She didnt want to have a birthday party at home, so we went to a restaurant We didnt go to the pub round the corner, as food isnt very interesting there. You know the usual (and frankly, quite boring) fish and chips and pies. As my sister fancies Italian food, we chose a small Italian restaurant instead. I can say it was an excellent choice We had a really wonderful time with delicious food and nice live music. It was a great evening In fact, when we go out we like to have international food. I think it beats British food any day Not that I dont like it but I love experimenting with something new. What about you? Maybe its not a big issue in a country like Hungary where cuisine is world famous. My younger brother enjoyed this evening too, especially as he didnt go home empty-handed. He added a new menu to his

collection. Gosh, his room is like a storehouse He started with pebbles and shells but hardly a month passes without him finding something worth collecting. My parents had hoped he would grow out of this habit soon but they had to realise that some people never do. I know quite a lot of grown-ups here who still have a passion for collecting things. And what about Hungary? What do people collect over there these days? Well, I must go now. My brother is nagging me to go and have a look at his latest treasures Please, write soon.

A/II.1 5 In July, I went up to the Bracketts house to collect the money they owed to our bakery. Mrs Brackett was married to a racing motorist

known in the town as Noisy Brackett; it was she who ‘had the money. Noisy was given a couple of cars and his pocket money, but, having done that, Mrs. Brackett paid as little as she could, as slowly as she could, to everyone else. I drove up to their house. I was working out a sentence to say to Mrs Brackett, when I saw her kneeling by a goldfish pond, at the far side of the great lawn. She turned and saw me. I did not know whether to go over the lawn to her or to wait where I was. I decided to go over, and she got up and walked to me I do 10 not know why it was - whether it was because I was standing on the grass as she was walking over, whether it was my anxiety about how to begin the conversation, or whether it was because of her bare white arms, and the inquisitiveness of her eyes - but I thought I was going to faint. When she was two yards away, my heart jumped, my throat closed, and my head was swimming. Although I had often seen her driving through the town, I had never 15

really looked at her before. She stopped, but I had the feeling that she had not stopped, but was invisibly walking on until she walked clean through me. My arms went weak She was amused by the effect she had on me. "I know who you are," she said. "You are Mr Frasers son Do you want to 20 speak to me?" I did, but I couldnt. I forgot all the sentences I had prepared "Ive come about our check, "I said at last. I shouted it Mrs Brackett was as startled by my shout as I was. She walked up and down a yard or two, thinking Then she walked away to the house. 25 "Youd better come inside," she called back in an offhand way. You could have put our house into the hall and sitting-room of Heading Mount. I had been in that room when I was a boy, helping the waitress when my father was there doing the catering for a party. I do not know what youd have to pay for the furniture there - thousands, I suppose. 30 "Wheres the bill?" she muttered, not

looking at me. "Ive got it here," I said, taking the bill out of my pocket. She took it from me and looked at it. "Ive paid this," she said, giving the bill a mannish slap.

A/II.2 Cutty Sark, the world famous sailing ship that in the heyday of the wool trade regularly recorded the fastest time for the voyage from Australia to Britain, is rotting away and may have to be sold abroad. The London landmark, which exchanged the seven seas for a concrete dry dock in Greenwich on the banks of the River Thames more than 50 years ago, has been given just four years before the rot and rust becomes so bad that the ship disintegrates. "We need to raise a minimum of eight million pounds ($12.6 million) for the preservation work or we will have to put her up for sale," says the Cutty Sark Trust chief executive,

Richard Doughty. According to him, the ship is virtually unique She is part of a World Heritage site and classed as a Grade I listed building. It would be a shame to lose her, but if the money cannot be raised, she may have to be sold. The ship was launched in 1869 on Scotlands River Clyde to make the run to China for the tea trade but switched to fetching wool from Australia to feed Englands mills. She was sold in 1895 to a Portuguese company when the wool trade was much less profitable, and spent the next three decades running cargoes between Oporto, Rio de Janeiro, New Orleans and Lisbon. Acquired by an English sailing fanatic in the 1920s, she was bequeathed to the nation in 1938 and finally put out to grass in Greenwich in 1951. The trust, formed to preserve the elegant sailing ship, will be putting in a bid for funds to the Heritage Lottery Fund, which uses money from the National Lottery to support local, regional and national projects to preserve Britains historical buildings

and landmarks. 63. Cutty Sark used to be the quickest cargo ship 64. Cutty Sark made its last journey half a century ago 65. A foreign investor is willing to pay 8 million pounds for the ship 66. Cutty Sark stopped transporting wool in the 19th century because a Portuguese company bought her. 67. The previous owner of the ship sold her to the state 68. The Cutty Sark Trust is hoping to win the lottery to restore the ship 69.

A/II.3 According to the federal government, harvesting tuna fish in the

Pacific Ocean using a large net does not significantly affect nearby dolphin populations, but animal and environmental groups refuse to accept the findings. A study by the National Marine Fisheries Service found that using mile-long nets to capture tuna in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean will not threaten the dolphin species. The findings mean tuna from countries such as Mexico can be exported to the United States and labeled as ‘Dolphin Safe if no dolphins were injured or killed when the fish were removed. In the past, countries that used dolphins to target tuna could not post the ‘Dolphin Safe label on products shipped to the United States. Dolphins are often a good indicator of tuna habitats and are used by fishermen to determine where to place their nets. Earlier methods of using fishing nets killed hundreds of thousands of dolphins, but deaths have dropped to 2,000 per year according to the government – still too many for environmental groups. The new rule requires that

tuna associated with the death of one or more dolphins must be separated from that considered dolphin safe. "The whole point of the Dolphin Safe label is to give consumers a choice of tuna that wasnt caught by netting dolphins," said William Snape, Vice President with the Defenders of Wildlife. 70.

(A) Tuna fish can only be caught by killing other fishes (B) ‘Dolphin Safe means that no dolphins are captured by fishing nets. (C) both A and B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 72. (A) Tuna cannot be sold in the USA without the ‘Dolphin Safe label (B) Mexico can sell tuna in the USA labeled as ‘Dolphin Safe. (C) both A and B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 73. (A) Dolphins and tuna fish often live side by side (B) Fishermen look out for dolphins to locate tuna. (C) both A and B are true

(D) neither A nor B is true 74. (A) Tuna fishing methods have become safer (B) The death rate of dolphins has hardly changed. (C) both A and B are true (D) neither A nor B is true 75.

After four days of unsuccessful house hunting, I decided to move into a new house that Im going to share with two other students. When I first met them I was a little shocked because they looked somewhat weird to me. The guy had big tattoos on his arms and the girl had

a small ring in her nose and a lot of makeup on her face. Since I liked the place a lot and because I try not to judge people by their appearances, I decided to move in. Maybe I was wrong Do you think that appearances should matter so much? It feels so good to be living on my own, away from my parents. Theres no one to tell me now when to get back home, and I can have dinner whenever I wish. Honestly, I can hardly imagine myself living together with my family again. Ive heard that in some countries its not unusual to find even three generations living together in one house under the same roof. Is that true for Hungary? What do you think about living together with grandparents? Can you imagine that? Besides moving, the other thing that has happened to me recently is that Ive taken up studying Italian. I bought a self-study book a month ago and now I spend an hour almost every evening doing the exercises and memorizing the unfamiliar words. The grammar is not always easy to

understand but I hope I will manage to learn the language eventually. I cant really afford to have a private tutor, and at the moment I have no time to attend a language course. As a language learner yourself do you think its possible to learn a language like that? What would you recommend I should do to pick up Italian fast without having to go to Italy of course? Sorry I must stop now. My flatmates have just popped in to ask me to join them for dinner. I said yes Lets see how it goes I would love to hear from you soon Love, Pat ANGOL ÍRÁSBELI ÉRETTSÉGI-FELVÉTELI FELADATSOR 2004. május 19.

A/II.1 When Mrs. Watt opened the gate she saw a fair-haired young man watching her out of the window. Wading up the path, she was

aware of him watching her every step. The road from the bus-stop had been uphill, and the sweat was trickling 5 down her forehead and fat cheeks. She wiped her face, and as she drew her fingers across her brow, she saw that the young man was still standing at the window, gazing at her. As if he were staring at something in the zoo, she thought She went to the back door, and as she was raising her hand to knock, the young man opened the door suddenly. She stood with her upraised hand in the air, feeling foolish Youll be the new charwoman? he said. She nodded and shuffled past him 10 My mothers not up yet, he said. But you can just begin She put her bag on the chair in the scullery* and as she unpinned her hat she took stock of him. He was a very pale young man with hollow cheeks He had pale blue, watery eyes that stared persistently at her from between his almost white lashes. She felt vaguely uncomfortable under his stare as she took her apron out of 15 her bag and tied it around

her fat stomach. What do you want me to do first? she said. You can do the fires, he said. He showed her the box with black-lead and brushes. You know how to clean a fire, dont you? he said. You rake out the ashes and you take away the 20 fender and -- Mrs. Watt laughed Bless me, laddie! she said I cleaned fireplaces long before you were born. He stood and watched her as she set to work. She was conscious of his watchful pale eyes, and she began to be annoyed at his continued scrutiny. He had 25 to step aside when she took out the ashes to the bin, and she said: Youre just like my first joker, he was always getting in the way. But the young man did not take the hint. He hovered about the room, moving restlessly from one chair to another. He kept up a persistent breathing through his half-open mouth. It was neither a whistle nor a tune and it began to get 30 on Mrs. Watts nerves Whatll I do next? she said. The dishes. He went before her into the scullery and pointed to a pile of dirty

dishes on the board by the sink. You know how to do them, dont you? he said You drip 35 them on this tray. Mrs. Watt laughed, but she did not say anything The laddies surely sort of simple, she said to herself. But she knitted her brows irritably when he lounged against the boiler and watched her. He was behind her, but all the time she was aware of the thin, tuneless whistling. She rattled the dishes noisily, trying to vent 40 her irritation on them.

A/II.2 Hundreds of wild elephants are the latest refugees from violence and disorder in Zimbabwe. The animals are fleeing the country by wading across the Zambezi river to escape being shot or trapped by so-called war veterans and illegal hunters. Game wardens* in Zambia say record numbers of elephants are crossing the Zambezi, which forms the border between the two countries, to avoid being poached by armed gangs in Zimbabwe. "Elephants are quite intelligent and can communicate They know they are safer on this side of the river," said one game warden. The exodus is an indication of the

devastation facing wildlife in Zimbabwe. With the breakdown of law and order, animals of all kinds are reportedly being poached on a massive scale for ivory and even for food. At Mosi-o-Tunya National Park, elephants are crossing the river daily. Wildlife experts say the movement is much larger than the normal seasonal migration and is causing a serious problem for Zambian authorities. There are so many elephants trapped in a small area that serious damage is being caused to the environment. The Zambia representative of the UK-based David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation said: "Until recently Zimbabwe had an excellent record for wildlife conservation and some of the best game parks in the world. But with land redistribution, some of the best game parks have been settled or invaded by people with no experience of wildlife management at all." The head of the Zambian Wildlife Authority said he had been assured that Zimbabwean wildlife authorities were implementing appropriate

wildlife management and providing good leadership in conservation issues. He blamed the exodus on drought and overpopulation *game warden = vadőr 63. Lots of wild elephants in Zambia are crossing the Zambezi to find a new home 64. The elephants are leaving their homeland as a result of the breakdown of law and order 65. Animals of all kinds are fleeing from illegal hunters 66. The Mosi-o-Tunya National Park is the largest wild-life reserve in the region 67. According to the Zambia representative, the best game parks in Zimbabwe are being destroyed. 68. Zimbabwean officials admit that wildlife management is no longer in good hands in their country. 69. Some Zambian officials claim that the movement of the wild elephants is partly due to bad weather conditions.

A/II.3 The futures red. English Heritage and Royal Mail yesterday promised to preserve all 85,000 of Englands remaining pillar boxes, describing them as national icons. "They are wonderful things, universally and properly regarded with great affection," English Heritages chief executive, Sir Neil Cossons, said yesterday. "They have every quality of good design." The project marks the 150th anniversary of the first pillar boxes, brainchild of the novelist Anthony Trollope, then a General Post Office employee, who was sent to the Channel Islands to report on ways of improving the postal service. The first public pillar boxes were not red but green. They were installed, on trial, in St Helier, Jersey, on November 23 1852. Instantly popular, within 10

years they were being installed all over Britain. Their cheerful pillar box red colour was introduced in 1874 for visibility. English Heritage has already listed 198 boxes, including a small wall box outside the old home of Charles Dickens in Kent, which was installed in 1859 and is still in daily use. The oldest mainland pillar box in use is in Dorset, and dates from 1853. Listed examples include rare octagonal and fluted* designs. Some from the 1930s, including one outside Windsor Castle, were painted air force blue and designed for air mail; some were topped with oval enamel plaques which pointed the way towards the nearest post office. English Heritage and Royal Mail agree they must devise a preservation policy for the boxes. "People are protective of them, we get heaps of letters if a truck runs into one," Sir Neil said. *fluted = bordázott 70.

The neighbours kids are playing rather noisily in the street and their dog is barking his head off in the front garden. Ones neighbours can be a real bit of a nuisance sometimes, dont you think? Have you got any bad experiences with your neighbours or are your next door folks all nice guys? The neighbours kids are twins, but, funnily enough, they look completely different. One looks quite like their mother, while the other takes after their horrible father, I think. As I am an only child, I have always wanted to have some siblings. Imagine what fun twins can have throughout their lives playing various practical jokes on the people they come across. Im sure theres no end to all the mischief they can get away with! Would you like to be one of identical twins? What do you think it would be like?

Mums just come home from one of her usual shopping sprees with a handful of carrier bags and parcels again! She is a real shopaholic if ever theres been one! Im sure dad will make a big fuss of how much mum is spending on all that rubbish. Dad keeps saying that if mum carries on cruising the nearby shops and shopping centres like this, shell spend all the household budget on those real snippets, which are mostly useless, anyway. Is shopaholism a problem in Hungary too? Do you know anyone who simply cant resist a good bargain? I think Ill go for a walk now down by the canal to have some peace.

Some sentence structure variety, but not sufficient 3 Max.

2 severe errors; structural inaccuracies do not impair sense; number of less severe errors limited (not exceeding 5). Attempt at sentence structure variety partly successful 4 No severe errors; number of less severe inaccuracies low (not exceeding 4). Sentence structure variety acceptable. 5 Practically error-free; max. 3 minor inaccuracies Consistent and appropriate variety of sentence structure; short and long, simple and complex sentences as appropriate for the informal style of the letter. 4.

On reading the following

passage carefully, choose ONE of the four answers (A), (B), (C) 8 and (D) to each of the questions or unfinished statements. Choose the answer which fits the text best. Some fifteen years ago I had been offered the job of selling off an estate of paintings. One of my friends in the art business had recommended me. Why me? My friend was a busy dealer who had neither the time, space, nor inclination to sell off a large but undistinguished lot of paintings. I was hired to rent a gallery for one year, advertise the works of art, sell as many as possible for their appraised value and at the end of the year hand over tha remainder to public auction. One of my first customers was an elderly lady who bought a bowl of flowers by Luis Valtat. While I was wrapping her purchase she asked if I knew a portrait painter who could work from a photograph. As I was about to reply, an old man, who had been inspecting the collection, stepped forward and assured my customer he was the best portrait

painter around. He was one of those people who was never made to wear human clothing. His long hairy arms extended some two feet below his side pockets. He introduced himself as Novak Ratkovitch His eyes popped from furlined sockets as he awaited our approval. From head to ankles he was a fashion disaster but he was wearing the finest grade Johnson and Murphy shoes. Taken aback by this apparition in hand-crafted footwear, the woman gave Ratkovitch a wrinkled photograph of her late husband. „Paint a good likeness and I’ll pay you five hundred dollars,” she said. About a week later the artist returned with the painting and I called the lady. At her request I agreed to delover both artist and portrait to her Park Avenue Residence the next evening. To our surprise, upon arrival we found three other artists with similar portraits awaiting the patroness. The lady appeared with a very old spaniel „Laddie was my husband’s dog I will buy the painting he likes best. He loved my Edgar

so,” she said Upon seeing a commission turn into a competition Ratkovitch picked up his painting and asked for directions to the washroom, leaving me to control my irritation at being so neatly swindled. He returned, just as the angry artists were propping up their paintings for Laddie’s inspection. Ratkovitch placed his portrait with the others The dog immediately limped over to Ratkovitch’s painting and began licking the face of his departed master, totally ignoring the other works. Ratkovitch accepted the five hundred dollars. He winked knowingly at me, and we made our way outside Trying to contain myself after the miracle I’d just witnessed, I waited for Ratkovitch to speak, He finally admitted that he’d gone to the kitchen, were he’d smeared bacon grease on his portrait: hence the dog’s reaction. 51.

Yesteday’s technological marvels improved life by producing quantum leaps in manufacturing efficiency, helping to shorten the workweek in

industrial societies. The marvels of today, concentrated in telecommunications, are supposed to be having the same impact in the post-industrial world. According to statistics, U. S productivity has risen substantially faster in the last six years than in the preceding 20, and similar improvements have been detected elsewhere. Many 11 workers say that modern-day, labour saving devices are actually driving an expansion of work time and an intrusion of the office into home. Roy McCloughry, an economist-turned-writer on social ethics in Nottingham, says: „There is great tension at the moment between standard of living and quality of life, and technology is on the side of standard of living. We’re being sold technological devices all the time and told they’re convenient. It’s only when you’ve got them that you realise that lives have been changed by them, and maybe for the worse.” An indicator that things might change is the degree of stress people are suffering.

McCloughry says: „We are accommodating to machines rather than machines accommodating to us. It’s almost as if the convenience of technology has led us to adapting to ways that cause human beings stress.” Terence Gourvish, a professor of business at the London School of Economics, says that a notion that „the simplest is often the best” could take hold and „provide a check on the gadgetry revolution”. „People who filter coffee through paper are not mad, and I don’t think people particularly want to watch TV on their wrist, „ he says. „If it doesn’t add significantly to people’s lives and enjoyment, the consumer in the end will say, ’We don’t need this’. ” 63. It is believed that improvements in telecommunications have helped to reduce the workweek in the post-industrial world. 64. The recent increase in US productivity due to an intrusion of one’s work into one’s home life. 65. According to McCloughry, modern technology always helps to change

people’s lives for the better. 66. Modern technology adapts to how people live 67. McCloughry says that people are willing to tolerate stress for the sake of the convenience technology offers to them. 68. Gourvish’s view is that modern technological devices are not the best means to help us live a better life. 69. According to Gourvish, consumers will buy new technological devices only if they are really likely to improve the quality of people’s lives.

On reading the following passage carefully, decide, according to the text, whether statement (A) is true, or (B) is true, or both of them are equally true (C), or neither of them is true (D). Bike sheds and buses were unveiled yesterday as the answer to the traffic jams caused

by the school rush. A Government panel called for cheap bus travel for all schoolchildren and better, more secure bicycle facilities at schools. The School Travel Adisory Group (STAG) also wants local authorities to introduce school buses for children not entitled to free fares and wants the Highway Code and driving tests to include sections on school travel. Within ten years the committee would like to double the number of children travelling to school by means other than individual cars. This would take school traffic back to levels recorded in the mid-1980s. Ultimately the panel 12 hopes to „make it possible for every child to walk, cycle or take the bus or train to school”. It claims that this will bring long-term health benefits to the children and clear up congested roads. The plans were criticised for not going far enough and for failing to tackle the issue of safety. Many parents fear their children will be run over or attacked by perverts if left to make their own way

to school. Carey Newson of Transport 2000, wich wants 20mph limits around schools, said: „The report fails to show how roads will be made safer. It puts too much responsibility on schools to solve the traffic problems.” In the past ten years the proportion of journeys to school by car has nearly doubled, from 16 to 29 percent. At 850 in the morning during the school year, one in five cars on urban roads is taking children to school. 70. A. Traffic jams around schools are partly due to the fact that few children choose to cycle to school. B. The problem could be solved by introducing special bus services for all schoolchildren. C. both A and B are true D. neither A nor B is true 71. A. The School Travel Advisory Group (STAG) intends to change the Highway Code. B. Learner drivers might be instructed on how to drive near schools C. both A and B are true D. neither A nor B is true 72. A. Fifteen years ago twice as many children went to school by bus, by bike or on foot. B. Over the

last ten years almost twice as many children have come to school by car. C. both A and B are true D. neither A nor B is true 73. A. According to the panel, schoolchildren’s health will be unaffected by the proposal if it is accepted. B. If children walk or cycle to school, road accidents or crime against them may increase. C. both A and B are true D. neither A nor B is true 74. A. Road safety will be improved according to the proposal of the STAG 13 B. The STAG wants to put 20 mph limits around schools to prevent road accidents. C. both A and B are true D. neither A nor B is true 75. A. If the proposal is accepted, schools won’t have to worry about traffic jams B. At the moment, one fifth of parents in urban areas prefer to drive their children to school. C. both A and B are true D. neither A nor B is true ”B” RÉSZ – FOGALMAZÁSI FELADAT PART B – COMPOSITION (60 minutes; dictionaries may be used) Olvassa el figyelmesen a képzeletbeli angol levelezőtárstától

Dear Reni, Thanks for your letter. It was so nice of you to write with all the studying you have to do My situation is pretty much the same: studying day in, day out. I’m taking a short break at the moment, so I’ve decided to drop you a few lines. Now that I’m in the middle of the exam period I can hardly afford any time off with a clear conscience. It’s rather hard to cope with the strains of having to learn this great amount of material within such tight time limits. All this trees has even affected my sleep. How can you manage the pressures of studying? I would really appreciate some good advice! Sitting by my desk over my books is really getting me down. Imagine, in the past three weeks 14 I have only been to the cinema once. In a sense, even that had to do with my studies You know, I’ve got an exam on Renaissance literature, so I went to see this modern adaptation of a A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s always interesting to see to what extent the film version of a

play /novel is different from the original book version. I found this new interpretation of Shakespeare rather intriguing. I do suggest you go and see it We could then compare our views. Anyway, what do you think of modern film adptations of such literary classics in general? My friend and I went to the Odeon, which is a very comfortable cinema, also superbly equipped technically, but I was annoyed by the amount of rubbish scattered on the floor. I just don’t see why can’t be a bit more conscious of their environment. After all, it is the world we all live in. In this respect, though, the good news is that the local authorities have recently launched an experimental project of recycling domestic waste. It’s good to know that they are trying to do something at least. Is there greater enviromental awareness in your country or are people just the same there too? In what ways are Hungarian people encouraged to pay more attention to their environment? It would be interesting to know

if the situation is any different in your part of the world. I think I’d better get back to studying now. I hope you’re OK Do find some time to write Cheers, Dan 15 ANGOL ÍRÁSBELI ÉRETTSÉGI–FELVÉTELI FELADAT (1996) A vizsga időbeosztás A. Feleletválasztós teszt (segédeszköz nem használható) B.

After reading the text below, decide whether the statements that follow are, according to the text, TRUE, FALSE or NOT

STATED (that is, the text gives no information about the statement). Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet in the following way: (A) = TRUE (B) = FALSE (C) = NOT STATED A man was arrested after driving 14 miles the wrong way along a motorway with only three wheels on his car. The 65-year-old ignored drivers flashing their lights and police cars as he travelled along the M4 early yesterday with sparks flying from the front wheel hub. The Volkswagen Jetta was finally halted outside Reading when police laid spikes across the motorway to puncture the other three tyres. The driver, from Neasden, northwest London, then crashed into the back of a police car. He was arrested on suspicion of being unfit to drive through drink or drugs and taken to Maidenhead police station. 81. The driver was arrested near Neasden 82. He didnt realise that one of his wheels was missing 83. Other drivers tried to warn him that he was on the wrong side of the motorway 84. Police cars tried to stop him by firing

sparks from their front wheel hubs 85. It is unlikely that he had been drinking or taking drugs Text 2. Read the text and do the same as above The father of a French girl feared abducted by a lorry driver has travelled to Britain to help detectives hunt for his daughter amid growing concern that she may have been murdered. Bernard Figard, a farmer, has helped police draw up a profile of his daughter Celine, 19, who disappeared last week in New Forest, Hampshire, after hitching a lift. 86. Bernard Figard had no reason to worry about his daughter 87. Celine left home without her fathers knowledge 88. Celine was probably given a lift by a lorry driver 89. People think it unlikely that she has been murdered 90. Bernard Figard went to England to give information about his daughter Text 3. Read the text below, then answer questions about it I work for cats. That was how Mrs Bond introduced herself on my first visit, gripping my hand firmly and thrusting out her jaw defiantly. She was a big

woman with a strong face and a commanding presence and I wouldnt have argued with her anyway, so I nodded gravely as though I fully understood and agreed, and allowed her to lead me into the house. I saw at once what she meant. The big kitchen–living–room had been completely given over to cats. There were cats on the sofas and chairs and spilling in cascades on to the floor, cats sitting in rows along the window sills and right in the middle of it all, little Mr Bond, pallid, wispy-moustached, in his shirt sleeves reading a newspaper. It was a scene which was going to become very familiar. Some of the cats were obviously uncastrated Toms because the atmosphere was vibrant with their distinctive smell–a fierce pungency which overwhelmed even the sickly wisps from the big saucepans of cat food 13 bubbling on the stove. And Mr Bond was always there, always in his shirt sleeves and reading his paper, a lonely little island in a sea of cats. I was never able to find out his

attitude to cats come to think of it he hardly ever said anything–but I had the impression he could take them or leave them. I had heard of the Bonds, of course. They were Londoners who for some obscure reason had picked on North Yorkshire for their retirement. They had bought an old house on the outskirts of Darrowby where they kept themselves to themselves–and the cats. I had heard that Mrs Bond was in the habit of taking in strays and feeding them and giving them a home if they wanted it and this had predisposed me in her favour, because in my experience the unfortunate animals seemed to be fair game for every kind of cruelty and neglect. They shot cats, threw things at them, starved them and set their dogs on them for fun. It was good to see somebody taking their side. Now answer these questions by marking which of the four answers is (A, B, C or D) TRUE according to the text there is only one right answer! 91. From the extract we learn that (A) the author had been to the

Bonds before. (B) this was the only time the author had visited the Bonds. (C) this was the first of the authors numerous visits to the Bonds. (D) the author didnt intend to visit the Bonds again. 92. Mrs Bond seems to be (A) a self-assured person. (B) a fragile woman. (C) an agreeable person. (D) fond of arguments. 93. When she said "I work for cats" Mrs Bond probably meant that she (A) did a meaningless job. (C) spent her time looking after cats. (B) worked for a cat food company. (D) officially looked after homeless animals. 94. On hearing the above sentence, the author (A) understood immediately what Mrs (C) agreed with Mrs Bond. Bond meant. (B) was somewhat puzzled. (D) felt like arguing with Mrs Bond. 95. The downstairs area of the house (A) was not used by the Bonds any more. (B) smelled strongly of male cats. (C) made the author feel at home. (D) was in a mess because the cats had spilled and upset things. 14 96. The Bonds (A) spent most of the year

in London. (B) disliked North Yorkshire for some unknown reason. (C) had no social life. (D) didnt talk to each other. 97.

(D) wasnt bothered by the house being full of cats. 98. Mr Bond seems to be (A) more significant-looking than his wife. (B) hostile to the author. (D) living in a world of his own. 99. The Bonds (A) also kept other animals. (B) didnt look after their cats properly. (C) were sometimes cruel to animals. (D) took in cats from the street. (C) unemployed. 100. On the whole, the author seems to . (A) appreciate Mrs Bonds attitude. (C) be indifferent towards Mrs Bond and her cats. (B) be appalled by the Bonds way of (D) take sides with the cat-chasers. life. PART B - COMPOSITION

(65 minutes; dictionaries may be used) Below is a readers letter from an imaginary newspaper. As you read it, you may find some details inaccurate. Write a polite letter (of about 300 to 350 words) to the editor, explaining what you find inaccurate and offering more information. Here is the letter you decide to answer: Sir, Having road your enthusiastic article about Hungary in your Sunday issue, I decided to offer some more realistic advice to the would-be visitor. Here it is If you insist on driving, be prepared for chaos on the roads. There is no speed limit in Hungary and most drivers are constantly drunk. (Some refuse to set out before drinking half a litre of vodka.) As for Lake Balaton, its water is incredibly dirty and I found it unfit for swimming. They tell me that last year there were dead fish rotting all over the place, in the water and among the reeds, and the stench drove all foreign visitors away. 15 You might hope to be consoled by food, but there again

disappointment will await you. Hungarians use nothing but red pepper to flavour all their dishes. Beware of anything labelled a ,national dish which they recommend with great warmth, so that they can watch you choke and bring up whatever youve managed to force down. My advice, then, is this. Go by air or rail (if you must), take your own food and stay as briefly as possible. By the way, Budapest is a nice city, offering some interesting shows even in summer.

A growing number of airlines have amenities such as fully reclining sleepers seats as well as furnishing eye shades and slipper socks. 81. Added airline privileges serve to attract an increasing number of clients 82. In the second sentence, the word „amenities” could be substituted with „comforts” 83. Special privileges are exactly the same with most airlines 84. At some international airports first-class restaurants have been established 85. Frequent services airlines are growing due to a special reduction in prices A/III.2 At a recent Victim Support conference Stuart Ferguson, who had

almost died in an attempted murder, claimed that the criminal justice system does not give a chance for victims to tell the court the effects that haunt them and their families. The victim has no special status in a trial, his fears and grievances are seldom formally aired. 86. Stuart Ferguson was nearly killed by a criminal 87. He thinks that a change is needed in court to allow victims to be heard 88. The jury do not know what the victims and their families have had to go through and how much they have suffered. 89. The door of the court-house is rarely opened when there is a trial 90.

Choose the answer which fits the text best. A/III.3 At two o’clock one very hot August Sunday, Mrs Doe sat down in the sitting-room, where it was always cool, to write to her son Frank,

who lived in Australia. By four o’clock she had written, ’Dear Frank, Tahnk you for your last letter, sorry I have been so long replying, only’ – and that was all. Only what? Frank’s last letter, or rather his wife Veronica’s last letter, for she did all the writing except at Christmas, had arrived in March. How did she explain five months’ silence? She hadn’t been ill. She hadn’t been what you could call busy Nothing had happened to write to Australia about, that was the trouble. She’d been invited so many times to go and meet Frank’s family. Every year for the last ten years since he started making money out of his farm, Frank had invited her to visit them in Australia, all expenses paid, for as long as she chose to stay. Always she had replied ’We’ll see.’ But it never went further Sometimes she wondered if the people in the coloured photographs they kept sending existed at all. Was that Frank, now quite a lot heavier than that confident-looking boy of

nineteen who had gone out to Australia so long ago? And his wife, Veronica, who had long red hair and a permanent smile – who was she? Mrs Doe had studied her photographs extremely closely and she still could get no idea. Her letters were warm and friendly enough but they were only words on paper. You couldn’t tell from letters At least, Mrs Doe hoped you couldn’t. Heaven forbid that anyone should judge her by her painful letters Only her grandchildren’s little messages had any real value. Surprisingly, the girl Carol, who was fourteen, did not write well and never had much to say, but the boy Paul, who was ten, was a good writer. She enjoyed his little letters and it made her sad to think he would never know from her few words how pleased she was. What a waste!

Choose the answer which fits the text best. A/II. 1 5. 10. 15. 20. 25. 30. 35. I was greeted by a doorman, perhaps hired for the occasion, then Birdwood and his wife said their tense hellos. The others were shiny and dressed up and alert I was handed a card. Four circles on it represented tables A red dot indicated my place There was an intense watchfulness, guests listening hard but too nervous to hear clearly. A mostly American gathering, it was first names and fixed smiles and bright, anxious eyes. In the mirror of the reception room I saw that I did not look the way I felt, and that I

could pass for a guest at a dinner party. Apart from Laird Birdwood and Charmian, there was no one in the room whom I recognised. A man standing next to me smiled. I spoke to him Deaf with anxiety, he did not hear me Another man began talking as I approached him, possessed by an almost hysterical talkativeness. I could imagine all these reactions in passengers in a jammed elevator claustrophobia, insecurity, fear. No one mentioned the Queen "What are you working on?" a man asked. I began to give him my tentative answer and was relieved to see that he was not listening. Birdwood was saying, "Actually very unexpected," to a woman who replied, "Perhaps better not to speculate." Were they talking about the royal visit? If so, there was nothing more, and yet I was sure this was on every guests mind. We were participants in a seance that was about to begin, too nervous anticipating what was to come to mention anything so obvious as the object of the seance. The

drama of the moment made for the most frenetic and banal chit-chat. The English guests were the most talkative "I think the sun was trying to come out today." "Weve been extraordinarily lucky this winter." Drinks were brought around by servants who, less nervous and better dressed than the guests, seemed slightly superior and almost mocking in the way they offered wine. "I say, what are you working on?" I was asked again by someone else. We stood, the men in black, the women in pretty gowns under the chandeliers, as the time of the seance drew on, and we were helpless, waiting for any sign that something definite was stirring. Our eyes were averted from the large door that was the entrance to the room: no one wanted to be caught peeking. "Not much," I said. No one listened, no one heard me. A man was saying, "Its always that way, isnt it?" and I had no idea what he was talking about. He was faced in my direction, still talking

obscurely, still making no sense to me, nor was he looking at me. The room had gone very quiet. 51. According to the text, when the writer arrived most guests were A. relaxed and chatting to one another B. ignoring each other C. very hungry D. uncomfortable and expectant 52. From the card the writer could tell that the dinner tables were A. probably four in number B. for four people each C. arranged in groups of four D. arranged in a circle 53.

The writer talked to someone A. who turned out to be deaf B. who he had met in the lift earlier C. who was too nervous to listen D. who didnt speak the same language 55. Most of the people at the gathering were A. English guests who were chatting excitedly B. Americans on first name terms who were enjoying themselves C. Americans on first name terms who looked stiff and uncomfortable D.

Most of the conversation that the writer overheard was about A. important matters B. trivial matters C. the person they were waiting for D. people who were not there 57.

Most people have left the extreme version behind by their mid-20s. But for those who do not, shyness can influence every area of life. Dr Fred Orr is the author of a new self-help book on how to conquer shyness. "I have spent thousands of hours working with people who are so self doubting, so self-concerned that they dont do anything," he says. "They avoid job opportunities. Social occasions and situations which they have to attend can be absolute agony." Dr Orrs book takes a practical approach but, like losing weight, conquering shyness cannot be achieved overnight. "Many people hope for a magical solution," he says "But having shaken hands, they then find they have nothing to say. Im saying - be prepared At the most basic level, reading the papers and seeing

movies give you something to talk about." Judi James, 46, is a former model, now a corporate trainer and writer living in London. She describes herself as having been terminally shy. Ms James says her shyness developed in childhood, as a way of getting away from the attention lavished on her. "I was an only child," she says. "Every time I spoke, everybody listened Most kids have to fight for attention, but only children shy away from it. I was always at the back of the class, and not particularly good socially. Then you hear people describing you as shy, so it makes it difficult to get out of it." She has overcome her shyness, through ongoing hard work "Its a bit like a muscle You dont need to be born with it, but youve got to work it every day." 63. An increased heartbeat can be one of the physical signs of shyness 64. Most young adults become able to control their shyness to a manageable extent 65. People who are really shy never leave the house

66. At parties nobody wants to talk to a shy person 67. Judi James was ignored as a child 68. To defeat shyness one needs to make a continuous effort 69. According to Judi James, the more other people pointed out her shyness, the easier it was for her to overcome it.

AII. 3 The package tour to Ibiza left from Gatwick. When Pietro had gone to Italy with his mother they had flown from Heathrow, so this was the first time he had seen the thronging families of uncertain Britons preparing for abroad. He liked it much better than Heathrow There were

pretty girls of about his age, slightly over-made-up, peering out from beneath the wings of their harassed families. Their fathers gave orders in loud voices to show they werent nervous and their mothers talked about the price of refreshments, the whereabouts of toilets and tickets, the closeness of the hand baggage. The girls tried by their looks to disown their parents as they would later on the beach and in the discotheques; Pietro felt at an advantage having only a father to shrug off. They were in an apartment in a new block about two hundred yards back from the beach. Pietro was sharing a room with his father, which had its drawbacks for both of them. The old mans idea of a good morning was to go to the beach early to get a favourable spot, erect a sunshade and read a book on etymology: Pietro found getting up before ten was a torture. He liked to go to the beach about eleven with a book recommended by Mr Maxwell at the US Collegiate, sunbathe for an hour, swim vigorously,

open the book and close his eyes. 70.

The three paragraphs in the letter deaf with separate topics You are expected to write about the topics in paragraphs 2 and 3 in greater length than about the one in paragraph 1. 5, Green Lane Burndale DH3 SJK England 12 May 1998 Dear Reni, I have just received your letter. As I have some free time this afternoon I thought I would write to you now. Im too tired anyway to do any serious work at the moment, because I was watching television late last night. The TV is a real problem for me, I find it rather difficult to switch it off. Sometimes I can be glued to the box for hours on end Do people in Hungary also watch a lot of TV? It must be tempting with all the channels that are available to you nowadays. There must be quite a bit of channel-hopping going on, but of course not everybody can understand as many foreign languages as you do! I didnt only go to bed late last night, but 1 also got up at five this morning! You know, this is the

time I go swimming. I only go three times a week, but there are some kids who take their swimming really seriously, dreaming of gold medals and all the championships they are going to win. That reminds me: how did your little sisters last tennis championship shape up? If she goes on like that shell soon be a top-seeded superstar making a fortune. I have always wondered though if in professional sports the moneys worth all the effort that goes into it. What do you think about this? Speaking of money, that reminds me: theres a lot more petty crime around nowadays than there used to be. For example, the Smiths flat down the street was burgled last night The burglars must have guessed that the Smiths were away on holiday, as their letterbox was jammed with all the junkmail that we get delivered around here. This consumer society we live in can be a real nuisance at times. I expect things in Hungary must also be going the same way. What is it really like in Hungary now? Have peoples values

and attitudes to money changed in the recent past? Have the changes affected you in any way? Even though Hungary is not that far away from here, we dont really get to know whats happening there. Time to stop now. Im meeting some friends in half an hour I hope youre fine Do write Let me know your news.

On reading the following passage (A/II.1) carefully, choose ONE of the four answers (A), (B), (C) and (D) to each of the questions or unfinished statements. Choose the answer which fits the text best. A./II1 The room was, by now, growing steadily more familiar to me. The triangular clock on the wall, the cream foam sofa, the three - tiered hi-fi cabinet; I found object after object, as my gaze fell on it, bringing with it a sad feeling of recognition. However, as I continued to

peer into the room, I gained the strong impression that the whole of the rear section - which adjoined the main portion to form an L - had not previously been there at all , that it was a 9 very recent addition. Nevertheless, as I continued to look at it, this same rear section seemed in itself strongly reminiscent, and after a moment I realised this was because it resembled exactly the back part of the sitting -room in the house my parents and I had lived in for several months in Manchester. "You wont find anyone in there," a mans voice said behind me. Straightening, I saw that the speaker had emerged from the neighbouring apartment. He was standing In front of his door, at the top of a stairway parallel to the one I was standing on. The man was around fifty, with heavy, bulldog - like features. He was shabbily dressed; his T -shirt had a damp patch around the chest. "Ah," I said, "so this apartment is empty?" The man shrugged. "Maybe theyre

coming back My wife and I dont like an empty apartment next to us, but after all that trouble, were relieved, I can tell you. Were not unfriendly people. But after all of that, well, wed much sooner have it the way it is now Empty." "Ah. So its been empty for some time Weeks? Months?" "Oh, a month at least. They might be coming back, but we wouldnt care if they didnt Mind you, I felt sorry for them at times. Were not unfriendly people And weve been through difficult times ourselves. But when it goes on like that, well, you just want them to go Wed rather have it empty." "I see. A lot of trouble" "Oh, yes. To be fair, I dont think there was physical violence But still, when you had to listen to them shouting late at night, i t was very upsetting. My wife didnt like it one bit Whenever it started, she used to bury her head in the pillow. Even in the kitchen once I came in and there she was, cooking with a pillow around her head. But whenever we saw

him, he was sober. Hed give us a quick salute and be on his way" 51. In the first paragraph, the author describes the room as a place which A. is attractively furnished B. he knows well as he used to live in it C. hes been inside before D. has very little furniture inside 52.

Mark your answer in the following way: A = TRUE B = FALSE C = NOT STATED A/II.2 Almost three fifths of rail commuters suffer delayed journeys at least twice a week, often arriving late for work or incurring extra costs, according to a pas senger survey published today. The

study, by the Consumers Association, said the rising number of complaints reflected "not the occasional bad experience, but a daily ordeal of poor services and late, unreliable and overcrowded trains." One in seven passengers said their trains had been late at least five times in the week of the survey, which took place during mild weather last September. Replicated on a national scale, this would suggest that more than 200,000 commuters faced hold - ups every journey. More than 40 per cent of travellers said unpunctual services made them late for work at least once during the week, and a slightly higher proportion experienced delays on the way home. Poor timekeeping also led to additional financial burdens for many passen gers in the form of higher childcare fees, extra parking charges or taxi fares. Overcrowded carriages were a further problem, with four in 10 rail users saying they had to stand at least once a week, and one in 10 reporting that their usual train had been

so congested that they had to wait for the next one. The Railway Forum, which represents all the industrys main companies, accepted that some points in the study were "well - founded" and that passengers had a right to expect efficient services. Investment was higher than for many years, though the benefits would take time to become evident. A spokesman added: "More people are travelling by rail and more services are in operation, indicating that all is not bad and that the industry is moving in the right direction." 63. According to the survey, one fifth of rail commuters have no problem with trains on their way to work. 64. Unreliable and overcrowded trains are quite typical of train services 65. The survey was conducted on a national scale 66. Roughly, half of the r ail commuters who took part in the survey had to put up with unpunctual trains once or twice a week. 67. Because of the delays some travellers could not reach their destinations 68. Finding a seat

caused a serious problem for the majority of passengers 69. In spite of passengers complaints, the spokesman of the Railway Forum is optimistic about the future of train services. On reading the following passage (A/II.3) carefully, decide, according to the text, whether statement (A) is true, or (B) is true, or both of them are equally true (C), or neither of them is true (D). 12 A/II.3 On December 31 st, 1999, Christian nations all around the world will be in the grip of the biggest celebration in history. The best party will be in London, where the British taxpaye r is putting on a dazzling display of fireworks and entertainment centred on the very spot where the millennium will start: the international time line at Greenwich. It was here that the British, with a theatrical sense of empire, decided that the zero lin e of longitude should be struck. In Rome, the more quiet - minded could join the Popes prayer vigil at St Peters Basilica, to contemplate the horrors of the past

1,000 years and the hopes of the next. Both London and Rome will spend much of 1999 on publi c works in preparation for celebrations throughout 2000. There will be "silence audible" throughout the West from Friday, December 24th until Sunday, January 2nd. Britain has a special holiday on both December 31 st and January 3rd to keep people away from their offices. Every airport in the world will be at a standstill on January 1st, as no one will want to fly on a day when computers might fail. Spare a thought for those to whom this event has less significance: to Muslims for whom it will be the year 14 20, to Jews for whom it will be 5760 and for 1.1 billion Chinese for whom it wilt be the year of the Rabbit.

-COMPOSITION (60 minutes; dictionaries may be used) Read the letter from your imaginary English pen - friend carefully, then WRITE A REPLY TO IT (300-350 words). WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR A SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE TASK: 1. The names in the letter have both male and female versions, you can choose either 2. Your address is: 2135 Fecskevár, Rózsa u 21 3. The three paragraphs in the letter deal with separate topics You are expected to write about the topics in paragraphs 2 and 3 in greater length than about the one in paragraph 1. Oak Cottage 3, North Road Eastbury England 18 May 1999 Dear Gabi, A letter from you at long last - and I thought Id have to wait another light - year for a brief note from you to come! OK, OK, Im just joking, as usual. Of course, its nice that youve finally found time to write to me. I do understand, though: you have better things to do than write letters to remote friends - now that youre head over heels in love. Whats your sweetheart like then? Id love

to know what y ou mean by that perfect partner of yours. Im afraid my life is less rosy at the moment. I have to get up at the break of day every morning from Monday through Friday. Im working at a construction site eight hours a day (sometimes even longer than that) - come rain or shine. Ive got to admit that Im pretty exhausted by the end of the day too. This summer work experience is a compulsory part of my studies, but Im happy to have this opportunity: hopefully, it will make it easier for me to find a job after graduating. Have you ever done any work in the summer? Is it typical for young people in Hungary to get summer jobs? Do they work for the sake of experience or because they need the money? I also have something nice to look forward to, though. On Satu rday a couple of friends and I are going to see Grease, an old favourite of mine. I can still hardly believe that we managed 14 to get tickets to such a smash hit! For me, going to the theatre is always a special

occasion, but you know all too well how fond of the theatre I am. I will, of course, write to you about the performance in my next letter. You should also give me a good description of the piece you are going to see this week: every minute detail is a real treat for such a theatre freak as I am! Ive got to finish now. Id like to get this letter to the post - office before they close Do keep in touch. Being in love is a great feeling, but it doesnt mean you should neglect old friends like me. Cheers, Happy 15 ANGOL ÍRÁSBELI ÉRETTSÉGI–FELVÉTELI FELADATOK (2000) MEGOLDÁS JAVÍTÁSI ÚTMUTATÓ A vizsgát érettségiként is író tanulók a középiskola számára másolatot készítenek a tesztválaszlapból, illetve a fogalmazást indigóval, 2 példányban írják. Part A – Feleletválasztós teszt (75 pont) A tesztkérdések helyes megoldását lásd a mellékelt mátrixon. A kivágott mátrixot a hallgató megoldására (Tesztválaszlap) ráhelyezve kitűnik, hol

hiányzik az X. Az ilyen üres helyekre piros jelet (de ne X-et!) tegyünk, hogy a hibákat rögzítsük. Minden piros jel 1 pont levonást jelent a 75-ből. A mátrixot levéve hibákat öszeszámoljuk, és az elért pontszámot a lap aljára beírjuk. Minden kérdésnek csak egy megoldása van, ha vizsgázó egynél több X-et tett ugyanahhoz a kérdéshez, az mindenképpen rossz megoldásnak számít. Ilyenkor az illető kérdés sorát piros vonallal húzzuk át. Part B – Fogalmazás (25 pont) A fogalmazásban a vizsgázónak angol levelezőtársának kell válaszlevelet írnia a megadott magyar néven. A vizsgázónak a megadott levél három fő témájára úgy kell reagálnia, hogy a második és a harmadik bekezdés témáját bővebben fejtse ki, mint az első bekezdését. A fogalmazás ideálisan 300-350 szavas. A lényeg nem a terjedelem, hanem a feladat minél jobb szintű teljesítése (azaz a sikeres kommunikáció), valamint a nyelvtani, szókincsbeli és

helyesírási pontosság. 1.

In order to ensure that all candidates are treated fairly and as objectively as possible, markers are advised not to give global marks, but to consider each criterion separately and add up the total afterwards. Please use the marking grid printed on the reverse side of „Értékelőlap” Write the marks into the grid and check the appropriate boxes. 1. Puropose, Audience and Style (0-2 points) Has the candidate used a suitable style matching the purpose and the audience

of the letter? 0. Inappropriately formal style and/or a bad mixture of formal and informal elements The conventions of letter writing in English not observed. 1.

Vocabulary and spelling (0-5 points) Does the letter contain a wide range of vocabulary items? Is spelling accurate? 0. Elementary, simplistic vocabulary throughout the whole letter, sufficent to express only basic ideas, but nothing of real interest. Most vocabulary is used erroneously Several spelling errors indicating instability of spelling routines. 1. Vocabulary not quite sufficient for efficient communication throughout the whole letter; variety and accuracy limited; sometimes undue effort needed to understand it, occasionally, however,

able to communicate something of interest. The instability of vocabulary knowledge is also reflected in the occurrence of a few spelling errors. 2. Basic vocabulary used efficiently, but not enough variety throughout the whole letter; inaccuracies, lexical repetitions, circumlocutions or too general expressions occur; on the whole, sufficient vocabulary for communicating something of interest and the text can be read without undue effort. There are max 3 spelling errors 3. Good vocabulary, used efficiently to communicate ideas in at least two the topic areas of the whole letter and a satisfactory vocabulary in the third; sufficient variety and accuracy, only occasional lapses, circumlocutions and generalities; some degree of idiomaticity; the text reads well. There are max 3 spelling errors 4. Good vocabulary, used efficiently to communicate ideas all the three topic areas of the whole letter and a satisfactory vocabulary in the third; sufficient variety and accuracy, only occasional

Structural inaccuracies disrupt sense throughout the whole letter; 5 or more ’severe’ errors (no plural, nosubject-verb agreement, ill-formed past tense, undecipherable word order, etc.) No sentence structure variety 1. Structural inaccuracies disrupt sense in a great part of the whole letter; but at least 60 per cent of the letter is still readable; max. 4 ’severe’ errors No sentece structure variety. 2. Max 3 ’severe’ errors; structural inaccuracies do not impair sense; number of less severe errors (incorrect preposition, misuse of

articles, some inaccuracies in verb tenses) not disproportionately high. Some sentence structure variety, but not sufficient. 3. Max 2 ’severe’ errors; structural inaccuacies do not impair sense; number of less severe errors limited (not exceeding 5). Attempt at sentence structure variety partly successful. 4. No severe errors; number of less severe inaccuracies low (not exceeding 4) Sentence structure variety acceptable. 5. Practically error-free; max 3 minor inaccuracies Consistent and appropriate variety of sentence structure; short and long, simple and complex sentences as appropriate for the informal style of the letter. 4. Organisation, layout and punctuation (0-5 points) Is coherence achieved by an adequate sequencing of ideas? Is there a smooth transition from one topic to the next? Is coherence supported by the use of cohesive devices? Is the division of subject matter reflected in the paragraph structuring of the whole letter? 0. Coherence is inadequate, it is difficult

to follow the writer’s train of thought No paragraphs, no/hardly any linking words, pronoun references unclear, text falls apart, the conventional layout of the letter format is not observed; severe punctuation errors (punctuation disrupts sense) or lack of punctuation. 1.

Fully coherent; there is a smooth flow to the text with max 1 lapse; appropriate paragraph use. Cohesive devices are mostly used appropriately with hardly any minor inaccuracies; all the pronoun references are clear; very few (max 2.) minor punctuation errors. 5. Fully coherent; well-organised; there is a smooth flow to the text; correct use of paragraphs, linking word and pronouns; no inacuracies; accurate punctuation. 3 5.

a válaszlapjukon jelezték, hogy “non–Hungarian speaker”, a 71-80. kérdéseket átugorhatják. Ilyen esetekben a 61-70 kérdésekre kapott pontszámukat megduplázzuk. Ezeknek a dolgozatoknak az 1 oldalán feltűnően jelezzük, hogy “non– Hungarian speaker”. A szóbeli vizsgán az elnök feladata meggyőződni, hogy a felmentés indokolt. Csak olyan jelölteknél fogadható el felmentés, akik nem Magyar nyelvű gimnáziumban érettségiztek.

The instability of vocabulary knowladge is also reflected in the occurrence of a few spelling errors. 2 Basic vocabulary used efficiently,

but not enough variety throughout the whole letter; inaccuracies, lexical repetitions, circumlocutions or too general expressions occur; on the whole, sufficient vocabulary for communicating something of interest and the text can be read without undue effort. There are max 5 spelling errors 3 Good vocabulary, used efficintly to communicate ideas in at least two the topic areas of the whole letter and a satisfactory vocabulary in the third; sufficient variety and accuracy, only occasional lapses, circumlocutions and generalities; some degree of idiomaticity; the text reads well. There are max 4 spelling errors 4 Good vocabulary, used efficintly to communicate ideas all the three topic areas of the whole letter and a statisfactory vocabulary in the third; sufficient variety and accuracy, only occasional lapses, circumlocutions and generalities; some degree of idiomaticity; the text reads well. There are max 3 spelling errors 5 Excellent vocabulary throughout the letter; high degree of

lexical sophistication; accurate use of a wide range of vocabulary items; practically no inaccuracies; fully idiomatic. Spelling is mostly accurate with max 1–2 minor errors 3. Structures (0-5 points) Are the sentences in the letter structurally accurate and varied? 0 Structural inaccuracies disrupt sense throughout the whole letter; 5 or more severe errors (no plural, nosubject-verb agreement, ill-formed past tense, undecipherable word order, etc.) No sentence structure variety 1 Structural inaccuracies disrupt sense in a great part of the whole letter; but at least 60 per cent of the letter is still readable; max. 4 ’severe’ errors No sentece structure variety. 2 Max. 3 severe errors; structural inaccuracies do not impair sense; number of less severe errors (incorrect preposition, misuse of articles, some inaccuracies in verb tenses) not disproportionately high. Some sentence structure variety, but not sufficient 3 Max. 2 severe errors; structural inaccuacies do not impair

sense; number of less severe errors limited (not exceeding 5). Attempt at sentence structure variety partly successful. 4 No severe errors; number of less severe inaccuracies low (not exceeding 4). Sentence structure variety acceptable. 5 Practically error-free; max. 3 minor inaccuracies Consistent and appropriate variety of sentence structure; short and long, simple and complex sentences as appropriate for the informal style of the letter. 4. Organisation, layout and punctuation 0 1 2 3 4 5 (0-5 points) Is coherence achieved by an adequate sequencing of ideas? Is there a smooth transition from one topic to the next?

Fully coherent; there is a smooth flow to the text with occasional lapses (max. 2); appropriate paragraph use; cohesive devices are mostly used appropriately with occassional minor inaccuracies, but all the

pronoun references are clear; olnly minor punctuation errors (punctuation does not impair sense) Fully coherent; there is a smooth flow to the text with max. 1 lapse; appropriate paragraph use. Cohesive devices are mostly used appropriately with hardly any minor inaccuracies;all the pronoun references are clear; very few minor punctuation errors (max.2) Fully coherent; well-roganised; there is a smooth flow to the text; correct use of paragraphs, linking words and pronouns; no inaccuracies in the use of cohesive device; accurate punctuation. 5.

ÉRETTSÉGI-FELVÉTELI FELADAT (1999) MEGOLDÁSOK JAVÍTÁSI ÚTMUTATÓ A vizsgát érettségiként is író tanulók a középoskola számára másolatot készítenek a tesztválaszlapból, ill. a fogalmazást indigóval, 2 példányban írják PART A – Feleletválasztós teszt (75 pont) A tesztkérdések megoldását lásd a mellékelt mátrixon. A kivágott mátrixot a hallgató megoldására (Tesztválaszlap) ráhelyezve kitűnik: hol hiányzik az X. Az ilyen üres helyekre piros jelet (de ne X-et!) tegyünk, hogy a hibákat rögzítsük. Minden piros jel 1 pont levonást jelent a 75-ből. A mátrixot levéve a hibákat összeszámoljuk, és az elért pontszámot a lap aljára beírjuk. Minden kérdésnek csak egy megoldása van; ha vizsgázó egynél több X-et tett ugyanahhoz a kérdéshez, az mindenképpen rossz megoldásnak számít. Ilyenkor az illető kérdés sorát piros vonallal húzzuk át. PART B – Fogalmazás (25 pont) A fogalmazásban a vizsgázónak angol

levelezőtársának kell válaszlevelet írnia a megadott magyar néven. A vizsgázónak a megadott levél három fő témájára úgy kell reagálnia, hogy a második és a harmadik bekezdés témáját bővebben fejtse ki, mint az első bekezdését. A fogalmazás ideálisan 300-350 szavas. A lényeg nem a terjedelem, hanem a feladat minél jobb szintű teljesítése (azaz a sikeres kommunikáció), valamint a nyelvtani, szókincsbeli és helyesírási pontosság. A fogalmazás javítási útmutatóját lásd mellékelve. Marking insturctions This part of the test is marked according to the set of criteria below.
