Zadanie 1OneAt first, it was very hard for me to give up all that food I’d used to eat for such a long time. Especially the meat. You know, fast food in all shapes and sizes. But day after day I liked vegetables more and more. The way they tasted and smelled, and looked on my plate finally made me completely forget about my past habits. TwoI remember my friends were very surprised when they heard about my new diet. I always looked skinny and they somehow couldn’t picture me as a muscular, heavy guy. I mean, what’s wrong in getting big? And there was one more thing – I decided to do it in a natural way, without any chemicals that could harm my health. That’s why it took quite a long time to reach my goal. But I wasn’t in a hurry. ThreeWell, the choice was simple – either I’ld live or I’d die. My old food habits slowly made me weaker and my health was getting so bad that one day I realised I couldn’t run ten meters without fighting for breath. And I used to be a long-distance runner in my youth. Can you believe that? I had to do something about it, for my family, but also for myself. Maybe I would never run fifteen miles again but at least I’d have enough strength to keep up with my grandchildren! FourI know it may sound strange but the main reason is that I can have more topics to discuss with my girlfriend. She is crazy about diets and healthy ways of cooking and it is so easy now to find information about that on the Internet. Of course, you can’t just talk about it, you have to put it in practice – but when you finally master some recipes, you not only spend more time with your loved one, but you can also impress her, which is so important. FiveIt is so easy these days to find a diet that not only saves your health but also your time and money. You don’t have to buy any expensive stuff, learn new cooking techniques – instead you look them up online, choose the offer and price and that’s it. No washing up, no mess in the kitchen – and it’s healthy, fresh and in so many flavours and colours. You can even change it so easily if you don’t like it! Zadanie 2Text oneWhy do we build botanic gardens? Actually there are at least two reasons: first, the most obvious one is that you can not only find some peace and quiet there but also learn something about rare and even exotic plants from all over the world. And the second reason, not so obvious, is that such plants can be studied there to find if they have any economic value and if they can be used somehow in a different environment. Various organisations can lead research there to find new drugs or substances that can be uses in medicine, agriculture, or even cooking! As you can see, botanic gardens play a very important role in our our life, especially now, when we are destroying our environment so fast. I may add that one of the famous botanic garden is the Botanic Garden, founded in Wrocław in 1811. Text twoVenice is famous for its both its architecture and paintings. Although the architecture was influenced by the Byzantines, the majority of the bulidings in the 14th century was built in the Gothic style. The first Renaissance buildings come from the second half of the 15th century. As for the paintings, they were also created in the 15th century. The central and the best known point of Venice is St. Mark's square, visited every year by hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists. The square is surrounded by many other beautiful and famous buildings, such as the basilica of St Mark and the Doge’s Palace. Text threeWhile it is very wise to have a fire extinguisher, even a small one, kept in a reachable place somewhere near the kitchen, you should make sure it is the right model, specially designed to deal with typical fires that can happen in the kitchen. You can find this information on the label of the device. In short, the right fire extinguisher should put out three basic types of a fire – coming from wood and paper, fat and petrol, and electric shortcuts. Read the instructions carefully, show the device to every member of the family and teach them how to operate it properly. And one last thing: the model you chose shouldn’t be too heavy even for the smallest family members – you never know which one of them could save your kitchen when the time comes! Zadanie 3Hello everybody, It’s 9 a.m., so we’d better begin our journey. We’re currently at the Mesopotamian Floor, which should provide a lot of historical context to your main task. The most important and worth seeing items here are monuments and texts. You can stay here for thirty minutes at the longest because we’re on quite a busy schedule, I’m afraid. Next, we’ll proceed to the Egyptian Floor, where we’re going to spend three hours, since you are supposed to gather there all the necessary information for your school project. Let me remind you that you are supposed to write an essay about either the most famous Egyptian kings or pharaohs, as they were called, or about Egyptian gods. You will find plenty of sources there. Feel free to use any interactive screen you see; there are plenty of them throughout the whole floor. After that time, you can visit any other floor you want. Just remember that your teacher is going to meet with you at the entrance to the museum at 3 p.m., so don’t be late. I strongly recommend visiting the Roman Floor, though. There’s a new collection of everyday objects there, freshly discovered in Pompeii. In case you have any questions, you can ask me or any other staff member. |
