ROZUMIENIE TEKSTÓW PISANYCH
Zadanie 4. (4 pkt)
Przeczytaj poniższy tekst. Dobierz właściwy nagłówek (A–F) do każdego fragmentu tekstu. Wpisz odpowiednią literę
w miejsca 4.1.–4.4. Uwaga: dwa nagłówki zostały podane dodatkowo i nie pasują do żadnego fragmentu tekstu.
A.A difference of opinion
B. The long and short term effects
C. The worst problem
D.The penalties involved
E. How people react
F. Coping with stress
4.1. _
Noise from neighbours might come in many different forms, from loud arguments, or noisy pets, to the heavy sounds of
music from a stereo system or all-night parties. Those who have experienced trouble with noisy neighbours say that these are
particularly difficult to cope with. Noise at night has a heavier impact, as it can trouble you at a time when you need to rest.
4.2. _
Too much noise is no joke. It distracts people from enjoying doing simple things, such as watching TV, reading, or chatting to
members of the family. It gets even worse if you have to study or work at home. Although it will not happen overnight, it can
cause you to become irritable and unable to cope with the stresses of everyday life. Worse still, having to listen to high levels of
noise for a long period of time might result in serious health problems, including insomnia.
4.3. _
One obvious way of dealing with the problem would be to try to persuade the troublesome neighbour to change their ways.
However, some surveys have shown that nowadays, the majority of those troubled by noise from neighbours choose to resolve
the matter on formal grounds rather than by face-to-face contact. To avoid threats, offensive language, or even direct violence
from the noise-makers, people now most often make a formal complaint, either to the police or the housing administration.
4.4. _
When asked for advice on this matter, the police stress the issue of safety and recommend avoiding direct action. They also
warn against recording the noise, as this could be seen as a violation of the neighbours’ privacy, and might well end up in
a court of law. This isn’t quite the same as suggestions from housing associations, which insist that residents first try to deal with
the problem on their own and not take any legal action unless absolutely necessary.

Przeczytaj trzy teksty dotyczące sportu. Z podanych odpowiedzi wybierz właściwą, zgodną z treścią tekstu. Zakreśl literę
A, B albo C.
Tekst 1.
Mark and I were talking outside school when we saw a boy coming towards us. ‘That’s
Tony!’ Mark told me, ‘the captain of the school football team. We went to primary
school together but …’ I knew what he meant. Tony was one of the most popular boys
at school, while Mark was far from that. As for me, I’d only been at this school for a few
weeks and was still an outsider for many students. Tony came over to us.
‘Hi, I’m Tony’, he said. ‘You’re Adam, right?’
‘Look, sorry about making fun of you in the canteen last week’, Tony went on.
‘No problem’, I said.
‘Look, Adam, I was thinking … Maybe you’d like to join our football team?’
I was surprised. ‘Why? I thought you had enough players.’
5.1. Adam and Tony
A.used to be friends at
primary school.
B. don’t know each other well.
C. are both popular at school.
Tekst 2.
Many of us don’t pay enough attention to our health and that is why we should make
the best use we can of local sporting facilities. There are opportunities to join teams to
play different sports or just have a gentle swim when we feel like it. Exercise is the key
to fitness and we shouldn’t avoid it just because we are short of time. It’s popular to
have an exercise bike or rowing machine at home these days but statistics show that it’s
easier to keep to a fitness routine if we go out and join other people. So, get up and join
a centre. You won’t regret it.
5.2. The text is about
A.a new sports centre.
B. the advantages of keeping
fit at home.
C. a good way to keep fit.

Swimming Competition which will be held at the Southampton Baths on 2nd and 3rd
February. We have now sold out but there may be last minute tickets on the day. We
would like to point out that parking will be limited so early arrival is recommended
and no flash photography will be permitted during the competitions, although later
you will be able to buy photographs taken by the professional photographer we have
employed for the event. We would be grateful if people could remain seated as far as
possible during the races and to leave the pool in an orderly fashion at the end of the

Children who naturally learn two or more languages are becoming a more and more common phenomenon in today’s world.
The number of these bilingual or multilingual children is growing together with the number of transnational marriages and,
most importantly, due to the fact that immigration is occurring on a much larger scale than ever before. In the US alone, over
30 million children are now reported to speak a language other than English at home. Depending on their family or ethnic
environment, different methods are used to teach such children.
A method commonly used by a transnational family is often called the ‘one person – one language’ method. The second
language is usually spoken by one of the parents, but it may also come from a nanny or grandparent. This is believed to be
quite effective. However, it also requires extra motivation for the child, such as trips abroad, visits from foreign family members,
or, later on, playgroups or even classes. Otherwise, the child might easily reach the conclusion that a language spoken by only
one person is not worth his or her effort.
Another widespread method of raising bilingual children is called ‘minority language at home’, where the minority language is
spoken by everyone at home, while everyone else speaks the native language of the country. This can also be very successful
but parents might worry if their child doesn’t speak the wider community language at the same level as other kids of the same
age. But studies show that sooner or later, the child will be equally fluent unless he or she becomes isolated from people who
speak the language.
When deciding to bring up their child bilingually, parents need to realise that this process may often lead to negative effects,
such as speech delay. According to research, bilingual children may start speaking from 3 to 6 months later than their peers.
This, of course, can concern parents and they may even give up raising their child bilingually. But research also shows that
bilingual children easily catch up with other children later on, and become fluent speakers of the wider community language.
Although the whole process requires a lot of effort, mainly on the side of the parents, the overall result is well-worth it. Apart
from the obvious benefit of speaking more than one language fluently, studies also show that many multilingual people are
able to keep their mental ability till an old age.
6.1. According to the text, children who speak two or
more languages
A.are only found in the United States.
B. are less common now than in the past.
C. are often raised in immigrant families.
D.usually speak English at home.
6.2. The ‘one person – one language’ method

B. is quite rare nowadays.
C. doesn’t usually work well.
D.works well with additional activities.

A.means a child can’t learn a second language.
B. is natural and it doesn’t worry parents.
C. is rather rare among bilingual children.
D.doesn’t usually last for a long time.
6.5. In the writer’s opinion, bringing up children to be
bilingual
A.requires too much work.
B. can easily fail for various reasons.
C. is very useful despite some problems.
D.usually leads to some negative effects
6.3. The ‘minority language at home’ method
A.may only fail in some special conditions.
B. isn’t very popular or successful.
C. keeps the child from learning the community language.
D.is less worrying for the parents than the previous
method.

How old were you when you started school? Did you want to go to school or did you desperately hold onto your mother, too
scared to go into the playground? In the UK children start after their fourth birthday, and before their fifth. They don’t just spend
a morning at school, they have to attend for the full day. 7.1. _ But is it in their best interests? Not everyone thinks so.

strongly that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. So, what should happen? Add your comment below. We want to know
