Az angolérettségi utolsó részében a vizsgázóknak először egy félhivatalos levelet kellett írniuk arról, hogy egy Prágában töltött hosszú hétvégéjük során a szállásukon felejtették az e-book olvasójukat. Ezt követte egy kicsit hosszabb, 100-120 szavas baráti levél, amiben egy lengyel barátjuk levelére reagálva tanácsot kellett adniuk annak kissé túlságosan ítélkező édesanyjáról, illetve kifejteni a véleményüket a hajfestésről.

Mutatjuk a feladatokat és azt, hogy hogyan kellett megoldani őket az Eduline javító tanára szerint:

Dear Ms Novak,

I am sorry to bother you, but I need your help. Yesterday, after arriving home, I noticed that my e-book reader was missing and I am sure I left it in the room where we stayed with my friend.

I remember putting it into one of the drawers of the bedside cabinet, so I might have left it there. I also like reading while having a bath, so it’s possible that I left it in the bathroom.

Could you please check the room and post the reader to my address? I would certainly pay for any costs.

Thank you and I look forward to your answer.

Yours sincerely,

Hi Pavel,

Thank you for your letter, I’ll try to give you some advice.

Teenagers have always been curious, so it’s natural that we would like to try new things. There’s nothing wrong with that. Adults, of course, have different opinions about what someone should look like, but it doesn’t mean they’re right. I think your mother should also accept people the way they are and not criticise them.

Dorota wanted to change something about her appearance because she probably didn’t feel confident enough. Now she is more relaxed and feels more comfortable, so it was the right thing to do.

I think you should support your girlfriend in her decision. Don’t worry, if your mum likes her as a person, her hairstyle won’t matter.

Best wishes,
