Task 1
Topic A Have you ever been abroad? What were your experiences?
Yes, I have. I went to the U.K two years ago. I really loved it. I went to London and I saw all
the major sights. Last summer I went to London with my family. We stayed there for two
weeks. When we went shopping, I could use my English, and I understood a lot. / It was a
great experience for me to visit a foreign country.
I can tell you a lot about the sights of London: The Queen has her London home at
Buckingham Palace. At half past seven most mornings the soldiers at Buckingham Palace
“change the guard”. / The Tower of London is now a museum, and one of London’s most
famous buildings. You can see the Crown Jewels and visit the Bloody Tower and the White
Tower./ The Tower Bridge is near the Tower of London. The middle of the bridge can be
opened to allow ships to pass through. / St Paul’s Cathedral was built by Sir Christopher
Wren after the Fire of London in 1666. The cathedral was built between 1675 and 1711. /
Westminster Abbey is more than nine hundred years old. After William the Conqueror, every
King or Queen of England was crowned king or queen here. / The Houses of Parliament are
called houses of parliament because parliament consists of two chambers known as the House
of Commons and the House of Lords. / The clock high up on parliament building is called Big
Ben. / The prime minister lives at Downing Street 10. / The British Museum in Great Russell
Street is the biggest museum of London. Tickets are free. / Madame Tussaud’s is famous for
its people made from wax. You can see famous people from the past and famous people of
today. In the “Chamber of Horrors” you can see some really bad people.
I loved the place very much. I was less satisfied with the food. I think everything is very
expensive, at least for someone from Hungary.
Topic B How do you get information about the events around the world?
I like reading the newspapers. I read both the serious papers and the tabloids which publish
lots of gossips about the life of celebs. Sometimes I go online and read the on-line news. I
have never tried to read the news in English, but I think it is a good thing to read the news in
English. I can listen to the radio with my mobile phone, too.
Topic C Where would you like to continue your studies? Why? What are your plans for
the future?
After finishing this wonderful school, I would like to take a job as a shop-assistant. / I don’t
think university or college is good for me. I would like to learn a good trade. Maybe I will be
a car mechanic/an electrician/ a beautician/ a hair-dresser. /After finishing this school, I would
like to continue my studies at a university/ at a college. I would like to be an IT specialist. / I
would like to be a teacher. I would like to be a kindergarten teacher. / If I can’t go to

Task 2 You are in England to learn English for three months. You are talking to your
host family who are asking you about your family relatives and friends.
Answer the questions. The examiner is the English host.
English host: What is your family like?
You: I have a big family. I have two younger brothers and an elder sister. My
Mom is a nurse. My father is a doctor at a big hospital.
English host: Why did you come to England?
You I came to England to learn English at a language school. I go to a
language school every day. I have four lessons a day.
English host: Do the members of your family speak languages?
You: My father speaks English. His English is poor. / One of my cousins
speaks English very well, because he went to a bilingual school. His
English is fluent.
English host: Is it easy for you to make friends?
You: Yes, it is. I have lots of friends back in Hungary. At the language
school I also made friends with an Italian boy. I get on well with
people.
English host: I heard you have a pet at home. You said you had a cat. Who takes care
of the cat?
You: My Granny is always at home, and she loves the cat very much. So, I
am not worried about Cirmi. She will be fine, while I am here in
England.
Task 3 Describe and contrast two schools and the different ways of education:
The first school is a primary school. I can see the pupils/kids sitting behind their desks.
They are all about eight years old. They are aged 6 to 8 years. The second school is a
secondary-school. It is a grammar school. It is not a vocational secondary school.
The main differences between the two schools: The first school is for
children/kids/pupils aged 6 to 14. The second school is for students/pupils aged 14 to
18.
Extras and special classes (lessons) these schools can offer: I think the first school can
offer singing classes and extra classes in English. The secondary school has a chemistry
lab, a physics lab and a very good library.
Sports, catering and recreational facilities: The first school has a school canteen. The
second school also has a school canteen. But the second school has more facilities.
Maybe it also has some tennis courts and a basketball court, too.
Quality and quantity of technical equipment: The second school has more computers
and an IT classroom, too. Maybe the second school has interactive whiteboards, too.

Task 1
Topic A What school subjects do you like best at school?
My favourite subjects are languages and arts subjects, including History, Hungarian
Literature, Hungarian Grammar, Arts, Music etc. My favourite subjects are science subjects,
such as Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, Biology etc.
Topic B Do you think mobile phones are a good thing? Why? / Why not?
Mobile phones are a good thing. I can call up my girl-friend/boy-friend. I can use my mobile
for various things. I can take photographs. I can make an audio footage. I can make a video
footage. I can send messages. With the new mobile phones you can go online and surf the net.
All mobile phones have a built-in watch and a built-in calculator.
Topic C What kind of job would you like? What is important for you in a job?
I would like to have a full-time job/ a part-time job. I would like to work flexitime. I would
like to make a lot of money. But money is not everything. Everybody says they want to make
a lot of money. But money is not everything. I would like to do work that is not boring.
What is important for you in a job? I would not accept a job offer if this means I have to do
hard physical work. On the whole, I would rather do intellectual work. But you have to see
that the difference between blue-collar jobs and white-collar jobs is not as big as it used to be,
let’s say, 50 years ago. Do you agree with me? There are still differences. For example blue-
collar workers in the U.K. are paid by the week and they get wages and white-collar workers
get a salary and they are paid by the month. But on the whole the difference between blue-
collar and white jobs tends to become smaller. If I had to do physical work, I would like to be
a gardener. I like nature and flowers and fresh air.
Task 2 You wanted to earn extra money so you have taken a summer job in an office
at an international estate agent’s. You are working as an assistant for a month.
Your boss has just called for you. He/she wants you to do overtime today to
translate a letter for him/her. The examiner is the boss.
Boss: Could you translate this letter from English into Hungarian?
You: Mr. Brown, I don’t have to translate letters. My job is to answer the
phone and to write down messages left by the clients.
Boss: You could do it after 5 o’clock. Or do you want to take it home?
You I don’t want to work overtime today. I will take this letter home, and I
will translate it for you. You will get back the translation the day after
tomorrow.
Boss: That’s good.
You: Would it be OK with you if I charged 5,000 Ft for the translation.
Boss: That’s OK. But I would like to get a really good translation.
Angol nyelv / Felkészítő anyag a középszintű szóbeli érettségire / Összeállította: B.D. (2011)

You: Don’t worry. The translation is going to be OK.
Boss: So, we have agreed. Thanks.
Task 3 This picture shows a very crowded beach in Spain. Describe it and give your
opinion about it including the following points: Are crowded beaches fun or a
source of annoyance?/ Tourism endangers the environment./ What can we do
to protect the environment.
I can see a crowded beach in the picture. In the background I can see some high hotel
buildings. It is a very hot day. Tourists are bathing in the sea. I don’t like crowded
beaches. You can’t have a rest. This place is too noisy for my taste. You should not lie
in the sun. I prefer quiet beaches to crowded ones.
Crowded beach: is it fun or annoyance? I think this is quite funny. You can see a lot of
pretty girls walking on the beach. You can get to know a lot of people. / I think it is bad
to be at such a crowded place. There is too much noise here. I just can’t stand the noise.
I like to go on holiday to quiet places. At the beach you have to be very careful with the
sun.
Does tourism/ the tourist industry endanger the environment? Yes, it does. Most tourists
go to Spain by plane. Flying is very bad for the environment. These tourists throw the
rubbish away, and they make the water dirty. With so many people going into the water
every day, the quality of the water gets worse day by day. If you wear too much suntan
lotion this gets into the water and kills the fish.
What can we do to protect the environment, while having fun as tourists. We should not
throw the rubbish/garbage away. The best way to protect the environment is to go on
holiday in Hungary.

Task 1
Topic A Where are you planning to go in summer?
Are you going to stay in Hungary? Yes, I am. I am going to Lake Balaton in July. Are you
going to go abroad? Yes, I am. I am going abroad in June. Where are you going to go? I am
going to the UK in August. Are you going to go by plane? No, I’m not. I will take the train.
Topic B Do you live in a house or in a flat? Tell me about it. Which is better – a house
or a flat? Who do you live with?
I live in a house. I enjoy living in a house. We have a big and beautiful garden around the
house with lots of trees in it. We have two watchdogs in the garden. Our house is a big one. I
have my own room. We have a big family house with five rooms upstairs and four rooms
downstairs. Downstairs we have a big living room. Next to this room, there is a dining room
which is separated from the kitchen.
I prefer living in a flat because I hate gardening. Our flat is not too big, but it is big enough for
a family of four. We have seven rooms: two bedrooms, a living-room, a study, a hall a
bathroom and a kitchen. Our kitchen is not very big. There is a dining table by the window.
Around the table there are chairs. Opposite the window is the sink. We have a big living
room. It is big and nice. There are nice curtains on the windows and a big carpet on the floor.
Our living room faces the front garden. People can live in blocks of flats, terraced houses,
semi-detached houses and detached houses.
Topic C How big is your family? Describe your family.
I come from a small family. I am an only child. I haven’t got any brothers or sisters. My Mum
is a nurse, my Dad is a driver. We get on very well with each other.
I come from a big family. I have got a younger brother. He is in the first year of primary
school. I have got an elder sister. She is five years older than me. My father is 45 years old.
He is a clerk/ a driver/ a teacher. My father is a tall and very strong man. He has brown eyes.
My mother is a short woman. Actually her eyes are green. She has a round face with a small
nose.
I get on well with my parents. My parents trust me, and they let me do what I want. They treat
me like an adult and I can always turn to them for help.
I have four cousins. My uncle’s name is George, and he is my father’s brother. Uncle
George’s sons and daughters are my cousins. My aunt’s name is Clara. She is my mother’s
younger sister. She never married. So she lives alone.
My parents did not get on very well. They were fighting each other all the time. So my Dad
decided to divorce my Mum. Are your grandparents still alive? My grandparents are still
alive. My grandparents died a long time ago. I have only one grandparent left, my mother’s
Angol nyelv / Felkészítő anyag a középszintű szóbeli érettségire / Összeállította: B.D. (2011)
Page 6 of 40
mother. I don’t visit my Granny enough. The other grandparents died when I was small kid. I
can remember them though. I miss my grandparents.
Task 2 Your ten-year old brother would like to go to an international sports camp, and
take up a new sport to do regularly. He has never done any sports before. Look
at the photos and choose the best option for him. The camp leader’s role is
taken by your English teacher.
Camp leader: As you can see, we offer three activities at the sports camp.
You: My brother is only ten years old. So, I think the best option for him is
the kayak. I think he will like kayaking. Extreme sports are dangerous
for him. My brother should not be in danger.
Camp leader: Can your little brother swim?
You Yes, he can. He learnt swimming when he was six. He has never done
any sports before, but he can swim.
Camp leader: Is your brother in a good physical condition? I mean, is he strong
enough for this sport?
You: Yes, he is. He always went to the Physical Education lessons at school.
Camp leader: Is there a kayak sports club which he could join later?
You: Yes, there is. I think my brother, by the way, his name is Peter, will
join a kayak club later.
Camp leader: Well, your younger brother can come to our camp.
Task 3 Study the picture and discuss one of the following points: Children can learn
new things very quickly. / Parents do not have enough time to play with kids. /
We can’t live without computers and home appliances.
In the picture I can see a young girl. She is about five years old. How do you know you can
see a girl. Well, she seems to be a girl. And besides, have a look at the dolls. The girl is
playing a computer game. She has /wears headphones/headsets on her ears.
Children learn new things very quickly: It is true that children learn to use the computer
quickly. Parents should pay attention to their kids. They should not let their kids sit in
front of the computer for a long time. Kids have to be cared for. So don’t let your kid
play with the computer for a long time. You should read tales to your kids before they
go to bed.
Parents do not have enough time to play with their kids/children: I agree with this
opinion. But this should be changed. Parents have to pay attention to their kids. They
have to play with them, because this is good for their kids.
We can’t live without computers and other home appliances: I would like to speak
about computers. Personal computers and the internet have resulted in a
communications revolution. The internet is without doubt one of the most important
inventions of modern history. In today’s world you simply have to be able to use the
computers.
The World Wide Web was created in 1990. Since then, it has completely changed the
world. The internet is a network of millions of computers around the world connected
by phone lines, satellite and cable. All the computers can exchange information with
Angol nyelv / Felkészítő anyag a középszintű szóbeli érettségire / Összeállította: B.D. (2011)
Page 7 of 40
each other. Some people say that young people use computers only for games and don’t
really learn anything. They say that young people read much less than they used to. And
all this happens because of computers. / The arrival of computers has brought a number
of new words into the English language such as word processor, hardware, laptop
computer, email, loading, monitor, etc.

Task 1
Topic A What would you like to do after leaving secondary school?
I would like to continue my studies. If I am not admitted to university/college, I would like to
retake my exams. Well, my Mum says I have a big mouth and I could be a good lawyer. She
is right. I would like to be a lawyer helping people. When I was younger I thought I wanted to
become an engineer. Well, I know now that I am not good at Maths. I don’t want to do an
advanced-level Maths exam. / My friend does not even want to go to university. He likes
working with wood and he would like to become a carpenter. He would like to learn a trade,
which is a good idea. / Nowadays there are not enough bricklayers, plumbers, and car
mechanics. If you learn a trade, you can make a lot of money. /A friend of mine is an
electrician. He went to Australia. He can make good money now. I would like to make a lot of
money, too. But money is not everything. I do not like people who want to stay on their jobs.
They want to keep their jobs, even if this makes them sick. Crazy people! Really!
Topic B Tell me about your best friend.
I used to have good friends, but most recently I have lost two of my friends. I started to
quarrel with my friends and soon my friendship was over. Right now, my best friend is Mary/
George. /A friend should always listen to my problems. If I have a friend, she/he should
always help me when I have a problem. As the proverb says, ‘A friend in need is a friend
indeed.” / My friends are very intelligent. We can go out together. We can go to the pub
together. / My best friend is Shaggy. He is a tall and very intelligent guy. He never dresses up.
He is like a hippie. Really, he never dresses up even if he goes to the opera. He is an easy-
going guy. He has nothing to worry about, and he gets on very well with everyone. He is just
a happy-go-luck boy. His dog is called Scooby Doo. / My other friend is Wilma. She wears
specs and has a good figure. She is always very strict. She is very strict by nature. She is very
serious about her career and believes in dreams. She is also very intelligent.
Topic C When were you last ill?
I was ill about a month ago. I had a bad flu/bad cold. I didn’t feel well. I had a headache and
a sore throat. My nose was running and I was coughing and sneezing. I had a temperature of
37.5 [thirty-seven point five degrees]. I decided to see a doctor. He looked at my tongue and
my throat. He felt my pulse and listened to my lungs. He diagnosed my illness. He told me I
had a nasty flu. He told me to stay in bed, and drink a lot. He advised me to sleep a lot. I got
some prescription pills1 and went to bed as soon as I got home. Do you go to the doctor right
away when you feel ill? It depends. If I am not well, I go to a doctor. Do you catch illnesses
easily? No, I don’t. But there is one problem. I am always having problems with my teeth.
Have you ever been to a hospital? Thanks God, I have never been to a hospital. / Yes, I have.
What was the matter with you? Last year I had to go to the hospital because I had an accident.
I fell off from my bike. I was lucky. It was a nasty fall. I only broke my left arm. I had to go
to hospital.

Task 2 You and your parents are just looking at some travel brochures to decide where
to go for your summer holiday. Look at the photos and discuss your
expectations with the examiner who plays the role of a travel agent. The
examiner takes the role of the travel agent.
Travel agent: Good morning. Can I help you?
You: I would like to go to Greece or to Spain for a week. I would like to
have half-board. And I would like to get to know the country and its
culture.
Travel agent: Well, I could offer you these two holiday options.
You Let me see. The holiday programme in Greece costs 1,000 Euros, and
the Spanish holiday would cost me 2,000 Euros.
Why is there such a big difference in price?
Travel agent: You see in Spain you would stay at a four-star hotel and in Greece you
would stay in bungalows.
You: I like the Greek offer better because the price is more reasonable.
Travel agent: Maybe you are right. But you have to know that a four-star hotel offers
much more than a bungalow.
You: I know that. But there is another reason why I would like to go to
Greece. I find the cultural programmes much more interesting.
Travel agent: Well, that is a matter of taste. Could you please fill out this form and
sign. You have to confirm your booking, you know.
Task 3 These four pictures show different types of work. Compare and contrast them.
Include the following points: The main differences between the jobs. / Which
is the most attractive job for you? Why? / Advantages and disadvantages of
working flexitime. / Why is it worth choosing these jobs? Think of /salaries/
benefits/ paid holidays/.
In the first picture I can see a receptionist. She doesn’t look happy. Anyway, let us move on.
In the second picture I can see two cleaners cleaning the windows of an office building. Right
now, they are doing a very dangerous job. In picture number three I can see a hairdresser. In
the last picture I can see a man working at an office. Maybe he is an IT specialist.
The main differences between the jobs: I think the woman in the first picture and the man in
the last picture have a university or college diploma. (They are white-collar employees.) A
receptionist has to study tourism and catering at a college. An IT specialist has to go to a
technical university to study computer science. A cleaner’s job is physical work. (It is a blue-
collar job.) Maybe the two men are skilled workers but they haven’t managed to find a better
job. If you want to be a hairdresser you have to do/get vocational training.
Which is the most attractive job for you? Why? The most attractive work for me is the IT
specialist. The IT employee makes a lot of money. His work is interesting. If he is really well-
trained, he can always find a better job. /I like the work of the hairdresser the best. She gets
tipped, you know. If you are cleaner you don’t get tipped.
Advantages and disadvantages of working flexitime. The advantage/ the positive side is that
you can manage your time alone. The disadvantage/the negative side of flexitime is that you
have to do too much work.
Why is it worth choosing these jobs? Think of /salaries/ benefits/ paid holidays: If you are a
receptionist, you get tips from the hotel guests. If you are cleaner, I do not think there are any
Angol nyelv / Felkészítő anyag a középszintű szóbeli érettségire / Összeállította: B.D. (2011)
Page 10 of 40
benefits. If you are a hairdresser, you get tips. /If you are an IT specialist, you have a good
salary and paid holidays, too.

Task 1
Topic A How do you usually spend your weekends?
At the weekends I often go out with my boyfriend/girlfriend. We go to the cinema or
sometimes to the disco. Over the last few months I haven’t been able to go out. I couldn’t go
out as often as I used to because I had to learn a lot. But maybe in summer I will have a lot
more free time. I like weekends because on Saturday and Sunday mornings I don’t need to get
up early. /At the weekends I go clubbing. / At the weekends I play football. /I am a
professional footballer.
Topic B What subjects do you like at school?
My favourite subjects are languages and arts subjects, including History, Hungarian
Literature, Hungarian Grammar, Arts, Music, etc. My favourite subjects are science subjects,
such as Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, Biology etc.
Topic C Where would you like to travel in your life?
I would like to travel around Hungary. Everybody wants to go abroad. But I think there is a
lot to see in Hungary, too. / I would like to go to Africa to see the wildlife there. But I don’t
think I can afford it. / I have never been to England. I would like to go to London. I would
like to learn English at a London language school. I would like to combine travel with
learning English.
Task 2 As one of the correspondents of an international school magazine you would
like to draw the students’ attention to endangered animals. Discuss the
following points with the examiner who plays the role of the editor: Which
animal is the most endangered? / What do people do to these animals and their
habitats? The editor’s role is taken by your teacher. You are the journalist.
Magazine editor: Good morning. Which animal is in the biggest danger?
You: I think it is the giant panda bear.
Magazine editor: Can you tell me the reason why?
You Sure. The giant panda bear lives in China. There only 1,000 panda
bears are left in China.
Magazine editor: What do people do to these bears in their habitat?
You: These pandas live in forests. The forests are destroyed. I am so sorry
for these bears. They have less and less to eat.
Magazine editor: Do you think wildlife reserves can save these animals from dying out?
You: These animals already live in wildlife reserves. The problem is that too
many tourists go there. It is the tourists who destroy the environment of
these lovely bears.
Editor: Don’t you want to organise a campaign for panda bears?
You: No, I don’t. But please publish my article. It will be interesting.

Task 3 Compare the two pictures with the help of the following prompts: The main
differences between the two pictures/ The importance of playing with one’s
children./Attention cannot be replaced with toys./ Why is it dangerous to leave
the baby alone?
In the first picture I can see a baby. He is sitting on a bed and playing. Nobody is keeping an
eye on him. This baby has been left alone. He seems to be sad. In the second picture I can see
a swimming pool. The five-year old boy is just jumping into the water. His father is helping
him. He is wearing bathing trunk. The main differences between the two pictures: In the first
picture the baby is alone. In the second picture I can see a man with his son. The importance
of playing with one’s children: It is important to play with children. The baby should not be
left alone, because an accident might happen. Kids/children must be cared for. If a child is
neglected, he/she can’t be really happy and healthy. Attention cannot be replaced with toys: I
agree with this opinion. Parents should pay attention to their children. Why is it dangerous to
leave the baby alone? It is dangerous because the baby can swallow something. If you leave
your baby alone, you should put him/her into a playpen.

the problems with the old block of flats and tell the examiner, who is playing
the role of your English friend, about the house you have decided to move to.

to live in an old flat. There were few shops in our area. These shops were very expensive. It

a block of flats. Public transport was quite good, and we always had kind, friendly and helpful
neighbours. Our new house is peaceful and clean, but it’s far from the central parts of our

bad in our area. We have to use the car. Around our new house there is a nice garden with lots
of fruit trees. The rooms in our house are big, sunny and friendly. We have few neighbours
