E: There was also something interesting happening in Warsaw on the WHO Earth Day. Tell us something about this event.

S: The meeting I wanted to tell you all ­about took place on the 18th of April in Warsaw. It was organized by the World ­Health Organization. Students from all high schools in Prague – came to Haller ­Square in northern part of Warsaw. It is the central square of this district so whole neighbourhood knew there was something big happening. There were many on­lookers and passersby were stopping to see what was going on.

The meeting started with a short play „Save Prague – Recycle”, which students from one of the Prague high schools have prepared. It was great and the ­audience cheered and clapped. Next, ­representations of schools prepared speeches so we all felt like in Hyde Park in Speakers’ Corner. After that, some groups sang ecologically ­friendly songs, which they had specially written for that occasion. At the end, resolution on how to help recycling in Prague, between the schools, was singed.
The meeting was a great success. In my opinion, this was the first big step for students of Prague to take. They showed that they know that they can help keeping the Earth cleaner for ­longer while taking care about their ­neighbourhood.

E: It really sounds like something.

S: I have taken part in a fantastic game recently. It is called paintball. Have you heard of it?

E: A little. What are the rules?

S: There are two teams. Generally the rule is to shoot out all the members of the second team. Sounds horrible but instead of real guns you have special rifles which shoot colourful paints. The winning team goal is to shoot out all the opponents.

E: Did you like the game?

S: It was interesting. We were hiding in a forest and it was difficult to find the opponents because we all were wearing military clothes matching the trees and ground. And it is a strange feeling when you get shot and you can’t play anymore. But I liked it.

S: It was a real disaster!

E: Maybe it wasn’t that bad…

S: I want to forget it as soon as possible. All of us got sick the very first day out of the blue. Our guide forgot to tell us not to drink tap water and not to eat fruit and vegetables straight from the market. My friends, who drunk some tap water, started vomiting. One girl bought some fruit and got a horrible stomachache. In the evening half of the trip went to bed sick but we could not sleep because some of us had diarrhea and the rest kept vomiting. Some of us had temperature and headaches, and several people got ugly rash all over their bodies. When our guide called finally the doctor we were all lying in beds and dreaming of falling asleep. The doctor claimed food and water poisoning. He gave us some medicines and mineral boiled water and some charcoal to stop diarrhea. We stayed under medical control till the end of the trip.

E: You poor thing. That sounds like you really had a disastrous holiday.

S: I have gone to this new shopping mall recently.
E: Oh. How was it? Did you like it?
S: Actually, yes, I did. It is located in the outskirts but there is a special bus which takes you there. So the trip is short. And the shopping mall is very attractive.
E: I don’t like malls. What can be attractive about it?
S: There is a lot of open space, so you do not feel claustrophobic. And every shop plays the same music, so you don’t get a headache when you are there. Shops are divided into clear topic areas. So, when you want to buy some sport stuff you enter the area of 20 shops that sell only sport things!
E: That’s really interesting. I must check it out!

He has a deep low voice and keeps telling jokes and funny stories. His wife, my aunt, is a short and plump woman, who is very warm and patient with her husband. When there is an argument going to start between them he picks her up and carries on his hands and they end up laughing. My cousins are twins. Anna is a very pretty girl, with curly dark hair and green smiling eyes. She is very witty and can be malicious sometimes. And Adam is a skinny, ginger boy, with lots of freckles on his face, very funny. In telling jokes he takes after his father.

E: They must be really great.

Rozmowę rozpocznie egzaminator.

E: So, how was the film festival you went to?
S: It was really good. It took place in Kazimierz Dolny. There were 6 days of the festival, but I was only able to go there at the weekend, so I missed 3 days.
E: What kind of movies did you see?
S: I saw a couple of polish movies but most of all I wanted to see some American and Scandinavian films. I saw ‘Debt collector’, which was a very good choice. It is a really interesting story, a drama, acted brilliantly. It was directed by Feliks Falk, and I think this is the best polish movie shown this year.
E: What else did you see?
S: I liked the second part of ‘Kill Bill’ with great Uma Thurman, and the movie I found the most interesting, it was a Russian film called ‘Night shift’. It is a black comedy, with a very simple plot. But it is worth seeing, because while watching you get very involved in the action. One more movie I strongly recommend is ‘Corpse bride’. It is a cartoon, but very funny one and well done by Tim Burton. This last one you should really watch.
E: What did you like the most in the festival?
S: Of course a great choice and a wide selection of movies. Unfortunately I was there 3 days, and I regret not having seen the movies shown on the first days of festival.

E: Tell me something about that shopping mall you went to yesterday.
S: It’s nothing special really.
E: Why do you think so?
S: It’s huge as usual, so you get tired while walking around. The shops are badly organised, there are no sections. You can find a sport shop next to a tailored suits shop. It’s really frustrating.
E: Is there anything interesting at all?
S: Two or three shops with some new not very expensive brands that are nowhere else to be found in the town.
E: So I should visit them at the sales time. How can I get there?
S: There is a special free of charge bus running from the city centre and back, every half an hour.
E: If I have too much time next weekend,
I will go there I think my grandma is coming for a visit.

E: That’s not much. Tell me what was in the backpack and how does it look like.
S: It’s green ‘eastpack’ backpack, unfortunately there was my digital camera, a brown polo-neck sweater and some cheese sandwiches in it.
E: Were any documents, mobile or money there?
S: Luckily not. I have my passport and I.D. in my holder and some money in my pocket. I don’t have my mobile with me.

S: Are there any chances that I’ll get my things back?

They dress in traditional kimonos and go with their parents to the city council to sign papers and take some pictures. Than the I.D.’s are given. After that, whole families and their friends go to restaurants or home and have parties and of course take some more photos.

E: It sounds good. Are any differences between using public transport in London and Warsaw?
S: You have to remember that British people queue up when waiting for a bus. They get annoyed if you try to jump the queue. One more important thing is to show your ticket to the bus driver when entering the bus.
E: What about the underground?
S: ‘The tube’, as British call it is very fast and you’re never more than a few minutes’ walk away from a station no mater where you are.

E: I see a lot has changed in your room, I really like it now. Why did you decide to change it so much?

S: I got bored with the old one, so I decided to not only replace some furniture but also paint it and put some new pieces here and there. As you can see I have threw my old bed out and put a nice looking, green sofa instead. It is very comfortable, though first impression can be deceiving. I have also changed my desk, but it is the same old one which I’ve had for years – I just painted it red and attached couple of drawers inside, so I can keep all my favourite magazines there. Finally, I have hung a few shelves for my books so I didn’t need the horrible black book case any more, that’s why I threw it out as well as the table which used to take up half of the space in my room. I bought a lovely small coffee table which perfectly matches my big blue armchair. At the end, I have reorganized the furniture: I put my desk and armchair near the window and opposite I installed sofa. I think it looks both practical and fabulous now, don’t you think?

S: It was great, I had a lovely time there. We went at the sea site for two weeks.

E: What kind of sports activities did you take part in?
S: Our team was the swimmers so every day we went at the beach where we spent a lot of time swimming, diving, rowing and playing volleyball and underwater hokey. It was great. The other team was volleyball players and runners, so they had a pretty boring time. Sometimes we played volleyball against each other and they would win of course, but when we played underwater hokey they didn’t have any chances to win! During the camp we went couple of times to the city, to see the old town or visit a museum or gallery but it was quite boring so I was happy every time we came back to the beach.

E: I’ve heard you spent some time during holiday working. Tell me how was it?
S: It was so so. I was picking apples in one of the English farms.
E: Tell me something more about it.
S: Every day I woke up early in the morning, went to the field, and picked apples, which is a very hard work I must say. When I finished work I was too exhausted to do anything so just washed and went to sleep.
E: Would you like to do it again this summer?
S: I don’t think I will ever do it again. The work was ­strenuous but the money was quite good. I came back rich but needed time to become myself again. Holidays are for relaxing after all.

S: I stayed at the Green House camping site near Edinburgh one week. It cost me 8 pounds per night for my car and a small tent. At the site there is running water not suitable for drinking. You need to have your own stove and chairs to eat comfortably enough. You also have to remember that various people stop there. They park their cars everywhere, children run around screaming and it is busy at all times. It is not a good place for relaxation or getting enough sleep. The reason I stayed there was because of money and I’ll probably never do it again.

E: But finally you changed your mind?
S: Well, yes, as day went on the building look lost its importance. All lessons today were interesting, but History was just wonderful! The teacher was talking about the Battle of Waterloo and I felt as if I were there, among the soldiers. It was an amazing feeling!
E: That’s great!
S: Yes, it was the most wonderful lesson I’ve ever had. But in the end of the day something strange happened to me. When the classes had finished I wanted to go home and the security guard at the door… asked me for a piece of paper with my timetable on it to prove I am allowed to leave the building! It was funny. Luckily, I saw my tutor at the entrance so I asked her to certify I am not going to play truant.

E: And what did you do?
S: Eventually, I decided to start working in the restaurant. It wasn’t so simple, as it occurred after some time. When the first customer asked me for something I couldn’t understand a word – I was so stressed and his English wasn’t even a bit similar to the one I knew from school! It was shocking!
E: But you managed to get another, better job?
S: Well, yes, I worked after some time as a stewardess there. But to sum up, I must tell you I wouldn’t decide to leave once again. I missed my family very much and I didn’t feel at home there. I’d rather look for a job in my town.
