A. Read the passage carefully, then circle the best answer: (1,0 m)
Coal, oil and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of its power. However, not only are
supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. Therefore, it’s important to improve,
explore and develop such alternatives energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind power. Each of these
alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the
atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problem of what to
do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for
communities located far from moving water. Wind power is a pollution – free source of renewable energy but
it can’t be used in many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind. Solar power is renewable, it does
not cause pollution and it does not add the earth’s heat load. However, it is difficult to collect and store. Solar
power also requires expensive equipment.

My husband and I have a problem about our holiday last year. I wanted to have a “lazy seaside
holiday” because I was tired and need to relax. I loved lying in the sun, drinking iced beer and reading a good
book. But Robert liked busy, culture holidays. He liked visiting museums and art galleries. He hated
sunbathing because he always went red, not brown. The travel agent tried to help us and suggested Greece. I
said I’d love to sail to a quiet island, but of course Robert said he’d like to stay on Athens. It was easy
deciding what to do – we flew to Athens together, Robert stayed there and I traveled to the island of Kos.

IV. Read the passage, then decide if the statements that follow it are True or False. (1.0 pt)
It might sound strange to you but these are some important rules. If you want to pass examinations,
then study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, try to learn English without
studying too much grammar because that will only slow you down and confuse you. You will think
about the rules when creating sentences instead of speaking naturally like a native speaker. Some
native speakers do not know so many grammar rules as non-native students do.
Everyone can speak at least one language whether they are intelligent, or lack some brain power.
This could be achieved by being surrounded by that language at all times. You may notice that there
are also some people who study abroad and learn very little. That is because they go to an English
speaking school, but find friends from their own country and don’t practice English. Some others can
speak English well because they live in an English speaking environment.

Therefore, why don’t you surround yourself with English? Make rules with some friends that you
will only speak English when meeting up for a coffee, for example. You can also carry around an iPod
and listen to English as much as possible.
19. You don’t need to study too much grammar to be fluent in English.
20. You need to be quite intelligent to study a language well.
21. Living in an English speaking environment, people will learn the language better.
22. An iPod may be useful for you to improve your listening skill.

Coal, oil and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of its power. However, not only are
supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. Therefore, it’s important to improve,
explore and develop such alternatives energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind power. Each of these
alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the
atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problem of what to
do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for
communities located far from moving water. Wind power is a pollution – free source of renewable energy but
it can’t be used in many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind. Solar power is renewable, it does
not cause pollution and it does not add the earth’s heat load. However, it is difficult to collect and store. Solar
power also requires expensive equipment.

The first one is done for you: (0,6m)
My husband and I have a problem about our holiday last year. I wanted to have a “lazy seaside
holiday” because I was tired and need to relax. I loved lying in the sun, drinking iced beer and reading a good
book. But Robert liked busy, culture holidays. He liked visiting museums and art galleries. He hated
sunbathing because he always went red, not brown. The travel agent tried to help us and suggested Greece. I
said I’d love to sail to a quiet island, but of course Robert said he’d like to stay on Athens. It was easy
deciding what to do – we flew to Athens together, Robert stayed there and I traveled to the island of Kos.
