ANGOL TESZTEK ES FOGALMAZÁSOK
A „B” TÍPUSÚ KÖZÉP ÉS FELSŐFOKÚ
NYELVVIZSGÁKRA
2. KIAD ÁS
Lexika Tankönyvkiadó
ELŐSZÓ
A feladatgyűjtemény ezer tesztfeladatot és negyven irányított fogalmazásvázlatot tartalmaz. Valamennyi tesztfeladathoz megoldó kulcs készült. A fogalmazás témáit a nyelv- vizsgabizottság előzetes tájékoztatóin közölt tananyagok alapján állhattuk össze. A vázlatokon kívül további húsz témát soroltunk fel, melyek az oxfordi nyelvvizsgák (English First Certificate) anyagát képezik. A z első tíz témához mintafogalmazásokat szerkesztettünk, hogy a nyelvvizsgákra készülök az egyes gondolati egységek arányos elosztását, a szövegek terjedelmét és a levelezésben hasztiálalos keltezést és egyéb kifejezéseket tanulmányozhassák. A középfokú nyelvvizsgákra valamennyi témát levél formájában kell kifejteni (17-18 sor). Néhány téma kidolgozása lehet m ás formában is, m int ahogy ezt a felőfoku nyelvvizsgákra Irt fogalmazások is jelzik. Itt a szövegek terjedelme 21-25 sor.
A tesitfeladaiok célja a kommunikatív készségek fejlesztése, a fontosabb nyelvtani struktúrák tudatosítása és elmélyítése, valamint a szókincs gyarapítása. A középfokú nyelvvizsgákon a nyelvtani ismereteket ellenőrző feladatokat kell megoldani a jelölteknek, míg a felsőfokú nyelvvizsgán a lexika lesz a meghatározó. Tudatosan ezt a kétfa jta nyelvi ismeretet ellenőrző feladatsort nem választottuk szét, hanem folyamatosan követik egymást. Ebből következik, hogy a feladatok nehezebbek, mint a középfokú nyelvvizsgás tesztek.
A nyeltani ismereteket ellenőrző feladatok sokrétű és változatos gyakorlatokat tartalmaznak. A nehezebben elsajátítható nyelvtani struktúrák, mint a szenvedő szerkezetek, feltételes és óhajtó mondatok, igeidők egyeztetése, utókérdések... gyakran ismétlődnek különböző feladatokban. A kontra,uúvitúst szem előtt tartva válogattuk össze azokat a feladatokat, melyekkel az igevomatok, a prepozíciók és az igekötők helyes alkalmazását kívánjuk elősegíteni.
A felsőfoka tesztfeladatokban a szinonimák, kifejezések és a köznyelvben használt fo r dulatok gyakoroltatása az elsődleges cél.
A feladatok megoldásához kitartó m unkát és eredményes nyelvtanulást kíván;

D ear Tamás,I ’m writing to ask you a great favour. As you know, it’s my birthday on May 10th
and I 'd like to give a party to celebrate.However, my flat is very small and, unfortunately, my neighbours always complain if
1 make too much noise. So, do you think I could possibly use that big room at the back of your house where you held your last birthday party?
Also, I was wondering if I could borrow your hi-fi system as well, as it’s much better than mine.
Could you let me know as soon as possible if it’s all right? Thanks a lot.
Regards,

to Omis. We went lo Split by train, and in places the line passes very close lo the sea ; it reminded me of the time we all went to Edinburgh by the east coast route. D o you remember?
Peter has been doing a lot of boating since we arrived - in fact it is hard to drag him away. He says he will write to you, but you must expect his letter when you get it.!
Sonja wants me to come and play tennis, so I will say good-bye to you for the present. Wc shall be glad to hear from you if you have time.

In a good supermarket we can buy nearly all the things we need. Prices arc reasonable, and we don’t have to wait a long time to be served. We can park behind the store and load up our trolley or basket with the things we want and, usually, we have a wide choice.
Sometimes, however, we may forget something in the supermarket, or, perhaps, we suddenly run out of sugar or coffee. Then it is very useful to have a com er shop near our home. If we go there regularly, the shopkeeper is pleased to sec us and the atmosphere is very friendly.
In the future, I think that supermarket will become bigger and bigger and, often, be situated outside the centre o f the big cities. I believe that the comer shop will survive however. It has an important part to play in the life of the community.

Thirty Jr. forty years ago, people were unaware of the dangers o f smoking. You could smoke almost anywhere and no one objected. In films, the hero and heroine often smoked and people identified with them and copied them. Men thought il was manly and women thought it was sophisticated.
SPECIMEN ANSWERS 109
However, nowadays attitudes have changed due to the publicity and warnings about smoking. Smoking has now become a dirty and antisocial habit. It not only makes you ill, but shortens your life as well. Smokers are encouraged to give up and young people are discouraged from starting. Smokers must sit in special areas on planes and in many cinemas, and, in some places, smoking is completely banned.
I ’m a non-smoker, but I hope 1 am-fairly tolerant towards people who do smoke. I think it is very dangerous habit and a waste o f money, However, i f people want to smoke, I think they should be alloved to, provided they don’t disturb non-smokers.

Some weeks ago a friend and I spent a very pleasant holiday in Scbwitzerland. We travelled by train to Zurich and were able to find a cheap hotel in the old part o f the city. It was September, but the weather was still warm and sunny.
W e bought special rail tickets so that we could travel by train to different places every day. I remember one splendid trip we made 10 Schaffhausen, where we visited the famous Rhine Waterfall. W e took a lot o f photographs. Another day we went to St Gallen. That day it poured with rain, but we didn 't mind.
Switzerland is a beautiful country and one day I would like to go back and visit the Italian part.

Dear Feri,Congratulations! I was very pleased to hear about your engagement to Eszter. 1 must
admit that the news didn’t come as a complete surprise because you’ve been going out with her for quite a long time. She's a lovely girl, and I think you’re very lucky! By the way, when's the wedding, or haven't you decided yet?
I know it's none o f my business, but do you intend to carry on hang-gliding when you’re married? You must admit it's a terribly dangerous sport and, quite honestly, it doesn’t seem very fair on Eszter. It must w ony her a lot. D on 't you think you ought to consider giving it up? There are lots o f other sports you could do instead. It’s your decision, of course, but if I were you, I’d think about it seriously.
Anyway, I hope you 'll both be very happy, and 1 shall look forward to the wedding.
All the best,

Although the snow always looks attractive in pictures, most people do not really like il when it falls. Il makes life very difficult. People are late for work because the buses and trains are held up. Driving is dangerous. People often slip on icy pavements and hurt themselves, and everyone worries about frozen pipes.
On the other hand, children usually love the snow. They can build snowmen in the garden and have snowball fights as well. They enjoy sliding downhill on their toboggans or skating on frozen ponds. Not only children but skiers, too, are pleased to see the

I don 't think I have a favourite type of music, because I like a lot o f different kinds. I ’m not only interested in pop music, but in classical music as well, Sometimes I prefer music which makes me want to dance, and sometimes I’d rather listen to music which is quiet and sad. It depends on how I feel at the time.
On the other hand, there is some music I really don’t like, I’m not very fond of serious opera, for example. I find it rather boring. I really dislike electronic music and I can’t stand listening to it. In my opinion it’s not really music. I ’m not very keen on modem jazz either, but I don’t really understand it.
I enjoy being able to listen to music whenever I fe d like it. Sometimes I listen just for pleasure. Sometimes I listen just lo pass the time, like when I ’m driving to work for instance. So, I think music is quite Important in my life.
11.In the middie o f the eighteenth century James Walt invented the steam engine, and
this changed people’s lives. Before the steam engine, most people used to live in villages or small towns and had to work on farms. People used to ride horses o r in carriages pulled by horses, so travelling must have been very slow.
However, the invention o f the steam engine meant that people built factories and started producing goods in large quantities. As a result, many people moved into the towns, which soon became cities. In addition, railways were built and, consequently, people were able to travel long distances by train,
I am interested steam engines and I am sorry they have almost disappeared. I think it must have been very exciting to have lived when they wens first invented.
