WHAT CONTEST DID THE SHIP TAKE PART IN? D. WHY DID THE SHIP STOP CARRYING TEA? E. WHICH RECORDS DID THE SHIP BREAK? F. WHY WERE CLIPPERS BUILT? THE CUTTY SARK – A FAMOUS SHIP 4.1. In the 19th century, tea from China became so popular in England that most families drank it at least twice a day. To be on regular sale in English shops, it had to be transported quickly from China, and in huge quantities. To achieve this aim, special ships, called clippers, were constructed. These were very fast sailing ships, and one of them was the Cutty Sark. 4.2. The Cutty Sark was famous for its speed, and every year it competed in the “tea race”. This was a challenge to see which clipper could transport a cargo of fresh tea from China to England in the shortest time. The British public was fascinated by these races, so the newspapers gave daily reports on the ships’ progress. The Cutty Sark was never the first to cross the finishing line, but it was always among the leaders. 4.3. In 1869, the same year that the Cutty Sark was built, the Suez Canal, connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, was opened. It created a much shorter route to the Far East. However, clippers, such as the Cutty Sark, could not use it as they depended on strong ocean winds. Around the same time, a new type of ship, the steamship, began to transport tea and by the late 1870s, the Cutty Sark, along with the other clippers, had been pushed out of the tea business. 4.4. A Portuguese company bought the Cutty Sark. They used it as a cargo ship which sailed between Portugal and Africa. After some time, the ship was unable to continue sailing, and it seemed that its life was over. However, in 1923, a retired ship’s captain, Wilfred Dowman, bought the old clipper. And some years later, in 1951, the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich provided funds to renovate the ship. Now it is a museum visited by people from all around the world.

Przeczytaj cztery teksty (A–D). Wykonaj zadania 5.1.–5.7. zgodnie z poleceniami. Tekst A John’s Blog The summer holidays are approaching fast, and I’m going to get my first job. You can do the same. Check out the options below and let me know in the comments which one you prefer.  What could be more fun than summer festivals? These events are held in towns across the country every summer, and with them come some great summer jobs for teenagers. As a festival worker, you might sell tickets, work at a registration table, or provide information to visitors.  Summer is the most popular holiday season, which means a lot of house-sitters are needed. The work mainly involves visiting a neighbour’s home while they are away so their house doesn’t appear empty. Additionally, you may be asked to take care of their plants, or to keep an eye on the post. It’s an easy job, and it won’t take you much time.  If you love video games, being a video game tester may be your ideal summer job. You can even work from your own room! Video game companies depend on testers to discover problems before their games go onto the market. You’ll need to have your own gaming equipment, but sometimes the company sends you everything you need. You’ll have to report any problems you run into while playing the game.

But working over the summer break can benefit teens in many other ways, too. They can gain valuable life skills, because having a job often makes them more confident and teaches them how to manage their time and work in a team. It would be interesting to know if the same survey conducted among university students would give similar results.

However, the summer that Alex 16.04. year was really hot and the library didn’t have air conditioning, so at times 2:15 p.m. I found working there uncomfortable. My first holiday job was helping my elderly neighbours in their garden. The Paul problem was that they didn’t pay me in cash, but just gave me some vegetables 16.04. to take home. Although I liked working outdoors, I was not very happy about this 3:44 p.m. arrangement, because at that time I was saving up to buy a smartwatch. Getting a summer job wasn’t easy. I applied at a pizza place and at a café, but I wasn’t old enough to do most of the duties. With my neighbour’s help, Mark 16.04. however, I got a job as a “standardized patient” at the local hospital. My job 4:10 p.m. was to play the role of a patient so that medical students could practise their communication skills on me. The money was good, but I sometimes found it hard to understand their questions.

This will cover the following:  what types of jobs are available for teens  where to look for jobs  how to answer questions on job application forms  what information to provide and ask about during an interview.

Last week I saw the results of a survey which say that only 5.4. ______________________________________________ are definitely not going to work during the summer holidays. I don’t want to be one of them. The commentary to this survey confirms that having a job can be beneficial. Apart from the money you earn, you become more sure of yourself and also learn 5.5. _______________________________, for example how to improve your time management, but I must admit that cash is also important to me. I would like to become a video game tester. If that doesn’t work out, I have another option. I could be a 5.6. ___________________________________________ when my neighbours go on holiday. I hope I’ll earn enough this summer to buy some new games. I’ve read that one teenager 5.7. ______________________________________________ instead of money for his work. I wouldn’t want anything like that to happen to me! How about your holidays? Write soon! Robert

You may wonder why I was there. There are people who have no homes. And I wanted to help. That’s the reason that convinced my dad to allow me to go. He even made a donation to the Homes from the Heart Summer Program for Teens. Somewhere near baggage reclaim, I started looking for a sign with my name on it. I collected my suitcase, but there was no sign. Instinctively, I reached into my backpack, looking for the little compartment designed to hold my cell phone. It was empty. It’s one of the rules for all teen volunteers: no cell phones. But even if I’d taken my cell phone to Tennessee, who would I call to ask for help? I was standing in the middle of the huge arrivals hall and I didn’t know anybody. Finally, I saw it: H. EVANS. The man holding the sign was tall with red hair and a red beard. I walked towards him and introduced myself. “I’m Harper Evans.” “Nice to meet you. I’m Linus.” He stuck out his hand, and I shook it. “Welcome to Memphis. I’m your group leader for the summer,” he said. I knew this already. I had read the short paragraph about him that had come with the paperwork. Linus Devereaux. I learned that he’d built homes in Alaska, Mississippi, the Florida Gulf Coast, South Dakota, Haiti, and the Congo. We walked through the terminal until we reached the baggage reclaim area for another airline, and then Linus took out a sign that said F. GREGORY. “We’ve got lots of city kids coming. Kids from all over the world,” he told me. “There’s plenty to learn, but we’ll help you at any stage. We’ll be on the road soon, but we’ve just got to wait for two more volunteers.” Dad and I have an arrangement. Whenever I go somewhere, I call to tell him that I arrived safely. I sat down on my suitcase and grabbed my backpack. And again I reached for the phone that wasn’t there. It was a reflex. An addiction. Linus noticed what I’d done and pulled out a cell phone from the leather case attached to his belt, and threw it to me. I caught it one-handed. “Call your father,” he said. That was impressive! I hadn’t said a word about it. I was just thinking about how I needed to call dad. I stepped outside into the Tennessee heat. Dad answered straight away and sounded relieved when he heard my voice.

MISTAKEN MICHELIN STAR Every year, the well-known Michelin company publishes a guide to restaurants that have been awarded the highly respected Michelin stars. 7.1. ____ She didn’t own a large and expensive restaurant. Her bistro in Bourges, a small town in France, is a cosy place with 20 tables, which mostly serves inexpensive lunches to local workers.

One of them asked the owner of the Parisian restaurant, Aymeric Dreux, if he had opened a second restaurant in Bourges.
