BEVEZETŐ
A Közoktatási Törvény szerint a tanulóknak már az általános iskolákban idegen nyelvet kell
tanulniuk. Ezt a tényt figyelembe véve, minden középiskolában tanulmányait megkezdő diák
már rendelkezik alapismeretekkel valamely idegen nyelv terén. A tananyag ezt az
előképzettséget feltételezi, és ezért nem a hagyományos tankönyvek felépítését követi. Az első
részben a legfontosabb nyelvtani elemeket eleveníti fel, és gyakorlatokkal teszi lehetővé annak
elmélyítését. A második rész olyan szituációkat, illetve témákat tartalmaz, amelyek a korosztály
számára érdekesek lehetnek. Ez a rész tartalmaz ízelítőt a levélírás, az olvasásértés, hallás
utáni értés és beszédkészség területéről. Mivel alapvetően heti három órában van lehetőség
idegen nyelvvel találkozni, a tananyag másfél évre javasolt.

KOMPETENCIA
Kompetencia: Azon elvárható ismeretek, képességek, magatartási és viselkedési jegyek
összessége, mely által a személy képes lesz egy adott feladat eredményes teljesítésére.
Belépési/bemeneti kompetencia: Mindazon kompetenciák összessége, melyek szükségesek
egy képzés,- szakképzés megkezdéséhez.
Kilépési/kimeneti kompetencia: Mindazon kompetenciák összessége, melyek szükségesek
egy képzés,- szakképzés befejezéséhez, a szakképesítés megszerzéséhez.
Kompetencia alapú képzés: Olyan képzés, mely előre meghatározott kompetenciák
megszerzésére irányul. A tanuló ismeri a megszerzendő kompetenciákat és a kompetencia
megszerzését mérő-értékelő módszereket is. A tanulók tudását, teljesítményét individualizált
módon mérik.
Általános/kulcskompetenciák: Azon kompetenciák összessége,
képzésben (szakmacsoportban) minden tanulónak el kell sajátítani.
melyeket
egy
adott
Kompetencia struktúra:
• Ismeretek, tudás: megszerzett (szakmai) információk, amivel az adott személy –
különböző szinten – rendelkezik.
• Készségek, képességek: melyek adott fizikai és szellemi feladatok teljesülésének
képességét biztosítják.
• Tulajdonságok (személyiségvonások): vagyis a pszichikai-fizikai jellemzők, és a
helyzetekre, információkra adott válaszreakciók.
Elvárható, hogy a szakképzés megkezdéséig a tanulók - addigi tanulmányaik és
élettapasztalataik alapján - már rendelkezzenek a kompetenciák egy olyan „átlagos” szintjével,
amelyre – szakmájától függetlenül – minden embernek szüksége van munkája során.
A kidolgozásra került kompetencia térkép az idegen nyelv területén az oktatás bemeneti
kompetenciáit tartalmazza, melyeket a képzés megkezdése előtt (közben?), illetve a képzés
befejezésekor kívánunk mérni.
A szakképzést előkészítő évfolyamon szakképzést előkészítő, kompetencia-alapú oktatás
folyik. Itt nyílik lehetőség a kiemelt kompetenciák fejlesztésére is. Ennek keretében
alapkészségek fejlesztése, szocializáció, pályaorientáció és szakmai alapozás történik.
A kompetencia-alapú fejlesztés a szakképzés megkezdéséhez szükséges bemeneti
kompetenciák megszerzését teszi lehetővé. A tanulási utak sajátos, komplex támogatását tűzi
ki feladatként, s ezzel túllép az oktatás-nevelés-képzés hagyományos rendszerén, ugyanakkor
előírja az egyéni különbségekre alapozott nevelés kialakításának szükségességét.
Általános tanulási képességek: Képes új információk, ismeretek befogadására, és
felhasználására. Ott lehet kulcskompetencia, ahol a szakembernek gyakran és/vagy gyorsan új
információt, ismereteket, módszereket, eljárásokat kell elsajátítania.
Idegen nyelv tanuási képességek: A magyar nyelv helyes elsajátítása mellett ma már
alapkövetelmény legalább egy idegen nyelv ismerete.
6
Tananyagfejlesztés: Angol nyelv
Kreativitás ötletgazdagság: Képes a feladat elvégzéséhez/megoldásához szükséges újszerű
ötletek kigondolására.
Fogalmazó készség: Képes gondolatait kerek és egymással összefüggő mondatokban
megfogalmazni. Olyan szakmákban kulcskompetencia, ahol a kommunikáció tartalma és/vagy a
kommunikációs partner gyakran változik, ugyanakkor a szakember munkájának sikere azon
múlik, hogy hogyan tud mások számára érthető módon információt átadni.
Nyelvhelyesség: Gondolatai átadása során a megfelelő kifejezéseket használja, valamint
helyesen alkalmazza a nyelvtani és mondatszerkesztési szabályokat. Olyan szakmákban lehet
fontos, ahol a szakember szóbeli és/vagy írásbeli megnyilvánulásai alapján alkotnak képet az
ügyfelek, partnerek a cégről, illetve ahol mások számára „minta” lehet a szakember
kommunikációja.
A kulcskompetenciák: Mielőtt érdemben foglalkoznánk a tanulás-tanítás kompetencia-alapú
megközelítésével a kulcskompetenciák fejlesztésének és értékelésének problémáival, érdemes
különbséget tenni a kompetencia és a kulcskompetencia fogalma között. Az OECD által indított
DeSeCo (Defining and Selecting Key Competencies) program (1997-2002) a következő módon
definiálta a kompetencia fogalmát: „a kompetencia képesség a komplex feladatok adott
kontextusban történő sikeres megoldására”. A fogalom magában foglalja az ismeretek
mobilizálását, a kognitív és gyakorlati képességeket, a szociális és magatartási komponenseket
és attitűdöket, az érzelmeket és értékeket egyaránt. A DeSECo programban részt vett
szakemberek a sikeres társadalmi léthez, a jelen és a jövő kihívásainak legyőzéséhez
szükséges kompetenciákat határozták meg. Az együttműködéssel, a társadalmi léttel, az
alkalmazható tudással és az egész életen át tartó tanulással kapcsolatos kulcskompetenciákat
emelték ki. Azokról a kompetenciákról van szó, amelyek a munkába álláshoz, az élethez és a
korszerű műveltség megszerzéséhez elengedhetetlenül szükségesek, egyéni, társadalmi és
gazdasági szinten egyaránt fontosak. Hasonló elvek és szempontok szerint dolgozott az
Európai Unió alapképességek (basic skills), majd kulcskompetencia (key competence)
munkabizottsága, amely nyolc területet értelmezett az alábbiak szerint: anyanyelvi
kommunikáció, idegen nyelvi kommunikáció, matematikai és természettudományos
kompetencia, digitális kompetencia, a hatékony, önálló tanulás, szociális és állampolgári
kompetencia, kezdeményezőképesség és vállalkozói kompetencia, kulturális tudatosság. A
kulcskompetenciák felsorolásán túl az egyes területek meghatározása és strukturálása
(ismeretek, képességek, attitűdök) is megjelenik.
Szükséges ismeretek, képességek, attitűdök: Az egyén rendelkezik azzal a képességgel,
hogy különféle kommunikációs helyzetekben, szóban és írásban kommunikálni tud,
kommunikációját figyelemmel kíséri, és a helyzetnek megfelelően alakítja. Képes
megkülönböztetni és felhasználni különféle típusú szövegeket, megkeresni, összegyűjteni és
feldolgozni információkat, képes különböző segédeszközöket használni, saját szóbeli és írásbeli
érveit a helyzetnek megfelelő módon meggyőzően megfogalmazni és kifejezni. A pozitív attitűd
magában foglalja a kritikus és építő jellegű párbeszédre való törekvést, az esztétikai minőség
tiszteletét, és mások megismerésének az igényét. Ehhez ismernünk kell a nyelv másokra
gyakorolt hatását, a társadalmilag felelős nyelvhasználat jelentőségét.
A hatékony, önálló tanulás: A hatékony, önálló tanulás azt jelenti, hogy az egyén képes
kitartóan tanulni, saját tanulását megszervezni, egyénileg és csoportban egyaránt, ideértve az
idővel és az információval való hatékony gazdálkodást is. Felismeri szükségleteit és
lehetőségeit, ismeri a tanulás folyamatát. Ez egyrészt új ismeretek szerzését, feldolgozását és
beépülését, másrészt útmutatások, stratégiák, értelmezési sémák, forgatókönyvek keresését és
alkalmazását jelenti. A hatékony és önálló tanulás arra készteti a tanulót, hogy előzetes tanulási
7
Tananyagfejlesztés: Angol nyelv
és élettapasztalataira építve tudását és képességeit helyzetek sokaságában használja otthon, a
munkában, az oktatásban és képzésben. A motiváció és a magabiztosság e kompetencia
elengedhetetlen eleme. Ahol a tanulás a munka- vagy karriercélok teljesítését szolgálja, az
egyénnek megfelelő ismeretekkel kell rendelkeznie a szükséges kompetenciákról,
tudástartalmakról, képességekről és szakképesítésekről. A hatékony és önálló tanulás feltétele,
hogy az egyén ismerje és értse saját tanulási stratégiáit, készségeinek és szaktudásának erős
és gyenge pontjait, valamint képes legyen megtalálni a számára elérhető oktatási és képzési
lehetőségeket, útmutatást/támogatást. A hatékony és önálló tanulás olyan alapvető képességek
meglétét igényli, mint az írás, olvasás, számolás, valamint az IST5-eszközök használata. E
készségekre épül az új ismeretek elsajátítása, feldolgozása és beépítése. A hatékony és önálló
tanulás további feltétele a saját tanulási stratégia kialakítása, a motiváció folyamatos
fenntartása, a figyelem összpontosítása, valamint a tanulás szándékának és céljának kritikus
mérlegelése. Az egyénnek képesnek kell lennie a közös munkára és tudásának másokkal való
megosztására heterogén csoportban, saját munkája értékelésére és szükség esetén tanács,
információ és támogatás kérésére. A pozitív attitűd mögött motiváció és magabiztosság
húzódik, amely a sikeres tanulás egyik záloga lehet egész életen át. A problémamegoldó attitűd
segíti a tanulási folyamatot, az akadályok leküzdését és a változások kezelését. A pozitív
hozzáállás elengedhetetlen eleme, hogy korábbi tanulási és élettapasztalatainkat felhasználjuk,
új tanulási lehetőségeket kutassunk fel, és a tanultakat az élet minden területén széles körben
alkalmazzuk. A Nemzeti Alaptanterv meghatározása szerint: „A kulcskompetenciák azok a
kompetenciák, amelyekre minden egyénnek szüksége van személyes boldogulásához és
fejlődéséhez, az aktív állampolgári léthez, a társadalmi beilleszkedéshez és a munkához”.
A kulcskompetenciák fejlesztése: Hogyan lehet a hazai pedagógiai hagyományokhoz
illeszteni és a tartalmi szabályozás rendszerébe beépíteni, elterjeszteni az Európai Unió
ajánlását? Nyilvánvaló, hogy a kérdés megválaszolása nem pusztán oktatáspolitikai és elméleti
szempontból izgalmas. A kulcskompetenciák hatékony, iskolai fejlesztéséről és megbízható
értékeléséről van szó.
Makroszinten a következő kérdések merülnek fel:
• Hogyan függenek össze a tanulói és a tanári kompetenciák?
• Milyen kapcsolat van a hatékony kompetenciafejlesztés (tanulói, tanári) és az
intézményi innováció között?
8
Tananyagfejlesztés: Angol nyelv
A kulcskompetenciák hatékony, iskolai fejlesztése mikroszinten tantervi, tanulásszervezési és
módszertani problémákat egyaránt érint. A tantervi tananyag fogalmának és szerepének
megváltozása alapvető tényező a fejlesztésben. A Pedagógiai Lexikon meghatározása szerint a
tantervi tananyag az „oktatás és a tanulás kiválasztott, elrendezett tudásanyaga”. A tananyag
komplex rendszert alkot, amely több szempontból csoportosítható. Belső struktúráját a hazai
oktatáselmélet hagyományosan az ismeretek és az alkalmazások tananyagaira osztja fel.
Ennek megfelelően a tantervi tartalom összetett, komplex rendszer, nem egyenlő a tananyag
horizontális és vertikális elrendezésével. Napjainkban a tantervi tartalom kiválasztásában és
elrendezésében kiemelt szerepet kapnak a fejlesztendő kulcskompetenciák. A tantervi tartalom
nem kötött, hanem lényegesen rugalmasabb, a fejlesztés eszközként működik. Hazai kutatások
is kimutatták, hogy a tudás transzferjét két tényező hátráltatja. A kötött tartalom és a
gondolkodási képességek fejletlensége. A tantervi tartalom ennek értelmében nem pusztán
mennyiségi, hanem strukturális probléma.
Mindez a gyakorlatban: Hogyan lehet a tartalomba ágyazott képességfejlesztést a
gyakorlatban megvalósítani? A tantervi tartalom tudatos tervezése és strukturálása mellett a
fejlesztések döntő tényezője a tanulás-tanítás tervezése mellett a folyamat szervezése. A
kulcskompetenciák hatékony fejlesztése előtérbe helyezi egyfelől az iskolán belüli és kívüli
(formális, non-formális és informális) tanulást, másrészt a progresszív (kooperatív és személyre
szabott tanulás) technikákat. Ezzel párhuzamosan kiemelt szerephez jutnak a fejlesztés
folyamatában a tanulásszervezés motiváló módszerei. A teljesség igénye nélkül: a
csoportmunka, a játék, a vita, a kutató-felfedező módszer, a projekt-módszer. A folyamat
tervezése és szervezése azt is jelenti, hogy a fejlesztés szereplői (kutatók, programfejlesztők,
pedagógusok, tanulók) tudják azt, hogy honnan hová szeretnének eljutni. Megbízható módon
ismerik a kiinduló helyzetet, nyomon követik az adott kompetenciaterület fejlődését.

Hi. I’m thinking of going to the cinema with my sister. Would you like to join us?
That’s a great idea. I have a monthly cinema program. Let’s check what’s on, shall we?
Actually, I have the multiplex cinema program. Why don’t we see ‘Taxi 2’, a French action film? They
say it’s fantastic. The problem is that it is subtitled and I hate reading captures.
Well, I’m not keen on action films either. How about the American family movie, ‘The 102 Dalmatians’
with the Oscar winner Glenn Close and all those lovely puppies in it?
Yeah, I know the story but I’m not interested in children’s movies. We should
choose something more exciting. What about seeing the ‘50 first dates’, which is
an American comedy and it is dubbed.

transfer, please?
Yes. Is there anything that I can do for you?
I wonder when and where breakfast is served.
Buffet breakfast is served between 7 and 10 in the hotel restaurant on the 1st floor but you can have
breakfast in bed.
Can you tell me what sports facilities the hotel offers for guests?
In fact, there is an open air swimming pool and tennis courts in the garden behind the building.
Finally, can I make phone calls and have access to the Internet from my room?
Certainly. There are conference facilities and a mini bar in your room.
When should I vacate the room after checking out?
At 12 but we can store your luggage in a spare room and guard your valuables in the hotel safe.
Thank you so much.

It sounds like a great idea. Where shall we go?
Why don’t we go rafting or bungee jumping? I find both of them exciting.

I think we may set off earlier on Friday if it’s all right with you.
Perfect. But I should be back for Sunday if it’s possible.

Hi. How are you?
Not bad, but unfortunately, I have put on some weight recently. What do you suggest I should do?
You had better take up some kind of sports. What about tennis or jogging?
Well, tennis sounds all right to me. But where can we pursue it?
Actually, there is a tennis court near the Boating Lake and two more in Sitke.
Good idea, but I’m afraid, I’m very busy on weekdays so let’s go at weekends, shall we?
Right. Saturday morning is OK with me. Shall I give you a lift to Sitke then?
Perfect. Can we meet at 10 in front of my house?
By the way, why don’t we have a hearty meal and a drink in the local pub? They say food is fantastic
there.
It might be an idea. We’ll see.
See you on Saturday.

Unfortunately, I have put on some weight recently. I love eating, especially chocolate and cakes. How
about you? Are you health conscious?
You had better stop eating chocolate and snacks because they will make you overweight.
What should I do to be in good shape?
If I were you I would eat brown bread, dairy products and cereals for breakfast and white meat, fish with
salad or vegetable sauce for lunch. And you should drink a lot of mineral water or natural fruit juice.
Sounds like a good idea. I think I ‘ll start a healthy diet tomorrow.

Hungarian restaurant and taste Hungarian specialities.
This place has a nice atmosphere with wooden furniture, Matyó
embroidery and pottery. Take a seat and let’s look at the menu,
shall we?
What shall we have for starter? What do you recommend?
Would you like to have goose liver, fish soup or pancake with meat filling Hortobagy style?
I’m afraid I don’t eat meat. I’d prefer the soup. What shall we have for the main course?
I think I’ll have beef stew or pork in breadcrumbs but I can recommend you noodles with cottage cheese
and sour cream which is excellent here.
Fine. How about the dessert? Shall I try some of your specialities?
Well, we can choose from cherry strudel, pancake a’la Gundel or chestnut paste with whipped cream.
They all sound very delicious. I believe I’ll have the chestnut dessert.
You should taste some of our famous wines, for example dry wine with the fish and sweet Tokaj wine or
rose with the dessert.

Hi. The school year is over. Why don’t we book a holiday?
That’s a good idea. Where shall we travel?
I would personally go to the seaside in Italy. I have a Neckerman brochure
about Italian holidays.
OK. Let’s have a look. Where shall we stay? How much does accommodation
cost per person per night?
The 4-star hotel costs 50 Euros and the campsite costs 12 Euros. The hotel is much more expensive. Can
we afford to pay that much?
I’m not sure. How about the services they offer?
The hotel has a swimming pool, a restaurant, a car park and the campsite offers washing facilities and a
place to put up your tent.
How far are they from the beach?
The hotel is 500 m from the sea but the campsite is right on the beach.
Which one should we choose?
I think the cheaper will do. We shouldn’t waste our money on accommodation. We won’t spend too much
time in our place anyway when we are on holiday.
I’m convinced. Let’s go to the travel agency and book our holiday.

The group size in both cases is limited to 8 to 10 students.

Right. What is next to the museum?
In fact, there is a lovely park in front of the building and it’s opposite the
church.
So, I should go straight then turn left. I can see a park at the front. I’m
wondering how far it is? How much does it take to get there?
It’s about 15 minutes on foot.
Shall I take public transportation as well?
Yeah. There is a bus stop over there at the corner. You can take bus No 17 and you should get off at the

There are several reasons. For example I‘ll be available all the time. If I

changes in my programs.
All right, it sounds a good idea. Still you can’t use it at school, can you? It’s against the rules.
No, not really. During the breaks it’s OK to phone. I can let you know my test results. Besides, it’s not
just a phone but you can send SMS messages and take photos with it, which can be very useful too.
OK. .I’m convinced. Go ahead and buy one.

Go ahead. What would you like to know?
Can you tell me what the weather is like in July? Does it often rain?
Well, summers are usually hot and dry, the temperature is over 30 degrees. The sun shines all the time.
Sometimes there are scattered showers even storms with thunder and lightening in the evenings.
Also, what clothes am I supposed to bring? Should I take elegant clothing?
Actually, you will only need light clothes for example jeans, T-shirts, trainers and of course a jumper or a
raincoat just in case. I’m planning to take you to an open air musical so you might bring smart clothes as
well. By the way don’t forget about your swimsuit.

Do you happen to know what the opening hours of the museum are and how much the ticket costs?
Well, the Nadasdy Museum is open from 10 to 6 every day excluding Mondays. The entrance ticket
is 400 Hungarian forints but there is a reduction of 100 forints for children under 10.
I’d also be interested in the entertainment facilities. I wonder if there are any good restaurants
nearby where we can spend the evenings?
Certainly. Sarvar is rich in entertainment facilities, there are a number of good restaurants and pubs, I
hope you don’t mind my asking about a good restaurant in the centre of the city?
As a matter of fact, my favourite one is Varkapu, which is just opposite the castle, the food is
delicious and the prices are reasonable, not too high.
Could you please let me know about the shopping facilities? Where could I buy souvenirs for my family
and friends?
You could either buy souvenirs in the Gift shop of the museum or you can find a Folk Art shop in
Batthyany Street opposite the Church.
Thank you very much. I’m really grateful.

VII. HOUSEWORK
The Browns are a very busy family. Mr Brown is a bank manager, his wife, Mrs Brown works as a doctor
in a private health care centre. They hardly have time to do the housework, so they pay a cleaning lady to
help them with the housework. Mr Brown is not a 'Jack of all trades'; he can't even change a bulb. When
something goes wrong in their house they need to call a repairman who can fix it. If you don't have a
cleaner, you have to do the housework at home.

WRITING
Hogyan írjunk baráti levelet?
Hogyan írjunk levelet angolul? Ez egy fontos kérdés. Nemcsak azért, mert a hétköznapi életben
nagyon sokszor szükségünk lehet rá, hanem azért is, mert szinte mindegyik nyelvvizsga típus
tartalmaz egy levélírás feladatot. Az első részben a nem hivatalos levéllel foglalkozunk.
Mielőtt megnéznénk egy konkrét példát, nézzük meg, hogy milyen szabályokat kell ismerni, és milyen
hasznos kifejezéseket tudsz felhasználni levélíráskor!
A címedet kell a jobb felső sarokba írni, házszám, utca neve, helység, ország, irányítószám,
nevet nem kell írni
A dátumot a címed alá írd, ilyen formában: milyen nap, hónap, év
Levél bevezetése (miért írsz, hogy van, stb.)
Külön bekezdésekben a témák, amelyeket érinteni akarsz
Levél befejezése, elköszönés
Nézzük először a legfontosabb formai szabályokat:
a megszólítás után (Dear Pedro) nem felkiáltójel, hanem vessző jön
a hivatalos levéllel ellentétben itt szokásos összevont alakokat használni (it's, we're, didn't, stb.)
ha nagyon jól ismered a személyt, akinek írsz, akkor befejezheted a leveledet a következő
kifejezésekkel:
'Love' , 'Lots of love' , ' Take care', ' Hugs'
ha nem akarsz ennyire személyeskedő lenni, akkor ennyit írj a levél aljára elköszönésképpen:
'Best wishes' vagy 'Warm regards' , 'Cheers'
a következő kifejezések, mondatok használatosak a baráti levél egyes bekezdései előtt, ill.
magában a levélben:
Hope it’ll help you.
You’ve been most helpful.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it on
Friday.
Well, I must be off now.
By the way, I’ve got to tell you …
Why don’t you come and see us?
Write back soon.
I’m looking forward to hearing from
you.
Keep in touch.
How’re you? Hope everything is going
well.
How about getting together?
Pop in for a chat sometime.

Dear Emma,
Thanks a lot for your recent letter. It was good to hear from you. I’m sorry it’s taken such a long
time to reply to your last letter, I’ve been busy with my exams.
Anyway, the reason I’m writing now is to let you know that Jane and I have decided to hold a
housewarming party on Saturday 23rd June. It would be great if you could come.
By the way, we’re planning a big party with 30 guests. You’ll know all of them, because they’re
old schoolmates. There’ll be a lot to eat and drink, of course. We thought that a variety of Mexican dishes
would be perfect since all of us love spicy food. Jane has already started planning the menu and making
the decorations and so on.
I guess, you’ll probably coming by train, wont’you? Just give us a ring from the station when you
arrive and I’ll pick you up. I expect the party will go on quite late so you need to stay overnight. Don’t
worry, there’s plenty of room for both of you, we can put you up.
Well, hope you can make it. Do try and come, it seems ages since I last saw you. Please let me
know as soon as possible if you can join us.
Bye for now.
Take care,
Brian

Hogyan írjunk hivatalos levelet?
Az első részben megnéztük, hogyan kell baráti hangvételű levelet írni. Most térjük át a hivatalos
levélre, és nézzük meg, ebben az esetben milyen szabályokra kell figyelnünk!
Mielőtt megnéznénk egy konkrét levélmintát, vizsgáljuk meg a legfontosabb formai szabályokat,
és kifejezéseket!
A Te címedet kell a jobb felső sarokba írni
A bal felső sarokba irjuk annak a személynek a nevét /titulusát/, ill. a cégnek a nevét, akihez a
levél szól
Dátum: nap, hónap, év a címed alatt lesz
Bevezetés: In reference to your letter of 3 May 2010 I would like to… - Hivatkozva a 2010.
májusi levelére szeretnék…
A levél különálló bekezdésekben taglalja a témákat, amiket érinteni akarunk. Minden bekezdést
kezdjünk beljebb, hogy jól elkülönüljenek
Befejezés: I look forward to hearing from you. – Nagyon várom válszukat.
A Te aláírásod teljes név legyen
Nézzük először a legfontosabb formai szabályokat:
a megszólítás után vessző legyen
a nem hivatalos levéllel ellentétben, itt NEM LEHET összevont alakokat használni, ki kell írni a
teljes alakot (DO NOT, IT IS), stb.
ha nem ismered a személyt, akinek írsz, akkor a megszólítás: 'Dear Sir or Madam' és a levelet a
következőképpen fejezd be: 'Yours faithfully' (Amerikai angolban: 'Truly yours')
Ha tudod a nevét a személynek, akihez írsz, akkor így szólítsd meg: 'Dear Mr/Miss/Ms/Mrs
Williams' és így fejezd be: 'Yours sincerely' (Amerikai angolban: 'Respectfully vagy 'Truly
yours')
A következő kifejezések és mondatok használatosak a bekezdések elején, ill. magában a
levélben.

1. Mount Vesuvius
Mount Vesuvius, a volcano located between the ancient Italian cities of Pompeii and
Herculaneum, has received much attention because of its frequent and destructive eruptions.
The most famous of these eruptions occurred in A. D. 79.
The volcano had been inactive for centuries. There was little warning of the coming eruption,
although one account unearthed by archaeologists says that a hard rain and a strong wind had
disturbed the celestial calm during the preceding night. Early the next morning, the volcano
poured a huge river of molten rock down upon Herculaneum, completely burying the city and
filling in the harbor with coagulated lava.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, cinders, stone and ash rained down on Pompeii.
Sparks from the burning ash ignited the combustible rooftops quickly. Large portions of the city
were destroyed in the conflagration. Fire, however, was not the only cause of destruction.
Poisonous sulphuric gases saturated the air. These heavy gases were not buoyant in the
atmosphere and therefore sank toward the earth and suffocated people.
Over the years, excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum have revealed a great deal about the
behavior of the volcano. By analyzing data, much as a zoologist dissects a specimen animal,
scientist have concluded that the eruption changed large portions of the area's geography. For
instance, it turned the Sarno River from its course and raised the level of the beach along the
Bay of Naples. Meteorologists studying these events have also concluded that Vesuvius caused
a huge tidal wave that affected the world's climate.
In addition to making these investigations, archaeologists have been able to study the skeletons
of victims by using distilled water to wash away the volcanic ash. By strengthening the brittle
bones with acrylic paint, scientists have been able to examine the skeletons and draw
conclusions about the diet and habits of the residents. Finally, the excavations at both Pompeii
and Herculaneum have yielded many examples of classical art, such as jewelry made of
bronze, which is an alloy of copper and tin.
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius and its tragic consequences have provided us with a wealth of
data about the effects that volcanoes can have on the surrounding area. Today volcanologists
can locate and predict eruptions, saving lives and preventing the destruction of cities and
cultures.

2. Santa's Reindeer
We all know that Santa's sleigh is pulled through the sky by a team of reindeer. But where did
this essential part of our Christmas/Xmas tradition originate? Like much of the modern
Christmas, the origin of Santa's reindeer is relatively new. They were first devised by Clement
Clarke Moore in his famous 1822 poem "A Visit From Saint Nicholas". This is better known
today as "The Night Before Christmas". Here he describes Saint Nicholas being pulled by a
team of eight reindeer.
What Are The Names Of Santa's Reindeer?
Knowing what Santa's reindeer are called is a great skill for quiz nights! According to Moore's
original poem the eight reindeer were named:
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder / Donner, Blixem / Blitzen
It has been suggested that in the original version Donner and Blitzen (thunder and lightning)
were actually called by the Dutch equivalents of Dunder (sometimes Donder) and Blixem.
Rudolph
One name is conspicuous from the list above by its absence: the most famous reindeer of all,
Rudolph. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is the best known of all Santa's reindeer yet he wasn't
part of the original team of eight.
Rudolph was created in 1939 by Robert L. May. May worked for the Montgomery Ward chain of
department stores which used to give away free colouring books and other gifts to children over
Christmas. They wanted a story specially written for them and May - who already liked to write
children's stories - was assigned the task
May invented Rudolph, a shy reindeer with an unusually shiny red nose who was a bit of an
ugly duckling but whose shiny nose ultimately saved the day. The story was a great success
and Rudolph became an instant hit. May's original poem was turned into the famous song by his
brother-in-law Johnny Marks.

3. Christmas on the British Isles
Many of our current American ideals about the way Christmas ought to be derive from the
English Victorian Christmas, such as that described in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The
caroling, the gifts, the feast, and the wishing of good cheer to all - these ingredients came
together to create that special Christmas atmosphere.
The custom of gift-giving on Christmas dates only to Victorian times. Before then it was more
common to exchange gifts on New Year's Day or Twelfth Night. Santa Claus is known by British
children as Father Christmas. Father Christmas, these days, is quite similar to the American
Santa, but his direct ancestor is a certain pagan spirit who regularly appeared in medieval
mummer's plays. The old-fashioned Father Christmas was depicted wearing long robes with
sprigs of holly in his long white hair. Children write letters to Father Christmas detailing their
requests, but instead of dropping them in the mailbox, the letters are tossed into the fireplace.
The draft carries the letters up the chimney, and theoretically, Father Christmas reads the
smoke. Gifts are opened Christmas afternoon.
From the English we get a story to explain the custom of hanging stockings from the
mantelpiece. Father Christmas once dropped some gold coins while coming down the chimney.
The coins would have fallen through the ash grate and been lost if they hadn't landed in a
stocking that had been hung out to dry. Since that time children have continued to hang out
stockings in hopes of finding them filled with gifts.
The custom of singing carols at Christmas is also of English origin. During the middle ages,
groups of serenades called "waits" would travel around from house to house singing ancient
carols and spreading the holiday spirit. The word "carol" means "song of joy." Most of the
popular old carols we sing today were written in the nineteenth century.
The hanging of greens, such as holly and ivy, is a British winter tradition with origins far before
the Christian era. Greenery was probably used to lift sagging winter spirits and remind the
people that spring was not far away. The custom of kissing under the mistletoe is descended
from ancient Druid rites. The decorating of Christmas trees, though primarily a German custom,
has been widely popular in England since 1841 when Prince Albert had a Christmas tree set up
in Windsor Castle for his wife Queen Victoria, and their children.
The word "wassail" is derived from the Anglo-Saxon phrase waes hael, which means "good
health." Originally, wassail was a beverage made of mulled ale, curdled cream, roasted apples,
nuts, eggs, and spices. It was served for the purpose of enhancing the general merriment of the
season. Like many of the ancient customs, "wassailing" has a legend to explain its origin. It
seems that a beautiful Saxon maiden named Rowena presented Prince Vortigen with a bowl of
wine while toasting him with the words "Waes hael." Over the centuries a great deal of
ceremony had developed around the custom of drinking wassail. The bowl is carried into a room
with great fanfare, a traditional carol about the drink is sung, and finally, the steaming hot
beverage is served.
For many years in England, a roasted boar's head has been associated with Holiday feasting.
The custom probably goes back to the Norse practice of sacrificing a boar at Yuletide in honor
of the god Freyr. One story tells of a student at Oxford's Queen College who was attacked on
Christmas Day by a wild boar. All he had in his hand to use as a weapon was his copy of
Aristotle, so he shoved the book down the boar's throat. Wanting to retrieve his book, the
student cut off the animal's head and brought it back to the college where it was served for
Christmas dinner with much pomp and ceremony.
The celebration of Boxing Day, which takes place on December 26 - the feast of St. Stephen, is
a part of the holiday season unique to Great Britain. Traditionally, it is on this day that the alms
box at every English church is opened and the contents are distributed to the poor. Also, this is
the day that servants traditionally got the day off to celebrate with their families. It became
traditional for working people to break open their tip boxes on this day. Boxing Day began in the
mid-nineteenth century when the custom of tipping by rich persons to persons in service
positions had apparently gotten out of hand. Children and others pretended to be in the trades
128
Tananyagfejlesztés: Angol nyelv
and solicited tips. The custom was expanded to giving to anyone and everyone who had less
money than you did, and soon the streets at Christmastime were full of aggressive soliciting of
tips. To contain the nuisance "Boxing Day" was designated as the one day for giving to the less
fortunate.

2. Valentine’s Day is popular in France. T F
3. When you send a Valentine’s Day card you do not sign your name. T F

5. Valentine’s Day is the result of very clever marketing. T F
6. Valentine’s Day used to be less commercial. T F
Love is in the air...
Cards, email, phone calls...
How many cards are sent on (or before) Valentine’s Day? No-one knows exactly, of course, but
it is estimated that it is approximately 1 billion, making Valentine’s Day the second most popular
card-giving day (after Christmas, of course). Most are sent in the United States, the United
Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, Australia and France, but Valentine’s Day is becoming more popular
in other countries as well.
How did it all start?
The truth is, no-one really knows. There are many legends about Saint Valentine and at least
three candidates who could claim to be him. The most popular legend is that Valentine was a
priest in Rome in the third century who performed marriages even though the Roman Emperor,
Claudius, had banned them because he thought married men would not want to be soldiers; the
Emperor had him killed for his disobedience.
Valentine’s Day traditions
Sending valentine cards - anonymously, of course, and signed simply lFrom Your Valentine’ - is
the most popular tradition. Flowers, chocolates and presents of all kinds are also given on
Valentine’s Day. Apart from giving presents, there are many other traditions connected with
love, romance and the future. For example, how can you find out how many children you will
have? One way is to cut an apple in half; the number of pips you can see is the number of
children you will have. Perhaps you would like to know the name of the person you will marry?
Think of five or six possible names and recite them as you twist and apple around on its stem.
The name you say when the apple comes off its stem is the name of the person you will marry!
Around the world
In Sweden Valentine’s Day is called Alla hjärtans dag (All Heats’ Day) and is celebrated in the
same way. In Finland it is called Ystävänpäivä (Friends’ Day) and is less of a romantic day and
more about remembering your friends. In Japan, Valentine’s Day is celebrated by women giving
chocolates to men; there is another day (White Day, March 14th) for men to give presents to
women.
Romance and love, or just great marketing?
129
Tananyagfejlesztés: Angol nyelv
Valentine’s Day is very popular and is becoming more and more popular. But how far is this a
real tradition? The answer, unfortunately, is not very romantic at all: Valentine’s Day was
popularised by card producers, the diamond industry and flower farmers. In many countries,
such as those in the preceding section, there is no local Valentine’s Day tradition - in Sweden
and Japan, for example, the first Valentine’s Days date from the 1960s. In short, Valentine’s
Day has always been more about making money than love - and there is no denying how
successful it has been and, doubtless, it will continue to be in the future.
Below are some ideas for romantic gifts. Which do you think are most romantic? Which are least
romantic?
o Sending your Valentine a huge bouquet of flowers (perhaps roses).
o Taking your Valentine shopping and letting them choose whatever they like.
o Buying your Valentine some chocolates.
o Leaving one red rose for your Valentine to find.
o Arranging for a singing telegram to surprise your Valentine.
o Buying and sending an anonymous Valentine’s Day card.
o Taking your Valentine to an expensive restaurant.
o Taking your Valentine to the cinema.

7. Reality Television
Reality television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted
dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather
than professional actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or "heightened"
documentary. Although the genre has existed in some form or another since the early years of
television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from game or quiz
shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the
1980s and 1990s (a modern example is Gaki no tsukai), to surveillance- or voyeurism- focused
productions such as Big Brother.
Critics say that the term "reality television" is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows
frequently portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic
locations or abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen
handlers, and with events on screen manipulated through editing and other post-production
techniques.
Part of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary
situations. For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen
women simultaneously, travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales. Reality television
also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and
performance programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother
participants also reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an inaccurate description for
several styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big
Brother and Survivor, and other special-living-environment shows like The Real World, the
producers design the format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the
environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition plays out.
Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges,
events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator of
Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word "reality"
to describe his shows; he has said, "I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is
unscripted drama."

8. National Music and Dances in Scotland
The national music of Scotland is the music of bagpipes. Not everybody likes the music of the
bagpipes. Scottish music is often dance-music. Sometimes it is played on the violin instead of

English. Glasgow has more dancing schools than any European cities.
Scottish dancing is fun, and a lot of people enjoy it. There are difficult ones which are for only
one or two people. Another well-known dance is the Highland Fling. This is a dance for only one
person.

9. Edison’s inventions
Thomas Edison's most famous invention is probably the light-bulb; his favourite though was the
phonograph. The phonograph, he said, would replace shorthand typists and it would be used to
teach languages. He believed that the phonograph and a clock could be used together so that
the clock would actually say what the time was. He thought that people would send
phonographic records instead of letters and that they would record the voices of their children
and the last words of the dying. Edison also believed that people would listen to world- famous
musicians on phonograph in their own homes.
People have forgotten many strange nineteenth century inventions. They have largely forgotten
Edison's phonograph, too, but it vas actually an early kind of record or cassette player. So, also
we don't use phonographs any more, Edison was right - in a way - about his strange nineteenth
century invention.
Answer the questions in Hungarian.
1. Mit talált fel Edison?
2. Mit akart helyettesíteni vele?
3. Hogyan látta találmánya jövőbeni hasznosítását?
4. Minek az elődje volt a találmány?
10. Getting about by Taxi
You can find taxi ranks at railway stations and other convenient pick up
points, or you can stop a taxi in the street. When taxis are free to pick up a
customer, the words "Taxi" or "For Hire" are lit up in yellow on the front of
the cab.
You can also phone a taxi rank and ask for a taxi to come to your address.
Private hire cars may only be booked by telephone and may not pick up
passengers in the street. You can find the telephone numbers of taxi ranks
and minicab companies in Yellow Pages.
When you get into the cab the taxi driver will ask you "Where to?" and you simply give your
destination. A taxi fare is metered, that is the cost is shown on a display panel. When paying for
your journey it is not absolutely necessary to tip, it depends on how rich you feel. However, the
tip is usually 15% of the fare.
Match up the first halves of the sentences with the second halves.
A
B
