Hi Jake,
Thanks for your message. Glad to hear you’re OK. Things are fine here too. Actually, they’re better than
fine. I applied for a couple of jobs over the summer holidays and I was offered both of them. One’s with
a nice family offering £9 an hour. The other one’s working evenings at a supermarket round the corner.
I didn’t really like the people there, but they’re offering £13.50 an hour, which is 50% more than the
other one. The money is important to me because I’d really like to buy a new phone, and you know how
expensive they are, but I’m not sure what to do. Anyway, I’ll get in touch again when I’ve made my mind
up.

Help wanted
Young person wanted to help a family in Hensington, near Westbury in the summer holidays.
2
We have two daughters aged 7 and 5 and need general help around the house with childcare,
cleaning, cooking, gardening, etc.
Hours 9–5 weekdays and some weekend work.
Call Laura on 01632 960145 or email at [email protected]
We will pay for your travel costs.
Tekst D
Jane: Hey, Maria, how are things? Have you had any news about that job you applied for?
Maria: Yeah, I got the job with that family in Hensington. Do you know them – Laura and Ben Marks?
Jane: Yes, of course. They live just down the street from us. They’re really nice. When do you start?
Maria: Right after the end of term. The only thing I’m worried about is how to get to your village.
I was offered a job in the supermarket that’s a two-minute walk from home, which would’ve been really easy.
What are the buses like?
Jane: Well, you have to get the bus to Standford, change there and get another bus to Hensington. It takes almost
an hour each way.
Maria: Oh, OK, well, at least it’s doable.

Cześć Niki,
mam nadzieję, że miło spędzasz wakacje. Ja jestem dość zajęta – pracuję teraz dla pewnej rodziny. Wszystko
dobrze się układa, dostaję 9 funtów za godzinę, co nie jest złą stawką, choć wcześniej zrezygnowałam z oferty
pracy w supermarkecie, gdzie proponowano dokładnie 5.4. _____________________________________ więcej.
Nie zdecydowałam się na tę ofertę, bo przeczytałam w gazecie, że najważniejsze w pracy nie są wynagrodzenie czy
godziny pracy, ale to, 5.5. _____________________________________. Muszę przyznać, że to prawda. Chociaż
moja droga do pracy jest znacznie 5.6. _____________________________________ niż byłaby do supermarketu,
nie jest to dla mnie problem – mama w tej rodzinie jest bardzo miła, a moja koleżanka Jane mieszka 5.7.
_____________________________________, więc czasem odwiedzam ją po pracy.
Do usłyszenia! Maria

B, C albo D.
‘You don’t often hear people saying they are bad at history or English,’ says Harriet Jones, ‘but people from eight
to 80 are happy to say that they are bad at maths. And even worse, the people who are listening will often agree. It
has become almost normal, almost OK to be bad at maths. But that’s not OK, and we have to do something about
it.’ And so, Harriet is trying to get people to feel more positive about maths by writing books, giving talks and
visiting schools.
Harriet herself is convinced that maths is by far the most important school subject. It changes the way your brain
works and makes you cleverer, and that lasts a lifetime. And of course, it has practical uses, such as when you are
out shopping or deciding how to pay for a holiday. It can also be fun, almost like a game, and many people say that
when you really understand maths, the world becomes a more wonderful place.
Studies show that most children under the age of eleven are still excited by maths. At secondary school,
particularly at around the age of fifteen or sixteen, many students – and girls far more than boys – begin to lose
interest. ‘This is really terrible,’ says Harriet, ‘because it can have effects that last a long time. If you don’t
understand maths, your chances of getting a well-paid job in a bank are almost zero. You will never be an engineer
or an architect, you shut down a lot of possibilities. And the final problem is that parents who don’t like maths will
pass that message on to their children.’
Speaking for myself, I know that almost happened to me when I was fifteen and at an all-girls school in England. I
hated maths lessons and could never do my homework. Nobody else liked maths either, and the reason was that
our teacher wasn’t able to explain anything properly. Luckily for me, she moved to a new school after my first
term with her, and the difference was amazing. Maths with our new teacher was fun, everything suddenly became
clear and everyone in the class loved our lessons.
There may not be one simple answer, but it cannot be right that we allow so many young people to stop studying
maths and do such damage to their future. The government needs to do more, teachers need to do more, and
parents need to do more! If they can do it in other countries, then we can do it here. The time has come to stop
making excuses and to start repairing a system that is broken.

6.1. What does Harriet want to do about the problem of maths?
A. She wants to show people how easy maths is.
B. She wants to concentrate on helping older people.
C. She wants schools to use different books.
D. She wants to change attitudes towards maths.
6.4. According to the writer, what happened when her new teacher came?
A. She found it easier to understand maths.
B. The students in her class students behaved better.
C. She was given less homework to do.
D. Her parents sent her to a different school.
6.5. The last paragraph of the article shows that the writer feels
A. confused.
B. angry.
C. discouraged.
D. anxious.

THE MEMORY MAN
After a big bank robbery in Birmingham, England in October 2020, the police were getting a lot of criticism from
the media and from politicians. They had not found any of the stolen money, and, worse, they had no idea who the
criminals were.
The men who carried out the robbery had been very careful. They had worn gloves, so they had left no fingerprints
behind. 7.1. ____ So the only real clue that was left was a short bit of film from a security camera.
Mike Spence, the detective in charge of the case remembered hearing about Sergeant Peter Dixon, who worked at
London’s Scotland Yard. He was one of a very unusual group of people called ‘superrecognisers’. 7.2. ____ It is
that they never forget a face, and can recognise and remember someone even after many years.
Spence invited Dixon to come to Birmingham and look at the film from the security camera. Dixon watched the
film again and again, and then he seemed to remember something. 7.3. ____ Even though he couldn’t see their
faces clearly, he suggested two names.
Incredibly, Dixon provided the police with the correct identities of the two bank robbers. They had been in trouble
with the police five years earlier, when they were teenagers. 7.4. ____ Somehow he had managed to remember
them, and the two men were soon arrested and eventually sent to prison.
A. At the time, he had seen a video of them stealing some clothes from a shop.
B. The men looked familiar to him because of the way they walked.
C. There are only a few of them in the world and they have an amazing ability.
D. He had been there before, and returned to do the same thing again.
E. Moreover, they had escaped in a stolen car, which they burned afterwards.
