UNUSUAL HOMES
4.1
A radio DJ’s house is a popular landmark in the coastal area he lives in. The DJ had an artist install a 7.5 metre
sculpture of a whale crashing into his room. If you want to find out why he decided to do that, we suggest you
tune in to his radio station. He often talks about it on air.
4.2
This house is a lesson in how to make use of every single square centimetre of space. The person who lives
there – and there’s only room for one person – has to do that because this house is incredibly small. It’s only
about 150 cm wide, in fact. The designer had to fit it into a tight space between two other houses.
4.3
A city’s clock towers naturally attract attention from below with their dominating height. This one is no
exception, besides the fact that behind the clock there is also a living space. It’s an expensive, spacious, luxury
apartment and, fortunately for the homeowners, the clock is silent. At the same time, they can look at their
native New York City from all the sides.
4.4
Be careful when you take a shower in this house: the walls are made entirely of glass! A Japanese architect
decided to ignore privacy when he designed the house. He was thinking instead about the positive effect
that people get when they can see the Sun and the sky all day long.

ZADANIE 5
Przeczytaj cztery teksty (A–D) na temat zajęć plastycznych. Wykonaj zadania 5.1.–5.7. zgodnie
z poleceniami.
Tekst A
We make every effort to encourage young people to experiment with all available materials. However, they
must read all the safety instructions very carefully to avoid hurting themselves or others.
Some painting materials, in particular, contain harmful chemicals which must not be in contact with the skin.
Some materials and tools are clearly marked with a ‘danger’ symbol. Art students who wish to use one of these
should request a safety demonstration.

Tekst B
From: Jane Hargreaves
To: Jack Smith
Subject: Exciting opportunity!
Dear art enthusiasts,
I’m really happy with the way the art club has started this year. You’ve all made a good start. I’m really pleased
with the projects you’ve chosen to work on.
That’s why I wanted to tell you about an interesting opportunity. The town council would like to display some
of your work in their public spaces. In some cases, there will be a modest payment to yourself or a charity
of your choice. However, in these cases, the art needs to be about a certain theme.
Please let me know if you’re interested during our next meeting, where I’ll present the themes and answer
any further questions.
Jane

Tekst C

Gavin: @Gail @Susan How are you guys getting on? I’m still a bit stuck.
Susan: I’ve got a couple ideas, but I haven’t decided on one yet.
Gail: @Gavin @Susan I’ve already got mine. I already started working on it in our last workshop.
Gavin: I remember, those witches, they’re really cool.
Gail: @Gavin If you like them, you could use witches too, or some other fantasy figures. You like fantasy
games, right?
Gavin: Yeah, but I don’t think my drawing technique is good enough.
Susan: @Gavin That’s a good point. I think you should think about what you’re good at as an artist. I know
you’re good at technical drawing. Your lines are clean.
Gail: @Gavin I agree, and you can start with a subject that may even seem boring at first, but then you
can really bring it to life with your art and make people see it in a new way.

Hi Bruce,
I have to tell you that this new art club thing is working out really well. I’m halfway through my project, which is
a kind of futuristic car. I think the 5.4 _________________________, which organises the club together with
the school, would like to show it in the transport museum when it’s finished. I’m so pleased!
The beginning wasn’t easy though. I had to start by choosing 5.5 _________________________. I couldn’t do
that for a while, but a couple of friends helped me. Then we all had to read the
5.6 _________________________ before using some of the materials. I just wanted to get down to work, but I
guess it’s best to be safe.
I know you weren’t interested in doing it this time though I’m sure they’ll run it again after this course finishes.
You just need to sign up at the 5.7 _________________________ to make sure you’re on the list.
All the best,
Gavin

ZADANIE 6
Przeczytaj tekst. Z podanych odpowiedzi wybierz właściwą, zgodną z treścią tekstu. Zakreśl jedną z liter
A, B, C lub D.
Commuters on some London train routes can take advantage of an opportunity to catch up on their reading.
After you enter one of the local stations, you will find rows of shelves with paperback books on them. These
bookcases are located in a convenient space, usually quite near the ticket turnstiles, ticket service counters or
refreshment dispensers. You’re free to have a look through, and if you see a book you like, you can pick it up
and take it with you on the train.
You might think that after a while there wouldn’t be many good books left. But you’d be wrong. The idea is that
passengers leave their books there too. They are encouraged to replace a book they’ve already read, and they
often do. It’s a bit like a lending library except that nobody’s checking! Local residents and sometimes
businesses also bring in whole boxes of books and donate them.
This all got started thanks to the initiative of a local rail employee. He arrived at his idea thanks to what he
noticed about another type of reading matter: a newspaper. All travellers in London know that a free
newspaper is provided, The London Evening Standard. Just like the books, anyone is free to pick up their copy
of the newspaper and take it along with them. Whole stacks of London Evening Standards stand in wait for
commuters.
Coming back to our local rail employee, part of his work involved keeping the station tidy. Day after day, he
found himself tidying up newspapers that people had just left on the ground or stuffed into overflowing bins.
Perhaps the fact that there were so many copies available in the first place encouraged people to be so
wasteful, who knows? But the railway worker didn’t like to see all this waste, not to mention all the tidying he
had to do.
That’s when the idea occurred to him. He got a cheap wooden bookcase from a local second-hand shop and
dragged it down to the station. He also experimented by leaving a couple of old chairs too, but hardly anyone
sat on them, so he took them away. He collected a few paperbacks and stacked the shelves to get it started.
Then he attached a note explaining how the service worked and asking people to take, and give, as they
pleased.
Of course, he needed permission from the London Rail Authority for this, but they were pleased to give it.
The idea took root and now more stations play host to this informal lending service. As a result of one person’s
enterprise, we have better-read Londoners and stations which are a bit tidier and less wasteful!

6.1. The first paragraph in the text

A advises passengers to read during train travel.
B reminds people to buy a ticket.
C explains how a service works.
D gives instructions on what to do in train stations.

6.2. The book lending service works effectively because

A passengers don’t use it responsibly.
B the station employees make sure there are always books on the shelves.
C people put a book on the shelf whenever they take one.
D rail employees spend a lot of time organising it.

6.3. What is the main reason why a rail employee decided to start the library?
A He was looking for a more interesting task in his job.
B He was frustrated by one of the tasks he had to do.
C He wanted to give travellers more reading choices.
D He thought that reading would make people think more about waste.

6.4. Which of the following did the rail employee not do to start the library?
A Advertise in local businesses.
B Bring furniture to the station.
C Contribute reading material.
D Display instructions for use.
