sytuacje - przykłady praktyczne

Język angielski - SYTUACJE PRAKTYCZNE



      Zarówno w życiu codziennym jak i na każdym egzaminie ważne jest, aby osiągnąć cel wypowiedzi na zadany temat, oraz aby stosować naturalne zwroty i wyrażenia angielskie. W sytuacji egzaminacyjnej osiągniesz wówczas dodatkowy cel nadrzędny jakim jest zaliczenie tegoż egzaminu.
      W związku z tym:
- zawsze zastanów się w jakiej sytuacji się znalazłeś, do kogo mówisz (styl formalny i nieformalny) i jakich zwrotów i wyrażeń powinieneś użyć;
- unikaj bezpośredniego tłumaczenia z polskiego na angielski;
- jeśli jesteś na egzaminie, nie bój się zmyślać, wysil wyobraźnię i umieść swoją   sytuację w jakimś kontekście (konkretna sytuacja, imiona rozmówców itd.);
- korzystaj ze swoich talentów aktorskich;
- nie mów o rzeczach nieistotnych dla danej sytuacji!

      Bądź pragmatykiem, czyli osobą zainteresowaną jedynie jak najszybszym osiągnięciem wyznaczonego celu!
      Aby uniknąć następujących wpadek:

[TO JEST ŹLE!:] Waiter, I please water. I want drink.
[Powinno być:] Excuse me! Could I have some water?

    B. Apple-pie is probably the best-known cake in the world. Here is a recipe for my favorite type of American apple-pie.

    You will need these ingredients first:

    for the pastry: half a pound of flour, a quarter of a teaspoon of salt, a quarter pound of butter, 4 tablespoons cold water and a little milk;

    for the filling: 2 pounds of cooking apples and a quarter pound of sugar

    So first you sieve the flour and salt into a large bowl..., cut the butter into small pieces..., add it to the bowl..., rub the butter into the flour with the tips of your fingers..., sprinkle the water all over the pastry mixture..., mix the pastry with your fingers until it forms little lumps..., then shape it into one large ball..., leave it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes..., set the oven to 220° C peel, core and slice the apples..., put the apples into an ovenproof pie dish, then add the sugar..., roll out the pastry..., make it 1inch bigger than the top of the pie dish..., wet the edges of the pie dish with water..., put the pastry on top of the apples..., push the edges of the pastry tightly against the edges of the pie dish..., brush the top of the pastry with a little milk..., make three small cuts in the center of the pastry..., bake at the center of the oven..., after 15 minutes turn the heat to 180° C and bake for 30 minutes more..., the pastry will be golden brown when the pie is ready...,
