Amikor ezt a beköszöntőt írom, még nagyon hideg van és a hó is térdig ér, de remélhetőleg mire a kezedbe veszed ezt az újságot, már enyhül valamelyest az idő, hiszen már a márciusi számnál tartunk! Annál a márciusi számnál, amelynek a címlapján te is megtalálhatod magad, ha küldtél képet felhívásunkra. Remélem, hogy tetszik az alkotásunk! Ebben a hónapban két fő téma vonul végig a magazinon: a közösségi oldalak népszerűsége és a lovaglás (mármint külön-külön ). Ide fogjuk kapcsolni azt is például, hogy mit kell tudni a manapság nagyon népszerű Social Networking Site-okról (pl. Facebook, Twitter, stb.), és megtanuljuk ezek angol nyelvű használatához szükséges legfontosabb szavakat, kifejezéseket. Tudomány és technika rovatunkból pedig kiderül, hogy milyen mobilokkal tudunk „fészbúkolni” meg „twitterezni”, hogy akkor se maradjunk le semmiről, ha éppen nem ülünk számítógép előtt. Ami pedig a lovakat illeti: a lovaglással meg lovakkal kapcsolatos szókincs mellett találsz cikket a lóversenyekről és a lóversenyek divatjáról. Mindezeken túl még egy lovasidióma-gyűjteményt is készítettünk neked. A lovas képekért pedig itt szeretnék köszönetet mondani a Sóskúti Lovassport Klubnak és Süsü lónak! www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március Két nagyon-nagy újdonsággal is jelentkezem márciustól! Rengetegen kértétek, hogy legyen a szószedeteknél fonetikus írás is, így – bár én inkább a helyes kiejtés meghallgatása és utánzása híve vagyok – mostantól ezt is megtalálod a cikkek végén. A másik újdonság pedig az, hogy a Szakértő válaszol rovatot próbaképpen – szintén sokak kívánságára – gyerekangolra cseréltük. Ez a terület még nekem is újdonság, de remélem, hogy tetszeni fog az ifjú és az idősebb olvasóknak is. Ezeket a kicsiknek szóló leckéket 2-10 év közötti gyermekeknek terveztük. Az olvasni nem tudó gyermekek szüleinek, illetve óvodai/iskolai használathoz szülői/tanári útmutatót is mellékeltünk. Ezeket, a leckéhez tartozó audiókkal együtt, a weboldalról lehet letölteni! Természetesen ebből a számból sem maradhatnak el az írásbeli, szóbeli nyelvvizsgára felkészítő anyagok és a Business Eng lish rovat sem. Jó tanulást!

A social network service focuses on building and reflecting of social networks or social relations among people, who share interests or activities, or belong to the same religion or share the same political views. Although social networking is possible in person, especially in the workplace, universities, and high schools, it is most popular online. This is because unlike most high schools, colleges, or workplaces, the internet is filled with millions of individuals who are looking to meet other people, to gather and share information and experiences about any number of topics. Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users. They essentially consist of a representation of each user (often a profile), his/her social links, and a variety of additional services. Most social network services are web-based and provide means for users to interact over the internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging. So, once you are granted access to a social networking website, you can begin to socialize. This socialization may include reading the profile pages of other members and possibly even contacting them. The friends you can make are just one of the many benefits of social networking online. Another of those benefits include diversity as the internet gives individuals from all around the world access to social networking sites. In this way, even if you are in Hungary, you can develop an online friendship with someone in Germany. Not only will you make new friends, but you just might learn a thing or two about new cultures or new languages and learning is always a good thing. Once you are well informed and comfortable with your findings, you can begin your 6 Everything you want to know about social networking sites search from hundreds of networking communities to join. The main types of social networking services are those which contain category places (such as former school-year or classmates), means to connect with friends (usually with self-description pages) and a recommendation system linked to trust. Popular methods now combine many of these, with Facebook, Bebo and Twitter widely used throughout the world; MySpace and LinkedIn being the most widely used in North America;[1] Nexopia (mostly in Canada);[2] Bebo,[3] Hi5, StudiVZ (mostly in Germa- ny), iWiW (mostly in Hungary), Tuenti (mostly in Spain), Decayenne, Tagged, XING;[4], Badoo[5] and Skyrock in parts of Europe;[6] Orkut and Hi5 in South America and Central America;[7] and Friendster, Mixi, Multiply, Orkut, Wretch, Xiaonei and Cyworld in Asia and the Pacific Islands and Orkut and Facebook in India. There have been some attempts to standardize these services to avoid the need to duplicate entries of friends and interests (see the FOAF standard and the Open Source Initiative), but this has led to some concerns about privacy. www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március The most popular social networking sites in Hungary iWiW www.iwiw.hu It is a Hungarian social networking web service, started on April 14, 2002 as WiW (Who Is Who). For Hungarians it is the best place for a member to be in touch with their friends. Users can make a profile by giving personal information like date of birth, place they www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március are living in, names of schools and university. Users can write about interests and mention if they like pets or not. Users of iWiW can even find people with similar interests and be friends with them. It could also emerge as an effective communication medium across platforms other than the internet. MyVIP www.myvip.hu MyVIP is a Hungarian site, too. It was created to pro- vide an online space where members can get together, in order to have conversations. That is how you will be able to chat with people who have common fields of interests. If you use this online resource you can expand your assortment of contacts. This seems to be a very effective way to make new friends, in addition to finding your old friends no matter where they are. myVIP is an exclusive website that is constantly growing, and you can become a member only if you receive an invitation from an existing member. This could be a good opportunity for you to make new friends. 7 ebben a hónapban this month Facebook www.facebook.hu Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites in the World. It allows you to add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves.

A social networking site (such as MySpace) can employ more than 1000 workers. MySpace is available in 15 languages. The advantages of MySpace include the ability to upload and share video, audio and image files as well as a blog. But blogging is not the main business of MySpace, MySpace’s central focus is social networking. Twitter www.twitter.com It is a free social networking and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers who are known as followers. LinkedIn www.linkedin.com LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking site. Founded in December 2002 and launched in May 2003, it is mainly used for professional networking. As of January 2010, LinkedIn had more than 55 million registered users, spanning more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. LinkedIn has more than 55 million users worldwide, of which approximately half are in the United States. 11 million are from Europe. With 3 million users, India is the fastest-growing country as of 2009. The Netherlands has the highest adoption rate per capita, outside of the United States, at 30%. The purpose of the site is to allow registered users to maintain a list of contact details of people they know and trust in business. The people in the list are called Connections. Users can invite anyone (whether a site user or not) to become a connection. www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március Did you know about Twitter? Ashton Kutcher beat CNN in Twitter followers. The 31-year-old actor became the first Twitter user to garner more than 1 million followers. Aston was in a race with CNN’s breaking news feed, to become the first „Twitter millionaire”. Kutcher and his wife, Demi Moore erupted in cheers as his account topped the mark, and he popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate. His main rival, CNN's breaking news feed, broke the million barrier half an hour later. Kutcher had promised to donate 10,000 mosquito nets to charity if he won. But not all his online comments have been so high-minded; in March, he posted a picture of his wife Demi Moore's bottom on the site. Now they are officially the first Twitter celeb couple. glossary to gather [tu ˈɡæðə] in race with … [ɪn reɪs wɪð] breaking news [ˈbreɪkɪŋ njuːz] to erupt [tə ɪˈrʌpt] to top the mark [tu tɒp ðə mɑːk] to pop a bottle of champage [tu pɒp ə ˈbɒtl̩ əv ʃæmˈpeɪn] rival [ˈraɪvəl] high-minded [haɪ ˈmaɪndɪd] FACEBOOK VOCABULARY View my profile Messages Events Photos Friends Applications Games Groups Friends online Friend requests Notifications News feed Top news Home Edit friends Account setting Privacy settings Application settings Credit blance Help center Log out Wall Info Comments Adatlap megtekintése Üzenetek Események Fényképek Ismerősök Alkalmazások Játékok Csoportok Online ismerősök Ismerősnek jelöltek Értesítések Hírek Legfrisebb Kezdőlap Ismerősök kezelése Fiókbeállítások Adatvédelmi beállítások Alkalmazások beállításai Kredit Súgóközpont Kijelentkezés Üzenőfal Adatok Hozzászólások www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március View photo comments Post album to profile Keep me logged in Forgot your password?

Természetesen nem csak emiatt fontos tudnunk angolul is beszélni erről a témáról, hiszen számos esetben előfordulhat, hogy külföldi ismerős vagy akár egy turista megkérdezi tőlünk, hogy mit ünnepelünk március idusán. The Revolution started on March 15th in 1848, with bloodless events in Pest and Buda, followed by various insurrections throughout the kingdom, which enabled Hungarian reformists to declare Hungary's new government and the first Prime Minister of Hungary, Lajos Batthyány. The new government approved a sweeping reform package, referred to as the "April laws" (also referred to as the "March Laws"), which essentially created a democratic political system in Hungary. They also demanded that the Hungarian government receive and expend all taxes raised in Hungary, and have authority over Hungarian regiments in the Habsburg army. 10 On March 15th we commemorate the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence of 1848-1849. This is also a public holiday in Hungary. The Hungarian Revolution of 1848 was one of many revolutions that year and closely linked to other revolutions of 1848 in Habsburg areas. The revolution in the Kingdom of Hungary grew into a war for independence from Habsburg rule. Many of its leaders and participants, including Lajos Kossuth, István Széchenyi, Sándor Petőfi and József Bem, are among the most respected national figures in Hungarian history, and the anniversary of the revolution's outbreak, on March 15, is one of Hungary's three national holidays. In the summer of 1848, aware that they were on the path to civil war, the Hungarian government ministers attempted to gain Habsburg support against Conservative Josip Jelačić. By the end of August, the imperial government in Vienna officially ordered the Hungarian government in Pest to end plans for a Hungarian army. Jelačić then took military action against the Hungarian government without any official order. War between Austria and Hungary had officially begun. Initially, the Hungarian forces (Honvédség) achieved several victories fighting against Austrian armies (at Pákozd in September 1848 and at Isaszeg in April 1849). The war led to the October Crisis in Vienna, when insurgents attacked a garrison on its way to Hungary to support Jelačić's forces. After Vienna was recaptured by imperial forces, General Windischgrätz and 70 000 troops were sent to Hungary to crush the last challenge to the Austrian Empire. Julius Jacob von Haynau, the leader of the Austrian army who then became governor of Hungary for a few months of retribution, ordered the execution of 13 leaders of the Hungarian army in Arad and the Prime minister Batthyány in Pest. www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március COCKADE – KOKÁRDA Definition according to LONGMAN ONLNE DICTIONARY: A cockade is a knot of ribbons, or other circular- or oval-shaped symbol of distinctive colors which is usually worn on a hat, used to show rank, membership of a club, etc. 1848. március 15-én a pesti forradalom estéjén a Bánk Bán előadásán Jókai Mór szónokolt a színpadon, amire így emlékezett vissza egy későbbi írásában: „Látjátok ezt a háromszínű kokárdát itt a mellemen? Ez legyen a mai dicső nap jelvénye. Ezt viselje minden ember, ki a szabadság harcosa; ez különböztessen meg bennünket a rabszolgaság zsoldoshadától. E három szín képviseli a három szent szót: szabadság, egyenlőség, testvériség. Ezt tűzzük kebleinkre mindannyian, kikben magyar vér és szabad szellem lángol! Ez aztán fordított a dolgon. A háromszínű kokárda helyreállítá a rendet. Aki háromszínű kokárdát akart feltűzni, annak előbb haza kellett menni. Tíz perc múlva a színház üres volt. És másnap minden embernek ott volt a mellén a háromszínű kokárda; a Nemzeti Kaszinó urainak paletot-ján kezdve, a napszámos darócáig, s aki köpönyegben járt, az a kalapjára tűzte.” Jókai Mór: Az a nő, aki együtt jön velem glossary participant [pɑːˈtɪsɪpənt] résztvevő Sándor Petőfi (1 Janrespected [rɪˈspektɪd] tiszteletben tartott uary 1823 – most likely DID outbreak [ˈaʊtbreɪk] kitörés 31 July 1849), is one YOU KNOW? bloodless [ˈblʌdləs] vérnélküli of the greatest Hunga „Külföldön Petőfi a insurrection [ˌɪnsəˈrekʃn̩] felkelés, lázadás rian poets.

The plant appears to have been imported to Europe by travelers, and quickly became entrenched in European cuisine. Nowadays it continues to play a strong supporting role in many European desserts and preserves. Rhubarb, the fruity vegetable Rhubarb facts Rhubarb is also known as pieplant. It has a tart flavor and bright color. Rhubarb is an intensely sour vegetable, and is popular with many people in a cooked and heavily sweetened form as part of a dessert. Traditionally, rhubarb is paired with things like strawberries or ginger, and abundantly sweetened. The result is a tart, sweet, distinctive flavor. What to look for: Thin, red, crisp stalks have the best texture. If stalks are floppy, it indicates they were picked too long ago. How to store: Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Don't forget! Only the stalks of rhubarb are edible. The leaves are potentially toxic to both humans and animals. glossary rhubarb [rúbɑ̀rb] fruity [frúti] archaeological [ɑ̀rkiəlɑ́dʒɪkəl] evidence [ɛ́vədəns] to suggest [tú səgdʒɛ́st] medicinally [mədɪ́sənəli] to be imported to … [tú bí ɪ̀mpɔ́rtəd tú] entrenched [ɛntrɛ́ntʃt] cuisine [kwɪ̀zín] to play a role in … [tú plé ə ról ɪn] preserve [prəzə́rv] tart [tɑ́rt] flavor [flévər] sweetened [swítənd] paired with … [pɛ́rd wɪθ] ginger [dʒɪ́ndʒər] abundantly [əbə́ndəntli] distinctive [dɪ̀stɪ́ŋktɪv] crisp [krɪ́sp] stalk [stɒ́k] texture [tɛ́kstʃər] floppy [flɑ́pi] to wrap in plastic [tú rǽp ɪn plǽstɪk] to toss [tú tɒ́s] 12 rebarbara gyümölcsös régészeti bizonyíték javasol, sejtet orvosilag, gyógyászatilag importálva van megkövesedett (szokás pl.) konyhaművészet szerepet játszik befőtt fanyar íz édesített párosítva …-tal gyömbér bőségesen megkülönböztető ropogós szár (növénynek) szerkezet, állag laza, petyhüdt fóliába csomagolni megszór How to cook: Because it's so tart, rhubarb should always be cooked with a sweetener.

Mystery beast terrified kids Terrified locals in a South American town are running scared after a strange creature they describe as "Gollum" crawled out of a lake and charged schoolkids. The beast — which has "sparked fear and confusion" in the small town of Cerro Azul, Panama — was spotted on Saturday when four 14 to 16-year-olds were playing by the waterfront. According to their account, reported by Panamanian news service Telemetro, the youngsters "screamed" when the five-foot creature emerged from a cave and started clamouring over rocks towards them "as if to attack them". In a "desperate bid to defend themselves" the four terrified boys said they hurled rocks 14 at the strange creature to kill it, before throwing its corpse in the water and running away. Their disbelieving parents returned to the lake the following day — and were stunned to discovered the beast's body washed up on the shore. Experts have yet to examine the images — or make any statements regarding their discovery. But one of the locals told Panama news channel: "I have only seen that creature once before — and it was in the Tolkien film." The fictional Gollum — originally known as Smeagol — was a hobbit whose later name was derived from the "disgusting gurgling, choking cough he made". to crawl [krɒl] kúszik, mászik to charge [tʃɑrdʒ] támadni to spot [spɑt] megpillant to emerge [ɪmərdʒ] kiemelkedik to clamour [klæmər]lármázik, zajt csap to hurl [hərl] hajít Smeagol hobbit, fél szerzet, babó to gurgle [gərgəl] gagyog choking cough folytogató [tʃokɪŋ kɑf] köhögés source: www.thesun.co.uk www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március Elephants trained to play basketball Elephants in Thailand are being trained to play basketball, as part of an innovative regime introduced by their carers. The Island Safari Centre on Koh Samui is teaching six-year old Malie, and nine-year old Toktak to use their trunks to perform basketball skills, in an effort to improve their health and vitality. Organisers at the centre, which cares for the animals, say that they undergo rigorous training in order to learn the basics of the game. “It takes two or three months of intensive training to teach them basics, but fortunately their standards are improving with each passing day”, said organiser Ning. The keepers begin by teaching the elephants basic ball control skills, and how to hold the ball in their trunk. The animals are then taught to stand on their hind legs, walk with the ball and finally shoot it through the hoop. Visitors to the centre described the game as “unbelievable”, with one onlooker saying, “I had never seen an elephant playing basketball.” carer [kɛrər] vitality [vajtæləti] rigorous [rɪgərəs] gondozó életerő, vitalitás kemény, szigorú hind [hajnd] hátsó, hátulsó hoop [hup] karika, átv kosár onlooker [ɒnlʊkər] nézelődő, szemlélő source: www.telegraph.co.uk Man kidnaps teenager for throwing snowball A man angry about teenagers who had thrown a snowball at his car may have over-reacted slightly — and now faces charges after he pulled a knife and kidnapped one of them. 25-year-old Joshua Good, of Ansonia, Connecticut, was angered when his car got caught in the snowball crossfire as the group of teenagers had a snowball fight nearby. Instead of, for example, ignoring it, or maybe shouting angrily, police say he decided instead to threaten the youths with a knife. He then forced one of them, a 13-year-old boy, into his car, and drove off. Fortunately for everyone concerned, nobody was actually hurt in the incident — according to authorities, Good simply drove the 13-year-old home unharmed. Nonetheless, Good is now facing charges including first-degree kidnapping, threatening and reckless endangerment, which could see him given up to a 25-year prison sentence. source: metro.co.uk crossfire [krɒsfɑjr] concerned [kənsərnd] reckless endangerment [rɛkləs ɛndendʒərmənt] www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március kereszttűz érintett gondatlan veszélyeztetés 15 celeb hírek celeb files level: all levels minden szintnek celeb files Ebben a rovatban mindamellett, hogy aktuális bulvár híreket és paparazzi képeket találsz, a felvételek alapján még a szóbeli vizsgákon előforduló képleírást is gyakorolhatod!

The word „hippo” comes from Greece, it means: horse. Hippotherapy is a kind of curing in which the horse is a „living medicine”. It is a good therapy in cases of movement-function problems or locomotor disorders. The patient mostly rides at a walking-pace. Unlike in therapeutic horseback riding, where specific riding skills are taught, in hippotherapy the movement of the horse is a means to a treatment goal.

Equestrian Sports by Raymond Mc Manus Horse Racing – Turf and Harness Racing Horse racing is a multi million pound industry where horses can be bought and sold for very high prices. It is also at the heart of a very profitable gambling industry. People can gamble on course, in bookmaker shops or online. It is sometimes called the sport of kings. The turf (lóverseny) is a speed race on a track where jockeys ride horses, usually at a gallop, while harness racing (fogathajtás) is a speed race on a track for trotters or standardbred pacers harnessed to sulkies.

They are run jockey [dʒɑ́ki] zsoké, lovas www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március over many distances and courses. A course is another name for a race track. The biggest race in England takes place at the Aintree course in Liverpool. The race was first run in 1836. Nowadays it is one of the most important events on the British sporting calendar. The race will take place this year on the 10th of April. The race is run over 7km and involves the horses jumping 30 fences; some are about 2 metres high. About forty horses usually take part in this race. Last year the winner was Mon Mome who won at a 100/1, which means if you bet 100 forints on him to win you would win 100,000 forints! This is one of the biggest betting events of the year and nearly everyone likes to have a gamble, but just for fun!

That means 43 percent of global mobile web users will regularly keep in touch with others through social networking sites using a mobile device. Facebook for iPhone Facebook for iPhone is currently the most popular social-networking application on the App Store, which says as much about the 90 million active users on Facebook as it does about the iPhone appliance. What the Facebook application doesn’t do is let you search for or invite new friends, nor does it let you accept friend invitations from others. It also doesn’t show notifications, and can't access any Facebook application. In other words, the application is good for very specific interaction with your current network, but not expanding it. This version of Facebook has been optimized for the Apple iPhone, but it will also work with most Web browsers as an alternative Facebook interface. Mobile social networkers will grow to 56.2 million in the U.S. by 2013 – about 45 percent of the nation's mobile web user segment. The business information service, eMarketer anticipates mobile social networking will enjoy 46.8 percent CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) between 2008 and 2014, increasing from 76 million worldwide users to 760.1 million during that seven-year stretch – by 2014, 13.3 percent of all global mobile subscribers will access social media sites. "Combining two much-hyped, but still-emerging channels – mobile and social – results in a developing opportunity for marketers," said eMarketer senior analyst Noah Elkin in a prepared statement, adding that while location-based networks like Loopt and foursquare have not yet achieved critical mass, they are worth watching given that they work to link people, places and interests. Elkin notes that location-based services can also be used in other contexts to help marketers target social network users with relevant information and offers: "Location-aware branded applications and utilities that include a social component provide an avenue for marketers to engage their audience directly." source: www.fiercemobilecontent.com Twitter for mobile phones Although Twitter works great through SMS, there are a large number of mobile applications that let you save on SMS bills and get the best from Twitter on your phone and iPhone.

A British computer engineer has connected his house to Twitter. His house ’says’ through Twitter, that “the heater is working on the toilet” or “the temperature of the fitness center is cool.” Ultimately, he aims to reduce the cost of electricity to his residence. The system works through a network of a dozen sensors that Stanford-Clark installed in the house – in the power meter window and the bathroom, for example. Information from wireless sensors are recorded on a small chip that transmits radio signals to a central hub. Stanford-Clark has developed a program that transforms these signals into words. Since he started to monitor the use of electricity in his home, the engineer has already cut by one third the consumption of electricity in his house.

During the summer months, students from all over the world travel to Malta to study English and enjoy the great holiday atmosphere. Malta has something for everyone: Mediterranean climate, crystal clear sea, wonderful cafes and shops, exciting nightlife with parties and discos organised especially for international students. m Malta – The Best Place to Perfect glish n r E You alta is a small island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is located about 100 km south of Sicily and 300 km north of Tunisia. It is a member of the European Union and Maltese and English are the two official languages. The capital is Valletta and the currency is the Euro. There are three islands altogether, Malta – the biggest – is the centre of government, business and tourism. Gozo – the second biggest island – is more rural with fishing and agriculture being the main activities, but still a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the main island. The smallest island is Comino, which is uninhabited. Malta is a very historical island going back 7000 years. It has many ancient temples, some of which are the oldest in Europe. You can also see the influence of both the Greek and Roman cultures on the islands. St Paul was also shipwrecked here according to the Bible. The island is very beautiful and the climate warm and sunny, perfect for lazing on the beach and relaxing. The scenery is wonderful and the sea breezes refreshing. The sea is azure blue and clean, perfect for swimming and diving. There are some good walks and cycling is another good way to get around the island. There is great nightlife on the main island with lots of pubs, clubs and restaurants. The seafood in Malta is especially good and usually very fresh. You can also take a cruise around the islands. 30 www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március In 1814 Malta became part of the British Empire. It was an important link between Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. The ships would dock here on their long journeys to India and the Far East. British soldiers were stationed on the island until 1979. Malta became independent in 1964 but still had strong ties to Great Britain. In World War Two the island was awarded the St George cross for bravery, one of the highest military honours in the British army. This was because of the efforts of the people in defending the island against the Germans. You can still see the cross on the Maltese flag. Only two organisations have ever been awarded this honour. TRAVELLERS’ INFORMATION Maltese Islands are easily accessible by plane. Unfortunately there are no budget flights to the Islands, but Malta’s national airline, Air Malta offers flights at very reasonable prices, which are nearly as cheap as budget airlines. Visit their website at www.airmalta.com, you’ll find flights starting from as cheap as £89! When learning English in Malta, the best choice of accommodation is staying with a host family. When staying there as a tourist, you probably don’t want to adapt to a family. These websites can give you some ideas and information about various types of accommodation on the Maltese Islands. www.holidays-malta.com, www.maltahotel.net, www.hostelmania.com, www. maltabudget.com, www.heartofmalta.com glossary The strong ties to Britain mean that 90 percent of Maltese people speak English. This has led to a thriving English Language Teaching Industry. There are many language schools where you can learn English, catering to all levels, as well as specialist subjects like Business English. You can then practice your language skills amongst the natives. The advantage Malta has over the traditional native speaking countries like Ireland and the UK is the climate. You can combine a sunny seaside holiday while studying English, a perfect combination. This is much better than learning in rainy and noisy London!

From Walt Disney Pictures and visionary director Tim Burton comes an epic 3D fantasy adventure Alice in Wonderland, a magical and impressive twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time. Lewis Carroll's 'Alice In Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There', which first told the story of a young girl, who after following a rabbit down a hole, is transported to a strange world. Alice embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen's reign of terror. The all-star cast includes Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowskam, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Crispin Glover. Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast) wrote the screenplay. Johnny Depp stars as the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska as 19-year-old Alice, who returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter. The director, Tim Burton said these interesting words about the movie: “Making the movie was a challenge: to re-appropriate this classic of children’s literature. The dreamlike imagery remains in the mind long after one has finished reading it. My intention is to capture that imagery and transpose it onto a film. Alice in Wonderland (2010) Starring Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Michael Sheen, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Crispin Glover, Christopher Lee Written by Linda Woolverton (screenplay), Lewis Carroll (books) Directed by Tim Burton Music by Danny Elfman Genre Family & fantasy film Hungarian Opening Date: March 5th, 2010 34 Every character is weird, but I tried to give them their own specific weirdness so that they’re all different. I want to make a movie of Alice that’s more of a story than just a series of weird events.” This film marks the 7th time Johnny Depp has worked under the direction of Tim Burton. Johnny Depp worked hard to give the Mad Hatter more depth and presence than in past portrayals. In fact, the pair swapped sketches and themes for the character prior to creating this new version. Depp stated his experience was "A dream come true" and that the Mad Hatter is like "A mood ring, his emotions are very close to the surface". The creators’ goal was to conserve the essence of the story. It remains Carroll’s story, they only made it more cinematic. Capturing the wonder of Lewis Carroll's beloved Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871) with stunning, avant-garde visuals and the most charismatic characters in literary history, the „new” Alice in Wonderland comes to the big screen in Disney Digital 3D on March 4, 2010. www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március cd ajánló Johnny Cash: American VI: Ain't No Grave Lyrics from the album For the Good Times (Kris Kristofersson) (Verse 1) Don't look so sad, I know it's over. But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning. Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together. There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning. (Refrain) Lay your head upon my pillow. Hold your warm and tender body close to mine. Hear the whisper of the raindrops, Blowin' soft against the window, And make believe you love me one more time, For the good times. American VI: Ain’t No Grave scrapes together the final recordings of the late, indubitably great Man In Black, Johnny Cash. His wife once said: „To dismiss his music is to admit that you have no soul.” And maybe it’s the truth. (Verse 2) I'll get along; you'll find another, And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me. Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever, There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me. music Johnny Cash’s American VI: Ain’t No Grave, featuring the final recordings the Man in Black ever made before his death in September 2003, will be released on February 26th, the day that would have marked Cash’s 78th birthday. American VI is deeply elegiac and spiritual, with each song its own piece of the puzzle of life's mysteries and challenges – the pursuit of salvation, the importance of friendships, the dream of peace, the power of faith, and the joys that entail simple survival. It is an achingly personal and intimate statement, as, from the end of the line, Johnny Cash looks back on a most extraordinary life. The album’s eclectic mix of covers includes Sheryl Crow’s “Redemption Day,” Kris Kristofferson’s “For the Good Times,” Ed McCurdy’s “Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream” and Bob Nolan’s “Cool Water.” American VI will also feature the neverbefore-heard Cash original “I Corinthians: 15:55,” which he wrote during the last three years of his life. Cash began recording American VI in 2002 and worked up until his September 12th, 2003 death. Cash stuck with the project even after the death his wife, June Carter, in May 2003. “Johnny said that recording was his main reason for being alive. I think it was the only thing that kept him going,” Rick Rubin, American VI’s producer said in a statement. Guitarists Mike Campbell, Matt Sweeney, Jonny Polonsky and Smokey Hormel, and keyboardist Benmont Tench join Cash on American VI, and the Avett Brothers’ Seth and Scott contribute to the title song “Ain’t No Grave.” This title track speaks to the overall theme of the album – "Well there ain't no grave/Can hold my body down..." American VI may be his final album of new material. The Man in Black may no longer walk this Earthly realm, but through his music, thankfully, Johnny Cash is very much alive and well and living among us. Other famous albums: Scorpions: Sting in the Tail It’s the 17th studio album of the German heavy metal band. It will be their last album before retirement. Hungarian release date: March 22, 2010 www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március AC/DC: Iron Man 2 (soundtrack) The music really underscores the high energy and excitement of the film.

For whatever reason it would seem that every little thing you touch is turning into a massive issue and this is naturally making you very wary. Just don’t give in to it. Your true charisma is fully on show and it is attracting all sorts of attention. Impressive work offers may come your way and in-fact you may have decisions to make as to stay where you are or take a step into the unknown. Let the past go! You really don’t need to always be at everyones beck and call. There’s no-one to rescue, or any situation to sort out! Use your new found vitality for your own benefit now and discover the fun and pleasure you can get out of life for once. Taurus Virgo Capricorn 21.04–20.05 24.08–23.09 22.12–20.01 You’ve built a very fine reputation for being the steady, reliable one of the group. For once, throw caution to the wind! Show those close to you that you too have a mischievous streak, and like to be adventurous in matters of the heart. Although you believed you had it all carefully worked out things really don’t seem to have gone according to those plans. OK, take a step back, and look objectively at what went wrong and then go for it again with your new approach. Just when you think you have managed to put all the hurt from the past away, some little incident happens and brings it all gushing to the fore. But it’s time to explore new avenues with the knowledge that it really is going to get better now. Gemini Libra Aquarius 21.05–21.06 24.09–23.10 21.01–19.02 You are known for being “horizontal” when it comes to your reaction to issues that would normally get others all hot and bothered. However, you are feeling a real need to get things moving as you have been kicking your heels too long. Take a look at how others see you, not just as a person but the complete picture. You could benefit by developing a more upfront image although the inclination is to be laid-back. Try showing your self confidence rather than hiding it. Conquests in many areas of your life have been fought and won. You feel totally satisfied in all that’s been achieved now, not for the power it gives you, but rather for the sense of true professionalism. You feel on top of the world. Cancer Scorpio Pisces 22.06–22.07 24.10–22.11 20.02–20.03 Calm, collected and ready to meet any eventuality that’s you at the moment. Whilst those around you are struggling to get their lives in order, yours seems to have slotted perfectly into place. Soak up that adoration coming your way! Don’t for one moment think you have anything to be guilty about. You are harbouring silly feelings. Where has all that self-belief gone, any limitations are down to you only. So kick off the restraints and show them what your made of! You can be decisive when you need to be and surprisingly prac- tical too. Some get to where they want to be in one big step, others however, take many smaller steps. This is not always a bad thing as there’s more time to take in the view. 36 www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március rejtvény puzzler Puzzler 2 1 3 9 10 4 11 5 12 6 8 7 13 14 15 16 17 18 21 23 24 27 22 25 28 20 19 26 29 30 31 32 33 34 36 38 39 40 37 41 43 ACROSS 1.

Míg magyarul sokszor elég a hangsúllyal (írásban egy kérdőjellel) jelezni, hogy na ez itt most egy kérdés (és nem kijelentés vagy felkiáltás), addig az angol nyelvben a kérdésekhez nem csak hangsúlyt és írásjel jelzi a kérdést, hanem a szórend is. Ha angolul szeretnél egy kérdést feltenni, akkor kérdő szórendet kell használnod. Mielőtt belemélyednénk a kérdő szórend részletes taglalásába, ismerkedjünk meg néhány alapfogalommal. Kétfajta kérdéstípus létezik: 1. yes – no questions Az yes-no (azaz az igen-nem) kérdésre a válasz meglepő módon igen (yes) vagy nem (no). Az ilyen típusú kérdéseknél nincs kérdőszó, csak a kérdő szórendből derül ki, hogy ez itt egy kérdő mondat. mivel az ilyen típusú kérdések tartalmaznak kérdőszót is, és angolul a kérdőszavak (1 kivételével) ezzel a két betűvel kezdődnek. Wow! Tehát, az ilyen kérdésekben van kérdőszó, tehát igen-nem választ nem lehet ezekre adni. A WH-questions-ra (magyarul kérdőszavas kérdés) minimum egy szóval, de leginkább egy teljes mondattal kell válaszolni. (Kezdő nyelvtanulóknál örülünk az egy szónak is, hisz legalább értik a kérdést! ) Na nézzünk egy-két példát! Például: You are hungry. Éhes vagy. Are you hungry. Éhes vagy? Statement.Kijelentés QuestionKérdés Ahogy azt a példából is láthatod, magyarul az írásjel kivételével semmi különbség nincs a kérdő és a kijelentő mondat között, angolul pedig megváltozott a mondat szórendje: kijelentő szórendből kérdő szórend lett. Létezik tagadó yes-no kérdés is: Aren’t you hungry? Nem vagy éhes? Ebben az esetben is kérdő szórendet használunk (természetesen) és a segédigét tesszük (amivel kérdezünk) tagadó alakba. A kérdéseknek ezt a formáját (mármint a tagadó yes-no kérdéseket) akkor szoktuk használni, amikor a válaszadótól pozitív (azaz igenlő) választ várunk. 2. WH-questions (azaz a ’dáböljúédzs’ questions ) Először is tisztázzuk, hogy miért hívják így őket. WH-question a nevük, www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március WHO is this man? KI ez a férfi? WHAT is his name? MI a neve? WHERE is he from? HOVA valósi? WHY is he scared? MIÉRT fél? WHEN was he born? MIKOR született? He’s a secret agent. Egy titkosügynök. His name is Fox. Foxnak hívják. He’s from Canada. Kanadába valósi. I don’t know! Nem tudom! I have no idea! Ask him! Fogalmam sincs! Kérdezd meg tőle! KÉRDŐSZAVAK ANGOLUL Who? Ki? / Kik? / Kit? / Kiket? Whom? Kinek? / (Kit?) …és még sok más prepozícióval kombinálva What? Mi? / Mik? / Mit? / Miket? Where?Hol? When?Mikor? Ezeken felül van még egy WH szó, de ez nem kérdőszó (kérdést fog bevezetni majd függő beszédben, de még a jövő zenéje…): WHETHER. 41 havi nyelvtan this month's grammar Minden WH szó vezethet be kérdést, kivéve az előbb említett WHETHER: Who is that girl? Whom are you talking to? What is this? Where is the station? When is your birthday? Ki az a lány? Kihez beszélsz? Mi ez? Hol van az állomás? Mikor van a születésnapod? Minden WH szó vezethet be függő kérdést (indirect/reported question), a WHETHER is: He asked me who that girl was. Megkérdezte tőlem, hogy ki az a lány. She asked her whom he was talking to. Megkérdezte tőle, hogy kihez beszél. Can you tell me what this is? Meg tudod mondani, hogy mi ez? I wonder where the station is. Azt szeretném tudni, hogy hol van az állomás. He asked me when my birthday is. Megkérdezte, hogy mikor van a születésnapom. She asked the children which cake they preferred? Megkérdezte a gyerekeket, hogy melyik süti tetszik nekik jobban. TIPP: A segédigéket két csoportra oszthatjuk: 1. elsődleges segédigék (primary auxiliary verbs): BE, HAVE, DO 2. módbeli segédigék (secondary auxiliary verbs): WILL, WOULD, CAN, COULD, MAY, MIGHT, SHALL, SHOULD, MUST, (OUGHT TO, USED TO) A segédigéket (ahogy azt a nevük is mutatja) arra használjuk, hogy ’segítsenek nekünk’ kérdéseket és tagadó mondatokat csinálni. A segédigéknek három formája van: -s form (egyes szám harmadik személy), past tense (múlt idő) és past participle (ige harmadik alakja). segédige BE HAVE DO -s form is, isn’t has, hasn’t does, doesn’t Past tense was/were had did Ezzel szemben a módbeli segédigéknek csak egy formája van. Ugyanaz az alak egyes szám harmadik személyben is, nincs múlt idejű és harmadik alakjuk sem. mondatunkban.(Ugyanis ezekben az esetekben kell segédigét használunk a tagadáshoz és a kérdésfeltevéshez.) KÉRDŐSZÓREND Az előző fejezetből megtudtad, hogy egy sima kis kérdőjel odabig�gyesztésével nem tudsz helyes kérdést feltenni angolul, mivel az angol a kérdésfeltevéshez kérdő szórendet használ. Tanuljuk is meg most a kérdőszórendet! Például: Present Simple Tense Kijelentés:Mary likes dogs. Segédige: DO Kérdés: Does Mary like dogs? Nézzük először a to be -t, azaz a létigét: Present Continuous Tense Kijelentés:Herbie is sitting on the bed. Segédige: BE→IS Kérdés: Is Herbie sitting on the bed? TO BE Statement: You (subject) are (verb) here. Kijelentés: Te (alany) vagy (ige) itt. Question: Are (verb) you (subject) here? Kérdés: Vagy (ige) te (alany) itt? (Magyarul inkább: Te itt vagy?) Amint azt a fenti példából is láthatod: ha a főige a to be, akkor semmi más dolgod nincs, mint megcserélni az alanyt és az igét. Ha van kérdőszó is a mondatban, akkor a kérdőszó lesz az első, aztán jön a többi elem, kérdő szórendben. Például: Where (question word) are (verb) you (subject)? Hol (kérdőszó) vagy (ige) te (alany)? NOT TO BE – kérdőszórend a többi igével Ha a mondat igéje nem a létige (to be), akkor a kérdésfeltevéshez, tehát a kérdő szórend kialakításához segédigét kell használnod. Kijelentő mondatokban nem használunk segédigét (egy-két speciális esettől eltekintve). A tagadáshoz használunk segédigét, de a szórend ugyanaz, mint a kijelentő mondatokban. Tehát az egyetlen bonyodalmat szórendügyileg a kérdés okozza. Nézzük is meg most már végre a kérdő mondatok szórendjét. A to be, azaz a létige esetét már megtárgyaltuk a fejezet elején, most nézzük azokat az eseteket, amikor bármilyen más ige van a 42 Past Participle been had done Past Simple Tense Kijelentés:Mary went to the Zoo. Segédige: DO→DID Kérdés: Did Mary go to the Zoo. Present Perfect Simple Tense Kijelentés: Mary and John have seen a panda. Segédige: HAVE Kérdés: Have Mary and John seen a panda? A különböző igeidők segédigéit az igeidők tanulásakor érdemes megjegyezni. (Az igeidőkről szóló fejezetekben találod meg őket az igeragozási táblázatokban!) Ha nincs kérdőszó a kérdésben (emlékezz csak vissza, ezt az esetet neveztük yes-no question-nek), akkor ez a sorrendje a szavaknak (mondatrészeknek) a mondatban: Does Mary like dogs? 1. Does: SEGÉDIGE 2. Mary: ALANY 3. like: FŐIGE 4. dogs: TÁRGY www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március Nézzünk egy másik példát is: Is Herbie sitting on the bed? 1. Is: SEGÉDIGE 2. Herbie: ALANY 3. sitting: FŐIGE 4. on the bed: HELYHATÁROZÓ Na, még egyet: Have Mary and John seen a panda? 1. Have: SEGÉDIGE 2. Mary and John: ALANY 3. seen: FŐIGE 4. a panda: HELYHATÁROZÓ Amint az láthatod, a főige nem mindig az első alakban van, hisz például a második példában „-inges” (sitting), a harmadik példában pedig harmadik alakban (seen) volt. Egy egyszerű támpont ahhoz, hogy hogyan jegyezzük meg, hogy mikor milyen segédige és milyen igealak kell: FŐIGE: ► Simple igeidőkben (Present Simple, Past Simple, Future Simple: első alak ► minden continuous igeidőkben (Present Continuous, Past Continuous, Future Continuous, Present Perfect Continuous, Past Perfect Continuous, Future Perfect Continuous): „-inges” alak ► „sima” Perfect igeiőkben (Present Perfect Simple Tense, Past Perfect Simple Tense, Future Perfect Tense): harmadik alak ALANY: a cselekvést végző lény (azért nem mondom, hogy személy, mert hát egy kutya vagy egy földönkívüli is tud cselekvést végrehajtani… meg az emberek is rajtuk ) Akkor kérdezünk alanyra, ha azt akarjuk tudni, hogy ki az a lény, aki (ami) a cselekvést végrehajtja / hajtotta / hajtani fogja. Paula loves George. Somebody loves George. SEGÉDIGE: ► Simple igeidőkben (Present Simple, Past Simple, Future Simple: DO ► „sima” Continuous igeidőkben (Present Continuous, Past Continuous, Future Continuous): ARE ► minden Perfect igeidőkben (Present Perfect Simple Tense, Past Perfect Simple Tense, Future Perfect Tense, Present Perfect Continuous, Past Perfect Continuous, Future Perfect Continuous): HAVE Question: Who loves George? Answer:Paula. WHO: subject GEORGE:object Paula loves somebody. Question: Who does Paula love? Answer:George. WHO:object PAULA: subject Valaki szereti George-ot. Tehát a legfontosabb a szórend tekintetében: Első a segédige, majd jön az alany, a főige, és aztán a többi mondatrész! Ha kérdőszó is van a kérdésünkben, akkor lesz az első szó, majd jön a többi, az előbb említett sorrendben: Kérdés: Ki szereti George-ot? Válasz:Paula. WHO: alany GEORGE:tárgy Például: Where (kérdőszó) did (segédige) Mary (alany) go (főige)? További példák: ALANYRA KÉRDEZÉS – AVAGY KI SZERETI PAULÁT? Hogy a kérdőszórend kérdés se legyen annyira egyszerű, tiszta és világos, ha alanyra kérdezünk, akkor megint csak egy másik szórendet kell alkalmaznunk. Milyen is az, amikor alanyra kérdezünk? Először is tisztázzuk, hogy mi az az alany. TIPP: Angolul azért is nehezebb a dolog, mert nincs a tárgynak jele (mint magyarul a –t ), tehát az például, hogy ki és kit angolul ugyanúgy hangzik: WHO. Az, hogy éppen alany vagy tárgy szerepét tölti be egy szó a mondatban a szórendből derül ki. www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március Paula szeret valakit. Kérdés: Kit szeret Paula? Válasz:George-ot. WHO:tárgy PAULA: alany WHO / WHAT = ALANY WHO / WHAT = TÁRGY Who wants some ice-cream? Pedro wants some ice cream. Ki kér egy kis fagyit? Kit hívtál tegnap? Who did you call yesterday? I called only Sue yesterday. Pedro kér egy kis fagyit. Csak Sue-t hívtam tegnap. What happened here last week? What did Sue say to you? There was an accident. She didn’t say anything interesting. Mi történt itt múlt héten? Mit mondott neked Sue? Volt egy baleset. Nem mondott semmi érdekeset. 43 feleletválasztós nyelvtani teszt írásbeli vizsgák Feleletválasztós nyelvtani teszt Az alábbi teszt hasonló a nyelvvizsgákon (közép és felsőfok) előforduló feleletválasztós nyelvtani tesztekhez.

A legtöbb vizsgán megengedett az egynyelvű szótár használata (az ORIGO és BME vizsgákon kétnyelvű szótárt is használhatsz), amely helyes használata segíti a feladatmegoldást, azonban figyelni kell arra, hogy a rendelkezésre álló idő ne men- jen el szótárazással. Sok olyan tanulóval beszélgettem, akiknek nem sikerült elsőre letenniük a nyelvvizsgát, és amikor próbáltam kideríteni, hogy ennek mi lehet az oka, rengeteg esetben kiderült, hogy szinte minden szót megnéztek a szótárban (még azokat is, amiket tudtak – biztos, ami biztos alapon), és ezzel elment az idő, pánikba estek, elkezdtek kapkodni, és ez természetesen a többi feladat rovására is ment. Tehát fontos, hogy legyen egy jó szótárunk, amelyből ki tudjuk keresni azokat a szavakat, amelyeket nem ismerünk, és a feladat megoldásához, a szöveg megértéséhez szükségesek, azonban nem szabad elfecsérelnünk az időnket arra, hogy önbizalomhiány miatt minden szót ellenőrizzünk, még azokat is, amelyeknek ismerjük a jelentését. Ezt a feladattípust sok-sok olvasással egyedül is lehet gyakorolni. Én mindig azt szoktam tanácsolni, hogy apránként a ta- nuló váltson át a magyar nyelvű újságokról/ internetoldalakról az angol nyelvűekre, mert így a mindennapi információszerzés mellett még a nyelvet is tudja gyakorolni, a nemzetközi híreket pedig a legtöbb esetben össze tudja vetni a magyar lapokban megjelent cikkekkel, így ellenőrizni tudja azt is, hogy jól értelmezte-e a szöveget. Az alábbiakban megnézünk egy-egy olvasott szövegértési feladatot minden szintre (alapfok: B1, középfok B2, felsőfok: C1). Az angol nyelvű szöveg után magyar kérdéseket találsz, amelyekre magyarul kell választ adnod (az ORIGO vizsgán találkozhatsz ilyen típusú feladattal, a többin – beleértve az érettségi feladatokat is – inkább angol nyelvű kérdésekre kell angolul válaszolni. Azonban felkészülés során (függetlenül attól, hogy milyen vizsgára készülsz), mindegyik típust érdemes gyakorolni. A feladatok megoldásait a magazin végén találod. alapfok (B1) + érettségi középszint Latin language Latin is an old language that was spoken by the Romans. People do not speak or write this language very much any more, but many students around the world study it in school. In the Vatican, it is an official language. The Roman Catholic Church still uses Latin as its official language. Many words used in science and medicine were created from Latin words, or are Latin words. There were two types of Latin, Classical Latin and Vulgar Latin. Classical Latin was the literary standard variety used by the Romans and is the one used by the Roman Catholic Church and studied by many students around the world. Vulgar Latin, on the contrary, was the more common spoken variety used by the Romans. Latin was the most important language in the Middle Ages. It was taught in all European schools, and all universities used Latin as the teaching language. Latin lost its importance only in the Reformation. Many languages spoken today came from the Latin language. Those languages are called Romance languages. The five largest Romance languages are French, Romanian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Other IndoEuropean languages are related to Latin. The Romance languages are very close to each other, and it is possible for the speakers of one Romance language to understand another to at least some extent. For example, the speakers of Portuguese can well understand Spanish. It can be said that the Romance languages are modern dialects of Latin. source: Wikipedia Válaszolj a következő kérdésekre magyarul! 1.Melyik korban volt a legfontosabb a latin nyelv és miért? 2.Melyik mai nyelvek származnak a latinból? 3.Hol használják ma a latin nyelvet? 46 www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március középfok (B2) + érettségi emeltszint Final tests for polar explorers Two polar explorers from Devon are undergoing final tests in Canada before the start of a major scientific survey. The pioneering £3m expedition will plot the future of the Arctic ice cap. Pen Hadow, who lives on Dartmoor, and Ann Daniels, of Whimple, will use specially-built radar to measure the thickness of the ice. About 10 million measurements will be taken to help scientists to calculate more accurately how long the dwindling ice cap might last. Mr Hadow became the first explorer to trek solo and unsupported from Canada to the North Pole. Ms Daniels, who has four children including teenage triplets, was a member of the first all-women teams to trek to both the North and South Poles. The third member of the survey team is specialist polar photographer Martin Hartley. The trio have been rehearsing their daily routines in temperatures as low as -30C at Broughton Island, in northern Canada. They are also practising their drills and tasks, as well as checking the scientific and life-support equipment is performing correctly. Mr Hadow said training conditions were tough, with Broughton Island in darkness for about 20 hours a day. "You can't see your hand in front of your face, and if your overhead torch goes out, that is it," he said. During trials in www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március November, the team suffered varying degrees of frostbite to their faces and limbs. But Mr Hadow said it was vital the trials were carried out in extreme conditions. "We need to be sure we work well as a team, so our daily routines for trekking, eating, science work and so forth have to be practised so we are in the best possible shape when we cross the starting line," he said. "After years of preparation, that will be our moment of truth." The three-month Catlin Arctic Survey expedition to the North Pole is due to begin at the end of February. The team will take samples of the water, snow, ice and air as well as measuring the water column under the sea ice and recording density measurements of the snow and ice. A data uplink system will transmit findings to scientists direct from the ice via satellite. An Inuit clam-diver, who has been diving in sub-zero seawater for many years has been giving the team members advice, as they will sometimes be forced to swim across open water pulling heavily-loaded sledges. During the Broughton Island training, Mr Hartley will use an underwater camera to capture images of the team swimming in subzero temperatures. He will also use a nightvision camera to film the team crossing the ice in complete darkness. Current estimates of how long ice will be a year-round feature around the North Pole vary considerably with scientific predictions ranging between five and 100 years. The project aims to help fill the current gap in existing measurement studies by satellites and submarines - which cannot differentiate between ice and snow layers. Once the survey has been completed, the findings will be made available for the United Nations Climate Change Conference of Parties in Copenhagen, Denmark, next year. The project's patron is the Prince of Wales. It is supported by the United Nations Environment Programme and World Wildlife Fund International. source: BBC News Válaszolj a következő kérdésekre magyarul! 1.Hol és hogyan készül a csapat az expedícióra? 2.Ki, hogyan és miért segít a csapatnak felkészülni? 3.Kik az expedíció tagjai, és mit tudunk róluk? 47 olvasott szöveg értése írásbeli vizsgák felsőfok (C1) What's cooking? The evolutionary role of cookery YOU are what you eat, or so the saying goes. But Richard Wrangham, of Harvard University, believes that this is true in a more profound sense than the one implied by the old proverb. It is not just you who are what you eat, but the entire human species. And with Homo sapiens, what makes the species unique in Dr Wrangham’s opinion is that its food is so often cooked. Cooking is a human universal. No society is without it. No one other than a few faddists tries to survive on raw food alone. And the consumption of a cooked meal in the evening, usually in the company of family and friends, is normal in every known society. Moreover, without cooking, the human brain (which consumes 20-25% of the 48 body’s energy) could not keep running. Dr Wrangham thus believes that cooking and humanity are coeval. In fact, as he outlined to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in Chicago, he thinks that cooking and other forms of preparing food are humanity’s “killer app”: the evolutionary change that underpins all of the other—and subsequent— changes that have made people such unusual animals. Humans became human, as it were, with the emergence 1.8m years ago of a species called Homo erectus. This had a skeleton much like modern man’s—a big, brain-filled skull and a narrow pelvis and rib cage, which imply a small abdomen and thus a small gut. Hitherto, the explanation for this shift from the smaller skulls and wider pelvises of man’s apelike ancestors has been a shift from a vegetable-based diet to a meat-based one. Meat has more calories than plant matter, the theory went. A smaller gut could therefore support a larger brain. Dr Wrangham disagrees. When you do the sums, he argues, raw meat is still insufficient to bridge the gap. He points out that even modern “raw foodists”, members of a town-dwelling, back-to-nature social movement, struggle to maintain their weight— and they have access to animals and plants that have been bred for the table. Pre-agricultural man confined to raw food would have starved. www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március Firelight Start cooking, however, and things change radically. Cooking alters food in three important ways. It breaks starch molecules into more digestible fragments. It “denatures” protein molecules, so that their amino-acid chains unfold and digestive enzymes can attack them more easily. And heat physically softens food. That makes it easier to digest, so even though the stuff is no more calorific, the body uses fewer calories dealing with it. In support of his thesis, Dr Wrangham, who is an anthropologist, has ransacked other fields and come up with an impressive array of material. Cooking increases the share of food digested in the stomach and small intestine, where it can be absorbed, from 50% to 95% according to work done on people fitted for medical reasons with collection bags at the ends of their small intestines. Previous studies had suggested raw food was digested equally well as cooked food because they looked at faeces as being the end product. These, however, have been exposed to the digestive mercies of bacteria in the large intestine, and any residual goodies have been removed from them that way. www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március Another telling experiment, conducted on rats, did not rely on cooking. Rather the experimenters ground up food pellets and then recompacted them to make them softer. Rats fed on the softer pellets weighed 30% more after 26 weeks than those fed the same weight of standard pellets. The difference was because of the lower cost of digestion. Indeed, Dr Wrangham suspects the main cause of the modern epidemic of obesity is not overeating (which the evidence suggests—in America, at least—is a myth) but the rise of processed foods. These are softer, because that is what people prefer. Indeed, the nerves from the taste buds meet in a part of the brain called the amygdala with nerves that convey information on the softness of food. It is only after these two qualities have been compared that the brain assesses how pleasant a mouthful actually is. The archaeological evidence for ancient cookery is equivocal. Digs show that both modern humans and Neanderthals controlled fire in a way that almost certainly means they could cook, and did so at least 200,000 years ago. (...)

Cruise's parents moved frequently when he was a child, residing in a number of locations throughout the United States and Canada, including Ottawa; Louisville, Kentucky; Glen Ridge, New Jersey. A highly-regarded actor who tops the celebrity "A-list" and regularly appears on lists of the "most beautiful people in the world," Cruise is known for his tireless devotion to his fans and several random acts of kindness (chasing purse-snatchers and the like). Cruise is clearly a man interested in spiritual things: he considered a career as a Catholic priest before pursuing an acting career and is now perhaps the most outspoken celebrity on his religion. He joined the Church of Scientology in 1986 after a class helped him overcome dyslexia, and his three sisters followed him one by one. His mother, a Catholic, was the lone hold out in the family until she turned to it in 2003 after going through "some things." She still practices her Catholic faith, however. Cruise has been married twice to Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman with whom he adopted two children together, Isabella and Connor and has a child with his current wife, Katie Holmes. Katie Holmes, recently has begun studying Scientology, which Cruise says does not conflict with her Roman Catholic upbringing. He joined the Church of Scientology in 1986 while married to then-Scientologist Mimi Rogers. Cruise is arguably Hollywood's most outspoken member of the Church of Scientology. Cruise has publicly said that Scientology, specifically its "Study Technology," helped him overcome his dyslexia. When speaking of behalf of Scientology, he emphasizes the religion's programs in education, as well as drug addiction recovery and criminal rehabilitation. Since 2004, Cruise has talked more openly about Scientology and promoted its ideas, especially its rejection of psychiatric drugs. Cruise also claimed in an Entertainment Weekly interview that psychiatry "is a Nazi science" and that methadone was actually originally called Adolophine after Adolf Hitler, a well-known urban legend.

The man in the office next door who's always at lunch? Your neighbour with the flash new car? In Norway it's all just a mouse-click away. On Thursday, the financial details of all Norwegian taxpayers was published on the internet – provoking fierce debate in the prosperous Scandinavian country of 4.5 million inhabitants. Every year, Norway publishes everyone's income tax returns. So do Finland and Sweden. And nobody really cares. By contrast, U.S. law prohibits releasing anybody's tax information. Imagine the howl if the IRS put tax returns online, so co-workers, neighbors and mothers-in-law could see what someone earns. That happened in Italy earlier this year, when the outgoing government of prime minister Romano Prodi briefly posted taxpayers' incomes on the Internet, and newspapers picked up the list. www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március Norwegian tax returns have been public information since 1863, but until now it was only possible to see other people's figures by applying in person at a tax office. Now curious web surfers can find out their bosses and colleagues' tax details. 'Necessary gossip' It is also possible to obtain taxation details through a text-messaging service for mobile phones. The mass disclosure prompted the head of the Norwegian data protection authority to ask for the practice to be stopped. However, leading Norwegian daily Aftenposten defended the exercise, describing it as "necessary gossip" in an editorial. "Originally, the point was that everyone should act as watchdogs and check if their neighbour was paying enough tax," the paper said. "This still applies." However, its readers don't agree. One says it is "completely unreasonable to pass this information to the masses" and another calls it a "pathetic demonstration of the culture of envy". Unwelcome offers There were two reasons behind the decision to make tax information publicly available nearly 140 years ago. It was felt that making information available to those with the greatest interest in individual returns – neighbours and fellow villagers – would have a regulatory function. However, the practice has not always been popular. Last year football agent Einar Baardsen took the Norwegian state to court, arguing that publicity about his income led to him receiving dubious investment offers. He also stated that the police had found criminals in possession of copies of local tax lists and claimed that publication breached the European Convention on Human Rights. The case never came to court. According to the latest figures, Norway's richest man is industrialist and fishing magnate Kjell Inge Roekke, who had capital of 3.8 billion kroner (£329m; $515m) on 31 December 2001, but no taxable income for the year.

What is a bank? What kind of role do banks play in our lives? Let us briefly discover this mysterious world of finances. A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits and puts those deposits into lending. Banks provide financial services to customers. Banks are important players in financial markets and offer investment funds and loan services. As banks play an important role in business life and the lives of private persons, governments must regulate their activities. The level of regulation of the bank sector is different by countries. But what does the work „bank” mean? The name „bank” comes from the Italian word „banco” meaning "desk/bench", used during the Renaissance by bankers in Florence, who used to make their transactions above a desk covered by a green tablecloth. However, there are traces of banking activity even in ancient times. In fact, the word goes back to the Ancient Roman Empire, where moneylenders would set up their stalls in the middle of enclosed courtyards on a long bench called a „bancu”, from which the words „banco” and „bank” are derived. As a moneychanger, the merchant at the bancu just converted the foreign currency into the only legal tender in Rome, the Imperial Coin. Banking activities Banks act as payment agents by collecting deposits and paying cheques drawn by customers. Banks also enable customer payments via other payment methods such as telegraphic transfer, EFTPOS (Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale) and ATM (Automated Teller Machine). Banks borrow money by accepting deposits on customer accounts and by issuing bonds. Banks lend money to customers, mostly in the form of installment loans and other forms of money lending. Banks provide almost all payment services, and a bank account is indispensable for most businesses, individuals and governments. In general, there are banking activities that require you to go to a bank and there are 58 As we grow out of our childhood, we all experience the importance of managing our finances. We all buy food, buy a car, a bicycle, go to holiday. We all save money for different things and have to spend money on our lives. Many times, we temporarily do not have the financial means to achieve our goals. In this case, we have a few opthose for which you do not most stores and restaurants. tions… need to go to the bank. When Cash, Visa, MasterCard and you personally go to the bank, your are able to open a checking or a savings account, apply for a credit or a debit card, rent a safety deposit box, fill out a withdrawal slip and withdraw money from your account. At the bank, you are also able to talk to a teller or a bank manager who will give you information about the services the bank has to offer you. You will also be able to take out or pay off a loan at the bank, also just deposit or transfer money. For transferring, checking your account, withdrawing cash, buying different things or paying your bills, you do not need to go to the bank as you may do these transactions by using the e-banking, ATM and bank or credit card services of the bank. Banking in Hungary – Currency, Paying, Credit Cards ► The official currency of Hungary is the forint (HUF). ► Common paper bills are the 20,000, 10,000, 5,000, 1,000, 500. ► The coins come in 200, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5. If a foreigner or tourist wants to exchange currency in Budapest, the best deal will probably be using his/her bank card at the ATM. He or she may also go to a bank or an exchange point (you find those in all shopping centers). Exchange points generally provide better exchange rates than banks. If tourists want to avoid the hassle of exchanging money, they can also pay with credit or banking card in American Express are accepted in most places. In general, they will be able to use most internationally recognized credit cards at larger stores around town. But when shopping in smaller grocery stores and souvenir shops, they might have to pay in cash. The most common ways of paying rent and utilities in Hungary is pre-authorized bank transfer, of postal checks. Expatriates in Hungary tend to use the foreign-owned banks such as Magyar Külkereskedelmi Bank Rt (MKB), or CitiBank Rt. Most banks provide e-banking today in Hungary. In a short time, about 30 minutes, you can open a Forint-based account or a USA dollar or Euro account according to your needs, and it is likely that a minimum deposit will be required. In order to obtain a bank card, you will be asked to make an up-front deposit of Forint 50,000 or € 200. To open a bank account, you must present an identification document (such as ID card, driver's license, tax card, passport, etc.). You can open a bank account either in foreign currency or in Hungarian forints. In order to open a bank account you will have to make a minimum deposit. The amount of it depends on the particular bank. A bank account in Hungarian forints can also be opened without a minimum amount, but this kind of account bears no interest and you cannot change your forints in other currencies at any time. There is also no bank card with this kind of account. Banking hours: regular branches are usually open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. – Monday through. www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március Thursday. On Friday, banks close earlier – usually at 3 or 4 p.m. With the exceptions of some shopping mall bank outlets, Hungarian banks are not open Saturday. All banks are closed on Sundays and on state holidays. ATMs are really common in Hungary and are accessible anytime. However, beware of higher services charges for using ATMs that are not affiliated with your origin bank. Over half of the Hungarian population uses bank cards twice a month on average, almost exclusively for cash withdrawals from their accounts. By investing heavily in information technology and using its extensive branch network, OTP Bank has become the market leader in this new, growing business with more than 40% of all ATMs and bank cards issued in Hungary and more than 70% of all bank card transactions. Banking channels Banks offer many different channels to access their banking and other services: ► A branch, banking centre or financial centre is a location where a bank or financial institution offers a wide variety of face-to-face service to its customers. ► An ATM is a computerized telecommunications device that provides a bank’s customers financial transactions in a public place without the need for a human clerk. Most banks now have more ATMs than branches, and ATMs are providing a wider range of services to a wider range of users. Most ATMs enable card holders from other banks to get their account balance and withdraw cash or top up their mobile phone cards even if the card is issued by a foreign bank. ► Mail is part of the postal system which itself is a system wherein written documents typically enclosed in envelopes. Banks normally use mail to deliver periodic account statements to customers. ► Telephone banking is a service provided by a bank which allows its customers to perform transactions over the telephone. This normally includes bill payments (e.g. for electricity). ► Online banking is a term used for performing transactions, payments etc. over the Internet through a bank's secure website. ► Mobile banking is a method of using one's mobile phone to conduct simple banking transactions by remotely linking into a banking network. ► Video banking is a term used for performing banking transactions or professional banking consultations via a remote video and audio connection. Video banking can be performed via purpose built banking transaction machines (similar to an ATM). Private banking Private banking is a term for banking, investment and other services provided by banks to private individuals investing sizable assets. The word "private" refers to the customer service being provided on a more personal basis than in massmarket banking, usually via dedicated bank advisers. Historically private banking is seen as very exclusive, only catering for persons with high income with liquidity over $2 million, although it is now possible to open some private bank accounts with as little as $250,000 for private investors. An institution's private banking division will provide various services such as wealth management, savings, inheritance and tax planning for their clients. glossary to spend money on sg.

A csapat az Észak-Kanadában található Broughton szigeten készül, ahol a hőmérséklet eléri a -30 fokot. Gyakorolják a napi teendőiket, feladataikat, valamint ellenőrzik mind a tudományos, mind az életben maradáshoz szükséges berendezések működését. A körülmények rosszak, a szigeten naponta 20 óráig van sötétség, rosszak a látási viszonyok, és a csapat tagjai máris különböző mértékű fagyási sérüléseket szenvedtek. 2.

Felsőfok – The evolutionary role of cookery Megoldás: 1. Dr Wrangham szerint mitől felsőbbrendű az ember az étkezés tekintetében? Szerinte a főzés és az ételek egyéb elkészítési módjai helyezik az embert a többi faj fölé. 2. Milyen volt a Homo Erectus testfelépítése, és milyen következtetést vontak le ebből? A modern emberi csontozathoz volt hasonló a testfelépítése: nagy koponya (és agy-) méret, keskeny medence és mellkas, ami kis gyomorméretre utal, tehát valószínűsítik, hogy nyers, növényalapú étrenden éltek, erről tértek www.5percangol.hu | 2010 március át a húsalapú étrendre. 3. Miért nem ért egyet a növényevői elmélettel Dr Wrangham? Szerinte a nyers ételek nem elegendőek a szervezet számára, így a kizárólag nyers ételeken élő, a mezőgazdaság elterjedése előtti emberek éheztek volna. 4. Milyen módon változtatja meg a főzés az élelmiszereket? A keményítő-molekulákat könnyebben emészthető, kisebb darabokra bontja le, a fehérjemolekulákat megváltoztatja, így az emésztő enzimek könnyebben lebontják őket, valamint a hőkezelés puhítja az élelmiszereket, ezek által könnyebben emészthetővé lesznek. 5. Mit tart Dr Wrangham a modernkori elhízás fő okának? A közhiedelemmel ellentétben ő nem a túl sok evést, hanem a túlságosan feldolgozott ételeket hibáztatja az elhízásért.
