кажете сега как мина ?
аз нещо доста се изложих, надявам се за 4... :(
Беше мн. трудна,тоест не мн.,но като решавах предните и тази беше бляяякс
Беше трудно,но не чак толкова.Надявам се на 5 :)
ахах аз на 5,50 се надявах,при положение,че имам 5,25 на изпита сега на тъпата матура да имам по-малко срамота :razz: :razz:
и аз не мисля ,че се справих достатъчно добре :( Имаше някои доста гадни изречения ,например за mixed conditionals ,на които в училище не се обръща много внимание.Ние го взехме буквално за 1 час по-простия и по-сложния вид :X. Или за warn с кой preposition върви.Попринцип е с about ,а там такъв отг нямаше...Специално преговарях това нещо и даже в една нз от колко стр граматика го нямаше варианта ,който се изискваше в случая. :o А ако от специална граматика не мога да го науча това ,от къде ще мога да го знам :( За Мърфи говоря...

Може ли да дадеш линк къде да гледаме :D
А относно това за warn- аз писах "of".
Мен ме затрудниха също доста работи.
Това за Conditionals, което се спомена, също ме накара да се позамисля, но писах Втори тип условно. Нямаше никаква логика да е трети тип в първата част, а втори- във втората...

Беше след текста с цветовете. Там имаше някоклко граматически въпроса...
А вие какво писахте там, където трябваше да се избира между There is, THere are, there have, there has...такова колебаене падна между първите две, че няма накъде.
warn OF е ,то беше там 40 и нещо май
there is
rado0201
05-19-2011, 11:40
warn OF е ,то беше там 40 и нещо май
there is
Усетът ми толкова силно ме водеше към there is, а глупавата ми логика към there are. Избрах него, но някак си с нагласата, че не е то..много мразя така..!
Иначе имаше и доста други гадни (подвеждащи) въпросчета..
Абсолютно ,пффф защо така тая година :?
И аз много се замислих на това.В крайна сметка избрах There is макар че и на мен логиката ми говореше,че е There are.

Даа, наистина гадно..
Слушането също ме озорваше- трудно ми беше да преценявам между False и No information...
Слушам и си разбирам всичко, тя говореше супер бавното, но..уви! В крайна смета писах, че няма информация за това, че пирамидите са най-удивителният обект /първия въпрос/ и последния /че са богато декорирани, тъй като просто не можах да го чуя тва никъде..но аз се бях и заплеснал по едно време де..;D/.
А за другото слушане- писах, че няма информация за първия въпрос пак /че са вървели в западна америка двама учени/ и за тва, че е предизвикало удивление и у двамата как индианецът е познал времето.
За монахинята май не ме озори толкова, ама и там не съм много сигурен..
Абе лоша работа... :(
Аз писах за първия на второто слушане false,щото ми се счу че каза wild part of America,но понеже не оточни ,кое и реших че изцяла Америка? Много подвеждащо..А тези с трю и фолс как не ги обичам попринцип... :?
Вие какво писахте за възрастта на монахинята :?
Като цяло целият лисънинг се разбираше ,само за първият въпрос за пирамидите ,точно като говореше за него ,на най -ключовите думи чух нещо с мн ф-та и така и не разбрах ,и реших да го пиша true.

Да, да и аз точно така го чух. Също така каза и "two men" не "two scientists", но за мен щеше да е "Лъжа" ако беше казал "двама моряци" примерно, щото двамата мъже нищо не ги спира да са учени. Същата ми е логиката и за "wild part of America" ако беше казал "the east" или нещо- ЛЪЖА, ама тъй като не е уточнил- пак си мисля, че трябва да е No information.
Ами и аз се замислих за No information,но като цяло ми е трудно да преценя кое да пиша ... 8-)
А за годините аз писах 35

За възрастта й писах 56. Изгонена е, защото е прекарвала много време в Интернет /колебах се малко между това и многото приятели във фейсбук, че пак се бях разсеял, и не чух :д/. Също така не е използвала интернет само за да резервира билети за екскурзии, а новината за изгонването и предизвиква кампания в интернет за връщането й. Това съм писал аз..май имаше и още един въпрос, но не се сещам..

PART TWO: READING COMPREHENSION
Directions: Read the text below. Then read the questions that follow it and choose the best
answer to each question among A, B or C, marking your answers on your answer sheet.
How do you react when you hear the words “road trip”? Do you get excited by the
adventure of driving? Or do you immediately stretch into a yawn, anticipating the boredom of
staring at the tail lights of the car in front of you for mile upon endless mile? Or, do your
palms immediately begin to sweat as you dread the stress of relentless freeway traffic?
About a third of drivers fall into the second category, according to a survey conducted
by researchers at Newcastle University in the UK. And if you think aggressive drivers are the
most dangerous on the road, you might consider the hazards posed by bored ones. The
scientists found that boredom in their study subjects translated into riskier driving to make the
on-road experience more exciting, leading them to have one and a half times more accidents
than other drivers. Not surprisingly, these individuals were more likely to be young and less
experienced behind the wheel.
Four types of drivers were found – those who were nervous, dangerous, young and
bored, those who were enthusiastic, those who disliked driving, and those who were slow and
safe. The young and bored drivers were generally more anxious behind the wheel. That
nervous energy transformed into a need to match their heightened sense of excitement while
on the road, something that they seemed only able to do by speeding or driving recklessly. In
order to stimulate themselves, they tended to speed in urban areas and adopt other accidentprone
behaviors.
The other group that tended to drive fast included the enthusiastic drivers who found
driving was both challenge and pleasure, and were involved in the least number of accidents
among the four groups.
While the results aren't surprising, the study sheds light on why accidents occur. In
many cases, it seems, the drivers feel under-stimulated, and are easily distracted by anything
else but the road. Their mind wanders and they lose concentration. They are not responding in
the same way as enthusiastic drivers are, and that could be a problem for road safety.
16. According to the survey, about 33 percent of drivers think driving is monotonous.
A) True. B) False. C) No information in the text.
17. Enthusiastic drivers are willing to take more risks.
A) True. B) False. C) No information in the text.
18. Bored drivers tend to drive carefully.
A) True. B) False. C) No information in the text.
19. Reckless drivers are typically quite experienced.
A) True. B) False. C) No information in the text.
20. According to the survey, accidents occur when drivers feel stimulated.
A) True. B) False. C) No information in the text.
Directions: Read the text below. Then read the questions that follow it and choose the best
answer to each question correspondingly among A, B, C or D, marking your answers on your
answer sheet.
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer – a building contractor
– of his plans to leave the house-building business to live a more leisurely life with his wife
and enjoy his big family. He would miss the paycheck each week, but he wanted to retire.
Though it was difficult, his family could make ends meet.
The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just
one more house as a personal favour. The carpenter said yes, but over time it was easy to see
that his heart was not in his work. He became very careless and used inferior materials. It was
an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.
When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to inspect the house. Then
he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, "This is your house... my gift to you."
The carpenter was shocked!
What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have
done it all so differently.
So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into
the building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we
could do it over, we would do it much differently.
But, you cannot go back. You are the carpenter, and every day you hammer a nail,
place a wooden board, or erect a wall. Someone once said, "Life is a do-it-yourself project."
Your attitude, and the choices you make today, help build the "house" you will live in
tomorrow.
21. The carpenter decided to retire because
A) he had saved enough to spend the rest of his life in leisure.
B) his employer had not paid him regularly.
C) his family was not large and didn’t need much.
D) he wanted to spend more time with his wife and children.
22. The contractor was sorry because the carpenter
A) was having some heart problems.
B) was his favourite worker.
C) had promised to build one more house.
D) had been a good and loyal worker.
23. At the end of his career the carpenter
A) still worked in his usual way.
B) began to try out new building materials.
C) changed his work-style.
D) wanted to show the best of his craftsmanship.
24. The carpenter was shocked because
A) he had unknowingly punished himself.
B) the contractor never inspected the building site.
C) his employer was disappointed with his work.
D) the present he got was too small.
25. According to the narrator, life is like a
A) nail knocked in the wall.
B) house we slowly build.
C) wall between birth and death.
D) board we fix in its place.
Directions: Read the text below. Then read the questions that follow it and choose the best
answer to each question correspondingly among A, B, C or D, marking your answers on your
answer sheet.
“I’ve been having an identity crisis for years. Terri knows. Terri can tell you. But let me say
this. If I could come back again in a different life, a different time and all, you know what? I’d
like to come back as a knight. You were pretty safe wearing all that armor. It was all right
being a knight until gunpowder and muskets and .22 pistols came along.”
“Herb would like to ride a white horse and carry a lance,” Terri said, and laughed.
“Carry a woman’s garter with you everywhere,” Laura said.
“Or just a woman,” I said.
“That’s right,” Herb said. “There you go. You know what’s what, don’t you, Nick?” he said.
“Also, you’d carry around their perfumed hankies with you wherever you rode. Did they have
perfumed hankies in those days? It doesn’t matter. Some little forget-me-not. A token, a
symbol, that’s what I’m trying to say. You needed some token to carry around with you in
those days. Anyway, whatever, it was better in those days being a knight than a peasant,”
Herb said.
“It’s always better,” Laura said.
“The peasants didn’t have it so good in those days,” Terri said.
“The peasants have never had it good,” Herb said. “But I guess even the knights were vessels
to someone. Isn’t that the way it worked in those days? But, then, everyone is always a vessel
to someone else. Isn’t that right? Terri? But what I liked about knights, besides their ladies,
was that they had that suit of armor, you know, and they couldn’t get hurt very easily. No cars
in those days, man. No drunk teen-agers to run over you.”
“Vassals,” I said. “They were called vassals, Doc, not vessels.”
“Vassals, vessels, ventricles, what’s the difference. Well, you knew what I meant anyway.”
“He’s just a humble doctor,” I said. “But sometimes knights suffocated in all that armor,
Herb. They’d even have heart attacks if it got too hot and they were too tired and worn out. I
read somewhere that they’d fall off their horses and not be able to get up because they were
too tired to stand with all that armor on them. They got trampled by their own horses
sometimes.”
“That’s terrible,” Herb said. “That’s a terrible image, Nicky. I guess they’d just lie there then
and wait until someone, the enemy, came along and made a shish kebab out of them.”
“Some other vassal,” Terri said.
“That’s right, some other vassal,” Herb said. “There you have it. Some other vassal would
come along and kill his fellow-knight in the name of love. Or whatever it was they fought
over in those days. Same things we fight over these days, I guess,” Herb said.
26. Obviously Herb is
A) in the medical profession.
B) a man in financial crisis.
C) someone who has had a car accident.
D) None of the above.
27. The conversation suggests that
A) Nick is the narrator.
B) Terri wants to be a knight.
C) Laura thinks it is a good idea to carry a token.
D) Herb likes the guns of the knights.
28. Herb tends to romanticize the lives of knights mainly because
A) knights wore garters everywhere.
B) knights were safe in their armor.
C) knights were vassals.
D) the knight’s armor was bulletproof.
29. By saying “he is just a humble doctor” the narrator suggests that Herb is
A) not very well educated.
B) not knowledgeable of things outside his profession.
C) incompetent in his profession.
D) unpretentious in his desires.
30. The overall conclusion drawn by Herb is that
A) wounded knights waited to be given shish kebab.
B) peasants were better off than knights.
C) knights often died of heart attacks not in fights.
D) we share a lot with people of the past.

reflection, twilight and deep water.”

In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak: “You foolish colors, fighting amongst

The Mysteries of the Great Pyramids
There are dozens of mysteries that people cannot explain. Let’s take a look at one of those
– the Great Pyramids, an issue that has always provided food for thought.
The first pyramid to be built was the one called Step. It was probably the first large stone
object anyway. Egyptians used to steal stones from the Step Pyramid to make other buildings. So
currently, it is 198 feet tall. But it set the beginning of a whole string of strange pyramids.
The second in the line was the Bent Pyramid. The reason for its name was that halfway
through the construction process, the insides started to collapse so the angle dramatically
changed. It is about 330 feet tall. Obviously you can’t expect to get a perfect pyramid at the first
try.
However, three “true” pyramids were built around 2467 B.C. at Giza. The first one was
471 feet tall. The second was very small compared to the other pyramids, only 215 feet. That’s
not even as tall as the Statue of Liberty!
Finally, the Great Pyramid was built. Originally 481 feet tall, it has worn away since.
Each of its bricks is half as tall as an adult. The Great Pyramid has three small “queens’
pyramids” surrounding it. Their arrangement may have been inspired by the stars.
Many people have theories about how the pyramids were built. One theory is that aliens
built them. Another is that god-like creatures taught people how to build the pyramids. To this
day, there has not been a real explanation about the pyramid construction.

Two men were travelling in a very wild part of America. They saw no modern houses and no
traces of civilization for many days. What they saw were only a few huts made of wood or tents
where Indians lived. One day they met an old Indian who was a hunter. He was very clever and
knew everything about the forest and the animals living in it and many other things. He could
also speak English quite well. They had a good long talk with him and then prepared to go on the
road again.
"Can you tell us what the weather will be like during the next few days?" one of the two
travellers asked the Indian.
''Oh, yes," he answered. "Rain is coming, and wind. Then there will be snow for a day or two,
but then the sunshine will come again and the weather will be fine."
"These old Indians seem to know more about Nature than we do today with all that science,"
said the man to his friend. Then he turned to the old Indian again.
"Tell me," he asked, "how do you know all that?"
The Indian answered: "I heard it over the radio."
Directions: You will hear a text about a nun’s unusual hobby twice. Before you listen to it, you
have 2 minutes to read the questions. While listening for the first time, you can look at the
questions and the suggested choices, but you are not allowed to take notes. When you hear the
whole text, you have 4 minutes to answer the questions on your answer sheet, choosing among A,
B, C or D. Then you will hear the text again and will have 1 minute to check your answers.
For its millions of users all over the globe, Facebook is a fun and harmless way to make new
friends and catch up with old ones. However, for the 56-year-old Spanish nun Maria Jesus Galan,
her online activity on the social networking site ended up costing her job and her home.
Sister Maria was asked to leave the religious order where she had lived in seclusion for 35
years because she spent too much time on the website, it has been reported. True to her nickname
of 'Sister Internet', given to her by her fellow nuns, the nun herself first broke the news on her
Facebook page, where she wrote: “Following disagreements over my online activity, I have now
been officially asked to leave the convent.”
An online campaign attracting thousands of supporters is now under way, with fan pages
springing up, demanding that she be allowed to return back into the convent. Sister Maria had
almost 600 'friends' on Facebook at the time of her expulsion from the convent and listed her
hobbies as 'reading, music, art and making friends', according to The Telegraph.
The 14th century convent in Toledo, where Sister ‘Internet’ used to live, first got a computer
10 years ago to lessen the need for nuns to enter the outside world. Sister Maria, who entered the
order when she was 21 years old, told The Telegraph: “It enabled us do things such as banking
online and saved us having to make trips into the city.” Notably, she also began digitising the
convent's archives and made them accessible to the world – an activity for which she was praised
and given an award, and through which she gained hundreds of friends on Facebook.
Now living at her mother's house, Sister Maria wants to use her new-found freedom to see the
world. She posted on her Facebook page: “I would like to visit London and New York. Such
things were impossible to even dream about when I was at the convent.”

абе колко писахте на тоя последния въпрос.Тия 170 думи ги изкарах към една страница,а някой в мойта стая писаха по лист и нещо :-o
Аз се обърках-имам 2 грешки на теста и там няколко на трансформациите и това прави 60 точки без съчинение :grin:
http://www.minedu.government.bg/news-home/2009/11-05-19_dzi.html Ей ги отговорите на матурите.

Много е хубава матурата, силните ми компоненти преобладават. Само да не направят другата година задължителна матура по профилиращия предмет (френски за мен), че тогава лошо ми се пише ... :D
А за задължителна матура математика да не говорим, обаче силно се съмнявам да ме хване ...

Здравейте! Надявам се да не се повтарям, нямам възможността да чета цялата тема. Имам един въпрос.. Дали много ще ме санкционират ако на последната част не съм писала по коя тема ще пиша :( :-o
Благодаря предварително за отговора! :)
Ей хора, 59то изречение не трябва ли да е така:
I'd rather not to quarrel with my neighbours in spite of ...[/b]
не, конструкцията е would rather + verb
а не would rather + to + verb
пфффф заради тъпото to отиват 2 точки...
2рата част от изречението ако ти е вярна може да ти дадат 1т. Нали трансформациите се оценяват с 0-2т. Спокойно, на 6 юни ще разберем, минало е вече =)
Здравейте! Много моля, ако някой знае как се толерира разменянето на местата на парафразите да отговори! Притеснявам се да не го приемат като знак и да анулират цялата работа. :( Размених местата на две парафрази и предполагам няма да получа точки за тях, но .... изцяло да ме резнат .... :( Успех на всички!
