WST�P

Pomys� na poradnik Angielski dooko�a �wiata, przyszed� mi do g�owy pod-czas podró�y do Sri Lanki. Poznalimy tam z moim przyjacielem dwóch bardzo sympatycznych Polaków, którzy przez ca�y rok odk�adali ka�dy grosz, �eby wyjecha na wymarzone wakacje. Smutno nam by�o, �e mo-gli tylko po�owicznie spe�ni swoje marzenie. Z powodu braku znajomoci angielskiego nie potra� li cieszy si� i korzysta z otaczaj�cego ich wiata. W kraju pe�nym s�o�ca, gdzie mieszkaj� radoni i przyja ni ludzie, cho wielu z nich straci�o dobytek ca�ego �ycia z powodu tsunami, które spusto-szy�o Sri Lank� dwa lata wczeniej, naszych dwóch znajomych ogarn��o przera�enie nowym i nieznanym. Czuli si� bezpiecznie tylko w hotelu, ca�-kowicie odizolowanym od autentycznego kolorowego zewn�trznego wia-ta. Na spotkanie z nim wychodzili wy��cznie w zorganizowanej grupie. Nie rozmawiali z miejscow� ludnoci�, nie kosztowali egzotycznych potraw, nie kupowali pami�tek, bo nie potra� li si� targowa. Czuli ulg�, kiedy nikt nie zwraca� na nich uwagi. Wielka szkoda! �wiat jest zbyt pi�kny, �eby na niego patrze tylko z hotelowej z�otej klatki czy z okien autokaru. Napisa-�am poradnik dla moich dwóch podró�uj�cych znajomych i dla wszystkich innych polskich turystów, którzy marz� o wielkiej, wi�kszej i najwi�kszej podró�y, i którym, mam ogromn� nadziej�, dzi�ki poradnikowi dodam otu-chy i pomog� zdoby wi�ksz� pewno siebie.

Ksi��ka jest przeznaczona dla dwóch typów odbiorców, pocz�tkuj�cych i rednio zaawansowanych. Zawiera kombinacj� kilku elementów sk�adaj�-cych si� na holistyczn� nauk� j�zyka angielskiego.

Pierwsza cz� – Teksty i wiczenia – sk�ada si� z dwudziestu rozdzia�ów, które opowiadaj� o wiecie i o podró�owaniu.

Beata1.indd 7 2011-11-28 15:55:18

ANGIELSKI DOOKO�A �WIATA

Ka�dy rozdzia� podzielony jest na dwie cz�ci, dla pocz�tkuj�cych i rednio zaawansowanych.

Cz� dla pocz�tkuj�cych zawiera krótki dialog i tekst na ten sam temat, s�owniczki oraz dwa wiczenia ze s�ownictwem z rozdzia�u i zagadnienie gramatyczne.

Cz� dla rednio zaawansowanych zawiera rozszerzony tekst na ten sam temat co dla pocz�tkuj�cych, s�owniczek oraz trzy wiczenia leksykalno-gramatyczne.

Pod koniec pierwszej cz�ci, po odpowiedziach na wiczenia, czytelnicy znajd� pytania dotycz�ce tematów rozdzia�ów i moje propozycje odpowie-dzi, �eby mogli powiczy wypowiedzi ustne.

W drugiej cz�ci czytelnicy poznaj� b�d powtórz� wa�ne s�owa i wyra-�enia z ró�nych dziedzin �ycia, których znajomo jest niezb�dna podczas podró�y.

Na koniec, dla najbardziej wytrwa�ych, zosta� zamieszczony zbiór wicze� dotycz�cy drugiej cz�ci.

Z braku miejsca nie uda�o si� zamieci w poradniku teoretycznego wy-k�adu o gramatyce. Dlatego zach�cam do zapoznania si� z nim w moim podr�czniku Gramatyka angielska w tekstach.

THERE ARE SO MANY REASONS TO STAY AT HOME!

Listen to the dialogue. Listen again and read. A. I’m tired. B. You need a holiday. A. Where could I go? B. You could go windsur� ng to Hel Peninsula. A. I don’t have a reservation. B. Why not go to a cruise on the Caribbean Sea? A. It is too expensive. B. Go to Mexico then. A. I’m afraid of sharks. B. If you worry so much, stay at home. A. But I’m so tired!

TEXT 1I’m looking unhappily at the papers on my desk and thinking about going on holiday. I don’t know if I should go to Hel Peninsula or to the Caribbean Sea, to Mexico or maybe to Tanzania? Should I go alone or with a friend? When should I go? How should I travel? Why should I choose one place over another? I almost have a headache from too many worries!

Travelling is dangerous and expensive, and I have a huge credit to pay off. I don’t really have to go anywhere. On the other hand, there’s so much to see and so much to learn about the world!

TEXT IIHave you ever looked at a pile of ironing and thought,“I need a holiday!” Have you ever sat at work dreaming about remote places you could go to on your holiday and thought, “If I could only take the time off, save some cash, learn a language and get the vaccinations!”

For some, holidays are more stressful than seeing a dentist.Worrying is one of our favorite pastimes, and even taking a short break can be a problem. If this is the case, then why go at all? Your home is your castle, where you feel safe and comfortable, where you bother nobody and no one bothers you.

You are not the only one suffering from travelling stress. Other travellers also try to � nd an excuse not to go and stay at home.

Here is a list of reasons why you might cancel your travel plans. 1. I could go windsur� ng to Hel Peninsula, but there’s no hope of get-

ting a campsite since I didn’t make a reservation six months ago. 2. I might take a cruise on the Caribbean Sea and see the islands and the

coasts of the West Indies, but I am so fed up with how they raise the price by adding extra fees – for the fuel, port – to add to the adver-tised fare.

3. I may head for Mexico, but I’m not keen on meeting sharks, hur-ricanes and drug cartels.

4. How about going to Serengeti National Park in Tanzania? Isn’t it too dangerous now?

5. Where should I go? Who should I go with? When? Why? How? There are too many questions to answer, so I’m staying!

Some reasons, like rising gas prices, expensive plane tickets, a credit to pay off, and a global � nancial crisis, aren’t bad reasons to think about. Money is limited, and sometimes we have to make dif� cult choices. But honestly, there is almost always a way to solve � nancial problems and go and see the world. Of course, petrol may be more expensive, and there is a credit to pay off, but this only means that you’ll have to cut back on other areas if you want to go on your dream trip. So don’t think twice and just hit the road (like Jack from the song by Ray Charles).

TEXT IIWhy do I travel? Do I need a reason or do I already have a million rea-sons?

It’s actually less important why I start travelling; discovering the reasons during the trip is more important. Those beyond my wildest dreams mo-ments surprise me, give extra meaning, and shape my future travels.

Everytime I step outside, I see something – or everything – for the � rst time. And then, when I see the same thing again, it still looks new because my � rst impression had almost no context.This cycle has been repeating since I landed in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. Although I am con-fused, I feel wonderful and inspired. My life is about to change.

Travel is education. Everyday I learn something new through beautiful and dif� cult experiences. Good lessons or bad, travelling has taught me to value what each day teaches me. I can use these lessons even when I don’t travel. If learning and discovering can become your passion, if you can truly

Beata1.indd 19 2011-11-28 15:55:19


20

be interested in people and new places wherever you are, you’ll never be bored on the trip or at home.

The only thing I really own in my life is time. No one else should be in control of MY time. If I can be rich thanks to my time and experience in-stead of “things,” I will have a much better chance of living my life to the fullest.

Holiday-type travel is often just an extension of the life you have at home. You plan your holiday in the same way you plan their home life. That is why, very often you don’t enjoy it. When you try to eliminate all the mis-takes and uncertainties, you can get as a result, a sterile travel experience. You don’t learn anything, and you don’t come home inspired. Travelling should be about slowing down and taking your time. It should be about making mistakes, learning from them, and knowing that travelling will take you in directions you have never dreamt of when planning your trip. This attitude can help you change your life and way of thinking.

We usually stay at home, work hard, keep up with the Joneses, take and pay off credits, and obsess about material things and designer clothes. But the truth is that working hard and keeping up with the Joneses don’t always make us happy or let us live a full life.

Finally, travelling has made me understand and appreciate my own coun-try. After living in other countries, I have realized how hospitable and gen-erous Poles are. Poland has some unpopular policies and practices, many of which embarrass and irritate me, but Poland is not its politics. Poland is its land and people, and I value both highly. This doesn’t mean that Poland has monopoly on virtue, since I think that the world has many lessons to teach the Poles, particularly how to be self-con� dent and tolerant. Gaining a new life perspective from Asians, Africans, or Americans has never made me feel less Polish or European.

A year ago, my sister Maggie visited America. When she came back, I asked her what she thought of America. “In America I realized how much European I am,” she answered. Experiencing the nuances of another culture made her aware just how instinctively European and Polish she was.

Some people don’t travel because they’re afraid of being drugged, mugged or going down with awful illnesses like cholera, malaria, and what not. I’ve experienced being drugged, being mugged, and falling ill. I may be weird,

Beata1.indd 20 2011-11-28 15:55:19

21


but my misadventures have not dulled my travel passions. In fact, what really scares me is the thought that, for some reason, I might stop travel-ling. Travelling has made my world much larger and more vivid, and if the occasional misfortune is the price to pay, that’s � ne with me.
