Më poshtë, nxënësve u jepen tre tipa të ndryshëm ushtrimesh për linjën e të kuptuarit të një pjese

letrare ose joletrare.

Reading Comprehension 1

Matching Exercise

Read the paragraphs and check the best summary for each.

1. The remarkable thing about Australian English is that it varies so little from place to place, and

from one social group to another. There is almost no such thing as a regional variety of Australian

English, that is no Queensland or South Australian similar to the Southern and New England

varieties of English that exist in the United States. And based on pronunciation alone, it would be

difficult to distinguish a government bureaucrat from a dockyard worker.

A) Australian English is easy to understand

B) Australian English is very uniform

C) Its spelling is unusual

D) Its pronunciation is difficult

2. People have long dreamed of the day when it would be possible to communicate with anyone in the

world through one, universal language. From time to time various living languages have been used

widely, but nationalistic prejudices have prevented anyone from becoming adopted on a truly

universal basis. And artificially constructed languages have their own drawbacks as widespread

means of communication. For example Esperanto, while relatively easy to learn for speakers of

many European languages, has proved to be too dependent on its base in the Roman and Germanic

languages, to offer worldwide appeal.

A) Languages can be either living or artificial

B) The appeal of living languages is universal

C) Esperanto has become a popular language among Europeans

D) No language has become a universal means of communication.

Reading Comprehension 2

Gapped Text

In the following extract 10 parts of sentences have been removed. Choose from clauses A–L the

ONE which fits each gap 1–10. There is one extra clause which you do not need. There is an

example at the beginning (0).

Warm receptions

Adapted from an article in The Guardian, 3 November 2004, by Nick Hall

My four-month mission to conquer the route maps of Ryanair and other budget airlines alike began

with an in augural flight to the Spanish city of Valencia, where I am writing from outside, in the

middle of a small square connected wirelessly to somebody's home broadband connection.

Valencia is Spain's third largest city and has, until now, (0-K).

The journey began with an unsociable 6am flight from London Stansted. Arriving for check-in

shortly after 5am, I felt as though I was walking straight into a hostel, (1___) who had decided to

spend the night at the airport in order to catch their morning flights.

A few pleasant surprises helped get me off to a good start; (2___), in turn the razors and

screwdriver that were tightly packed into my rucksack seemed to be no cause for alarm at security,

despite the many notices and video demonstrations suggesting otherwise.

After queuing for half an hour at security (3___), which is a good 10-minute walk from the main

terminal building. With 25 minutes to spare and the departure gate now in sight there was no need

for rush or panic. Well, at least that's what I thought, until I heard a message over the Tannoy

announcing that "flight FR8321 to Valencia was now closed." To my alarm the announcement

went on to explain that if the last remaining passenger (myself), (4___), didn't show up within one

minute, that person would not be allowed to fly.

Charming, I thought, as I double-checked my phone to reconfirm the time. The flight was

subsequently delayed by 30 minutes after discovering they had no fuel to fly the plane.

Enduring an hour-and-a-half of heavy marketing of drinks, snacks, fragrances and gift items,

(5___), or in-flight digital entertainment for €7, is sure to set things straight from the start, you pay

for what you get, quite literally. Any fantasies or illusions that I may have had when planning my

trip of becoming one of the forgotten "jet-set" have come to an abrupt end.

Having said all that, leaving Stansted in the 6am morning sunrise,(if you can call a blanket of

overcast, grey and drizzly sky a sunrise) and (6___), makes all of the sacrifices well worth it.

Despite this being the inaugural flight it seems I was the only person celebrating.

Throughout the entire flight there was no mention of this surely great news, until the very end

when it was briefly mentioned in passing by a member of the cabin crew.

While Ryanair may be blase about opening up new destinations to the budget route maps (7___)

who keenly greeted the flight with their film crews. In addition to a little media coverage, all

passengers were warmly welcomed and given goodie bags with shirts, pens and wooden fans.

I left for Valencia with few preconceived ideas or expectations – mainly owing to my inability to

plan or prepare for anything in advance, particularly where travel is concerned. It occurred to me

when I arrived in the city centre, without any idea of where to go or what to see, (8___).

I spent my first day wandering the wide avenues lined with palm trees, pavement cafes and

musicians, (9___). After my early start and a two-hour walk in search of one of Valencia's two free

wireless internet "hot-spots", I was completely knackered by the time I had arranged to meet Jess, a

Guardian reader, (10___).

Meeting up with a complete stranger and accepting an offer of accommodation after one or two

emails is not something I would normally feel comfortable about doing, especially not in a foreign

country. Jess, my host for two days and three nights, arranged to meet me at the main train station

after a brief exchange of emails confirming the time and place. Jess works as a teacher, just outside

the city, originally from England she settled in Valencia five years ago.

Example: 0 = K

A: heading for the sun in Spain, less than two hours away

B: first of all my overweight hand baggage seemed to pose no problems at the check-in desk

C: who was delaying the flight

D: as well being given the opportunity to purchase a Ryanair scratch card for €2

E: that it might have been a good idea to at least buy a guidebook

F: as I had to step over all the people

G: it certainly wasn't an attitude shared by the local media

H: simply enjoying and observing the Mediterranean way of life

I: we then headed on to the square

J: who had kindly offered to put me up for the night

K: been inaccessible for those wanting to travel on a tight budget

L: I headed straight to the boarding gate

Open- Ended and Multiple Choice Questions

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

During a recent trip to the United States, I noticed a sign in the reception area of an office building.

It read: “Don‟t Even Think of Smoking Here”. Now, I think that smoking is a disgusting habit but

my first thought was- How can they enforce that? They‟d have to rely on people furtively sidling up

to the receptionist saying things like, “I‟m terribly sorry, but I thought of smoking a cigarette just

then.” Surely this is a pointless notice to hang on any wall, since that kind of confession just isn‟t

going to happen. Or is it?

A few months ago, a 49-year-old Japanese man decided to give himself up to the police because he

was “thinking of doing a robbery”. Apparently he‟d just been made redundant and was in dept, so

he‟d set his little heart on raiding a post office. He hadn‟t counted on his guilty feelings though-or

the fact that he‟d be arrested for conspiracy to commit a crime. Now he has no job and a criminal

record. There are few bigger fans of honesty and honor than me, but I still think there is such a

thing as going too far.

In the UK we already have a high enough crime rate. What would happen if we included thinking

of committing a crime as an offence? The over-subscribed prison population would be bolstered

further by millions of people who‟d been caught in the act of “considering a felony”. I‟d certainly

Topic 1

People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences,

career preparation, and increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or

university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

College is a place that the students can learn more and new knowledge and experience in it. Of

course, different people have different reasons to study in college. For example, some people want

to go on a further study after they graduate from the college; some people hope to find a good job

after their studying in the college and also some people wish to exchange their present situation

through studying in the college. In my opinion, no matter what reason people study in the college

for, studying in the college is just a preparation for their future life.

First of all, students can learn new knowledge and experiences from the studying in the college.

There are many teachers, professors with abundant teaching experience who teach students lots of

new knowledge and help them to solve the problems in their study. With their help, students can

learn a lot of useful basic and professional knowledge which is very helpful for their future work

and study. After they finish their study in the college, students go to work in the society and

contribute to the different fields.

Secondly, students can learn how to arrange their own time reasonably. Before their studying in

college, their life was often arranged by their parents and their study was often arranged by their

teachers.

It is very different for them to live and study in college, because students studying in college have

to arrange their life and study by themselves. They have the right to arrange their part time, such as

Page 17: Matura 2010-Anglisht Final

Shpjegues i Programit të Orientuar GJUHË ANGLEZE

________________________________________________________________________________ © MASH, Maj 2010 Faqe 17 nga 25 www.mash.gov.al

when to get up, when is the sport-time, when to finish the assignment etc. This is a very important

experience for students work and life in the future.

Finally, studying in the college makes students having opportunity to live with other students and

learn how to cooperate with other people. Usually, people often have uncomfortable feeling to live

with a stranger, because they do not know each other and perhaps their habits and personality are

different. But for the long run, it is good for them. They have to cooperate with each other and

solve a lot of problems they will face together. Gradually, they can learn how to care and

understand other people. It is a preparation for students to go to cooperate with other people in the

society.

All in all, students not only can learn lots of new knowledge from the books but also can learn

much more necessary experience such as how to arrange time and how to cooperate with other

people. It is very important for their future wok and life.

Topic 2

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use

specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Throughout my life, I have been lucky enough to have a very good relationship with my parents.

They have supported me, given me necessary criticism, and taught me a great deal about how to

live my life. Parents can be very important teachers in our lives; however, they are not always the

best teachers.

Parents may be too close to their children emotionally. Sometimes they can only see their children

through the eyes of a protector. For example, they may limit a child's freedom in the name of

safety. A teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable new experience. However, it might

seem too dangerous to a parent.

Another problem is that parents may expect their children's interests to be similar to their own.

They can't seem to separate from their children in their mind. If they love science, they may try to

force their child to love science too. But what if their child's true love is art, or writing, or car

repair?

Parents are usually eager to pass on their values to their children. But should children always

believe what their parents do? Maybe different generations need different ways of thinking. When

children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they

realize there are other views. Sometimes parents, especially older ones, can't keep up with rapid

social or technological changes. A student who has friends of all different races and backgrounds at

school may find that his parents have narrower views. A student who loves computers may find

that her parents don't really understand or value the digital revolution. Sometimes kids have to find

their own ways to what they believe in.

The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach

us, our teachers teach us, and our peers teach us. Books and newspapers and television also teach

us. All of them are valuable.

Section 1

READING AND COMPREHENSION

Part 1

Instructions: You are going to read a magazine article about learning when you are older.

For questions 1-4, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the

text, while for the answers 5-7 answer the questions about the text.

Learning later in life

It‟s often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the

minimum amount of work because they‟re crazy for a good social life instead. Children often

scream before their piano practices because it‟s so boring, have to be given gold stars and medals

to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams. But when you are older? Ah, now

that‟s a different story.

Over the years, I‟ve done my share of adult learning. At 30 I went to a college and did courses in

History and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no

reason to be late- I was the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was delayed, not the

other way round. Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was a bonus,

not a nuisance. I wasn‟t frightened to ask questions and homework was a pleasure not a pain. When

I passed, I had passed for me alone, not my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got was

entirely personal.

Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the

joy is that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of things since you

were young. What you lose in the rust department, you gain in the maturity department.

In some ways the, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you‟re older, you get less frustrated.

Experience has told you that, if you are calm and simply do something again and again, eventually

you‟ll get the hang of it.

Learning late doesn‟t mean having to go back to school. Recently, I learnt how to swim. I thought I

could swim before, but I could always get across the pool quicker by walking than swimming.

When I finally managed to swim speedily from one side of the pool to the other was huge. I only

wished my family had been there to congratulate me, as I felt I deserved.

Then there was the skating. I was the worst in the class, but I did eventually get a piece of paper

that said I achieved the art of skating.

Finally, there was the piano. I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming

back to it, with a teacher who could explain why certain exercises were useful and musical

concepts that, at age of ten, I could never grasp, was magical.

Initially I did feel a bit strange, playing the piano, but soon, complex emotions that I never knew

existed poured fro my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes perfect.

The remarkable thing about Australian English, is that it varies so little from place to place, and

from one social group to another. There is almost no such thing as a regional variety of Australian

English, that is no Queensland or South Australian similar to the Southern and New England

varieties of English that exist in the United States. And based on pronunciation alone, it would be

difficult to distinguish a government bureaucrat from a dockyard worker.

A) Australian English is easy to understand

B) Australian English is very uniform

C) Its spelling is unusual

D) Its pronunciation is difficult

9.

People have long dreamed of the day when it would be possible to communicate with anyone in the

world through one, universal language. From time to time various living languages have been used

widely, but nationalistic prejudices have prevented anyone from becoming adopted on a truly

universal basis. And artificially constructed languages have their own drawbacks as widespread

means of communication. For example Esperanto, while relatively easy to learn for speakers of

many European languages, has proved to be too dependent on its base in the Roman and Germanic

languages, to offer worldwide appeal.

A) Languages can be either living or artificial

B) The appeal of living languages is universal

C) Esperanto has become a popular language among Europeans

D) No language has become a universal means of communication.
