Reading & Speaking: opis miejsca i niezwykłe domy

Po tej lekcji będziesz umieć

Reading & SpeakingDescribe a placeUnusual homes
Zaznacz, gdy opanujesz
  • znaleźć w tekście informacje o miejscu i budynku,
  • opisać lokalizację, wygląd i atmosferę miejsca,
  • używać przymiotników: unusual, modern, cosy, tiny, spacious,
  • wyjaśnić, dlaczego dom lub miejsce jest nietypowe,
  • odpowiedzieć ustnie na pytanie o miejsce w stylu maturalnym.

Po co opisywać miejsca na maturze?

Opis miejsca może pojawić się w readingu, speakingu, e-mailu albo krótkiej wypowiedzi. Nie wystarczy znać słowo house — trzeba powiedzieć, gdzie coś jest, jak wygląda, co je wyróżnia i czy chciałbyś tam mieszkać.

Słabo: It is a nice house. → Dobrze: It is a small wooden house in the forest. It looks cosy, but it is unusual because it has only one room.

📄 Pokaż transkrypt
Last summer, I spent one night in a tree house in the north of Poland. It was one of the most unusual places I have ever stayed in. The house was located in a quiet forest, not far from a small lake. It was built high above the ground, between tall pine trees, so the view from the window was amazing.
The tree house was small, but very cosy. Inside, there was one bedroom, a tiny kitchen area and a small bathroom. There was a comfortable bed next to the window, a wooden table in the middle of the room and two chairs near the door. There were also shelves on the wall and a few warm lamps, which made the place feel friendly and relaxing.
The best thing about the tree house was the atmosphere. In the evening, it was very peaceful. I could hear birds, wind in the trees and water from the lake. There was no traffic, no noise and no crowds. It was the perfect place to relax and forget about school for a while.
However, there were also some disadvantages. The stairs were quite steep, and the house was a bit cold at night. Also, there wasn't much space for luggage. Still, I loved the experience. In my opinion, a tree house is perfect for people who like nature, quiet places and unusual adventures.
