Do you agree that teenagers should always listen to adults?

To my mind, teenagers should listen to adults a lot, but not always. I disagree with the idea that adults are always right because it depends on the person. Sometimes adults make mistakes, do all the wrong things or are even criminals. Young people mustn't listen to their advice because these people don't know how to help them. But, most adults are good people and want to help teenagers. That's why it's a good idea to listen to those caring and honest adults. With their help, young people can understand life and how to act better.

What makes a good restaurant?

In my opinion, a good restaurant is a friendly place with excellent food. Good restaurants serve healthy meals and the staff know a lot about the food on the menu. Also, the decor in a good restaurant is stylish and interesting. A good restaurant is a very clean place too. It is good when the restaurant has a nice view of a garden or a park and it's not noisy. Well,... a welcoming and warm atmosphere is very important in a good restaurant as well. You want to feel relaxed and happy when you have a meal there.

What is a healthy diet?

In my opinion, a healthy diet contains the food rich in vitamins and proteins, such as fresh vegetables, fruit and milk products. It hasn't got a lot of carbohydrates and fat, so you don't eat many sweets and fatty things. When you are on a healthy diet, you eat small meals and you have them regularly. You also drink a lot of mineral water and you can't have a lot of coffee, sweet drinks or alcohol. In fact, you shouldn't eat out in fast food restaurants. It's a good idea to cook at home if you want to eat healthily,

Are you a great fan of weekend shopping?

To me, weekend shopping is a very bad idea. Firstly, I hate shops at the weekend because they are always crowded and noisy. Everyone wants to do the shopping on Saturday or Sunday and I don't understand why. For instance, if there are some good special offers, you can't get them at the weekend because there are so many people everywhere. What's more, if you go shopping at the weekend, you don't have time for other relaxing things, such as meeting friends, going to the cinema or just watching TV. And this is something I want to do on Saturdays and Sundays when I don't have to go to school. That's why I'm definitely not a fan of weekend shopping.

What are the good sides of working for yourself?

Well, erm ... that's a good question. Working for yourself is good because you can work from home and you don't have to go to the office every day. Besides, you don't have a boss, so you can make your own decisions. It's great for people who like to be free. What's more, when you work for yourself, you can have holidays when you want and work when you want. All in all, in my opinion, it's a great idea to work for yourself.

What is your dream job?

I'd like to work as a radio DJ because I think I'd be good at this job. First of all, I'm really into music and I know a lot about the latest music trends, so I could use this at work. My English is also quite good, so I understand the song lyrics and this is very useful in this job. I'm good at talking to people too, so I could do interviews with music stars. I think I am quite clever and tell good jokes and I'm sure the radio listeners would like my programmes. Finally, a DJ's job is well-paid and really exciting. That's why it's my dream job.

Do you think the people are taking good care of the animal?

All the people in the picture look really worried and I think they really want to help the animal to feel better. Everyone is looking at the panda very carefully and probably talking to the animal. Maybe they feel very close to it and, for them, such a wild endangered animal could feel like a family pet or even a family member. The vet and the woman on the right are even touching the panda. They are not afraid at all. That's why I'm absolutely sure they are taking very good care of the panda bear.

Should all the zoos be closed?

In my opinion, zoos are a very bad idea. For instance, African animals should live on their continent, not in Europe or North America, because they can only feel happy and survive as a species in their natural environment. Many zoos don't have enough money to look after the animals really well. Some, such as the zoo in Warsaw, are in the noisy city centre and I don't think it's good for the animals. All of these places should be closed as soon as possible. But there are also some fantastic places - huge zoos with great experts, doctors and scientists. Sometimes these specialists can help endangered animals survive, so these special zoos are a very good idea. Unfortunately, there aren't too many of them. So, all in all, most zoos should be closed and only the specialist ones should stay open.

Why do young people enjoy summer camps?

Well, it's hard to say. Some teenagers love summer camps because they can spend their summer holidays in an active way. If they are into sports, adventure holidays with lots of sports activities are perfect for them. Other young people choose summer camps because they want to be far away from their parents. They prefer travelling and having fun with their friends. Personally, I love summer camps because you can meet new people, make new friends and go crazy together. I am a great fan of active holidays.

Are hitchhiking holidays always a good idea?

I can't think of one good answer. Going on hitchhiking holidays is always a great adventure, that's for sure. On the one hand, you can have fun and meet fantastic people on your way. On the other hand, it can be dangerous - you can get into trouble, travel with strange people or spend a night in a unsafe place. Personally, I believe hitchhiking is a very good idea for people who have little money, a lot of time and can travel as a group. When you travel with your friends it is safer and more exciting. It's also a great idea for people who like visiting small, unpopular places. Driving from one place to another, you can stop in small villages and towns and enjoy their atmosphere. All in all, hitchhiking is good for groups of student

travellers, but it can be a bad idea when you are older and travel alone in a dangerous country.

Which do you think is worse, telling white lies or gossiping and why?

In my view, honesty is the best policy, but if I have to choose, gossiping is worse than telling white lies. When you tell a white lie, it's often because you want to be nice to someone, or you don't want to hurt their feelings. Telling white lies is a way of helping someone, especially your friends. For example, if your girlfriend is happy with a new dress, you don't want to tell her that the colour doesn't suit her, But when people gossip about someone, they don't want to help this person. They usually want to feel better than others and for me this is wrong. That's why I think gossips are worse than liars.

Would you like to learn to play baseball?

Personally, I wouldn't like to play this sort of game because it's better for boys. For example, you have to be really strong to hit the ball and I'm not strong enough. Also I'm not too quick, so I couldn't be a really good player. Besides, it's a team sport in which you have to compete, and I prefer individual sports without too much competition and stress. My favourite sport is scuba diving.

What makes a best-selling book?

Well, that's a very good question! A real best-seller is a novel which is very attractive to many readers. In my opinion, it must have an exciting story, lively dialogues and an extremely attractive cover. Firstly, it must be easy to notice in a bookshop. That's why an original cover is so important. Secondly, it must be a pleasure to read. Readers love exotic locations, frightening adventures and characters they can identify with. The novel must have a lot in common with real life, but it also has to remind you of your incredible dreams. Take, The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien, for example. It's a beautiful story with fantastic characters who have problems and ambitions like we all do. And the plot is quite dramatic and sometimes unreal, like in a very good action movie. That's what makes a best-selling novel.

Is it a good idea to see a film adaptation before reading a book? Why?

Personally, I prefer reading books to watching films, so it's a better idea to me to read the book first. First of all, when you read a novel, you can use your creativity and imagine all the characters, places and events in the book. It's easy to create the whole story in your mind and that's very exciting - for instance, the Harry Potter books. The book author had such incredible ideas that reading the novel was a great adventure. But, when I saw the films, I was really disappointed. My imagination was better than the special effects I saw on the cinema screen. On the other hand, when you see a really good film adaptation first, it can be a great invitation to read the book later. There are some books, like the stories of Sherlock Holmes, which I read after seeing their cinema version. All in all, it's a great idea to read a

book before you see a movie. But a really successful film adaptation can help you discover an exciting book as well.

What electronic gadget is the most useful for you? Why?

For me, the most useful device is my mobile phone. I think I am addicted to it and sometimes I use it too often. But it's because it's so useful. It helps me a lot because I can send and receive text messages to keep in touch with my friends. I can also call my parents and tell them that I am going to be late for dinner so they don't have to worry about me. And it's not everything. I take a lot of pictures with my mobile phone and then upload them on my blog. It's great because I can post the news very quickly with my mobile. I also use it to download audio files and listen to music on my way to school. I simply can’t imagine my life without my mobile.

What makes a good teacher?

If you ask me, a good teacher should love his or her job because students can notice that quite easily. A good teacher respects the students and tries to understand their problems. What's more, to be good at this job, you have to know a lot about the subject you teach and be good at explaining difficult things in an easy way. A good teacher can plan exciting lessons and knows how to keep his or her students interested in the subject. Most importantly, good teachers must be patient and understanding. They have to control their emotions when they give marks, test or exams and they must show positive emotions to motivate their students to study hard. As I see it, it's not easy to find a good teacher, but if you find one, you'll always remember the person.

What is the best way to encourage young people to go to university?

Nowadays, young people decide to go to university for many different reasons. The best way to encourage them is to offer them interesting courses to do at university. Besides, universities should have excellent student facilities - comfortable lecture rooms and dormitories, great sports facilities, free access to the Internet for all students and modern libraries. University teachers should also be experts with a real passion for their job and subjects. Finally, university studies should be free for all students. And the students who get very good marks or are gifted should get money to pay the fees to be able to study abroad. I'm sure those are the best ways to encourage young people to go to university.

What kind of protest would you like to join? Why?

Personally, I am absolutely passionate about animal rights, so I would like to take part in a protest against animal experiments. I'd like our politicians to do something about it and for me the only way is to protest. I am not an aggressive person, so I'd love to make a petition or write a manifesto and ask people in the streets to sign it. I could also organise a school debate and invite some experts to tell the truth about animal experiments to all the students in my school. Then we could make banners and go on a street march. It would be a great idea to set up an animal lovers' party and organise similar protests more regularly.

What can you learn from visiting foreign countries?

Well, that's a very interesting question. Personally, I love travelling and I believe that visiting foreign countries can teach you a lot of important things. First of all, you meet new people and make new friends. They come from different cultures, so you can learn a lot about their customs and traditions. That's the best way to learn the most interesting things about the world. You also become more tolerant when you see how people live and think differently from you. Besides, when you visit a foreign country and stay there for a while, you can learn the local language. This is the best method of learning languages for me. Finally, travel is also about sightseeing, listening to local music and tasting local food. It's always the most enjoyable part of my holiday. I always take plenty of pictures, bring back CDs with new music and find new recipes. Then, after many months, when I look at the photos, listen to the music or try a foreign recipe, I realise how much I have learnt from the holiday experience.

Is sightseeing a good way to spend a holiday? Why?/ Why not?

This question is quite difficult to answer because a lot depends on the person. Some people enjoy lazy holidays on the beach, so for them sightseeing is not a good idea at all. They prefer relaxation and entertainment. Other people who are more interested in learning about other cultures are great fans of sightseeing. They like to visit interesting places in their own country or abroad, and they often buy a guidebook before the trip or buy a guided tour to learn as much as possible about the places they see. What's more, photography is getting very popular as a hobby. Amateur photographers travel around with their cameras and take plenty of pictures while sightseeing. For them as well, this is the best idea for a holiday. To sum up, a sightseeing holiday is a perfect idea for travellers who want to find out more about foreign cultures and traditions or take photographs of the beautiful landscapes and sites. For many tourists who prefer doing nothing on holiday, sightseeing is not fun.

Would you prefer to go on a lazy holiday or to spend it in an active way? Why?

If you ask me, the best holiday is a peaceful and relaxing time with nothing to worry about. That's why I'd prefer to go on a lazy holiday far away from the noise and the crowds. My day-to-day life is very busy and stressful. I have to do a lot of things at school and at home. What's more, I always need to be on time, so I'm always in a hurry. I want my holiday to be totally different. Personally, I'd be much happier on an all-inclusive beach holiday than on a backpacking adventure trip where you have to make all the arrangements yourself.

Why do young people get addicted so easily these days?

As far as I can see, there are several reasons for underage 14 addictions nowadays. Firstly, young people live under a lot of stress these days. Because their parents work so hard, they don't have enough time to talk to their teenage children. And so teens are left with the stress on their own. For some, the easiest way is to try alcohol, cigarettes, legal highs, or drugs. Others feel better as a result of binge eating, playing computer games or shopping. These habits quickly become addictions they can't live without. What's more, the contemporary mass media and music industry promote celebrities who believe it is trendy to have addictions. It's enough to look at the latest music videos, teen magazines and TV programmes to understand what I mean. All kinds of addicts are becoming role models for young people. Finally, if you have enough money, you can easily buy addictive substances.

Alcohol, cigarettes, legal highs or soft drugs are easily available in places where young people often hang around. Most teenagers can afford them or find ways to get the money for them. Even if it is illegal to sell these substances to under-eighteen is very few adults respect the law. This, in my view, explains why contemporary young people get so easily addicted.

What is the best way to discourage young people from using drugs?

It s difficult to give an easy answer to this question. Everything depends on the specific situation. But generally, I believe adults can do a lot to discourage teenagers from using drugs. A lot of money should be spent on education and advertising campaigns against drugs. If youngsters understand why people use drugs and how harmful they are, and when they realise that it is not cool at all to be addicted, they will probably try to avoid drugs. To make young people understand this, we need experts who can effectively communicate this message. Only those teachers, psychologists and doctors who know how to talk to teenagers will be successful. And finally, a lot depends on parents. If they spend more time with their teenage children, talk to them every day, respect their opinions, get to know their friends and try to understand what's happening in their lives, young people won't need to look for escape outside the family. So, all in all, to me. the best way to discourage teenagers from using drugs is to teach them how to be happy without using these addictive substances.

Would you participate in a protest march and why?

It depends on so many things. First of all, I really care about animals. They have to suffer only because some rich people want to wear trendy coats, and I can't put up with that. For that reason, I would like to participate in a similar protest. On the other hand, I don't think I could take part in this kind of protest. It's too extreme for me. I wouldn't walk naked in the street. All in all, I would protest for that cause, but I would do it in a different, less extreme way.

Do you think eating out is always a good idea?

To be honest, I have never thought about it before. Let me think ... Well, eating out is definitely a perfect idea for everyone who can't cook or doesn't have enough time for cooking on his or her own. And it is also very attractive for people who enjoy experimenting with new, exotic tastes as these days you can visit all kinds of themed restaurants serving the most unusual food. The only problem seems to be money. If you decide to eat out on a daily basis, it means spending quite a lot of money on meals every day. It's probably twice as much as you spend on home cooking. So this idea would be perfect only for the people who are wealthy and can afford it. Eating out can also be a problem if you don't know the right place to have a meal. In my case, I never eat at fast food bars because I'm afraid the food may not be fresh enough or the kitchen might be not clean enough. I simply don't trust such places. On the other hand, I hear that some expensive restaurants can sometimes serve old food or have dirty kitchens as well. So eating out seems a good idea only if you are sure the place is up to your expectations. I reckon the best way to find a good place to eat out at is to ask your friends for advice or check the Internet and local guidebooks for recommendations. To put it in a nutshell, better safe than sorry.

Do you prefer to take oral or written exams and why?

As far as I'm concerned, oral exams are a much better idea. Firstly, you get a chance to talk to an examiner in person and you can explain what you mean if they don't understand your answer at first. You can also immediately correct a mistake you have made there and then. What's more, oral exams usually check your knowledge in practice - in that sense they are more useful in real-life because you can show your skills, not just give information. Besides, oral exams take less time than written tests, so they are less stressful for the student. Another advantage of oral exams is that you get the results very quickly, so you and your family don't nave to wait for ages and stress out. Finally, I am much better at talking and I usually do badly in written assignments, so personally I prefer having a conversation with an examiner to writing essays or doing written tests.

What is the best way to promote sporting activities among teenagers?

That's a good question. I've been thinking about it recently. It's funny that in the USA so many sports events attract thousands of fans. In Poland only football matches and ski jumping contests are so popular. Oh, perhaps dance contests as well. But even if young people in Poland watch sporting events, they do not really enjoy doing the sports. And I believe a lot depends on upbringing. To make things better, it would be an idea to launch a national advertising campaign to promote sports and healthy lifestyles. By doing this, we could convince teenagers that doing sports is beneficial for their health and trendy. The situation could be improved if more money was spent on building modern sports facilities in bigger and smaller towns. They should be close to schools and available to teenagers free of charge. This could lead to more young people across the country participating in sporting activities. Finally, families should do sports together in their spare time. If children learn that sport is great fun when they are still very young, they will want to take part in all sorts of sports contests later on as well. In a way, children should be taught to enjoy sports I would say. All things considered, adults can do a lot to encourage [he yuunyer generation lu get Involved in sports.

What can schools do to help students keep fit?

modern sports facilities built at the school or near the school and available for free would be a great idea. However, schools can do even more to help students keep fit. The problem could be solved by employing PE teachers who are not only good at sports but also extremely enthusiastic. A good PE teacher should know how to encourage students to compete and enjoy sports without stressing them out. Keeping fit is also connected with a healthy lifestyle. The problem of overweight teenagers could be solved if pupils knew what makes a healthy diet. If kids could learn at school how to make healthy meals, that would make things better for sure. Finally, school canteens should offer healthy meals and snacks. To sum up, if schools promoted a healthy lifestyle, students would find it easier to keep fit.

I was wondering if you could recommend a good book by a Polish author to me.

Well, in fact, I've just finished reading an autobiography of Wfadyslaw Szpilman, called The Pianist. A real treasure on the market! It s a must read for anyone who wants to understand Poland's past as it is set during World War II in Warsaw. The book is based on real-life

events and tells the story of a Polish Jewish pianist who tries to survive the war in Warsaw. As the Polish capital is occupied by the Nazis, ail the Jewish residents have to escape or hide in order to avoid suffering and death. Szpilman is one of them. With the help of some brave Poles and one German officer, he manages to stay alive, but it is not easy. This moving story is full of unexpected twists and it kept me in suspense until the very end.

How often and when do you use technology to communicate with your family members?

Never thought about it before. Hmm ... Well, actually I use all kinds of technological gadgets to stay in touch with my family every single day. I think it happens so often because everyone in my family has a very busy life and we seldom have enough time to sit down and talk together face-to-face. But of course, we have to keep in touch during the day. There are hundreds of reasons. I usually text my parents when I need to tell them where I am or when I am going to get back home. I have an iPhone so I tweet my brother a lot. Sometimes we even argue on Twitter. Well, and there's my girlfriend ... Let me put it this way. She's not my family member yet, not officially anyway, but we are very close. We do skype practically every evening, having video conversations or simply chatting online. I must admit I didn't realise how much technology affects the way I communicate with my family. What is the best part-time job for a student?

It's difficult to choose one part-time job which would suit all the students. It has to be rewarding and quite well-paid, but it can't be too challenging as people of that age are not experienced enough. Most students hate mundane tasks, so the work can't be boring, either. I would consider two options: a job as a personal assistant and a sales representative. In these two jobs, you can learn a lot from other people and you can be on flexitime, which is important for students. As a PA, you can show your communication and organisation skills and if you are successful you can get a permanent job and later get promoted. Working as a sales rep, you learn how to persuade people to do things for you, how to negotiate and it's also easy to see the results of your work. If you sell a lot, you get a pay rise. This is what matters to many students. With both jobs, you get some perks too, such as a company car, a laptop or a mobile. That too can be quite appealing to a student. If I had to choose myself, I would apply for a PA job because I love working in a team.

What are the disadvantages of working for a big company?

Although many people dream of working for an international corporation, I think there are too many negative aspects connected with working at such big companies. The greatest disadvantage is the hours you have to spend at work. To give you one example, take my brother. He works for a multinational company and does a lot of overtime. Sometimes he even works at the weekend. As a consequence, he is exhausted and has no time to enjoy our family life. Another drawback is the atmosphere at work. In a big company everyone wants to do better than others. One reason is to earn more. The other is that most employees simply don't want to be made redundant, so they try really hard. The competition makes people aggressive and it's very difficult to work with colleagues who think you are their biggest enemy. There is also one more negative aspect which is very important to me personally. Working for a corporation, you have to follow a specific dress code and I hate wearing suits.

I can't stand it when everyone in the office looks exactly the same -grey and boring. For those reasons. I'd prefer to be self-employed.

Where do you do shopping more often? -gdzie najczęściej robisz zakupy
