Part 2: Bratislava – the Capital City in the Heart of Europe (6 points)

Prečítajte si nasledujúci text. Rozhodnite o každom z tvrdení 48 – 53, či je pravdivé (A) alebo nepravdivé (B). Uveďte vždy aj označenie toho odseku (a) – (e), na základe ktorého ste rozhodli o pravdivosti alebo nepravdivosti daného tvrdenia. Vždy existuje iba jedno správne riešenie.


(a) I’ve been living in Bratislava long enough that some of my favourite things about the city aren’t the kind of things that make their way into a travel guide: like being able to rent an apartment downtown quite easily, going for my morning jog next to one of the world’s most famous rivers, using church bells as an alarm clock, and meeting some wonderful people.
(b) But for me, the best parts about Bratislava are things anybody can appreciate, no matter how much time you spend here. Like having a leisurely coffee on the pavement of a traditional street, or walking up to the castle hill to stare at the green hills and red roofs. Or the fact that the city is small enough that you can really feel like you know it, but big enough that you can always find something to do.
(c) Bratislava is unusual for a capital city because it’s located in the south-western corner of the country, instead of a more central location. It also has the distinction of having borders with two countries, Austria and Hungary.
(d) With its strategic location in the centre of so many historic powers and being on both sides of the Danube, it’s no wonder the city has such a multicultural and turbulent history, controlled by one invading nation after the next. It also served as the capital of Austrian-Hungarian Empire when the country was invaded by Turks.
(e) In recent years, Bratislava’s old town has been renovated and the city is slowly gaining a well-deserved reputation as a charming yet not expensive European capital. While it’s nowhere near as busy as Prague or Budapest, more people are arriving on cheap flights from other parts of Europe, or jumping off one of the ferry boats that cruise the Danube in the summer.

48) Bratislava is one of the relatively cheap capitals in Europe.

A) B)

53) Bratislava does not have the typical location of a capital city.

A) B)
Which of the paragraphs supports your answer?

Part 3: Nota Bene(7 points)

Prečítajte si nasledujúci text. Za textom nasledujú vety, v ktorých chýbajú slová 54 – 60. Doplňte ich. Doplňte jedno alebo dve slová.


The all-seeing TV camera is going to turn its attention to the homeless community. A candidate will get the opportunity to spend 72 hours on the street as a ‘real’ homeless person.
“We want to show that people from a ‘normal’ environment would behave similarly in situations that homeless people face,” said Jana Čavojská, editor-in-chief of Nota Bene street magazine.
The publication helps people without a roof, or those in difficulty, to survive and find a place in society. The civic organization Proti prúdu (Against the Stream), which publishes the magazine, is behind this first homeless reality show.
As a start, the participant will be given three copies of Nota Bene magazine and told a spot where they can go to sell them. This is the standard procedure for first-time sellers of the magazine.
The aim is to survive three days on the street with no means other than the money from the issues sold.
Regular Nota Bene salespeople will help to orientate the newcomer. They may invite the candidate to stay overnight with them, maybe in their caravan.

54) Nota Bene is a ________ publication which is sold by homeless people. (1 word)

55) First-time sellers are given ________ ________ of the publication. (2 words)

56) The first homeless reality show is the idea of a ________ institution. (1 word)

57) It is the normal ________ for first-time sellers to be told where to sell. (1 word)

58) These people have to ________ on the streets only with the money they earn from the magazine. (1 word)

59) The magazine ________ will give a hand to the candidate of this reality show. (1 word)

60) It is possible for the candidate to sleep in a ________ . (1 word)
