Képek általában minden vizsgán szerepelnek. De mit kellene, és mit lehet mondani róluk? Ebben a leckében ehhez szeretnénk segítséget nyújtani úgy, hogy bemutatjuk, ugyanarról a képről mind a három fokon lehet beszélni. Természetesen csak ötleteket adunk, amit mindenki kiegészíthet még a sajátjaival.
Őszi táj és hétköznapi tevékenységek
Autumn is a beautiful season, especially the first part of it, when the weather is still nice and warm. This period is called Indian summer. Autumn consists of three months: September, October and November. In this season the leaves fall from the trees and people have to rake them. Autumn is the time of harvest. Lots of fruits are ripe then, e.g. apples, pears, grapes, walnuts. People pick them from the trees and preserve them or just put them in cool and dry places for the winter. Autumn is a season full of colours. The leaves are red, yellow and brown and the fruits are also colourful. The market in autumn is quite a nice sight with the various colours. In November the weather usually gets worse; it is foggy and rainy and it turns cold. The days are shorter and shorter and darkness comes earlier and earlier. Animals - like squirrels - prepare for winter in autumn. They collect nuts, walnuts and acorns and their fur becomes thick.
These elements describe a classic autumn scene: colorful leaves, harvest fruits, and animals preparing for winter. A leírás egy központi képen megjelenő évszakhoz kapcsolódó egyszerű, beszédhez alkalmas megfigyelést ad. Röviden bemutatja a három hónapból álló időszakot, a lombhullást, a termés betakarítását és a folyó színek gazdagságát.

Autumn is a three-month period after summer when the weather gets gradually cooler. By the end of November, the weather is usually so cold that it’s almost like winter, with fog, mist and lots of rain. Autumn rain is steady and difficult to bear, it’s not like the refreshing summer showers. In September and October, the leaves fall from the trees and form a beautiful and colourful leaf-litter on the ground. Children usually enjoy jumping into the fallen leaves that their parents have raked into heaps. The leaves are of different colours - red, yellow and brown. Autumn is the season for harvesting various fruits and vegetables. Autumn is a busy period for people who have a garden. Raking the leaves, cutting the grass, harvesting the crop, preparing the soil for winter, fertilizing and planting certain plants all need to be done. Preserving the autumn fruits and vegetables is also a demanding task. You can make preserves, can store the fruits and vegetables in the cellar or the pantry or you can put some of the crop in the freezer. A pantry prepared for winter with a lot of home-made preserves and pickles on display is a nice sight and is something to be proud of.
Ez a része a képről szóló általános megfigyeléseket és gyakorlati tevékenységeket foglalja össze: hogyan alakul az időjárás, hogyan tálalódik a hurrikánmentes őszi hangulat, és hogyan készülnek a házi fixált megoldások a télre.
Őszi életforma és személyes élmények
We have a big garden at home. Usually, my parents do the gardening, but I don’t mind working in the garden either. But I prefer going to the woods in autumn weather when the sun is shining to see the incomparable colours nature is so full of. Sometimes I spot squirrels, hedgehogs, rabbits, different birds and owls. After a trip like that, I go home relaxed and refreshed. I must say that autumn is my favourite season, though I know that few people would say that and would mention summer instead. Every season has its beauties as this picture collage also suggests. Autumn is obviously no exception. The pictures take a closer look at these beauties.
In autumn deciduous trees shed their brightly coloured leaves, daylight becomes shorter and shorter and temperatures considerably cool down. Autumn marks the transition from the warm, shiny summer months to the cold and bleak winter months, the darker half of the year. At least it was true for past autumns before the climate change has taken its toll and radically changed the seasons. Today’s autumns are not so easy to characterize.
Kulturális megemlékezések és ünnepek
Autumn is not without remarkable celebrations, though. Thanksgiving Day, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day and the highly commercialized Halloween with its pumpkins, jack-o’-lanterns, witches, skeletons, and monsters. The purpose and symbolism of Thanksgiving Day, All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day are clear. People give thanks for a good harvest and the preceding year on Thanksgiving Day and remember their deceased loved ones on All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. But how does Halloween come into the picture? It has been observed in Europe only recently, it’s a typically American phenomenon. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, Halloween fancy dress parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, playing pranks, telling frightening stories and watching horror films. Shops are full of scary costumes, masks and Halloween chocolate so that people wouldn’t have to wait till Santa Claus and Christmas come if they want to throw money out of the window.

Tipikus kimenet az angol vizsgára - hogyan gondolkodjunk a képről
Képleírási gyakorlat: You’re looking at a set of autumn pictures showing the different aspects of this season. They’re painting eggs, they’re preparing for Easter. The girls are quite funny in their bunny headbands. The table is full of nicely painted colourful Easter eggs. There are beautiful spring flowers in colourful pots on a shelf behind the family. The walls are decorated with paper bunnies and little flags. We celebrate Easter in spring, in March or in April. It’s a holiday, when people don’t have to work and they can be together with their family. The children get a lot of chocolate. The Easter Bunny hides chocolate figures and small presents in the garden and children can go for an Easter egg hunt. The weather is usually mild at Easter and you can wear light clothes. Families meet and have a meal together, usually something special and delicious. Some families go to church to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.
