***

It's essential to get to know and realize our surrounding world, people who live in it, their behaviors and stress-reactions, their thinking and point of views, their accidental hiding masquerade, and it's important and substantial to explore our realities (the root causes, the reasons and the main goal) and do our best to reach our aims with those beloved ones who love us avoiding unneccesary pain and needless stress.The more you give to others the more you get in return.
The sooner, the better. He gives twice who gives quickly.

Lényeges, hogy ismerjük meg a körülöttünk lévő világot, a benne lévő embereket, a viselkedéseiket, a stresszreakcióikat, a gondolkozásukat,  a mozgatórugóikat, a nézőpontjaikat, a jó, jobb kép mutatása mögött búvó esetleges hamisságot és mindebben a világban élve fedezzük fel azt, kik is vagyunk mi valójában, és a miérteket (okok és célok), s tehessünk meg végre mindent azért, hogy úgy élhessük az életünket, ahogy mi szeretnénk, s azokkal, akikkel mi szeretnénk, s akik velünk szeretnék, elkerülve a felesleges fájdalmakat, amikből sajnos enélkül is akad egy emberi életben elég.


Sokkal több múlik rajtunk, mint gondolnánk. Bocs a körmondatért.

1. ÉN ÉS A CSALÁDOM
I’m Peter S. My friends call me Soma and my family Peti. I’m twenty eight years old and I was born in Ajka on the sixteenth of October in nineteen seventy-nine. I’m single and about one hundred and eighty centimeter tall and weigh about seventy kilos. I work at a company called Continental here in Veszprém (a company manufacturing spare parts of the cars). I work as a quality engineer to be more precise measuring technician. I’ve been working there since the end of the last year. I like my job and my colleagues. I have to measure different dimensions on some head sensors every day and in the end I have to give the results about them to the customer.

2. AZ OTTHON ÉS A SZŰKEBB KÖRNYEZET

I come from a small-sized industrial town called Ajka, in the Centre of the Transdanubian region (from the western part of Hungary). Ajka is situated along the line diving the Bakony Hills region. Two important routes pass through here, to the north Highway 8, which runs east to west, and in the middle region, the Székesfehérvár-Szombathely railway line. The Torna stream flows through the inner part of the town. It has a population of 35.000. But sometimes there are a lot of people coming from villages to do the shopping. My town is about 130 kilometres far from the capital.

3. A MUNKA VILÁGA, NAPI TEVÉKENYSÉG
In fact, I need some time till I regain my senses in the morning. Being a heavy sleeper, it is very difficult for me to get up. I always set the alarm clock and wake up between 6 and quarter past 6 on weekdays. However, if I go to work in the afternoon I can get up later. I never have coffee, but I like drinking milk or cocoa, which I make myself. When I get up I go to the bathroom to wash. I wash my face, neck, ears and hands in cold running water and dry myself with a towel. Sometimes I take a shower or have a bath. Then I clean my teeth, don’t comb as I have short hair and I begin to get dressed. I am always in a hurry in the mornings so I don’t have time to prepare my breakfast therefore I make it in the previous evening. Anyway, I am never hungry in the morning.

Szóbeli tételek 4. - School

4. A TANULÁS VILÁGA
By the time I got the junior section of primary school called Veres Pálné, it was quite obvious that I was rather slow on the uptake. I was not one of those bright students who can easily cope with difficulties in subjects. I usually studied by fits and starts, which meant I sometimes failed to fulfil the requirements. When I didn’t know the material, I must confess, I used cheat sheets. Besides, I sometimes relied on other students and expected them to prompt. I had to wear a uniform at that school called cloak (gown).

Szóbeli tételek 5. - Me and others

5. KAPCSOLATOK MÁS EMBEREKKEL: MAGÁNÉLET ÉS KÖZÉLET

For everyday wear I like sports jackets, a pair of corduroys, pure woollen jumpers, cotton shirts with checked patterns. I like wearing baggy trousers or stretch jeans with a pair of sport or low-shoes. Blue jeans and denim skirts are extremely popular nowadays. They can be worn with everything and for everyday wear. They are durable, hard-wearing, washable and crease-resistant. In short they are practical for causal wear.
A man usually can wear a vest, a pair of underpants, a shirt, trousers, perhaps a waistcoat, a tie and a jacket or a single- or double-breasted suit. On his feet he wears a pair of socks and low-heel shoes with rubber or leather soles.

Szóbeli tételek 6. - Hobbies

6. SZABADIDŐ, SZÓRAKOZÁS, KULTÚRA

In fact, I don’t spend a lot of time on hobbies. At weekends I usually like only relaxing and pursue some hobbies that are collecting music and listening to the latest songs that I am interested in. Besides, I’m fond of watching and listening concerts on DVD. In these respects I take after my father a bit, because he has been a big collector since I knew him. I used to draw and used to pursue modelling when I was a child, but I gave it up because lack of the time. On these days in my spare time I like going on trips to the nature with my family or sometimes reading English topics on the Internet. I don’t keep any pets as I live in a freehold flat and in my opinion their place is not there. Other people keep dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea-pigs, parrots or have big tanks with goldfish or terrapins in them. Although, both cooking and baking cakes are not my line, I seldom make my favourite meals such as a French salad, a Hungarian lecsó or a pizza.

7. EGÉSZSÉG, EGÉSZSÉGMEGŐRZÉS, SPORT

Fortunately I am in good health and I can’t remember the time that I was last ill. I try to take care of myself; you know good health above wealth the saying goes. Although, I sometimes crawl without socks at home. Many people neglect their health and get a bad cold easily when the rainy weather sets in.

Szóbeli tételek 8. - Shopping

8. VÁSÁRLÁS ÉS SZOLGÁLTATÁSOK

I like window-shopping especially in a new shopping centre, but I rarely waste time doing it. If I want to buy something, I’ll go in the largest hypermarket and buy it. In my family every morning it is my dad who buys everything that we need such as bread or rolls, milk, some cold cuts and the basic food for supper and breakfast. He always buys different products for my grandmother mostly which are quite heavy. Thus we don’t need to do week-end shopping as other families do.

Szóbeli tételek 9. - Travelling

9. UTAZÁS

People often travel on business, for pleasure, for relaxation or even for education or for their health. I love it too, but the snag is that I can’t afford to travel as much as I’d like to. I’ve neither the money nor the time for it. But I usually go for a trip/journey at least once a year in summer. In a package tour you travel with others and follow a prearranged itinerary covering all the famous landmarks. You pay a single, all-inclusive price that covers everything such as transportation, meals, accommodation, sightseeing tours and guides. With independent travel you pay as you go and during the journey you can change your mind if you want to.

In Hungary in most houses the meals are breakfast, lunch and supper. Hungarian breakfast consists of milk or tea, some cold meals with a slice of bread spreading butter or rolls, different jams, honey and toast.
In an English home four meals are served: they are breakfast, lunch, tea and the most important meal of the day is the dinner. English breakfast consists of cornflakes, ham and eggs (boiled and fried) with tomato or mushrooms, buttered toast or bread and butter with marmalade and fish may be served. Some orange juice is drunk before breakfast and tea or coffee is drunk after it.

Szóbeli tételek 11. - Traffic

11. KÖZLEKEDÉS

I came here by car as I live in Ajka about thirty kilometres from here. If we hadn’t got a car, I must have taken the early morning coach to get here in time. Although it is not very cheap, I like driving. A car is always quick and comfortable. The traffic was not particularly heavy on the motorway and nothing out of the ordinary happened. I managed to park the car in the car park across the road. The whole journey from my home to here didn’t take more than half an hour.

13. TÁGABB KÖRNYEZETÜNK, A TERMÉSZET VILÁGA

Flora and fauna: Our flora and fauna are very similar to those of our neighboring countries and it is different, too. You can find grassy steppes here. We have all kinds of medicinal herbs, the use of which we have to relearn. We have oak trees on the lower slopes where the weather is warmer. Beech trees can be found more frequent above 600 meters. There are more pine woods near the border where the hills are higher. Foreigners like coming to hunt here in Hungary because we still have a lot of wild animals, hunting seems to be cheap for them and our hospitality is still well known. The kinds of game that can be found in our country: deer, mouflon, wild boar, pheasant, partridge, wild duck, dove, hare, wild goose, fox and many others.
Hungary is in the temperate zone and has a continental climate. This means that the weather is quite easily predictable and there are big differences between the weather in the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Occupying a relatively flat area in the Carpathian Basin, Hungary is protected from the extremes of weather by the mountain ranges encompassing her from almost all sides. Her climate is influenced by both moderate maritime and mild Mediterranean air currents. Temperatures above 30°C (degree) may occur in July and August but generally do not last long. January and February are the coldest months, but even then average temperature doesn’t fall below minus 5°C.

Szóbeli tételek 14. - Hungary

14. MAGYARORSZÁG
Hungary is situated in Central Europe at approximately an equal distance from the Equator and the North Pole. The country occupies a territory of about 93,000 square kilometers and there are about ten million people living here. There are nineteen counties. Our country can be divided into three large regions: Transdanubia, the Great Plain and Northern Hungary. The Transdanubian part is mainly hilly with the exception of the northern region, which is called the Small Plain. The soil is exceptionally good there for crops and vegetables. A similar area is a Great Plain, where most of Hungary’s crops are grown. Northern Hungary is fairly mountainous and the country’s highest peak can also be found there. Hungary belongs to the drainage system of Europe’s second largest river, the Danube. The Tisza is another long river and Lake Balaton is the second largest freshwater lake in Central and Western Europe.
