ÚVOD

Předložená pomůcka je zpracována pro přípravu ke zkoušce STANAG 6001, stupeň 1. Nenahrazuje systematickou přípravu, slouží k samostatné přípravě uchazečů o zkoušku. Předkládá výběr devatenácti konverzačních témat, s nimiž se u ústní části zkoušky nejčastěji setkáváme.

Struktura jednotlivých témat není totožná. Autorky vycházely z dlouholetých zkušeností, ukazující, která témata či konverzační situace jsou pro uchazeče nejobtížnější a jimž je tedy třeba věnovat více pozornosti.

Obtížnější témata jsou doplněna slovní zásobou a frázemi s českými ekvivalenty. Většina cvičení je doplněna klíčem. U některých konverzačních cvičení nebylo pochopitelně možné klíč zpracovat, protože odpovědi jednotlivých uchazečů jsou různé.

Autorky doporučují k procvičení konverzace využít konzultačních hodin v Self-Access Centre, kde si studenti rovněž mohou formou samostatného studia procvičit i ostatní dovednosti včetně gramatiky.

Samostatným oddílem je část WRITING, v níž uchazeči mohou najít návod k psaní jednoduchých sdělení ve formátu požadovaném v písemné části zkoušky.

Děkujeme Mgr. Jiřímu Dvořákovi a paní Julii Mezera za cenné připomínky, nezbytné ke zpracování jednotlivých témat.
