Whether it’s the magical animation of films such as the Toy Story series or the amazing adventures in the Pirates
of the Caribbean, most of us have enjoyed the creativity of Disney Studios at some point in our lives. From time
to time, Disney revisits themes or characters from previous films. This was the case with Mary Poppins,
the famous nanny that many of us will remember from the book. The most recent Mary Poppins was made in
2018 and was simply called Mary Poppins Returns. (5.1.) ____ It’s a truly fascinating story. I’m talking about
Saving Mr Banks, which is all about the making of one of Disney’s most popular and financially successful films,
Mary Poppins, first released in 1964.
So why should Disney revisit a film that was made around sixty years ago, and what makes it worth watching?
The attraction of this new film is the way it deals with the battle between two very talented, headstrong and
controlling personalities: Walt Disney and the eccentric writer P. L. Travers. After trying for twenty years,
WaltDisney finally managed to buy the rights to make a film based on Travers’ series of children’s books.
Surely, most writers would jump at the chance of having their characters immortalised in film by such a talented
individual as Disney. Not P. L. Travers. (5.2.) ____ The clash of these two headstrong personalities makes
compulsive viewing.

Tekst 1.
THE MOTHER OF ALL STORMS
It had taken Gerry a long time to drop off to sleep that night. The strength of the wind, funneling through the
trees behind the house with a deep throaty growl, was rising, and it worried him. As a child he had enjoyed
listening to the trees moaning in the wind, imagining himself riding a horse fearlessly through the storm on some
adventure or other. Now, as an adult, he appreciated the threat it posed. One branch of one of those trees could
crash through the roof and destroy his bedroom. There was nothing in the least romantic about such a picture.
It seemed he had only been asleep for a moment when he was suddenly wide awake again, his heart beating
fast. The wind wasn’t that loud, but heavy rain was now lashing against the windowpanes. What was it? Had he
had another nightmare? The room was fine, no tree branch pinning him to the bed! Then, just above the noise
of the storm he heard it. There was definitely a cry coming from outside. It wasn’t the wind or an animal. It was
a human cry, of that he was certain. He flung on his dressing gown before going downstairs to investigate.
Fumbling in the dark, he found the light switch, but there was no power. Blast, he thought. The storm must
have brought down the power lines. The skies were too overcast for any moonlight, so he made his way down
the stairs in complete darkness. He heard it again. A slight cry, carried away on the wind. Who could be at his
door in the middle of the night, in the middle of the mother of all storms?
As he approached the door, the cry became words that he could distinguish. ‘Gerry! Gerry! Hurry!’ it was
a female voice, full of urgency.
As he opened the heavy door, it was blown inward by the wind and nearly knocked him off his feet.
The downpour drenched his dressing gown. A woman stumbled into the hall just as the moon appeared from
behind the rainclouds. Gerry realised it was Karen, who lived in the house next door. Her face in the moonlight
was streaked with rain and dirt. She was panting as though she had just run a marathon.
‘Come in, come in. Sit down, Karen. You look terrible.’ Gerry tried to shut the front door again, but Karen
grabbed his arm.
‘There’s no time, Gerry!’ she shouted. ‘You’ve got to get out. We all have. The river’s burst its banks. Look!’
and she pointed across the garden.
Gerry stared at an amazing scene. The road was gone. The fields beyond the road were gone. The bottom of
his garden was under water. He could just make out the tops of the hedges that lined his garden. Of his beautiful
flowers there was no sign at all. The water stretched as far as he could see, and in the distance a few trees rose
up dark and wet, their branches tossing in the wind and casting crazy shadows on the water. It was as if he and
Karen were on an island. A thought briefly crossed his mind; it was like the Great Flood in the Bible. Then another
thought struck him. He turned to Karen.
‘We mustn’t panic,’ he said. ‘Trying to escape now would be madness. We won’t make it, I’m sure. Look, we’re
surrounded by water. I don’t even know how you managed to get here.’
W zadaniach 6.1.–6.4. z podanych odpowiedzi wybierz właściwą, zgodną z treścią tekstu. Zakreśl jedną z liter:
A, B, C albo D.
6.1. When he was a child, Gerry
A had a strong imagination and often made up stories.

A At first, Karen’s plan was to escape from the flood.
B The neighbour will spend the night at Gerry’s.
C Gerry was calm while talking to Karen.
D Gerry and Karen will probably be able to leave in the morning.
Tekst 2.
Viewers were appalled last night by pictures taken after recent heavy rain and gales hit the South-West coast.
Although the inhabitants of Cornwall are accustomed to severe weather conditions, this time the damage was
more widespread. The seaside town of Dawlish in Devon, for example, was left devastated by a combination of
fierce winds and high tides. According to a statement issued by the local crisis management centre, however,
houses were unaffected and nobody was hurt. Nevertheless, the power of the waves destroyed part of the sea
wall, exposing a section of the railway line that runs behind it to the sea. This had the effect of disabling all rail
transport along the coast. Pictures show that the ground below the track collapsed, leaving the rails suspended
in mid-air, still in one piece but buffeted by the gales.
This line was designed by the famous engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1846. At the time, concerns were
voiced about the safety of a railway line in such close proximity to the sea, but construction of the line went
ahead and it later became yet another impressive example of the engineer’s work. Such concerns were justified,
however, as the line had had to close on several occasions over the years because of extreme winter weather
damaging the sea wall, although none was as dramatic as yesterday’s.
Rail engineers today have estimated that repairs to the line will take a minimum of six weeks, although locals
believe that, taking into consideration the amount of damage caused by the storm, this is extremely optimistic.
Gales are expected to continue to batter the region over the next few weeks, further hindering any repair work,
and there are worries that other sections of the sea wall may also suffer from coastal erosion. Meanwhile, the
damage caused by the weather is likely to complicate the lives of people living and working nearby. Owing to
train cancellations, commuters are advised to find alternative forms of transport. As a result, car traffic is
expected to increase in the coming weeks, which means you need to get ready to leave home ahead of your
regular schedule in order to reach your destinations on time. If possible, you are advised to work from home.

An unannounced visit
The winters on Sullivan’s Island are usually quite mild, and it is a rare event indeed when a fire is considered
necessary in autumn. This year, however, October was remarkably chilly. Just before sunset I climbed all the way
through the evergreens to the hut of my friend, Legrand, whom I had not visited for several weeks as I was
residing at the time in Charleston, a distance of nine miles from the island. When I reached the hut, I knocked on
the door, as was my custom, and, getting no reply, I searched for the key in its customary hiding place, unlocked
the door, and went in. A fine fire was blazing in the fireplace. I felt grateful for the warmth and the cosy
atmosphere I found there. I threw off my coat, settled myself in an armchair by the crackling woodfire,
and patiently waited for the owner to return.
He returned soon after dark, and gave me a very warm welcome. Jupiter, my friend’s companion, grinning
from ear to ear, rushed to the kitchen to prepare supper. Legrand was amazingly cheerful and enthusiastic.
He had found an unknown shellfish, and, furthermore, had spotted and caught a scarab beetle which he believed
to be another newly discovered species, but he wished to get my opinion the next day.
‘And why not tonight?’ I asked, rubbing my hands over the fire.
‘Ah, if I had only known you were here!’ said Legrand, ‘but I haven’t seen you for such a long time, so how
could I know you would pay me a visit this very night? As I was coming home I met Lieutenant G., and, very
foolishly, I lent him the beetle, so it is impossible for you to see it before the morning. Stay for the night, and I will
send Jup down for it at sunrise. It is the loveliest thing I’ve ever seen!’
‘What? – sunrise?’
‘No! – the beetle. It is of a brilliant gold colour – about the size of a large hickory-nut, with two jet black spots
on its back.’
The narrator decided to visit a friend, Legrand, whom he hadn’t seen for a few weeks. The weather on the island
where Legrand lived was unusual for the time of year – it was (7.1.) ___________________________________.
As always, he knocked on the door, but nobody answered, so he (7.2.) __________________________________
and went in. His friend and his companion arrived soon after. The narrator found his friend
(7.3.) ___________________________________, which was probably the result of Legrand having found
something interesting while out walking. It was a new species of scarab beetle, and he wanted to show it to the
narrator. Unfortunately, it was only possible (7.4.) ___________________________________ because Legrand
had lent it to somebody else.
