TRANSFORMACJE
Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it is as similar as possible in meaning to the sentence printed before it.
Te ćwiczenia są bardzo typowe dla wszelkich egzaminów; transformacje takie wymagają absolutnego zachowania znaczenia przekształcanych zdań, co w praktyce oznacza, że musimy zidentyfikować konstrukcje o tym samym znaczeniu; najlepiej wyuczyć się par ekwiwalentnych konstrukcji - transformacje bazują na stałych elementach; polecamy tutaj "Structural conversion" M.Misztala lub zbiory ćwiczeń i podręczniki do egzaminów FC i Advanced; istotną sprawą jest użycie ustalonej konstrukcji - jeśli nawet przepiszemy zdanie, zaczynając tak, jak podano, ale stworzymy własną wersję, np. rozbudowując zdanie, by ominąć nieznaną strukturę, zapewne nie zyskamy tu punktu, np.:
