- Books can be returned either directly to the library […]
- Metroteka quietly transforms daily routines into cultural moments.
- By meeting people where they are, literally underground […]
The underlined words are all
An open invitation to all
For Makowski, the location is just as important as the books. “Opening a library in a metro station is like a dream for us,” he says. “Libraries should be beautiful and open; inviting, not intimidating. It’s not a shrine, but a place where you can spend time freely, take part in discussions, public consultations, or meet people.”
In the coming months, Metroteka plans to host author readings, workshops, and classes to further engage the community. Books can be returned either directly to the library or via parcel lockers outside the station, available around the clock.
As commuters pass through Kondratowicza station with coffee in hand and a novel tucked under one arm, Metroteka quietly transforms daily routines into cultural moments. By meeting people where they are, literally underground, the library isn’t just promoting reading. It’s redefining what public space can offer.
You, an English teacher, decided to use the last part of the article to teach fixed phrases, idiomatic expressions and phrasal verbs to your students. After reading the article, you found three good examples to use during your class. Before explaining, you ask your students to guess their meanings. All your students’ guesses can be considered correct in the context of the article, EXCEPT
In Warsaw’s Targówek district, a metro ride has become more than a daily routine. Now it offers a chance to escape into a story. Thanks to Metroteka, a newly opened subterranean library inside the Kondratowicza M2 metro station, commuters can now trade mindless scrolling for meaningful reading.
The 150-square-meter space is stocked with more than 16,000 books, all available through a fast self-checkout system. Visitors can also borrow laptops, sip complimentary coffee, and unwind in a cozy communal area, all while waiting for their train.
“Our dream is for Metroteka to become an educational and cultural center, and not just a place where you can borrow your books from,” says Grażyna Strzelczak-Batkowska, deputy director of the Targówek library.
Choose the alternative that best describes Metroteka.
Considering paragraphs 01, 02 and 03 of the article, choose the alternative that best describes Metroteka.
I. In ‘Those who saw reproductions saw only an eight percent drop’, ‘who’ is a relative pronoun.
II. In ‘your quiet moment with an original painting could be supporting your long-term health in ways you cannot feel immediately’, there are two examples of modal verbs.
III. In ‘Those who saw reproductions saw only an eight percent drop’, ‘an’ is an example of preposition.
IV. In ‘The results were striking’, ‘the’ is an example of indefinite article.
Which statements are completely accurate?
Choose the correct alternative about the way the study was conducted.
I. Ethical conduct cannot always be reduced to fixed rules.
II. Professionals may need to apply judgment in situations not explicitly regulated.
III. Personal benefit should guide ethical decisions whenever rules are absent.

Read text I and answer the question that follow it.
TEXT I
The Growing Complexity of Airspace
The aviation industry has witnessed unprecedented growth in recent years. The number of flights, both commercial and private, has surged, resulting in a more congested airspace. This increased traffic volume places immense strain on air traffic controllers, who must manage a complex web of aircraft movements with precision and efficiency.
Moreover, the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) into the airspace adds another layer of complexity. While drones offer various benefits, their unregulated use poses significant risks to commercial aviation. Harmonizing the operations of manned and unmanned aircraft is a major challenge that requires careful consideration and robust regulations.
Despite advancements in aviation technology, the air traffic control system still relies heavily on outdated infrastructure and systems. Many air traffic control centers operate with aging equipment that is prone to failures and lacks the capacity to handle the increasing volume of traffic. This infrastructure gap can lead to delays, inefficiencies, and safety concerns.
Furthermore, the integration of new technologies, such as advanced automation and data analytics, has been slow. While these technologies hold the potential to revolutionize air traffic management, their implementation has been hindered by various factors, including cost, interoperability, and cybersecurity concerns.
Air traffic control is a high-pressure job that demands exceptional focus, decision-making skills, and situational awareness. While air traffic controllers undergo rigorous training, human error remains a significant risk factor. Factors such as fatigue, stress, and workload can contribute to mistakes that have serious consequences. […]
The increasing reliance on technology in the aviation industry has made it a prime target for cyberattacks. Air traffic control systems are critical infrastructure and must be protected from malicious actors. A successful cyberattack could have catastrophic consequences, including loss of life and economic damage. […]
Addressing the problems facing air traffic control requires a multi-faceted approach involving collaboration between government agencies, aviation industry stakeholders, and technology providers.
