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.

Svou adresu napište do pravého horního rohu (1). Neuvádějte své jméno.
Datum pište pod svou adresu (2). Neuvádějte adresu příjemce. Oslovujte pouze křestním jménem (3). Začátek dopisu by měl být přátelský. Jestliže je v zadání zmíněn dopis,
který jste obdrželi, odvolejte se na něj na začátku dopisu. Lze používat zkrácené tvary jako např. you’re (4).
