KEY
There is no formula for a bestseller. (1) (BRAK) Indeed (Indeed/Although/Besides/Anyway),
the only rule to follow is not to follow the rules the authors of the past bestsellers followed. In
this business, like anywhere else, innovation is a mother of success! However, if you used all
your (2) (BRAK) mental (brain/mental/intelligent/wise) capacity and still did not produced
any (3) (BRAK) stroke (stroke/hit/claim/saying) of genius, you have to consider taking some
(4) (BRAK) shortcuts (shortage/shortcuts/paths/shortpaths). Though creating a ground-
breaking (5) (BRAK) masterpiece (deed/masterpiece/finding/sell)) is out of your (6) (BRAK)
reach (hand/reach/catch/find), you can always hope to write a book that gets into the charts
for at least several weeks (and, in consequence, earns for you a (7) (BRAK) substantial
(substantial/deep/outstanding/breaking) six-figure sum).
The fastest way to (8) (BRAK) achieve (success/aim/succeed/achieve) it would be writing the
tenth part of Harry Potter (say, “Harry Potter and the Doom of Atlantis”). However, you may
come across (9) (BRAK) insurmountable (insurmountable/untenable/unyielding/unvarnished)
problems with copyrights. If this is the case, try writing a (10) (BRAK) sequel
(continue/sequel/sequence/part) of Tolkien’s Trilogy or an appendix to a play of the Bard:
Think of “Further Adventures of Romeo and Juliet” (for amateurs of happy-ends) or “Hamlet
Strikes Back” (target-group: New Age acolytes).
Remember that bestseller should be action-packed. A reader must not take their eyes of the
print till the last page. To let them (11) (BRAK) catch (have/catch/get/grab) their breath from
time to time (12) (BRAK) interweave (intercede/intervene/interweave/interstate) action with
romance, and, first of all, do not hesitate to make use of bold love scenes. In short, love and
action are what makes a book the best-selling book. Nothing more and nothing less.
I assure you that no matter whether you fail or not, after having written your first bestseller or
would-be bestseller (believe me, (13) (BRAK) posterity
(posteriority/posterity/pastity/posture) will certainly appreciate your greatest gift and
intellectual depth), you will, without doubt, realize one thing: It is easier to read a bestseller
than to write one. As the old saying (14) (BRAK) goes (gives/goes/moves/has): Easier read
than done.

Mozart Test
Wypełnij luki właściwymi słowami.
Everyone is (1) (BRAK) familiar with his name, even if (2) (BRAK) they have
absolutely nothing to do (3) (BRAK) with music. How can one describe the
genius of Mozart? The task is not an easy (4) (BRAK) one . (5) (BRAK) To say
that his talent was remarkable is scarcely scratching the surface of Mozart’s
gifts. His deeds (6) (BRAK) continue to stupefy scholars today for several (7)
(BRAK) reasons . Firstly, because of the quality and diversity of his
compositions. Mozart was a master of counterpoint, fugue, and so many other
traditional compositional devices of his (8) (BRAK) day lub time . In his works
every note, accent and inflection appears at the proper place at the proper time.
Moreover, Mozart is considered one of the greatest melody writers of all (9)
(BRAK) times .
The second unbelievable thing (10) (BRAK) about Mozart, is the pace of work.
During 35 years of his short life, he composed over 600 works, including 21
stage and opera works, 15 Masses, over 50 symphonies, 25 piano concertos, 12
violin concertos, 27 concert arias, 17 piano sonatas, 26 string quartets...the list
has no end. He was able to write the music (11) (BRAK) as easily and as quickly
as he could think. For all those and many more reasons Mozart’s music must be
counted among the absolute wonders of the world.
