An event notice with separate arrangements

A learner reads this original Polish message: Spotkanie zaczyna się o siedemnastej. Jeśli masz już bilet, wejdź od strony ogrodu. Osoby bez biletu prosimy najpierw do kasy przy wejściu głównym. Po spotkaniu zapraszamy na herbatę. The learner notices wejście główne and chooses it for every participant, ignoring the condition about already holding a ticket. Another learner thinks tea occurs before the meeting because it is a familiar activity. The task is to identify the audience, the time and the sequence in the actual text. This fictional notice is not an official examination item and does not state a general rule for real venues. A short written reply can extend comprehension into communication practice.

1. Where should someone who already has a ticket enter, and why?

Read the worked answer

They should enter from the garden side. The condition jeśli masz już bilet applies to that group, while the main-entrance ticket desk is for people without tickets. Tea is after the meeting, as marked by po spotkaniu.

2. Write a short Polish confirmation using the message.

Mam już bilet. Przyjdę na spotkanie o siedemnastej i wejdę od strony ogrodu. The reply uses the actual arrangement rather than adding an unstated purchase or reversing the sequence.
