First encounters
What words do you use in English when you meet someone for the first time? Think of your own language: you talk to someone your own age differently than to an adult. In English, you should do this as well. So when you talk to someone, make sure you use language that fits the situation.
We make the distinction between informal language and formal language.
Informal Formal
Hi! I’m Danny. Good morning. My name is Danny Peterson.
Hey. What’s up?
Good afternoon, sir. How are things? How are you?
Nice to meet you. Pleased to meet you.
I’ve got to get going. Bye! Goodbye!
Have a good one! Have a good day.

a Write down three types of non-verbal communication. T 2
b Look at the image on the right. Write down two specific examples of non-verbal communication that you could use when you meet someone for the first time. I
Non-verbal communication: meeting the prince.
About me
Hi there!
My name is Caroline. I’m 13 years old and I’m British. I live in Durham (England). I have one brother and two sisters. All of them are younger than I am: Edgar is 11 years old, Kyla is 9 and Rose is 6 years old. We go to Durham School, a very old school that was founded in 1414. Interesting fact: they only opened the school to girls in 1985. Before that, it was just for boys.
My hobbies are playing tennis, hanging out with friends and baking cupcakes. I also love to read and write. Fantasy books are my favourite. I really enjoy the surprising things that happen in fantasy stories. That’s why I’m also a fan of old fairy tales, like Beauty and the Beast or Puss in Boots. When I grow up and finish school, I want to be a writer. This blog is to practise my writing skills and to share some things about my day-to-day life and my favourite books. Welcome to my blog!

a Is this introduction written in a formal or an informal way? Use three examples from the text to explain your answer. T 2
b What city is this guidebook about? T 1
c In the first line you read ‘how’s life’. Write down what you think this means. I
d What makes this introduction different from the other introductions you’ve heard and read in this lesson? I
I'm beautiful
Hey there! How’s life? It’s great to see you! I’m Berlin. I’m a beautiful, beautiful city. I’m the capital of Germany. I’m almost 800 years old. When I was a child, I wanted to be a country, or a beach. But, hey, I am happy to be a city now!
I’m heading to the city centre, where there are plenty of opportunities to eat delicious foods, shop for the nicest things and have a lot of fun. Will you meet me there? Come and visit me! I hope to see you soon!

10 English-speaking countries around the world
goal : You will learn what the Commonwealth is.
1 The first form of English is called Old English. It was spoken at the beginning of the Middle Ages in Great Britain. The current form of English, Modern English, has become a world language: it is spoken in a lot of countries worldwide. All lessons in 'People and stories' are about countries in which English is an important language.
a In which countries is English the main language, or one of the main languages? Write down at least five countries. T 1
b Have you ever been to an English-speaking country?
v If so, which one? What did you like about that country?
v If not, which one would you like to go to and why? T 1

a How many countries are there in the Commonwealth? T 1
b How do the countries work together? T 1
c How many people live in the Commonwealth? T 1
d Which two countries from the Commonwealth are mentioned in the text? T 1
e The text ends with the most important belief of the Commonwealth. What is this belief? T 1
Just like the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, France and some other European countries, Britain used to have many colonies. These colonies were countries elsewhere in the world that were taken over and led by Britain. When these countries became independent again, many of them joined together in the Commonwealth, in order to work together and help each other.
What is the Commonwealth?
The Commonwealth is a family of 53 countries from all over the world. We come from the Pacific, Africa, Asia, Europe, the Caribbean and the Americas.
We are all very different – but we work together. We share our skills and knowledge to help each other – and we share the same goals. There are LOTS of us in our family. And more than half of us are young people just like you. Imagine counting to over 2 billion; the number of people in the Commonwealth is 2,400,000,000!
Together we make up about 30% of all the world’s population. That’s one out of every three people on the planet! Some live on very small islands, like Nauru in the Pacific, or in very BIG countries like India in Asia.
But no matter where you are from, everyone in the Commonwealth is thought of as equal.

b Explain why English is the main language in so many countries in the world. T 1

We may be many but we work as one.
What we believe
Although we are all different, there are some things we all work together to achieve. We believe that everyone should be able to ...
v go to school to learn so they can lead a better life;
v get help from doctors when they need it;
v choose their own leaders and say what they think;
v live without fear of prejudice and racism.
v We believe girls and boys are equal.
v We all have different faiths and beliefs but we believe we can work and live together with respect.
We may be many but we work as one. That’s what is special about our Commonwealth.

1 Woordsoorten
1.1 Vraagwoorden
De belangrijkste vraagwoorden (question words) in het Engels zijn de 5 W’s en 1 H. Ze staan meestal aan het begin van een vraagzin, net zoals in het Nederlands. Who? Who is that boy?
What? What are your hobbies?
When? When is your football training?
Where? Where does he live?
Why? Why are you laughing?
How? How did you do that?
Daarnaast zijn er nog twee andere vraagwoorden die iets minder vaak voorkomen: Whose? Whose bike is this? Is it yours? Which? Which of these colours do you like most?
Soms lijken what en which in het Engels veel op elkaar. Ze kunnen allebei ‘welke’ betekenen, maar er is een klein verschil. Kijk goed naar de volgende zinnen: What sports do you like?
Which sport do you like better: football or horse-riding?
In de eerste zin is er een keuze uit een onbeperkt aantal sporten: je gebruikt what. In de tweede zin is er een beperkt aantal opties: je gebruikt which
v Opdrachten
1 Vul het juiste vraagwoord in. T 1 Kies uit who / what / when / where / why / how / whose / which.
a does she come from? Sweden?
b is coming to your birthday party tomorrow?
c …… are you feeling today? Better than yesterday?
d pizza do you want? Cheese or pepperoni?
e were you not at volleyball training? Were you ill?
f …… is your guitar lesson? Today or tomorrow?
g are you writing? I can’t read it.
h phone is this? I just found it here.
2 Vul het juiste vraagwoord in. Kies uit what / which.

b phone is yours? The black one or the white one?
c shoes do you like the most? These boots or those trainers?
d …… foods do you like?
e language is that? Spanish or Portuguese?
f subjects do you hate at school?
2 Werkwoorden, tijden en zinnen
2.1 Tijden van het werkwoord
Net als in het Nederlands geven werkwoorden in het Engels de tijd van de zin aan. In de volgende paragrafen maak je kennis met enkele werkwoordstijden (verb tenses) van het Engels.
2.1.1 Present simple De present simple komt overeen met de onvoltooid tegenwoordige tijd in het Nederlands. Je gebruikt de present simple in de volgende gevallen.
v feiten The sun rises in the east. v gewoontes All my classmates cycle to school every day. v iets wat regelmatig They often play football together. (niet) gebeurt
De volgende woorden wijzen vaak op een gewoonte of iets wat regelmatig gebeurt. Bij deze woorden gebruik je dus vaak de present simple. always / never / sometimes / usually / often / every day ...
Vervoeging present simple to walk to watch to study to go
I walk watch study go you walk watch study go
he / she / it walks watches studies goes we walk watch study go you walk watch study go they walk watch study go
Let op de spelling bij de derde persoon enkelvoud ( he / she / it ):
v Als het werkwoord eindigt op een sisklank voeg je een - e - toe :
I watch > she watches I push > he pushes
v Na een medeklinker + y verandert - y in - ies : I study > Helen stud ies
v Bij to go en to do zet je - es achter het werkwoord: I go > Mark go es I do > it does
Let op! Er zijn werkwoorden die de regels hiernaast niet volgen. Deze werkwoorden zijn onregelmatige werkwoorden. De vervoeging van de onregelmatige werkwoorden moet je uit je hoofd leren. v Zie paragraaf 2.3
v Opdrachten
1 Vul de juiste vorm van de present simple in en leg uit of er sprake is van een feit, een gewoonte of een regelmatigheid. T 1
a She never …… (wear) jeans to school.
b I …… (hate) beans. I know they are healthy, but they taste funny.
c The new radio presenter often (tell) great anecdotes in between the news items.
d Water …… (boil) at 100 degrees Celsius.
e The jokes of that young comedian always (make) me laugh.
f We like to travel by bike, but we (go) faster by train.
g He …… (play) the guitar like a madman.
h A vegan person only (eat) plant-based foods.
i Mark (go) to the television studio every Friday.
j The champion always …… (try) to solve the most difficult chess problems.
2 Zoek een kort Engels nieuwsbericht op internet. Druk het bericht af en markeer alle vormen van de present simple die je tegenkomt. Plak het bericht in je schrift. T 1
2.1.2 Present continuous Je gebruikt de present continuous als je praat over een handeling of gebeurtenis die:
v nu aan de gang is en tijdelijk is Please be quiet, I’m trying to study.
v zich in de toekomst afspeelt en
Ali and I are going to school by bus gepland of voorbereid is tomorrow.
v herhaaldelijk gebeurt en die je
The neighbours are always arguing, vervelend vindt (vaak met woorden I can hear it through the walls. als always, forever …)
Je vormt de present continuous met de tegenwoordige tijd van to be en de ing-vorm van het werkwoord.
I’m calling my sister.
Is he asking the teacher about our homework?
You’re not being very nice.
v Zie paragraaf 2.3.1
Let op de spelling van de ing-vorm. Als een werkwoord eindigt op één klinker + één medeklinker, wordt de medeklinker dubbel geschreven: They are travelling the world. (to travel)
Als het werkwoord eindigt op -e, kun je de -e weglaten: Dad is baking a delicious banana cake. (to bake)
3 Spelling
In de vorige paragrafen over woordsoorten en werkwoorden is al een aantal spellingsregels uitgelegd. Hieronder zie je ze nog eens op een rijtje.
Werkwoord dat eindigt met een sisklank of - o: voeg een - e - toe
v 3e persoon present simple:
He pushes the button. (to push)
Ellen goes to church every Sunday. (to go)
Medeklinker + y: y > ie v comparatives en superlatives:
It’s easier to wiggle your nose than to wiggle your ears.
v 3e persoon present simple:
She usually copies my notes. (to copy)
v 3e persoon past simple:
She copied my notes yesterday. (to copy)
Dubbeling van de medeklinker bij woorden die eindigen op één klinker + één medeklinker
v comparatives en superlatives:
Dory is the slimmest person in her family.
v past simple:
Roberto was so furious that he slammed the door. (to slam)
v ing-vorm:
I’m planning to visit my friend in Weert this weekend. (to plan)
Laat de -e weg bij werkwooden op - e:
v ing-vorm:
Abdul is making sandwiches. (to make)
3.1 Spelling van de meervoudsvorm
In het Nederlands gebruik je de meervoudsvormen -(e)n of -(’)s: huizen, auto’s en computers.
In het Engels vorm je het meervoud meestal door - s toe te voegen. Je gebruikt daarbij nooit een apostrof. house houses car cars computer computers
Uitzonderingen
- es
Woorden die eindigen op een sisklank krijgen in het meervoud - es bus buses flash flashes batch batches box boxes
Sommige woorden die eindigen op -o krijgen in het meervoud ook - es, maar andere volgen de normale regel. hero heroes tomato tomatoes photo photos studio studios
- y > ies
Als een woord eindigt met een medeklinker +y, vervang je -y in het meervoud door - ies baby babies party parties
Als er een klinker voor - y staat, krijgt het meervoud gewoon een - s. delay delays
- f(e) > - ves
Sommige woorden die eindigen op - f(e) eindigen in het meervoud op - ves leaf leaves knife knives scarf scarves wolf wolves
Maar veel woorden die eindigen op - f(e) volgen de normale regel. roof roofs safe safes giraffe giraffes
Onregelmatig meervoud
Sommige woorden volgen geen enkele regel in de vorming van het meervoud. Je moet ze uit je hoofd leren. Hieronder zie je enkele voorbeelden. child children* fish fish foot feet man men mouse mice
person people series series sheep sheep tooth teeth woman women*
* Let op dat de uitspraak van de eerste lettergreep ook verandert bij deze woorden in het meervoud.
