Pamela comes from Northern Ireland, which is a part of Great Britain. She lives in Belfast. The countryside in Northern Ireland is beautiful and green.

Paul comes from a city called Swansea in Wales.

He speaks Welsh as well as English because both his mother and father know the Welsh language, and he learnt it at home as a child.

Robert lives in Edinburgh, which is the capital of Scotland. There is a big castle on a hill overlooking the city.

Jill comes from Battersea in London. It lies south of the River Thames, only 10 minutes on the underground from the centre. eleven 11

Pamela from Northern Ireland Pamela comes from Belfast in Northern Ireland. It is a beautiful city on the east coast of the country with hills and mountains around it. It is well known because the famous ship, Titanic, was built there and because of the conflict between Catholics and Protestants.

Pamela comes from a Protestant family and goes to a school where all the pupils are Protestants. Her mother and father have several relatives in Scotland and she has a grandfather in Glasgow.

In clear weather you can see across the sea to Scotland.

Northern Ireland is a part of Great Britain. This can be seen in the school system, money system and stamps, which are all British. But the people speak with an Irish accent, which sounds a 12 twelve

bit like American English.

Pamela loves Scottish and Irish dancing and plays in a folk music group in her spare time. She also plays the piano and loves singing.

Pamela is just back from her holiday, which she spent on her grandmother’s farm on the coast. She met cousins, nephews and several different animals there and they all had a great time. She was especially fond of the ponies. Every day she went riding and it was great to play with her relatives. But she spent most of her time with her new boyfriend, Sam, who comes from a neighbouring farm. They write SMS to each other all the time.

Unit 1 – Back to school

Paul from Wales Paul lives in a city in Wales called Swansea, which is by the sea. The name Swansea has Viking origins – it comes from the Norse “Sveins øy”. Paul’s family comes from the countryside and he was taught Welsh before he learnt English.

Paul spent his summer holiday in London and this is a letter he wrote to his best friend about it.

Dear Fred,

Thanks for the letter about your holiday. It seemed great fun, especially when your dad fell overboard into the canal. You must tell me all about the canal trip when we meet.

My trip to London with my family was really great. We went to the zoo one day and I enjoyed it a lot. I saw pandas, pola r bears, snakes and monkeys. The monkeys were so funny and one was teasing her mother, but the elephants seemed unhappy.

We also went cruising on the Thames and we saw all the sights from the river. One of the highlights was a visit to Madame Tussaud’s wax museum, where I saw lots of famous people. I thought a guard was made of wax, but then he suddenly moved! It’s scary how real some of them look.

We stayed in a B & B* and went to Pizzaland and McD onalds to eat.

I had hamburgers for lunch and pizza for dinner. We also went to some museums and the dinosaur in the Natural Hist ory Museum was huge. It was 26 metres long.

* B & B is short for Bed and Breakfast. It is a small hotel with beds and English breakfast, which is usually cereal, bacon, eggs and toast.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Best wishes,

Paul

Hello, Robert!

Robert lives in Edinburgh. He is very proud to be a Scotsman. When he is older he will get a kilt, which many Scotsmen – and Prince Charles – wear. But it will cost over £ 600, so he has to wait until he has finished growing. His father, who is a lawyer, belongs to the Macleod clan from the Isle of Man. Since his father wants his son to have a good education, Robert goes to a very good private school called George Harriot’s.

His mother takes him there every day.

Here is an interview with Robert from Edinburgh. He has been abroad during his holidays.

You: Robert: You: Robert: You: Robert:

You: Robert:

Where did you go this summer, Robert?

I went with my family to a Greek island.

Was it fun?

Yes, it was great, but I got sunburnt on the first day. It was so hot!

What did you do there?

We went swimming and paddling.

One day we went on a pirate ship and had a barbecue.

The captain dived from the top of the mast, and I dived from the side of the ship. I’ve never dived from such a height before. But I had to stay in my room one day because I’d turned all pink from the sun. Then I watched a video and did some reading.

Do you think it’s a good place to spend a holiday?

Yes, it was fun, but you have to be careful with the sun.

Unit 1 – Back to school

Some facts about Wales ... and Scotland • Wales has its own history and its own language.

• In 1982 the people of Wales got their Welsh-speaking channel on TV. It is based in Cardiff, which is the capital of Wales.

• The railway station with the longest name in the world is called Llanfairpwllgwyngyll gogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantisiliogogogoch.

Many tourists come to visit it just because of its name. In fact, there is nothing else to see there.

There is a short form of the address, which is easier to use for the post: “Llanfairpwllgwyngyll”, or simply “Llanfair P.G.”.

• The population is 5 078 400 inhabitants.

• Scotland was a separate country till 1707.

• The capital is Edinburgh, with a population of 453 600, but Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland with its 571 600 inhabitants. You can still see men in kilts walking in the streets.

Scottish people are very proud of their origin and their traditions. The countryside is very scenic with lots of mountains and lakes called lochs.

• Scottish football is famous for the matches between the two teams in Glasgow - Celtic and Rangers. Celtic is the team for the Catholics, who live in the poorer part of the city, and Rangers is the ‘‘Protestant’’ team from the more wealthy part. Several Norwegian players have played for Scottish teams, for instance Tore André Flo. • Outside Inverness there is a big lake called Loch Ness. In it there is a famous Sea Monster called Nessie. Several people have seen it, but it has never attacked anyone.

Unit 1 – Back to school

Jill Jill comes from Battersea just outside central London. She lives with her mother in London.

Last summer she stayed at home in London with her mother, but this summer she spent her holidays in Scotland with her dad, who moved to Glasgow some time ago. She thought it was great to be together with him during the summer holidays. They had a great time together. Her father is fond of outdoor life and they went camping, fishing and hiking together. They camped by a lake and Jill caught a trout one afternoon. She was very proud and her dad fried it for dinner.

Jill is now back in London, and she is bored while waiting for school to start. But luckily her best friend Katie is also back so they spend most of their spare time together. Katie has been to Jamaica to visit her relatives, and Jill wants to know what it was like. On the next page you can read about their first meeting.

But what was most fun was when she tried waterskiing. She fell over a few times, but after some time she succeeded. The worst thing was when her dad’s car broke down in the middle of nowhere, but it wasn’t surprising since the car was old and rusty. What would you expect from an old car like that?

She liked it in Scotland, but she is happy she lives in London and not in Glasgow. Even though the people she met were friendly, their English was a bit strange and in winter it must be boring with too few things to do.

seventeen 17

Jill and Katie Jill: Hi, good to see you again! How are you

and what was Jamaica like?

Katie: It was lovely to see my family and all my

cousins and aunts and uncles. We had a

lot of barbecues and went swimming in

the blue sea. Jamaica is a beautiful

island with lots of trees and mountains,

you see. What have you been doing

this summer holiday?

Jill: I went up to Scotland with my dad and

we went fishing and hiking in the

mountains. We also went canoeing on a

lake one morning. We had a great time

and the weather was mostly good.

Katie: You know something? Wouldn’t it be great

if you could come with me to Jamaica?

We could go to the beach together

and swim and go surfing on one of those scooters.

18 eighteen

Jill:

Katie:

Jill:

But isn’t it very expensive? I don’t think we can afford it and I don’t think my mum would let me. But it would have been fun. Maybe some time in the future.

Yes, I think it’s very expensive. We’ve only been to Jamaica twice since I came here.

But it would have been nice to show you all the sights and do things together with somebody I know. My cousins from Jamaica are so different from me, so sometimes I felt lonely there.

It’s great to see you again. I’ve been feeling a bit lonely myself this last week before the beginning of term. There was nobody to play with, and my mum was working, so I had to do the cooking. Let’s go and meet the others in our class.

So everybody is back at school, even in Britain.

Unit 1 – Back to school

It’s good to see you again It’s the first week of September and Pamela, Jill, Paul and Robert are all back at school. In Britain they start school later in the autumn than in Norway, but when we are on holiday in July, they are still at school. The best part of starting school after the summer is being able to see all your friends again.

Robert is back at school after his holiday in Greece. He’s not pink any more, but tanned. He can’t wait to see his friends again, and the first one he meets is his best friend Jim, who has a brand-new bike.

Robert and Jim Robert: Hi, nice to see you again! What a

beautiful bike you’ve got. Is it new?

Jim: Yes, I got it for my birthday and it’s got

21 gears. Isn’t it a beauty?

Robert: Lucky you! I only have my old bike.

Look at it!

Jim: But you’ve been abroad, haven’t you?

Robert: Yes, I have, and I dived from a high boat.

I went swimming a lot ... and I tried to

surf, but I fell off.

Jim: I’ve only been to my Granny’s in

Northumberland, but we visited a

pleasure pool with a slide around it in

Tynemouth several times. That was great

fun. Shall we go swimming in the pool

here after school?

Robert: Sorry, but my Grandad’s staying with us,

so I can’t today. What about tomorrow? I

want to show you how good I am at diving.

Jim: Oh, there’s the school bell, so we’d better

hurry. I don’t want to stay behind on

detention on the first day of term!

Fun with numbers Counting: Count from 1 – 20.

Which numbers are difficult for Norwegians?

Do you know the spelling of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13?

Say 3, 13 and 30.

Say 4, 14 and 40.

Say 5, 15 and 50

Look at the sentence.

I’m taking two pigs to the market, too

What is the difference between to, two and too? Is there a difference in how we say them?

Can you put each one into a senten

What is the difference between three and tree?

How do you say eight and eat, and great and greet?

Say 5, 15 and 50. For 15 [fftin] there is a stress (trykk) on the last part.

For 50 there is a stress only on the first part like this: [fft].

For 40 the stress is like this: [fɔt].

In English we say four minus [manəs] two is two (4 – 2 = 2).

Can you read all the numbers on this page?

Big dinos Paul could not forget the enormous dinosaur which he had seen in the Natural History Museum.

He kept talking about it to his brother all the time afterwards. When he was younger he had collected a lot of toy dinos after he had seen a dinosaur exhibition in a museum. He also remembered seeing a film about dinosaurs, which he thought were big and ugly ...

That night he dreamt about all kinds of dinos coming to his grandmother’s house outside Swansea.

Look at the drawing to see what his dream was like.

School visit Here we are going to introduce you to two visitors from Britain on a trip to Norway. It is important to say Britain because that includes people from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as England. At the end of August they went on holiday to Norway and here are some of the things they did.

26 twenty-six

We’d like you to meet Joanne and Peter. They are both 12 years old and they come from Chester in England. When we meet them they are visiting their Norwegian uncle and English aunt in a small town in Norway. They have made friends with their two Norwegian cousins, Steinar and Karen, who are a year older than them.

Unit 1 – Back to school

The two English visitors have been invited to spend a day at school with their friends. The evening before, they sit down to discuss what they are going to do.

Peter: What time do you start in the morning?

Steinar: We start at half past eight and my first

lesson is English. You can walk to

school with me if you like.

Joanne: Fine! At least we’ll understand what’s

going on in the English lessons.

Steinar: After that I have a PE lesson and you

can play football with my class.

Joanne: But do the girls play football with the boys?

Karen: Yes, we do. But I want you to come

with me. I have two lessons about

Norwegian fairy tales and then cookery.

Joanne: Good! Then I can learn about trolls

and after that, taste what your cooking

is like. I like the waffles very much.

Karen: I don’t think we’ll be making

waffles, but you can come with me

because we’ve got cookery for the rest

of the day.

Steinar: Peter, you can come with me after PE

when we’ll have maths, Norwegian

and science.

Peter: What about lunch?

Steinar: You must both make your own

sandwiches. We always buy milk at

school and we’re allowed to sit in the

classroom and eat. I usually have

“knekkebrød” and brown cheese with

me. I wrap it in greaseproof sandwich paper.

Karen: I’ll bring sandwiches with brown

cheese and ‘‘fårepølse’’. I like my

mother’s home-baked bread best.

twenty-seven 27

Joanne: What are “knekkebrød” and “fårepølse”?

Steinar: Dad! Come and help me. How do I

explain what “knekkebrød’’ and

‘‘fårepølse” are in English?

Dad: “Knekkebrød” is crispy bread like

Ryvita and “fårepølse” is like salami;

thin slices, which we put on our bread.

Norwegian kids like it very much and

of course brown cheese, which we also

put on our bread.

Joanne: Doesn’t sound very tasty to me. At

home I take a chicken leg or a bun,

crisps, an apple and a chocolate bar

with me.

28 twenty-eight

Karen: We’re not allowed to eat chocolate or

chewing gum at school. But many do anyway.

Joanne: Do you have to wear a school

uniform? In our school we do. Mine

is navy blue with blue skirts, white

shirts and blue striped ties for us girls.

Karen: No, we don’t have school uniforms in

Norway. We normally wear jeans or

whatever is in fashion, you know.

In Norway not even the teachers wear

a tie.

Peter: We’re not allowed to wear jeans or

trainers at school. They say it looks scruffy.

Steinar: We always wear trainers and jeans. You

must remember to bring a towel, your

sportswear and a book to write in. The

rest you can share with me.

Peter: OK, it’ll be interesting to spend a day

in a Norwegian school. I hope they’ll

understand me when I speak English.

Unit 1 – Back to school

Where do all the teachers go?

Pupils sometimes wonder about what their teachers are like when they are not at school. Peter Dixon wrote a poem about this.

Where do all the teachers go When it’s 4 o’clock?

Do they live in houses And do they wash their socks?

I’ll follow one back home today I’ll find out what they do!

Then I’ll put it in a poem That they can read to you.

Do they wear pyjamas And do they watch TV? And do they pick their noses The same as you and me?

Do they live with other people Have they mums and dads?

And were they ever children And were they ever bad?

Did they ever, never spell right Did they ever make mistakes?

Were they punished in the corner if they pinched the chocolate flakes?

Did they ever lose their hymn books Did they ever leave their greens?

Did they scribble on the desk tops Did they wear old dirty jeans? twenty-nine 29

Secret

“Hey, Katie, I have something to tell you!”

“What’s that?”

“I found out when I got pulled up for talking.”

“Go on then.”

“You know that Sir put me outside the classroom.”

“So what?”

“Well, that was when I saw them! They were walking...”

“Saw who?”

“Along the corridor outside the Maths room.”

“Oh yeah?”

“You should have seen my face! I just sat gaping!”

“At what?”

“They never saw me, though. I kept my head down.”

“Well, tell me!”

“They were holding hands and her head was on his shoulder!”

“What next?”

“They stopped outside the Maths room and turned round.”

“Yes, but who?”

“Face to face, and gazing at each other.”

“Tell me, do!”

“He kissed her and she had her arms around...”

“For heaven’s sake!”

“His neck! I’ll have to run or I’m in trouble.”

“Wait, not yet!”

“I’ll tell you, but promise it’s a secret -” “Yes, yes!”

“Crikey! There’s the bell - I’ll have to hurry.”

“I promise!”

“Don’t tell anybody else I told you!”

Fables The magic horse will take us to the country where animals talk like humans, and in fact act like people. But the animals often behave badly, and because they are animals we can see their faults better. The Fox, who cheats both people and other animals, is one of the cleverest animals of all.

The Fox and the Goat Fox went walking in the woods and fell into a well.

“This well is very deep,” Fox thought sadly to himself.

“And I cannot jump very high.

How will I get out again?”

Just then a thirsty Goat passed by.

“Hello, Fox,” said the Goat.

“Why are you down the well?”

“Oh, Goat,” replied clever Fox, “I came to get a drink, of course.

This water is the finest in the wood.”

“Is it?” asked Goat.

“It is,” said Fox. “But come and taste for yourself.

I’m sure you will agree.”

So Goat jumped down into the well.

When Goat had had a drink, he said, “This water is as sweet as it can be.

But tell me, Fox, how will we get out again?”

“That’s easy,” said the Fox. “If you will stand very still, I can climb upon your back.

And as soon as I am out, I will pull you up.”

So Goat stood still and Fox climbed out.

But then Fox turned and walked away.

“Oh, please!” Goat called to Fox. “Don’t go!

How will I get out again?”

“Don’t ask me,” the Fox replied.

“You should have looked before you leaped – and asked yourself the question then ...”

The well is 2,75 metres deep from the top to the water. The water at the bottom is 50 cm deep. How deep is the well altogether?

Can we learn anything from this tale?

Here is a story about a man and a wife who always wanted more.

They were lucky and got hold of this fantastic goose.

The goose that laid the golden egg A very poor farmer called Edward used to dream all day long about becoming very rich. One morning he was in the milking shed, dreaming about owning a large herd of cows, when his wife called to him, “Edward, just look what I have found!

Oh, this must be the most wonderful day of our lives!”

As he turned to his wife, Edward rubbed his eyes in disbelief. For there stood his wife, with a goose tucked under her right arm – and a perfect golden egg in her left hand. She laughed happily as she said, “No, no, you’re not dreaming now. We really do have a goose that lays golden eggs. Oh, just

think how rich we will be if she lays an egg like this every day. We must give her the best treatment possible.”

During the weeks that followed, that is exactly what they did. Each day they led her to the lush green grass by the village pond, and each night they settled her down on a bed of straw in the warmer corner of the kitchen. And not a morning passed without the appearance of a golden egg.

Edward bought more land and more cows. But he knew he would have to wait a long time before he became very rich.

Unit 2 – Animals

“It’s taking too long”, he finally said one morning.

“I’m tired of all this waiting. Our goose obviously has a huge collection of eggs inside her. I think we should take them all out now!”

His wife agreed. She no longer remembered how happy she had been before she discovered the first golden egg. She handed over a knife and within a few seconds Edward had killed the goose – and cut it open.

Once again he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. But this time his wife did not laugh, because the dead goose did not contain a single egg. “Oh Edward!” she cried.

“Why were we so greedy? No matter how long we wait, we’ll never become rich now.”

And from that day on Edward never dreamed about becoming rich again.

There is an English proverb which says: “Don’t kill the goose that lays the golden egg.”

What do you think it means?

Mice I think mice Are rather nice.

Their tails are long, Their faces small, They haven’t any Chins at all.

Their ears are pink, Their teeth are white, They run about The house at night.

They nibble things They shouldn’t touch.

And no one seems To like them much.

But I think mice Are nice.

The boy who cried “wolf” Once there was a shepherd boy who looked after the sheep for all the people in his village. Some days it was fine in the hills, and the time seemed to pass quickly. On other days the boy grew bored and tired – there was nothing to do but watch the sheep eating the grass from morning till night.

One day he decided to amuse himself, so he walked to the top of a hill above the village.

“Help! Wolf!” he shouted at the top of his voice.

“A wolf is eating the sheep!”

The moment the farmers heard the shepherd boy shouting, they rushed out of their houses and up the hill to help him drive the wolf away ... and found him laughing his head off at the trick he had played on them. Angrily, they returned home and the boy, still giggling, went back to watching the sheep.

42 forty-two

A week or so later, the boy became bored again.

He walked to the top of the hill and shouted, “Help! Wolf! A wolf is eating the sheep!” Once again, the farmers ran up the hill to help him.

Once again, they found him laughing at their red faces and were very angry, but there was nothing they could do except tell him off.

Three weeks later the boy played exactly the same trick, and again a month after that, and yet again a few weeks after that. “Help! Wolf!” he would cry. “A wolf is eating the sheep!” Every time, the farmers ran up the hill to help him, and every time they were met with the sight of the shepherd boy falling about with laughter over the trick he had played on them.

Unit 2 – Animals

Then late one evening, as the boy was gathering the sheep to take them home, a wolf really did come creeping around the flock.

The shepherd boy was very scared. The wolf looked huge in the evening light and the boy had only his crook to fight with. He ran to the hill, shouting: “Help! Wolf! A wolf is eating the sheep!”

But none of the farmers came to help the boy, for

nobody believes a liar, even when he is telling the truth. “He’s played that silly trick once too often,” they all said, “If there is a wolf, then it will just have to eat the boy this time.” And it did.

Nobody believes a liar, even when he is telling the truth!

The three Billy Goats Gruff Once upon a time there were three Billy Goats called Gruff. In the winter they lived in a barn in the valley, but when the spring came they longed to travel up to the mountains to eat the lush sweet grass.

On their way to the mountains the three Billy Goats Gruff had to cross a rushing river. But there was only one bridge across it, made of wooden planks. And underneath the bridge there lived a terrible, ugly, one-eyed troll.

Nobody was allowed to cross the bridge without the troll’s permission – and nobody ever got permission. He always ate them up.

The smallest of the three Billy Goats Gruff was the first to reach the bridge. Trippity-trop, trippety-trop went his little hooves as he trotted over the wooden planks. Ting-tang, ting-tang went the little bell round his neck.

Unit 2 – Animals

‘‘Who’s that trotting over my bridge?” growled the troll from under the planks. ‘‘Billy Goat Gruff,” squeaked the smallest goat in his little voice. ‘‘I’m only going to the mountain to eat the sweet spring grass.” ‘‘Oh no you’re not,’’ said the troll. ‘‘I’m going to eat you for breakfast!” ‘‘Oh no, please Mr Troll,” pleaded the goat. ‘‘I’m only the smallest Billy Goat Gruff. I’m much too tiny for you to eat and I wouldn’t taste very good. Why don’t you wait for my brother, the second Billy Goat Gruff? He is much bigger than me and would be much more tasty.”

The troll did not want to waste his time on a little goat if there was a bigger and better one to eat. ‘‘All right, you can cross my bridge,’’ he grunted. ‘‘Go and get fatter on the mountain and I’ll eat you on your way back!” So the smallest Billy Goat Gruff skipped across to the other side.

The troll did not have to wait long for the second Billy Goat Gruff. Clip-clop, clip-clop went his hooves as he clattered over the wooden planks.

Ding-dong, ding-dong went the bell round his neck.

‘‘Who’s that clattering across my bridge?” screamed the troll, suddenly appearing from under the planks. ‘‘Billy Goat Gruff’’, said the second goat in his middle-sized voice. I’m going up to the mountain to eat the lovely spring grass.” ‘‘Oh no you’re not!” said the troll. ‘‘I’m going to eat you for breakfast.” ‘‘Oh no, please”, said the second goat. ‘‘I may be bigger than the first Billy Goat Gruff, but I’m much smaller than my brother, the third Billy

Goat Gruff. Why don’t you wait for him. He would be much more of a meal than me.”

The troll was getting very hungry, but he did not want to waste his appetite on a middle-sized goat if there was an even bigger one to come. ‘‘All right, you can cross my bridge”, he rumbled. ‘‘Go and get fatter on the mountain and I’ll eat you on your way back!”

Unit 2 – Animals

So the middle-sized Billy Goat Gruff scampered across to the other side. The troll did not have to wait long for the third Billy Goat Gruff. Tromptramp, tromp-tramp went his great hooves as he stomped across the wooden planks. Bong-bang, bong-bang went the big bell round his neck.

the biggest Billy Goat Gruff. Then he lowered his horns, galloped along the bridge and butted the ugly troll. Up, up, up went the troll into the air ... then down, down, down into the rushing river below. He disappeared below the swirling waters, and was drowned.

‘‘Who’s that stomping over my bridge?” roared the troll, resting his chin on his hands. ‘‘Billy Goat Gruff”, said the third goat in a deep voice. ‘‘I’m going up to the mountain to eat the lush spring grass.” ‘‘Oh no you’re not”, said the troll as he clambered up on to the bridge. I’m going to eat you for breakfast!” “That’s what you think,” said

“So much for his breakfast,” thought the biggest Billy Goat Gruff. ‘‘Now what about mine!” And he walked in triumph over the bridge to join his two brothers on the mountain pastures. From then on anyone could cross the bridge whenever they liked – thanks to the three Billy Goats Gruff.

The three Billy Goats Gruff each walk 30 km to get to the lush mountain pastures. How many km do they walk altogether?
