Before the kick-off, I glanced to my right at the tall, blonde guy sitting next to me. He smiled and held out his hand. “Cheers mate! I’m Alec, hope you enjoy the game”, he said with a distinctly Australian accent. I shook his hand. “Thanks dude, likewise! I’m Jake by the way”. And then the classic English game began.

a tackle you always check on the other player to make sure they are ok and if a player needs CPR, resuscitation or medical help, you shield them from view to give them privacy. This was beautifully demonstrated during the Euro 2021 game between Denmark and Finland, when a Danish player suffered cardiac arrest at the beginning of the game.

After a bit of searching, we finally found our seats. The view was amazing, and I could hardly believe it was real. Me, at a soccer game in England, a once-in-a-lifetime experience! I love the game, especially the gentlemanly, unspoken rules of the game. For example, if a player is down and obviously hurt, you kick the ball off the field for a pause. After

WIMBLEDON The oldest and most famous tennis tournament in the world is played in Wimbledon near London.

The rules of the dress code in Wimbledon.

The dress code for the players goes all the way back to the Victorian era in the late 1800’s. The players must be dressed in white, including underwear and shoes.

Caps, the underbill of a cap, headbands and bandanas also have to be white. Soles and laces of the shoes have to be white.

Players are allowed a streak of colour on their clothing so long as it is under 1cm wide and around the neckline, sleeve cuff, hem of the skirt or outside seam of the pants.

The dress code for spectators is smart and company logos and political messages are forbidden. Do not yell to encourage a player before the serve nor point or cheer in the middle of the rallies.

The atmosphere was through the roof, and everyone was excited for the game to start. The rivalry between Mancester and Liverpool goes way back to the 19th century and the industrial revolution when the cotton merchants of both cities tried to make more profit than the other.

I was absolutely ecstatic! It felt surreal to finally be here at Old Trafford stadium in Manchester to watch the game between Manchester United and Liverpool. Mom, my little sister Claire and I had been saving up for this trip for a long time since we are huge soccer fans. We had invited my best friend Tyrone to come with us. Unfortunately he was unable to join us because his family was going to attend his grandmother’s 80th birthday party at the same time.

Tyrone was pretty bummed out that he couldn’t come so I had promised to bring him back a soccer shirt and lots of pictures.

Fred Perry (1909–1995) Three-time champion of Wimbledon. He was ranked as the best player from 1934–1938. Together with Austrian football player Tibby Wegner he developed a clothing line and the first sweatband. Perry was not always warmly welcomed by the public due to his working class background during a time when tennis was considered more of an upper class game.

Andy Murray (1987–) From Glasgow, Scotland.

He has won Wimbledon twice and is still an active tennis player with a promising career.

Emma Raducanu (2002–) is an up and coming British tennis star to keep an eye on. Raducanu was born in Toronto but raised in the UK by her Romanian father and Chinese mother. When she won the US open in 2021 she became the first British woman to win a Grand Slam title since Virgina Wade won Wimbledon in 1977.

It remains to be seen what lies ahead for this promising young athlete.

Something British

This Way Comes

This unit will focus on England, London and the history of Great Britain and 8 the history of the English language, the United Kingdom. It will also deal with and what has influenced it through times of change and development.

P R E H I S TO R I C B R I TA I N The first signs of humans in what is now Great Britain can be dated to over 800,000 years ago, and people have been living on the British Isles since the end of the Ice Age, some 13,000 years ago. Since these early inhabitants had no system of writing, everything we know of their culture comes from archaeological findings.

R O M A N B R I TA I N The Romans first made their arrival in Britain under Julius Caesar, and they managed to conquer Britain in the year 43 AD*, settling by the mouth of the River Thames. The Romans called the island Britannia and made the city Londinium its capital.

In 122 AD the Roman emperor Hadrian had gotten enough of the Celtic tribes attacking from the north, so he built a long wall to keep them out.

The wall, Hadrian’s wall, still stands today, slightly south of the Scottish-­ English border.

There are a lot of things that still remind us of the Roman period in British history, such as cities, like Bath, stone covered roads, aqueducts for transporting water and, of course, the famous Roman baths.

IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE VIKINGS After the fall of the Roman Empire, Germanic tribes known as the Anglo-Saxons inhabited Britain. During the early Middle Ages, Vikings from Scandinavia started making their way to the British Isles by ship. The Vikings settled and made the city of Jorvik, nowadays better known as York, a thriving place of commerce. To explore the Viking past of England, you can visit the fascinating Jorvik Viking Centre. The Vikings brought with them the influence of Old Norse, and there are many words in English that can be traced back to Viking times.

In 1066 William the Conqueror, the Duke of Normandy, conquered Britain when he defeated the English army at the Battle of Hastings.

This is significant, because nobody has conquered Britain since. The Normans, who came from present-­day France, brought with them a French influence on Britain and the English language.

BOUDICA, QUEEN OF THE ICENE An often forgotten, impressive historical figure is the Celtic warrior queen, Boudica. She became queen of her tribe, the Icene, after her husband passed away. She was, however, badly treated by the Romans, who did not honour the promise they had made to her husband. So, she gathered an army and in ca 60 AD she rode to Londinium and burnt the city. However, things ended badly for her and the Romans took a terrible revenge on her and her army. Today there is a statue of her, by the River Thames, facing the Houses of Parliament.

Tales and Legends of England

The English language is part of a long literary tradition full of fascinating tales and legends. Authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings) and Lewis Carrol (Alice in Wonderland) have contributed with some epic fantasy adventures, while others, like Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell wrote about the everyday life of English society.

Of course, a lot of what is considered the essence of Englishness today has been shaped by the British Empire and its conquests. Many explorers in the 19th century showed the curiosity and assertiveness associated with being English and being part of an empire, which often came at a great cost to the indigenous peoples of the areas that were colonised. At its biggest, the British Empire stretched across the globe. This led to the saying ‘the sun never sets on the British Empire’. In the 1960’s there was a huge wave of liberation and independence for many of the former colonies and the cruelty of colonialism has left many deep wounds that are still healing today.

WORDLIST assertiveness – bestämdhet associated – associerad, ihopkopplad med contribute – bidra curiosity – nyfikenhet descent – härkomst essence – innersta väsen, grunddrag everyday life – vardag, vardagsliv indigenous peoples – ursprungs folken nowadays – nuförtiden

Family & Friends

London has a long history of immigration and the East End, for example, was in the 19th century the place where many Jewish immigrants settled. Nowadays, many Londoners of Middle Eastern origin have built their life in the capital.

Brixton, on the other hand, became the area where a lot of immigrants of Caribbean descent settled. England and Britain are full of immigrants who helped build the nation, by contributing through work, culture, sports and music. It is all part of what we today might see as English.

CRICKET Cricket is one of the most popular games in the world. It is played on a big field with two teams who have 11 players each. One team starts as the batting team and they have to try to score as many runs as they can. The other team plays field and they have to try to bowl out ten players from the opposing team and close their innings. The bowler is the one who throws the ball that the batter tries to hit with a bat. Each team usually plays two innings. To score a run,

the batting player has to run from one end of the 20­­-metre (BrE) pitch to the other. There are three wickets (sticks at each end of the pitch) that the bowler tries to hit, and the batsman is trying to defend by hitting the ball away. One player bowls 6 balls at the opposing teams wickets and then it is the next player’s turn and so on. An interesting fact is that a game of cricket can last for up to 5 days. Cricket is very popular in England, Australia and India.

A Multitude of Cultures JANE FROM OXFORD

I slammed the front door shut and kicked off my shoes so they made an impressive arch in the hallway. Hot, angry tears burnt in my eyes. “Hey sis, what’s with all the commotion?”, my brother Charlie asked, coming out of the kitchen wiping his hands on an apron. A smooth reggae beat filled the kitchen, with Bob Marley singing about standing up for your rights.

Charlie stopped in his tracks when he saw the look on my face. He gently led me into the kitchen and sat me down at the kitchen island with a cup of tea. He was in the middle of making our grandmother’s favourite Caribbean dish, chicken curry with Jamaican roti. Roti is a type of bread we use to scoop up the curry with. It smelled delicious. Mom and Dad had gone to meet Mom’s parents at the bus station, since they were coming to visit us for a few days from London.

“So what gives? Who upset you?” he asked gently while stirring the curry before letting it simmer for a while. So I told him about the argument I had got into with a guy in my French class and how, when he ran out of arguments, he had told me to go back to where I came from. “So, right here in Oxford?!” I had retorted sharply and stomped away.

Charlie’s eyes darkened and he pursed his lips like he was trying not to explode. It was not the first time that we had been reminded, by offensive remarks, that we didn’t exactly look like your average white Brit. Our grandparents on our mom’s side had come to the UK from

Jamaica in the late 1960’s and were part of the Windrush generation*.

They had both found work and lived in Brixton, one of the boroughs of London where a large part of the Afro-Caribbean community had settled. Grandma loved to tell us how she had taken part in the 1981 Brixton protests against police brutality and inequality. Grandpa had a calmer and more gentle demeanour, Grandma, however, was loud and colourful and has always taught us to embrace our Caribbean heritage. She loves reggae, calypso and bright colours and has never been apologetic about being who she is. I guess that is where our mom got her spunk from. Mom always says that it is people like her mom and other hardworking immigrants who have made Britain what it is with its many cultures and flavours.

“Hey!” Charlie interrupted my musings. “Want to help me with the dessert before Mom and Dad get home with Grandma and Grandpa?

You should make your famous Jamaican toto, coconut cake.” I smiled gratefully, feeling so much better and thinking how much more fun life is with many colourful cultures and diversity.

T H E W I N D R U S H G E N E R AT I O N After the Second World War, Britain suffered from a worker shortage and so workers from the West Indies and the Caribbean were welcomed. In 1948 a group of labourers arrived in Tilbury, Essex, on the ship HMT Empire Windrush.

These workers, and those who arrived up until 1971, were not recorded by the Home Office and so, in time, they would have difficulty to prove that they were in the country legally.

They would later be known as the Windrush generation. They made their way to London and brought with them their music, culture, sense of style and food.

Sounds English ALEC FROM MELBOURNE

WORDLIST accidentally – av misstag amusement – road, munterhet, nöje buzz – sorl, surr chills – rysningar

I could not believe I was finally here, in London, home of punk and rock. My mom Kathy was also a huge rock fan so it was easy to convince her to come along on a mother-son trip. We had also been lucky enough to get tickets to see a new up-and-coming band that I was psyched to check out. They were playing on a small stage at a local pub.

conform – anpassa sig, rätta sig efter

My favourite thing about punk is that it isn’t pretentious at all. It just feels simple and raw and can be surprisingly emotional. It was actually Mom that got me excited about British punk rock when she told us kids wild stories of her year as an exchange student in the UK. She actually even saw Sex Pistols live once. How cool is that?!

full – fyllig

My other mom Tracy is more of a Beatles fan, so we had promised to visit the Beatles shop on Baker Street to find some fun souvenirs for her. Her favourite Beatles songs are Let It Be and John Lennon’s Imagine. I have also set my heart on visiting Portobello Road street market and getting some cool T-shirts and maybe some records.

psyched – (här) laddad

When we arrived at the gig, the room was buzzing with excitement and people were eager for the band to start playing. I felt literal chills down my spine when the first raw beats filled the room. The drummer was on fire and the voice of the lead singer was something else. The husky but full voice was a bit of a surprise coming from the short girl in her combat boots, black ripped jeans

crowd – publik, folkmassa exchange student – utbyteselev, utbytesstudent excitement – spänning husky – hes pretentious – pretentiös, arrogant profusely – översvallande set one’s heart on – vara helt inställd på spectacular – spektakulär, imponerande spine – ryggrad to be on fire – uttryck som betyder att vara i toppform twinkle – tindra, glimt i ögat unconventional – okonventionell up-and-coming – lovande

and bright orange tank top. I have to admit it suited the lyrics about refusing to conform to social norms and just living your life your own way. It felt kind of like my big, lovable and unconventional family.

The second song was a fast one with a rhythm that it was impossible not to dance to. The entire crowd was cheering and whooping. I couldn’t help jumping up and down bobbing my head to the beat. I was so caught up in the moment that I forgot to look around and accidentally bumped straight into someone. He turned around and his brown eyes twinkled with amusement when I started apologising profusely.

“Don’t worry about it, mate! Cool band, isn’t it? I’m Charlie, by the way, Charlie Walters”, he introduced himself. “Yeah”, I replied. “The band is spectacular. I’m Alec Kelly”, we shook hands and went to get a couple of sodas at the bar. Turns out he was visiting from Oxford with his friends.

N ÅGR A A V D E V A N L IGA R E U T TA L S F E N O M E N E N I BRITTISK ENGELSKA Symbolerna för den fonetiska skriften hittar du på s. 320.

Att inte rulla på r:en De flesta amerikaner uttalar r-ljudet efter vokaler så som i orden start, north, nurse, car och farm, medan de flesta britter uttalar ett långt vokalljud istället: sta:t, no:θ, nə:s, kɑ: and fɑ:m.

Så ett tips för att låta brittisk är att inte rulla på r:et för mycket.

OBS! I den skotska accenten däremot hörs ofta ett hårt r-ljud h-dropping Det här betyder att h ljudet i början av ett ord lämnas bort.

T.ex. uttalas då Harry som ‘arry och heart blir ‘a:t glottal stop (glottisstöt, stämbandsljud) Betyder att till exempel ett hårt t ljud i mitten av ett ord ersätts med ett strupljud eller en glottisstöt. t.ex. uttalas button som bu’on och Potter blir Po’ə N- och g-ljud Ett annat drag i den engelska accenten är att antingen slopa ŋ-ljudet i slutet av ett ord eller att uttala det med ett utpräglat hårt g-ljud.

T.ex. så att wearing [we:riŋ] uttalas wearin’ [we:rin] eller wearing [we:riŋg] Th-fronting (Th uttalas som f) I en del områden som till exempel i Essex och Yorkshire, samt i London dialekten Cockney uttalas th ljudet i början av ett ord som ett f ljud.

T.ex. uttalas think som fink och thought blir fought Dessa uttal anses ofta avslöja talarens socioekonomiska bakgrund och var man fått sin utbildning.
