WHO AM I? I am many things. I’m a Finn. I’m a student. I’m a friend. I’m a teenager. And I’m a member of my family. Sometimes I am happy, sometimes I am sad. Maybe I am talkative, maybe I am not – it depends, I guess. Am I right? Yes, often, but not always. In short: I’m me, that’s who I am.

”Pikes and popcorn”
O
liver, 13 years old, and his cousin Sarah from Canada, 14 years old, are sitting in the bus. They’re on their way to Helsinki to see the latest action film. Sarah has come to Finland for two weeks to visit Oliver and his family. This is her last evening in Finland and they’re discussing their time together. Sarah: These two weeks in Finland have been awesome! I can’t believe I have to go back to Toronto tomorrow! I’ll miss you guys so much! Especially Aunt Mikaela’s food… Oliver: Yeah, mum really knows how to cook. It has been great to have you here! Last Saturday at grandma’s place

in Turku was so funny. I can’t believe you fell from the boat (laughing)! Sarah: Please don’t remind me of that, Ollie (giggling). I didn’t know the Finnish fish were that strong! Oliver: I must say that I’m impressed, coz, the pike you got on your fishing rod was one the biggest I’ve ever seen! Sarah: Yup, and I didn’t lose my grip even though I fell into the lake and everything! And the look on your grandma’s face when we came back to her cottage with soaked clothes and this huge pike… I’ve never seen anybody that surprised before. Oliver: Well, I think the three of us, you, me and the pike, looked like some kind of sea monsters.
Sarah: The fish WAS a monster, but your grandpa made a wonderful dinner out of it! Oliver: Grandpa’s fish soup is famous, you know. Sarah: I understand why. It’s been great to get to know your whole family, Ollie. Next time, it’s your turn to come to Canada and meet mine! Oliver: Yeah, I’m looking forward to next summer already!

Focus on irregular verbs I engelska är många vanliga verb oregelbundna. Det betyder att de inte har ändelsen -ed i gången tid. Jämför: Jag jobbade på kafét. Jag var på kafét.
I worked at the café. I was at the café.
Han kom ihåg det. Han gjorde det.
He remembered it. He did it.
Oregelbundna verb måste man lära sig utantill. De har tre temaformer: infinitiv, preteritum (imperfekt) och perfektparticip. Perfektparticip används till exempel i perfekt (I have gone = jag har gått) och pluskvamperfekt (she had seen = hon hade sett). Vi börjar här med åtta mycket vanliga oregelbundna verb.

School gear and desserts
O
liver, his little sister Linda and their dad are in the local shopping centre. It’s the weekend before school starts and the siblings need some new things. Linda will start first grade and Oliver seventh, so they are both very excited about going to a new school.
Dad: Alright, where should we go first? Linda, you wanted to look at school bags, and Ollie, was it a new jacket you needed? Oliver: Yeah, my old jacket is too small… Dad: I’m not surprised, you have grown a lot during the summer! Linda is pulling her dad’s sleeve. Dad: Linda, what is it? Linda: I want to go and look at the bags NOW! And I need pencils, crayons, erasers, a pencil case… Dad: Whoa, hold your horses, young lady! Let’s decide this together. I have a suggestion: We’ll go and look at bags in the shop over there. Ollie, you could go and look at some jackets on your own. Oliver: Ok, dad. I’ll call you when I’ve found something. Dad: Sounds good! See you in a bit. Linda: Come on, dad, let’s go! Dad laughs and walks away with Linda. Oliver goes to one of the clothing stores. An hour later the family is sitting in one of the restaurants in the shopping centre, enjoying a pizza. Linda proudly shows her new school bag to Oliver. Linda: Look, Ollie! What do you think of my new bag?

Oliver: I think it’s perfect for you: it’s pink and has butterflies on it – as good as it gets in other words. Dad: We sure did some good shopping, Linda got her school bag and you got your jacket, Ollie. Linda: And I got all this school stuff! Dad, you’re the best! Dad: Well, thank you, sweetie. So, what do you want for dessert? Oliver: There’s dessert? Thanks, dad! Hmm, I’ll have a banana split. Linda: Me too. Dad: Ok, I’ll go to get that. Didn’t you know this is the official ’Dads spoiling their kids day’? Dad winks his left eye and gets up.
Oliver: I’ll make a note of this date, dad. Good to remember next year. Linda starts giggling and dad laughs out loud.

TEXT 3
Cooking at school and at home
T
oday, Oliver and his friends have their first cooking lesson in home economics. For many of them cooking isn’t anything new. Jill, for example, makes dinner every second Tuesday for her family. She started it last January, when she turned 13 years old. She mentioned that to her group when they were making a fruit salad. Oliver: How do you know what to cook? Jill: Mum has a whole shelf full of recipes. I just sit down and choose a recipe with only a few ingredients. Susan: Does any of you watch that new cooking show with Jamie Oliver? It started last month, I think. Mick: I do, and I made a pizza following one of his recipes last week. Mother didn’t believe her eyes when she came home from work and dinner was ready. Mary: What kind of pizza was it? Mick: It had tomato sauce, Italian sausages, garlic and broccoli. And lots of cheese, of course. Mary: Broccoli? That doesn’t sound very good… Mick: It was delicious! Oliver: Mick likes anything with sausage and garlic, you know. Later the class sits down to eat the food they made. Teacher: Class, while you’re eating I would like to talk a bit about school

dinners. I heard that someone mentioned Jamie Oliver. Did you know that he made a TV series called ”Jamie’s School Dinner”? Susan: Yes, it was very popular, wasn’t it? Teacher: Yes, it was. Why do you think he made the series? Susan: I think he wanted to teach people to feed children and young people real food instead of soda and hamburgers. Teacher: Yes, you’re right. He made people aware of school dinners and that the meals should be healthier and more appetising. And believe it or not, people started demanding more money for school meals. And they got more money! Now, let’s talk about school lunches here in Finland. We are lucky to have a cooked school lunch every day – very few countries have that. Finnish schools also cater for vegetarians and for students with allergies.
Mary (to Susan): Yes, I mustn’t eat nuts, for example. Super dangerous for me. Teacher: I brought a list of favourite school meals. I thought we could look at it together. Now, as you can see many students like macaroni casserole, lasagne and sausage soup. Mick: Sausage soup! Can we make that next week? Please!

TEXT 4
Friendship In a radio studio in Leeds. Lucy: Hello everyone and welcome to ”Teenager Corner” on Channel 4! My name is Lucy Jenkins and today I’ve got two guests in the studio. Our topic today is friendship. Could you start by introducing yourselves? Marcus: My name is Marcus Black and I’m 14 years old. Brenda: And my name is Brenda Williams and I’m 14 years old, as well. We go to the same school in Wakefield. Lucy: Oh, really? Can you tell us something about your school? Marcus: Well, our school isn’t that big we’ve got about 200 students. I like our school, the teachers are nice and I’ve become friends with lots of people.

Unit 1 Who I am – me, my family and my friends
Lucy: Now that was a smooth transition to our actual topic today, which is friendship. Marcus, you said that you’ve got a lot of friends at school. Could you tell us more about it? Marcus: My family and I moved to Wakefield from London a couple of years ago, and I didn’t know anyone at school. On my first day I was supposed to tell my new class about myself, and so I told them about my school in London. I guess going to school in London sounded cool and exciting, so I got to answer a lot of questions afterwards, and that’s the way I got to know people. Brenda was one of the first ones to talk to me. Lucy: How wonderful! But how come, if I may ask?
Brenda: Well, I like meeting new people and I’m not afraid of asking questions and learning more about new people. I’m quite outgoing and sociable. Lucy: Two very nice qualities, if you ask me. How would you describe a good friend, Brenda? Brenda: Marcus could actually be described as a very good friend. He is honest, friendly and reliable. Marcus: Cheers, Brenda! Brenda is also honest and reliable, but very sociable as well, that’s how I got to know her in the first place. And she’s got a great sense of humour, she makes me laugh all the time! Lucy: Sounds like the two of you know each other very well and that you’ve got a great time together. Brenda: That’s true. But the most
important thing is that I know I can tell Marcus anything and he won’t gossip. Marcus: I have to agree, you can always trust Brenda. She knows more about me than my own mum, ha ha. (laughing). Lucy: Sharing secrets, that’s what friends are for, right? Brenda and Marcus, thank you for taking the time to visit our programme this Saturday morning. Marcus: Thank you for having us, Lucy. Brenda: Thank you, it was nice talking to you! Lucy: This is Lucy Jenkins for Channel 4, more about friendship after the, oh, so wonderful Queen and “Friends Will Be Friends”.

“Clothes – important or not?”
H
i! My name is Laurel Smith and I write for the children’s page in our local newspaper. This time I decided to interview some young people about clothing. I asked each person three questions:
1) What kind of clothing do you like to wear? 2) Who buys your clothes? 3) How much do you think about what you wear? Helen Collins, 14 years old 1) My favourite kind of clothing would be jeans, a pair of Converse and a hoodie. I like comfy clothes! 2) My mum buys me the things I really need, for example, a new winter jacket. But if I find something nice that I fancy, I have to pay for it myself. 3) Not that much, but if there’s a special occasion, like a birthday party or such, I want to look good and then I think about what I wear. Liam Burton, 13 years old 1) I like wearing baggy trousers, a big T-shirt, a baseball cap and skate shoes, because skateboarding is my hobby and I also skate in our school yard. 2) I live with my grandma and she’s the one who pays for my clothes, but I choose them myself, of course. 3) I don’t want to wear the same clothes for two days in a row, so you could say that I think about what I wear to some extent at least. 44
Unit 1 Who I am – me, my family and my friends
Mindy McNamara, 15 years old 1) My favourite outfit at the moment is a white dress with a pattern in many colours and a pair of sandals. I follow fashion trends, so if you asked me the same question in a few months you’d probably get a very different answer! 2) My dad and I often go shopping together. He buys me some things, but not everything I want. I spend most of my pocket money on clothes. 3) Quite a lot! I choose my daily outfit very carefully. Luckily, I have a big mirror in my room, so I don’t have to occupy the bathroom the whole morning…

TEXT 6
Once Upon a Time...
“
Once upon a time...” That’s how all fairy tales begin. You meet fantasy creatures like fairies, elves and trolls as well as ordinary human beings. Very often there is a stepmother, and in almost all cases she is evil. It is normal for the events in the tales to be repeated – three times in German and Danish stories and up to five times in the Russian versions. Three traditional fairy tales are hidden in the following texts. They have been both updated and shortened. Do you still recognise some of them? Once upon a time there was a small village behind a great forest. One day the door of one of the neat little houses along the main street opened and a little girl appeared. She was carrying a basket on her arm and you could see from the way she walked that she was in a hurry. And the basket looked really heavy. The little girl was on her way to see her grandmother, who was ill and needed food and medicine. The little girl did not return home that evening, but a wolf was walking around in the neighbourhood, its stomach aching because of something it had just eaten… Once upon a time there was a mirror that praised its owner for being the most beautiful woman in the world. One
52
Unit 1 Who I am – me, my family and my friends
day, however, it made the owner both disappointed and furious when it told her that somewhere there was a person who was more beautiful than she. So she went out to search for this person in the woods. Finally she found her, and after three attempts she thought she had succeeded in eliminating her for good. Bad luck, the mirror told her again that there was still a creature out there that was more beautiful than she. So she became desperate and took her own life. Her stepdaughter was last seen with seven dwarfs, disappearing into the forest… Once upon a time there was a small family of three, but the mother fell ill and died. The father and the daughter planted a memorial tree in the garden, under which the poor motherless child sat, crying out her grief. The father soon found a new wife, who brought her two daughters with her into the family. They were ugly and had been totally spoilt by their mother, who had never asked them to do anything in the home. The father was often away from home and the stepmother forced her stepdaughter to do the household chores for her and her daughters. As the poor girl had to be up early in the morning and never went to bed before
midnight, the stepmother thought she had better sleep by the fire in the kitchen.
Do you recognise the three fairy tales? Write down the names of the tales, in English if you know them.
But the fairy tale ended well; her Fairy Good Mother, a ball at the castle and a lost glass slipper gave the poor girl a new life. She got her prince and they lived happily ever after.
