Welcome to Pick & Mix Pick & Mix is a new, innovative and user-friendly course material for gymnasieskolan’s course Engelska 5, developed in line with Gy 2011 requirements. The texts cover a wide range of interesting subjects and each chapter gives the student plenty of opportunities to practise the four major skills: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Each chapter also contains a grammar section which covers the main areas that students need to know. Pick & Mix works just as well for lesson-based learning as for individual studies, and gives you everything you need to achieve your aims at Engelska 5. There are two possible approaches to using the material:
•
A traditional themes approach, in which you work through the chapters and sections in the order they appear in the book. This will give you plenty of opportunity to practise all the skills that are required to pass Engelska 5.
•
A selective skills approach, where you pick and mix the skills and themes you feel the need to study, whether it be reading, listening, speaking, writing or grammar. This way you can focus on the specific skills that you need to improve.
We hope that you, teachers and students, will find Pick & Mix an inspiring and useful tool for teaching and learning English! Simon Phillips and Tove Phillips Kinna 2013

Jane and Jeremy come from two very different backgrounds. They have been dating for a few weeks when they are invited to dinner with Jeremy’s parents. Jeremy’s parents’ house is massive and Jane thinks they are both really posh. The others are dressed much more smartly than her. She doesn’t really like the strange food which looks like mussels or snails or something, and isn’t sure which of the many pieces of cutlery to use for each course. Jeremy

and his parents talk a lot about art, books, politics and their experiences in other countries. Jane has never been abroad and she hasn’t read a book since she was a kid. When she gets back to her flat, Jane wonders if she should stop seeing Jeremy.

Hi everyone! I’ve now been working really hard for eight months (!) to save up money to do some travelling. I’m planning to travel mainly around Asia, probably starting off in Israel or Egypt and working my way across through India, Thailand and Japan. I would be grateful for ANY tips, particularly when it comes to the cultural bits. What to wear, what not to wear, what to say, what not to say etc. I really want to avoid offending people!!
Kilroy 2013-08-22 22:04
First thing to check out is the religious stuff. For example, in any Muslim country, you should think about what you wear, especially if you’re a chick. Cover up the interesting bits :-). Some places are stricter than others. In some Arab countries, you shouldn’t look men in the eye if you’re female.
Jenny86 2013-08-22 22:09
What about greeting? Do you shake hands, hug, kiss on the cheek, bow or curtsy?

Mr Big 2013-08-22 22:15
Elasticman 2013-08-22 22:31
Well, that obviously depends on which country you’re in. In India, you press your hands together, bow and say “namaste”. Bowing is quite common in all Asian countries, I think. In Arab countries many people do the cheekkissing. I was in Oman a few years back, they actually kiss each other on the nose and then they shake hands. And blokes walk around holding hands. Weird!
Ahmad-73 2013-08-22 22:36
In most Arab countries you shake hands if you’re being formal and kiss the cheeks of people you know well.
Kilroy 2013-08-22 22:46
I think bowing is more in eastern Asia. Japanese people are very particular about their bowing. How deep you bow depends on what status you have and how well you know the person.
SeaHorse 2013-08-22 22:59
Yamato86 2013-08-22 23:14
Japanese people are really reserved. They are extremely polite, never say what they think and always expect you to know what they’re thinking. It’s a pain in the ass if you’re American and expect to say whatever you think. I’ve made a fool of myself loads of times in Japan. Well, it all depends from which angle you look at it. To an American, Japanese people seem reserved. To some of us Japanese, Americans may seem a bit... over the top...
Gemini 2013-08-22 23:54
Swedes are even worse than the Japanese. They never talk to strangers and you can never just turn up at someone’s house. You always have to ring first. And they have really boring lives. No wonder they’re so suicidal...
Linnea 2013-08-23 00:12
That’s not true about Swedes. You’re just prejudiced. Or jealous because we’re so good looking :-)

Then of course there’s all the food stuff. No pork or alcohol in Muslim countries. No beef in India (the Hindus think that cows are holy animals). You can’t even get a beef burger in McDonald’s!!!!!

Something really funny (or not) happened to me when I was in Egypt for work last summer. I was invited to my boss’s house for dinner. I brought some flowers and wine, as I’ve heard you’re meant to bring something. Had a really nice meal. He had some really nice looking stuff in his house and I made some comment about this ornament... a bronze cat sort of thing. I said I really liked it and you know what the guy did? He gave it to me! Just like that! I was really grateful and everything, but I must have done something wrong, because the boss seemed really annoyed with me after that evening.
Farao 2013-08-23 22:37
No wonder your boss was annoyed: Firstly – flowers are only given at weddings and funerals. Secondly – never give wine to a muslim. Thirdly – if you admire something in an Egyptian’s home, he feels he has to give it to you... but then he also expects you to give him something back. So there...

nou
Nouns are words that usually name people and animals (John, cat), things (chair, boat), places (beach, Sweden), substances (steel, water), activities and events (football, holiday), characteristics and conditions (intelligence, anger) and abstract ideas (love, justice). Countable nouns can be singular or plural. Some nouns are neither singular nor plural – they are called uncountable nouns.
regular plural Most nouns are made plural by adding the suffix -s: one cat a feeling an ambulance
two cats many feelings three ambulances
Grammar
Sometimes the spelling is changed slightly when forming a regular plural. Nouns ending in -s, -x, -z, -ch and -sh are made plural by adding -es: one bus a box
two buses two boxes
For nouns ending in -y after a consonant, the y is changed into -ies: one country a family
two countries two families
Most nouns ending in -o are made plural by adding the suffix -es: one tomato
two tomatoes
However, abbreviated words ending with -o only get the suffix -s: radios, photos
22
abbreviated words are words that have been shortened: radio = radio-telephony photo = photograph
irregular plural There are also a lot of nouns with irregular plural forms. Some of them follow certain rules, while others are completely irregular. For some words ending in -f or -fe, the -f/-fe is changed into -ves. For example: wife, life, knife, wolf, self, calf, shelf, loaf, leaf, thief, sheaf, half and elf: one wife
two wives
Some nouns have the same form in singular and plural: one fish – two fish, one sheep – two sheep, one deer – two deer, one series – two series, one species – two species Other nouns have a completely irregular plural form: foot – feet, goose – geese, louse – lice, man – men, mouse – mice, tooth – teeth, woman – women, child – children
Practise plural nouns A. Write the plural form of the following words: boy, potato, monkey, kilo, tax, wolf, hero, baby, bush, sheep, thief, crash, hat, way, lorry, video, man, guy, dress, match, worry, fox, eyelash, echo, mouse
B. Now fill the gaps with the words in the box in the correct form: 1. I drank three ___ of water after the hot curry. 2. According to Hindusim, we have many ___ . 3. Paris is one of my favourite ___ . 4. In many countries, ___ have a higher status than ___ . 5. In some cultures, people eat insects such as ___ . 6. The Brazilian had four ___ .
23
life, child, louse, man, city, glass, woman
uncountable nouns Uncountable nouns exist in both English and Swedish. These are nouns that cannot be counted. For example, you cannot say a sugar, one anger, many intelligence or two water. Therefore, many of these words do not have a plural form. Uncountable nouns are usually treated as singular: Sugar is sweet. The water is cold. The weather is bad. Some nouns can be both countable and uncountable, depending on the context: Egg is rich in protein. (uncountable – egg in general) I had two eggs for lunch. (countable – two actual eggs) I don’t like beer. (uncountable – beer in general) He had two beers after dinner. (countable – two glasses of beer)
Grammar culture shock
Certain nouns are treated as plural, but lack the -s: The police are working hard. (use police officer for the singular form) There are many people here. (use person for the singular form) Some nouns that are singular in Swedish are plural in English, for example: stairs (trappa), scissors (sax), pyjamas (pyjamas), knickers (trosa), customs (tull), contents (innehåll), looks (utseende), morals (moral).

These nouns cannot be used with numerals or quantity words such as many. Instead, you have to use some or another form of measure word: De har köpt några nya möbler. Jag har fem läxor . Jag har bakat tre bröd. Jag har en god nyhet.
They have bought some new furniture. I have five pieces of homework. I have baked three loaves of bread. I have some good news.
