Samantha: Hi Jake, how are things?
Jacob: Hi Sam! Fine, thanks. So I hear you’re having a welcome-back-toschool-party!
Samantha: Yes, that’s right. I figured it would be fun to do something with the whole class before we have to dig into our books and assignments again.
Jacob: So it’s sort of like a garden-party at your house?
Samantha: Not really. I’m having the party at my football club. We can use the clubhouse and whatever we need for the barbecue my dad will bring.
Jacob: Your dad? So your parents are going to be there too?
Samantha: Yes, unfortunately. Well, I wasn’t allowed to use the premises if I didn’t bring one of my parents. But my Dad’s OK and he’s really good at doing barbecues. But I noticed that you ticked “Maybe”. Aren’t you coming, then Jake?
Jacob: Well, yes and no. It’s my grandmother’s birthday that day and I have to go and see her. Actually I want to go and see her as I really like her. But if her party doesn’t end too late then I’ll be able to make it to your party too.
Samantha: Ok, fair enough. So far I’ve got 15 definitely coming, 5 no’s and 5 maybes.
Jacob I noticed that Joe isn’t coming and
he wrote on the wall that he’s going to be out of town that weekend. Where is he? I though he was going to be around all summer – mostly working.
Samantha: He texted me and told me that he’s on a training camp with the handball team that weekend. You know he’s doing really well at that sport. He even has his own blog, have you seen it? Really nice pictures.
Jacob: No, I’ll have to check it out! Do you want us to bring anything for the party?
Samantha: Well, just some hot dogs and soft drinks – that’s all. Maybe I should write that on my event so that everyone knows. Otherwise we’ll probably end up with too much of everything.
Jacob: Ok, Sam – hope to see you on Friday!
Samantha: Yes, take care, Jake!
Jacob: You too.

about a Boy
About a Boy is the story of the growing relationship between Marcus, a twelve-year-old boy, and Will, a 36-year-old man. Marcus is having problems at home and at school. Will wants a life without responsibilities; he isn’t interested in children, marriage or work. But Will is interested in attractive single mothers, and he invents a two-year-old son so that he can join a single parents’ group. When he meets Marcus and his mother, his life begins to change. About a Boy is very funny and enjoyable, but it also has a much more serious side.
growing växande relationship förhållande responsibility ansvarstagande single ensamstående invent uppfinna
Will
Will Freeman was thirty-six years old and he had never had a job in his life. Sometimes he thought about working. He looked through the job advertisements in newspapers and wrote occasional letters to employers, but he was never invited to interviews.
He didn’t mind. He was OK as he was. He was a cool guy with a cool lifestyle. He read quite a lot; he saw films in the afternoons; he went running; he cooked nice meals for himself and his friends. When he got bored, he went to Rome or New York or Barcelona for a few days.
Will didn’t need to work for money because in 1938 his father had written a very successful Christmas song. Many famous singers had made recordings of this song, and each time Will’s father had received royalties. Since his death the royalties had come to Will.
So Will had become rich without having to work at all. He was happy with his life. He lived in a nice flat in London and drove a fast car. He liked women and had lots of girlfriends, but he never got too involved with them. He preferred to look at other people’s lives from the outside, like watching TV. If a relationship with a woman became complicated, he ended it. He wanted to keep his life simple.
join gå med i enjoyable trevlig advertisement annons occasional enstaka; tillfällig employer arbetsgivare
successful framgångsrik recording inspelning royalty ersättning, royalty prefer föredra
In the evenings Will usually went out with friends. These were guys who worked in music shops or belonged to the same sports clubs as Will, or who were part of the same pub-quiz team. They weren’t close friends – but they were good enough for a drink or a meal.
The evenings were fine, but Will had a lot of free time during the day because all his friends were at work. So he filled the time with different half-hour activities – reading the paper, having a bath, tidying his flat, going to the shops, watching Countdown Countdown was an afternoon TV quiz show and it was his favourite programme. Sometimes he wondered how his friends had time to work. How could a person work and have a bath on the same day?
Will didn’t like children. He wasn’t interested in them, and he didn’t want any responsibility for them.
Marcus
Not far away, in the Holloway area of London, a twelve-year-old boy called Marcus was lying in bed, unable to sleep. He was worrying about his mum and his new school.
Marcus’s mum was called Fiona, and she and Marcus had only been in London for a few weeks. They had moved there on the first day of the summer holidays because Fiona had got a new job. Before moving to London, they had lived in Cambridge, where Marcus’s father, Clive, still lived. Fiona and Clive had separated four years ago.
Marcus thought London was quite boring.
He and Fiona hadn’t done much in the holidays. They’d been to see Home Alone 2, which wasn’t as good as Home Alone 1. They’d been to have a look at his new school, which was big and horrible. And they’d had lots of talks about London and the changes in their lives. But really they were sitting around waiting for their London lives to begin.
Marcus had had two kinds of life. The first, which had ended when he was eight, was the normal, boring kind, with school and holidays and homework and weekend visits to grandparents. The second kind was more confused because there were more people and places in it: his mother’s boyfriends and his dad’s girlfriends; flats and houses; Cambridge and London. It was surprising how many things had changed when Fiona and Clive’s relationship ended.
But Marcus didn’t mind. Sometimes, he thought, he even preferred the second kind of life to the first. It was more exciting. More happened, and that was a good thing.
But now Marcus was very worried about his mum. She had started crying a lot in London –much more than in Cambridge. He didn’t know why she cried. He wondered if it was about boyfriends. Marcus didn’t mind if his mum had a boyfriend. She was pretty, he thought, and nice, and funny sometimes. He wanted his mum to meet someone who would make her happy. He couldn’t help his mum with her problems, and she couldn’t help him with his other big problem – school. His first day at his new London school had been a disaster. quiz frågesport
Marcus knew that he was different from most other kids of his age. He wasn’t right for schools. Not big secondary schools like the one in London. His school in Cambridge hadn’t been so bad. The children there were younger, and there were lots of weird kids there, so Marcus hadn’t felt uncomfortable.
secondary school skola för ungdomar 11–18 uncomfortable h. utanför; obekväm make a difference förändra något haircut frisyr; klippning argue with bråka med
It was OK not to be right for some things, he thought. He knew that he wasn’t right for parties because he was very shy. That wasn’t a problem because he didn’t have to go to parties. But he had to go to school.
Marcus couldn’t talk to his mum about his problems at school, because she couldn’t help. She couldn’t move him to another school. Even if she did move him, it wouldn’t make any difference. He’d still be himself, and that, it seemed to Marcus, was his real problem. The other kids laughed at him because he was weird. They laughed because he had the wrong trousers, the wrong shoes and the wrong haircut.
Marcus knew that he was weird partly because his mum was weird. She was always telling him that clothes and hair weren’t important. She didn’t want him to watch ‘rubbish’ TV or listen to ‘rubbish’ music or play ‘rubbish’ computer games. All the other kids spent their time doing these things, but Marcus had to argue with his mother for hours and he usually lost. She could explain why it was better for him to listen to singers from the 1960s like Bob Marley and Joni Mitchell. And why it was more important to read books than to play on the Gameboy that his dad had given him.
Practise the words in the wordlists.
about the booK
Will is 36 and has never done a day's work in his life. He lives comfortably on the royalties from a song his father wrote, years ago. Will takes life easy and avoids responsibility. But Marcus changes all that.

So I tell Mom, I say, “Look, Mom, I’d rather eat a live snake than hang out for two whole weeks with you and Dad and Norman in the middle of some wilderness in Idaho somewhere.
Besides, I can’t take Norman. I don’t care if he’s my little brother or not, he’s a dork. He’s built
like this little tank and he’s just as destructive. Why can’t I stay home? I’m too old for family vacations.”
And she says, “You’ll have to talk to your father about that.” They always cop out like this when they haven’t got nerve enough to be honest, to give you bad news themselves. If I would have asked Dad, he would have said, “You’ll have to talk to
your mother about that.” You ever notice how they do that? Pass the buck? A neat trick, huh? So much for parents.
So I go and talk to Dad and tell him that the thought of spending two weeks in the back of our van with Norman makes me puke. Besides, who needs Idaho? Like what the hell does Idaho have to offer, anyhow? Potatoes, right? Hey, summer’s short enough without having to spend it in misery in the middle of nowhere in a tent with no toilet.
But, of course, Dad doesn’t see it this way. Oh, no. He doesn’t understand that family vacations suck for kids my age. He says, “Idaho is beautiful and peaceful and it’ll be like a nice place for the family to get to know each other.” Hey, like I don’t already know my own family? And besides, while the family’s getting to know each other, Larry will be getting to know Susan Jamison because I won’t be around to keep an eye on him. Susan Jamison.

Sneaky little bitch!
When I try to explain that I’m old enough to stay home alone and that all my friends are here and that backpacking isn’t my thing and that Norman is a potential mass murderer, he goes and flies off in all directions. He says, “Listen, Shirley, this is our vacation, and you’re going to enjoy it whether you like it or not.” Can you believe this? How about this for screwed-up logic? Parents become major-league airheads when they don’t want to listen to reason.
So, I guess I gotta go to Idaho and play like another potato for a couple of weeks. While you guys are all here living like civilized, normal human beings, hanging out at the mall and partying, I’ll be walking to the john in the wilderness someplace hand in hand with a grizzly bear. You’ve got it made, you know that, Sharon? You’re lucky your parents are divorced.

a Thoroughly Modern grandmama
I’ve become a world authority on how grandmothers ought to look because dotty dear old ladies smile from every picture book. They’re usually round and cuddly with grey hair and a hat. They drink endless cups of milky tea, always, always have a cat.
They are very good at knitting and they’ll mind you for the day –I’m sure picture book grannies are all very well, but boring in their way.
Now my grandmother hasn’t read the books – she hasn’t got a clue about the way she should behave and the things she mustn’t do.
She’s always on a diet and I’m sure she dyes her hair, and I haven’t got a grandpapa so her boyfriend’s sometimes there.
She wears jazzy shirts and skin-tight jeans, jangles bracelets on her arm. She zooms me around in her little car, strapped-in, and safe from harm.
She’s a busy lady with a job and a diary to book me in.
She doesn’t knit and doesn’t drink tea, preferring coffee, wine or gin!
My grandmother’s a complete disaster as ordinary grannies go –but I wouldn’t want to swap her or I’d have done it long ago!

could Video games Make You Violent?
a few years ago, two teenage boys shot at vehicles on the interstate with a .22 calibre rifle. one man was killed and a woman was injured. Why? the boys said they were copying a video game. can playing a violent video game really change your behaviour? can it cause you to kill?
YeS
The case of these two boys is not unique. A young man in Kentucky walked into his school and shot dead some of his schoolmates. He used to play Resident Evil, Call of Duty and Far Cry. These are all games in which you shoot virtual opponents. Six months before in Ohio, a boy stabbed his aunt to death while he was sleepwalking. Hours earlier he had been playing a game called Diablo. no
The ESA (Entertainment Software Association) says, “The responsibility for violent acts belongs to those who commit them.” The ESA also points out that Grand Theft Auto has an M (mature) rating. This means it is not for under 17s and it is up to parents to control what games their children play. Every day video games are played by millions of teenagers. Why aren’t they shooting and killing? There must be other factors that cause these teens to kill.
YeS
Many video games show people getting even by killing their opponents. For many unstable teens this could be what inspires them to get even in real life too. Seeing so many deaths and shootouts on computer screens can mean that kids become immune to the horror and reality of death.
no
Research about the effects of “desensitizing” kids to violence has not proved anything. Any teenager who watches the news sees what effect war and real guns have on the world.
“Video games are escapism in the same way that cartoons are fantasy for younger children,” says Mark Griffiths of Nottingham Trent University. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas deals with gang revenge, but the reason why it is so popular is because of its music and special effects.
John Murray of Kansas State University says, “Kids know the games are entertainment, but it’s possible, perhaps, that the brain could store the experience as trauma.”
YeS
The frontal lobe is the part of the brain that controls a person’s behaviour. But it doesn’t grow fully until a person is about 20 years old. So it’s quite possible that computer games could affect a teenager’s brain – especially if he or she plays them too often.
no
While it’s true that many teenagers do get hooked on video games, they would have to play for twenty hours a day for several years for it to cause any real damage to their brains.

“I played this like really like a bad kid who like kills a lot of people and like I steal like my … kind of like my dad’s credit cards and like he hits me,” said Justin bieber. “Right,” said Jay leno.
In a recent 11-minute appearance on Jay Leno’s U.S. TV chat show, teen heartthrob Justin Bieber used the word ‘like’ 63 times …
It was the interview that sparked a phone-in debate and made headlines in the UK this year. “It really grates on me when my daughters use ‘like’ all the time,” complained BBC radio presenter Nicky Campbell. “I’ve tried to ban them from saying it, but they don’t take any notice.” On a recent visit to her former school in north London, British actress Emma Thompson advised the girls to drop the slang. “I went to give a talk at my old school,” Emma told the BBC, “and the girls were all doing their ‘likes’ and ‘innits?’ and ‘it ain’ts’, which drives me insane. I told them, ‘Just don’t do it. Because it makes you sound stupid and you’re not stupid’.”
The schoolgirls, Nicky’s daughters and Justin Bieber are doing nothing new. Each new generation develops its own way of speaking. ‘Teenspeak’ or ‘Teenglish’ allows young people to feel part of the group, and, more importantly, to exclude adults. “Teenage language always winds up adults,” says John Ayto, editor of The Oxford Dictionary of Slang. “It’s a fine old tradition that goes back many decades.” Teenspeak may not be a new phenomenon (see timeline on next page) but the difference today is that young people no longer use it just orally.
I don't lIKe It!!!
As the way we communicate has changed over the last decade, with text messaging, Facebook, Twitter and instant messaging, teen speak is more common as a written form and is now creeping into areas considered inappropriate. Examiners report that it is cropping up more and more in exam answers and essays. Company directors have noted it being used in application letters and interviews. And teens despair when it is used by adults wanting to appear ‘down with the kids’.
The result: a Government campaign, and an appointed Communications Champion in every school. “We don’t want to stop teens being creative,” says campaign director Jean Gross. “We just want to show them there is another world of words out there.”

*Young party people in 1920s
slang is time-sensitive, coming and going over time. of course, the words don’t fit neatly into decades, but here is a taste of slang in the Uk from the last 100 years.

1970s
boogie = to dance pump iron = to lift weights dig it = to like or understand something
We didn’t really use a lot of the slang, unless ironically, but we swore to shock, trying to copy punk band the sex Pistols.”

1980s
rad = cool, good wicked = cool, excellent, great

fly = excellent, cool lame = bad
”I was into music and back then, oasis were big so we all wanted to have Mancunian (Manchester) accents. and when blur were big we all had these fake london ‘Mockney’ accents!”

2000s
dis = to disrespect, to be negative about something to big something up = to say something is good sick = good, cool
”My parents hate it when I say ‘sick’ for good, but I hate it more when my dad tries to use slang!”

The Flip Side
by Andrew Matthews
Do you know who you are? Easy question? Well, think again. There are a whole load of people inside you, like a collection of masks. You change your mask according to the situation you find yourself in. Just remember this, whoever you choose to be, I guarantee there is always a flip side.
Next day was Friday, the last day before Easter break. I woke up feeling that I had something to look forward to, and it was more than the holiday, it was the performance on stage with Milena. We were going to be together – and sure, it was only acting, but it was a start. Maybe she’d see me differently afterwards, come up to me and say, “Hey, Robert! You and I are pretty good together, what say we go out one evening?”
Maybe it would be just like I knew it was never going to be.
When I got downstairs I was granted the rare privilege of seeing my mother at breakfast time. She was in the lounge, wearing a black suit, drinking coffee and frowning at an e-mail hard copy. Dad was in the kitchen, fussing over a saucepan of scrambled eggs; he was wearing his butcher’s apron and a frazzled look.
“Bad news?” I asked Mum.
“Yes and no. The company I met on Wednesday wants me to work with them on a project.”
“So that’s good?”
“Yes, but it means I’ll have to spend next week in Amsterdam. I wanted to take a few days off so we could…”
“Play happy families?”
“Spend some time together – the three of us.
I don’t see you as much as I ought to. Sometimes I feel I’m neglecting you and your father. I think he deserves a break.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Have you noticed how he’s started to let himself go recently? I mean that hair!”
“You shouldn’t make fun of him, Robert. He works hard. Not many men would be prepared to give me that kind of support he does. Perhaps the two of you could do something together over Easter.”
“What, like the male bonding thing – hunt grizzlies in the forest?”
“You could go for a long walk in the country.”
“I’m not too fussed about the country, it’s full of midges and animal droppings. I think Dad would probably prefer to go to a kitchen shop and check out feather dusters.” Mum sighed. “That’s what I mean! He needs taking out of himself.”
In a flash of inspiration I said, “Why doesn’t he go to Amsterdam with you? He could visit one of those coffee shops and get high – that would take him out of himself.”
“I don’t know about the coffee shops, but taking him to Amsterdam isn’t a bad idea. We could all go.”
“Wouldn’t it be better if it was just you and Dad? I hear that three’s a crowd.”
“But what about you?”
“I’ll be fine here. I can throw a party and have my friends trash the place.” Mum frowned. “Isn’t it illegal to leave you on your own before you’re sixteen?”
“Only if someone finds out. I won’t tell if you won’t.”
“I’m not sure…”
It was time for a little manipulation, so I pulled an offended face and said, “Don’t you trust me?”
“Of course I do.”
“Then take Dad to Amsterdam. I’m sixteen in August – what difference does a few months make? Live dangerously while you’re still young enough to enjoy it.”
Mum narrowed her eyes. “If I didn’t know better, I’d say that you were trying to get rid of us.”
I said, “Sure I am.”
Mum laughed because she thought I was joking. I had her halfway convinced about Amsterdam, but I knew that Dad wasn’t going to be easy.

Förord
I Word Trainer lägger du grunden till ett varierat ordförråd. Med hjälp av vikordlistor kan du öva de viktigaste orden i Classbook. Hur vikordlistorna fungerar kan du läsa om på nästa sida.
Olika nivåer – ”Levels”
I varje Unit finns texter av olika svårighetsgrad och dessa är markerade med ••• , ••• eller •••, där tre svarta prickar (röda i Classbook) står för de svåraste texterna.
Orden övas i korsord
I häftet finns två korsord i slutet av varje Unit. Det första övar ord från Level ••• medan det andra tar upp ord från Level ••• och Level ••• Facit till korsorden ligger sist i Word Trainer.
Planera och för logg
I Word Trainer hittar du även Planners. Dessa ger en översikt av Classbook, Workbook, Word Trainer och den digitala delen. Här kan du planera och föra logg över ditt arbete. Du kan pricka av vilka moment du har gjort och på så sätt få en uppfattning om hur det går med dina studier och vad du har arbetat med i Magic! 9
Jobba med ordlistorna i tre steg:
1 Översätt det engelska ordet som står i fetstil och skriv det svenska ordet på raden intill. Till din hjälp står de svenska orden i bokstavsordning i den grå rutan längst ner på sidan.
2 Kontrollera dina svar så här:
• Vik högersidan längs mittlinjen.
• Vik över sidan så att kolumn B hamnar bredvid kolumn B När du har gjort rätt ser du att det är samma mönster längst upp och längst ner.
• Vik nu samma sida en gång till så att A nu hamnar bredvid A
3 Skriv de engelska orden på facitsidan där du ska översätta från svenska till engelska. Kolla sedan att du har skrivit rätt.
