Welcome to Of Course! 3

Your trip to the world of English has already come a long way. Now it’s time to keep going with the next level. We will help you by providing new reading texts, grammar pages, exercises and lots of chances to help you get better at speaking and writing.

In Of Course! 1 and Of Course! 2 you visited many countries where they speak English, and learned a lot about them and the people that live there. In Of Course! 3 we invite you to join us on visits to Scotland, Canada, Nigeria and New Zealand. You will meet people with different hobbies and jobs, and find out more about their countries.

You can listen to all the reading texts online on your phone, a tablet or a computer. On a tablet or computer you can even read and listen to the texts at the same time.

Every chapter has a few texts with a common theme. For example, in Chapter 5, you can find out what’s inside the mind of a gamer, and in Chapter 6 you can join Maggie, and the people she meets, on a train trip to Scotland. The last chapter presents some books that you might like to read. And – of course! – you will learn a lot of new words and grammar to improve your language skills.

There are questions to check that you understand what you read after every text. There is also new grammar in every chapter and a word list. You will write your own texts and speak English with other students in the classroom.

There are lots of listening exercises which you can find by logging into the digital material. Don’t forget to answer the questions after listening!

Of course there are lots of other interactive exercises in the digital material, where you can practise reading, vocabulary, spelling, grammar and more. You can find out right away if your answer was right or wrong, and do the exercises again until everything is right! It’s like having a teacher sitting next to you at the computer.

We are very pleased to help you on this trip into your English language future.

Lena Langborg and Erika Tidblom
