Fotokopieerapparaten zijn algemeen verspreid en vele mensen maken er

haast onnadenkend gebruik van voor allerlei doeleinden.

Jammer genoeg ontstaan boeken niet met hetzelfde gemak als kopieën.

Boeken samenstellen kost veel inzet, tijd en geld.

De vergoeding van de auteurs en van iedereen die bij het maken en verhandelen

van boeken betrokken is, komt voort uit de verkoop van die boeken.

In België beschermt de auteurswet de rechten van deze mensen.

Wanneer u van boeken of van gedeelten eruit zonder toestemming kopieën maakt,

buiten de uitdrukkelijk bij wet bepaalde uitzonderingen,

ontneemt u hen dus een stuk van die vergoeding.

Daarom vragen auteurs en uitgevers u beschermde teksten

niet zonder schriftelijke toestemming te kopiëren

buiten de uitdrukkelijk bij wet bepaalde uitzonderingen.

Verdere informatie over kopieerrechten en de wetgeving

met betrekking tot reproductie vindt u op www.reprobel.be

De uitgever heeft ernaar gestreefd de relevante auteursrechten te regelen volgens de

wettelijke bepalingen. Diegenen die desondanks menen zekere rechten te kunnen

doen gelden, worden verzocht zich tot de uitgever te wenden.

After our walk, I sit outside in front of the door.At twelve o'clock Mrs Pearson gives me my lunch.Sometimes Fred, the neighbour's cat, comes over thegarden wall, but I always bark at him and then heruns away.

On Saturdays I take Kevin out to play.He always plays football with his friends.I teach the boys a lot of tricks. For example, when Ibring a stick, they throw it for me. When I bark at theirbikes, they ride away on them.

Take the first, second on your left/right.

Cross the bridge / street.

Take the bend.

Pass the crossroads.

Did you know?Countries that drive on the left:

Mali – Malta – Mauritius – Montserrat – Mozambique – Namibia

– Nepal – New Zealand – Pakistan – the Seychelles – Singapore

– South Africa - Sri Lanka – Suriname – Swaziland – Tanzania –

Thailand – Uganda – the United Kingdom – Zambia - Zimbabwe

Why do the British people drive on the left?

It was Julius Caesar who let his citizens (burgers) use the leftside of the road. In those days soldiers had to carry theirswords in their right hand, so being on the left side of theroad they could easily defend (verdedigen) themselves whenthey suddenly met an enemy (vijand).Later Napoleon didn’t agree (akkoord gaan met) with thisstrategy and he decided (besliste) that everyone shoulddrive on the right. But Napoleon never got to Britain, so theBritish continued (bleven doorgaan met) driving on the left.

‘My dog is lost.’‘Why don’t you put an ad inthe paper?’‘Don’t be silly – he can’t read.’

IMPERATIVE


Turn left at the crossroads.Follow that car.Try again.

Don’t park here.Don’t get lost.Don’t feed the animals.

FORMATION:The imperative is the infinitive without ‘to’.

The imperative is ‘don’t’ +the infinitive without ‘to’.

USE: We use imperatives for instructions, advice and to tell people what (not) to do.(We gebruiken ‘imperatives’ voor instructies, advies en om mensen te zeggen wat ze aldan niet moeten doen.)

The teacher or one of the pupils is Simon and comes in front. Allthe others stand up. Simon gives the group an order (bevel) such as "touch your nose" or"turn around".

If Simon starts his order with "Simon says" (for example, "Simon says, 'touch your nose'"),the class has to do what Simon says. If his order doesn’t start with "Simon says" (for example, he just says, "Touch your nose"),then the pupils who listen to Simon and follow his order are out of the game and must sitdown. The last person standing is the winner and gets to be Simon for the next round.

Did you know?TRAINSPOTTING is a hobby in Britain.

It is popular mainly with boys, but also with adult

(volwassen) men. It involves (houdt in) going to

places where trains can be seen, especially rail-

way stations, and collecting the numbers of rail-

way engines you see by writing them down.

People sometimes make fun of this hobby and the

people who do it, because they think it’s a boring

and ridiculous (belachelijk) thing to do.

Did you know?

PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN BRITAINMany British town buses have two decks, and

the top deck is a good place from

which you see the view. In large towns such as

London, Newcastle and Liverpool you

find underground railways, also called "the

tube". The main train service, called

‘inter-city’, between London and the main towns to the north

and west runs at least every hour. All the inter-city trains have

parallel inter-city buses which compete (wedijveren) for pas-

sengers. The bus services,

however, are slow and infre-

quent. Heathrow in London is

the country’s most used airport.

London’s second airport is

Gatwick. There are also other

airports, for instance in

Manchester and Newcastle.

Time for a laughFIRST AID"How come you're late?" asked the bartender, as the blonde waitress walked into the bar."It was awful," she explained. "I was walking down Elm Streetand there was a terrible accident. A man was thrown from hiscar and he was lying in the middle of the street. His leg was bro-ken, his skull (schedel) was fractured (gebarsten), and there wasblood everywhere. Thank God I took that first-aid course."What did you do?" asked the bartender."I sat down and put my head between my knees to keep fromfainting (flauwvallen)!"

Time for a laughFIRST AIDIt was a stifling (broeierig) hot day and a man fainted in the middle of a busyintersection (kruising). Traffic quickly piled up (opeenhopen) in alldirections while a woman rushed to help him. When she kneltdown to loosen (losmaken) his collar (kraag), a man emergedfrom the crowd (menigte), pushed her aside, and said, "It's allright, honey, I've had a course in first aid."The woman stood up and watched as he took the ill man's pulse(polsslag) and prepared to administer (toepassen) artificial respira-tion (kunstmatige ademhaling). At this point she tapped him onthe shoulder and said, "When you get to the part about callinga doctor, I'm already here."

Lady – My Life As a Bitch, by Melvin BurgessAn adapted extract

Sandra Francy is a 17-year-old girl who is sick ofschool and doing as she's told. She wants to goout and go crazy. So she does. She sleeps withtoo many boys, drinks too much, takes too manydrugs. She is beginning to get bored with that kind oflifestyle when the accident happens: she changesinto a dog.At first of course she's terrified. A dog! Oh myGod - she's lost her family, who don't recogniseher and chase her away, her friends, her place atschool, everything. But she soon meets other dogs who were oncepeople and they tell her that a human's life is fullof stress and pain, work and tests. Now, a dog’slife is different.Only a fool would really prefer to be a humanbeing, if they had the choice ...

In this extract Sandra Francy goes home. Shewants her family to see her as their daughter.Therefore she tries to put on her old clothes.Being a dog this is, of course, not that easy …

jumped down off the desk and ran to my ward-

robe. It was a new one, so it was quite easy to

open it. There inside were all my clothes, although

how I was ever going to get them on I didn't know.

I searched with my mouth and dumped them on

the carpet - my tee-shirts, my knickers, my tights,

my jeans and skirts and tops. Then, for the first time

in weeks, I got dressed.

I did the tee-shirt first, holding the sides with my

paws and pushing my head in. That was hard

enough, but the knickers were even harder. I hadto spread them out on the floor, stand in the leg

holes and then pull them up with my teeth. It tookme ages, but I did it. Then I tried to do the same

with my tights, but that was just so hard. I had to

keep doing little jumps to get my feet off them, and

then pull with my teeth. It was impossible! I stop-ped trying. I thought, one step at a time. Knickers

today, tights tomorrow, I said. I found my nice litt-

le stripy tee-shirt, the one with the yellow and blue

stripes. It used to be skintight, but now, of course,

it was all baggy, and I thought, at least I'm losing

weight! And I went, huf, huf, huf. Laughing mademe feel loads better. I loved it!

Next I put on my short black skirt. I climbed onto

the table and had a look at myself. I nearly cried. I

just looked absolutely ridiculous.

I tried some make-up. Holding the lipstick down

between my paws, I rubbed my black dog lips

around the red stick, but it was such a hopeless

mess, I licked it all off and tried again. I got better,

but after several goes, I decided that make-up with

a hairy face and no fingers is definitely not on.

And then - well! - it was now or never. Time to

introduce myself to my family.

Excerpt: adapted from ‘Lady’, by Melvin Burgess.

Downstairs I could hear voices from the living room. I wantedto get down those stairs on two legs. I got up and tried tojump down… but I fell! I rolled all the way down to the bot-tom. Ouch! What a start to my first day back as a real girl! Then, I stood up on my hind1 legs and walked in to greet myfamily. My mother was the first to begin screaming, followedby Adam and Dad. My mother shouted ‘Mad dog! Mad dog!’Adam was trying to hide behind her. He said, ‘Keep it awayfrom me! Keep it away from me!’ in a loud voice.‘It’s wearing her clothes! Oh my God! It’s wearing herclothes!’ my mother shouted.It was time to say something. I knew from practising that ‘d’swere hard; so were ‘m’s at the beginning of words but theywere easier if they were in the middle, so I tried with mybrother first. I looked at him and I said, ‘Adam. Adam. Help.’ It came out beautifully. Perfect!‘Help’ was a bit of a mess - it sounded more like ‘Hrwworwwap.’ But still – not bad for a dog.‘It knows my name,’ said Adam. Mum put her hands to her mouth. ‘Oh my God,’ she whisper-ed. ‘What’s happening? What sort of an animal is it?’I said, ‘Mum,’ but it didn’t sound right. I tried Dad. It came out like a little bark2, but it wasn’tbad. ’Droow, drogghw, droughwd. Hrwworp,’ I said.‘What’s it saying now?’ Dad asked.‘It called you Dad,’ said Adam.Then I did the dog tricks. I sat back on my bum, put my paws up under my chin and wagged3

my tail. I waved one of my paws. ‘She wants to be friends,’ said my dad. He smiled and heldout his hand. ‘Good girl! Good girl!’ he said.Dad and Adam went out of the room. Mum closed the door. ‘This is girls’ talk, isn’t it, just youand me,’ she said.She looked at me and said, ‘Sit,’ and I sat. ‘Stand,‘ she said, and I stood. ‘Get up on the sofa,’she said, and I did. ‘Turn round. Lie down.’ I did all she said. ‘Count to three with your paw onthe carpet,’ she said. Now I knew she half believed that I was not just a dog. ‘Three timesfour?’ she asked. I did twelve. ‘Seven minus six?’ I did one.‘Oh my God. Oh my God,’ she said. She walked twice around the room. I just sat andwatched. It was all in her hands, everything was in her hands. My future. My life. ‘It’s not possible, of course it’s not, no matter how clever your are. Just not possible! The onlything is – how come you’re wearing the top that she always wore with that skirt? Who but mySandra knew that?’ I said ‘Mum!’ But she put her hands over her ears.‘Oh, Sandra! Oh, my darling, darling, darling - Oh, Sandra, what’s happened to you? Whathave they done?’ She held me tightly to her, kissing me and loving me and crying. I justwanted to cry too and to show her how I could cry, as if tears alone would wash me back towhat I was.

When I read your letter I couldn't believe that you'd gone.I dialled your number but no one answered the phone.I asked your friends to tell me if they knew where you were,they said they thought that you were ill.I hired a detective to try and find out where you are.He managed to trace you, he said you were living in France.A watchman* saw you climb into someone else's car and drive *een bewakeroff laughing in the night. Why didn't you tell me? Not leave me this way.You could have told me and not waited for so long.

I've tried to forget you but I find myself walking the street.I went to the doctor and he gave me something to sleep. I've sent you telegrams but you haven't answered one. Your mother told me I best leave you well alone. I hope you're satisfied now you've done this thing to me. I hope you're pleased with what you've done.Why didn't you tell me? Not leave me this way. Oh you could have told me and not waited for so long.

For so long I never realised just exactly who you were. I never realised just exactly. I've never realised the girl I had before.I hope you're satisfied you won't hear from me again.

Did you know?

English Breakfast

This is perhaps one of the best-loved clichés about British food.

Fruit juice, cereals and milk, then sausages, eggs, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms and then

buttered toast with marmalade, all washed down (wegspoelen) with plenty of (een heleboel)

tea with milk.But this takes a very long time to prepare and is too filling (zwaar). This is why the British

have it only occasionally (nu en dan) at weekends as a brunch (= lunch +

breakfast).A much more common (gewoon) breakfast is a cup of coffee and a piece of

toast or yogurt.

LunchMost of the times afairly (nogal) lightmeal: a warm dish anda pudding (dessert).Even more common arethe ‘packed lunches’. Somesandwiches, a packet of crisps(chips), an apple and a can (blikje) of some-thing to drink kept in a plastic container.

ElevensesThis is usually not more than a cup oftea and biscuits (koekjes). As the namepoints out it is used somewhere aroundeleven a.m.

DinnerThings are changing and most British

people eat meals from many different

countries for example spaghetti or

curry (pikante schotel). In fact you

could even say that the British don’t

eat much British food.

However, the most typical thing to

eat for dinner is "meat and two veg".

This is a piece of meat and two dif-

ferent boiled (gekookt) vegetables,

covered (overdekt) with ‘gravy’ which is a

sauce made of the meat juices (sappen). One of the vegetables

is almost always potatoes. Beef, mutton and lamb are preferred to pork in Britain.

The English are famous for their meat puddings and meat pies (pastei, taart).

After the main course many families eat a pudding. This was traditional-

ly a sponge (biscuit) of pastry cooked with jam or fruit, served with

hot custard (vanillesaus). Now it can be a fruit salad, a pie, jelly

(gelei), or ice-cream.

TeaAround four o’ clock in the afternoon theEnglish have teatime. Some thin slices (snee-tjes) of bread and butter, sometimes withcheese, fish, ham or a meat paste (vlees-paté). Followed by jam, tarts, scones orcakes. And of course several cups of strongtea with milk.

Watch out if you order a coffee: it comes withmilk. If you want a coffee without milk youorder a black coffee.

FOOD IN BRITAIN

_ g

113one hundred and thirteen

Typical English foodBaked beans Beans cooked in a tomato sauce, are normally

eaten on toast. The British are very fond of (dol zijn op) bakedbeans.

Bangers and mash Mashed (gepureerd) potatoes with sausages.

A Ploughman’s Lunch This is a very popular thing to eat when eating in a pub at midday. It’s a bread roll with a piece of cheese and a pickled (ingelegde) onion.

Yorkshire pudding A batter (deegbeslag) made with flour, eggs and milk and cooked inthe oven. This is most often eaten with roast beef.

Pie A pie is food surrounded (omringd) by pastry, normallybaked in the oven. The content of the pie can be sweet or savoury(gekruid). For example: apple pie (sweet) and steak and kidney (nier) pie(savoury).

Black pudding A thick sausage made with blood and fat.

Haggis This is normally eaten in Scotland. It’s sheep’s intestine(darm) stuffed with meat and vegetables.

Fish and Chips You will almost certainly go to a fish and chips shopwhen you visit Britain. You can buy fried potatoescalled chips there. They are usually accompanied by fish, peas … The chips used to be wrapped up (verpakt) innewspaper but now white paper is used. They often ask if you want salt and vinegar (azijn)to be sprinkled over your chips. Be carefulbecause sometimes they give too much.

Jacked potato A potato baked in its skin (schil).

Pint of beer The English pint of beer has to be filled until the edge (rand), withouta head (schuimkraag). A pint is about 0,5 litre. You can also orderhalf a pint.

14.9

WHAT THE VICTORIANS ATEThe Victorian age (tijdperk) covers (omvat) the 71years from 1830 to 1901. For most of thisperiod Queen Victoria was on the throne. Itwas a time of enormous change in the livesof all Englishmen.During this time Britain became the mostpowerful (machtig) country in the world withthe largest empire (rijk) that had ever been.Britain ruled (regeerde) one fifth of theworld’s surface (oppervlakte) and one quarterof the people.In this week’s episode we’ll have a look atwhat people ate in the Victorian age.

We had an interview with historian andexpert in the Victorian age Dr BruceCadbury.

Dr Cadbury, was there a change in eating

habits (gewoontes) during the Victorian period?

Well, yes, there was. We see 1850 as a kind of turning

point.

Before 1850 up to one third of people living in cities

were very very poor. They could only eat bread and

dripping (vleesjus). But after 1850 the diet slowly got

better as wages (lonen) rose and cheaper food, such as

wheat (tarwe) and meat, came from abroad (buitenland).

I suppose (veronderstel) we could see a totally

different image in the rich houses?

Yes, of course. Rich people had a small army (leger) of

cooks and servants (bedienden).

They prepared enormous amounts of food.

What do you mean, enormous amounts?

To give you an example, breakfast alone could include

ham, tongue (tong), cold pheasant (fazant), partridge

(patrijs), beef, eggs, bacon, kidneys, toast, porridge

(pap), Indian and Chinese tea …

What about the quality of food in those

days?

The food industry knew its own kind of industrial revo-

lution. Big factories (fabrieken) started to produce mass

products. Bread, jam, margarine, biscuits, sweets and

many other types of food were sold at low cost.

Were there technical improvements

(verbeteringen)?

Refrigeration (afkoeling) was invented (uitvinden) and of

course there was the growth of the railways. These

two inventions made sure that food sold in shops was

fresher. Big stores such as Sainsbury, Boots, Marks

and Spencer and Woolworth appeared (verschijnen). And

the invention of canning (conserveren) brought more

variation into people’s diet.

Also during the 1800s, many famous modern brand

(merk) names appeared and food advertising (reclame)

began. Advertisements often tried to convince (overtui-

gen) people of the benefits (voordeel) of their food.

Well, Dr Cadbury, thanks for this interview.

Two men were in a restaurant and ordered fish. The waiter brought a dish with two fish, one larger than the other. One of the men said to the other, "Please help yourself." The other one said "Okay", and helped himself to the larger fish. After a tense silence, the first one said, "Really, now, ifyou had offered me the first choice, I would have taken the smaller fish!" The otherone replied, "What are you complaining for; you have it, don't you?"

OVER TO

Talk about the weather with your partner.

Did you know?THE WEATHER IN BRITAINMany people say that it rains all the time in the U.K. This is not really true and the U.K. gets no more rain in a yearthan many other European countries. Typical of the Englishweather is that it is hard to predict. This is why a lot of peopleoften watch weather forecasts on TV.Most parts of the U.K. have mild winters and in summer thetemperature rarely goes higher than 30° C.When two Englishmen meet their first conversation is usuallyabout the weather. It is a safe and polite subject.

Examples:

What will it be like in York tomorrow? It'll be wet in the morning but it'll be warm in the afternoon.

Will it be cold in Berlin tomorrow?Yes, it'll be cold there in the morning and very cold in the evening.

Many people from other countries, and even some English people, call everyone from theBritish Isles English. But that’s a mistake. After all, you don’t call everyone from BelgiumFlemish. So don’t be surprised if the Welsh - or the Scots - get angry when someone callsthem English!

The English are the people from England

The Scots are the people from Scotland

The Welsh are the people from Wales.

The Irish are the people from Ireland.

That’s easy to remember, but what about this:

The British Isles are the two large islands (Britain and Ireland) and all the other small islands around them.

Great Britain (GB), or just Britain, has three parts: England, Scotland and Wales.

The United Kingdom (UK) is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The Republic of Ireland is NOT part ofthe United Kingdom.

The Union Jack is the British flag. It was designed in 1606 by king James I Stuart. The name comes from the dialect word ‘jack’, which means ‘sailor’. The flag used tobe seen on the ships ofthe Royal Fleet. The flagcombines the Irish, Scottishand English flags.
