Velkommen til New Flight 1 Extra! I denne leseboka i engelsk vil du finne lesestykker, vitser, dikt, sanger og mye mer. Boka har åtte kapitler, og hvert av disse kapitlene har et bestemt tema: skole, dyr, mat, Australia og andre temaer. Kanskje du vil arbeide med noen av disse temaene i andre fag også, for eksempel i norsk, geografi eller samfunnskunnskap. De fleste kapitlene har fire tekster merket A, B, C og D. Kanskje du syns noen av dem er litt vanskelige, men det er ikke nødvendig å lese alle tekstene like nøye. I noen er det nok å forstå det viktigste innholdet, og noen kan selvsagt sløyfes helt. Foran hvert kapittel står det litt om hva kapitlet inneholder og hva du vil lære om i dette kapitlet under overskriftene Kultur og Litteratur. Kultur betyr at du vil lære forskjellige ting om livet i engelsktalende land, for eksempel om skoler, store byer, urbefolkning i disse landene osv. Denne boka handler mest om Storbritannia, USA, Australia og New Zealand. Litteratur betyr de forskjellige sjangrene eller typer litteratur du vil finne i hvert kapittel. Du vil for eksempel finne et eventyr, en artikkel, et intervju, dikt og andre sjangere i kapittel 5. Boka har mange bilder som er fine å se på, men de kan også være nyttige å bruke når en skal snakke sammen om et emne. Til hvert stykke står det gloser i margen og bakerst i boka fins et alfabetisk glossar. Det kan også være lurt å ha en ordbok å slå opp i. Håper du får et hyggelig og lærerikt skoleår med New Flight 1 Extra!

Every person has the right to live a life without fear. We should feel safe at school, at work, at home and on the streets. We are not always safe. Just read these cuttings from the newspaper:
Here is the news!
Pickpocket on High Street “I don’t know when it happened and I don’t know how it happened. All I know is that my wallet wasn’t there when I was going to pay for my coffee.” Len Hughes, 62, had his wallet stolen by a pickpocket yesterday. He was in the High Street shopping area. Many other people also had their wallets stolen by the thief that day. fear – frykt safe – trygg, sikker a wallet – en/ei lommebok a pickpocket – en lommetyv / ein lommetjuv stolen – stjålet / stole

Hooligans ruin football match The football match between Mansfield and Fulham this weekend ended in chaos. Young hooligans started fighting on the terraces. They also threw things down onto the football pitch. The referee decided to stop the game. Many people were hurt. They had to be taken to hospital.

14-year-old knocked down at school A 14-year-old boy was knocked down at school yesterday. He had been bullied by two of his schoolmates for some time. When he told this to his teacher, the two got angry and knocked him down. He is now in hospital because he broke his arm. Mrs Laura Peterson is headmistress at his school. She says, “This is very serious. We will not accept bullying and violence at our school. We have reported it to the police.”

Young shoplifters caught More and more children are shoplifting. Yesterday two 10-year-olds were stopped when they were trying to leave the bookshop W. H. Smith. In their bags they had magazines and DVDs that they had not paid for. Shop detective McCoy says this happens far too often.

Chapter 7
They were five friends: Maya, Renée, Darcy, Brianna and Candace. Candace was their leader. She was very popular and she decided who was going to be a friend and who was not. One night Darcy had a sleep-over party. Maya was not invited. Candace had decided she was no longer one of the group. Maya did not know about this until she got a phone call in the evening.
B
The girls A voice said something I could not understand, and I heard laughing in the background. I said, “What?” The voice said something else unclear. I suddenly knew who it was. Then Darcy’s voice said, “I just wondered if your mother knew that here in America we have white fillings in teeth, not gold. And we all wonder if you know what mouthwash is. It comes in bottles, usually it’s green…” I dropped the phone. Momma was looking at me. “It was nothing,” I mumbled. “Just some kids.” The phone rang again. None of us moved. Then it rang a second time. My sister, Lena, grabbed it and said, “Hello?” Then she said, “Okay, I’ll tell her. Bye.” Lena turned to me and said, “Someone said to tell you it’s not nice to hang up on people.” “Who was that?” my mom asked. I wanted to say, “No one.” Or, “Don’t worry about it, Momma.” Or, “It was a wrong number.” But nothing came out of my mouth. “This was someone you know?” Momma asked. I couldn’t answer. My mom grabbed the phone and dialed the number of the latest call. I put my head down on the table. I wondered if I had stinky breath for real. “This is Mrs Koptiev,” Momma said. “Who is this? … Who? …
Watch out!
113
Well, a call came from you, a mean call.” Then there was silence while she listened. I looked up to watch her. She was angry. “Well, you tell your sister and those girls that next time, I call the police!” Mom reached for my hand. “These are horrible girls to hurt you.” She shook her head. “My Maya they chose for their cruelty?” I could not stop my tears then. I ran to my room. Momma followed me. “They hate me,” I told her. “Hate,” she spat. “Hate from such people means nothing.” “I don’t even know what I DID!” I cried. “Did? You did nothing. This isn’t about did. This is about bad girls being stupid.” “How am I ever going to go back to school?” I cried. I felt like I was going to throw up. “How? You just go. Don’t look at those girls. You are better without them. This isn’t friends, this is dirt. This is less than dirt.” Amy Goldman Koss (adapted)
Each new chapter in this book is told by one of the girls. In this way we get to know how each of them feels. Here are some examples:
Maya: “Candace was popular and she had picked me. That made me popular too. Renée, Darcy and Brianna became my friends that way. And now? Now that Candace had decided I was no longer a friend, would any of them think about me?” Renée: “It didn’t feel right. When Darcy called to invite me and told me she wasn’t inviting Maya, it gave me a stomach-ache.”
114
Chapter 7
Darcy: “I had to prove that I was loyal to Candace. I had to show her and the others whose side I was on.” Brianna: “We always, always laughed at Candace’s games. I thought they were tests, like walking on hot coals or something.”
Watch out!
115
Candace: “They always tried to show me how well they understood me. They were trying to prove that they felt just as I did. My mom would say that I was lucky to be so important to my friends.”
Let’s talk! 1 Why wasn’t Maya invited to the sleep-over party? 2 Why do you think Darcy called Maya? 3 How did Renée react when she heard that Maya wasn’t invited to the party? 4 What can you say about Candace?

On 20 April 1999 two teenage boys became murderers. Twelve pupils, one teacher and the two boys themselves died that day. Columbine High School will never be the same.
A sad day at Columbine High School The morning of 20 April 1999 was a normal morning in Littleton, Colorado, USA. People had breakfast and talked about this and that. It was spring and life was good. But soon this place would be in the news all over the world. This would become a dark day. Most people would say that Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris were like any other teenagers. They had met when they started at Columbine High School and they became friends. They both liked to play computer games. They visited each other and talked about girls. From the outside everything seemed normal. Nobody knew what was coming. Dylan and Eric were angry teenagers. They were full of hate. In 1998 they started planning a massacre at their school. On the Internet they found recipes for bombs and other explosives. They collected knives and guns. They chose the date: 20 April 1999, Adolf Hitler’s birthday. They entered the school area with backpacks and bags filled with bombs. They had knives and guns under their coats. Now life turned into a nightmare at Columbine High School. Dylan and Eric went from room to room. They threatened people, hurt people, killed people and threw bombs. They even shot at the police. The place was a chaos of blood, tears and confusion. About an hour after they entered the school, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris ended the massacre. They killed themselves.

Chapter 7
Columbine is not the only school where there has been violence and murder. It is impossible to understand how such things can happen. It doesn’t help to ask why. But the parents who lost their children in the Columbine massacre will always ask themselves how it could happen.

Chapter 7
Ellen is 14 years old. This summer she is working for Lilith, an old lady who needs somebody to take her around and help her with different things. One day they are in a shop. Ellen sees a beautiful pearl ring there and really wants to have it. So she takes it.
D
The pearl ring It was only afterwards I realized what I had done. By then it was too late to put it back. I went up to Lilith. The ring was in my pocket.
Watch out!
121
Lilith looked down at me. “Shall we go now?” Her voice was low. “I don’t care.” Lilith opened the door. I followed her into the hot street. “That Mrs Parsons is a fine woman. Runs that big store all by herself since her husband died. A fine, fine woman.” I felt the pearl ring in my pocket. It felt hot. I swallowed. “Where are we going now?” I tried to sound happy.
122
Chapter 7
“I thought we would go over there to that bench and rest a bit before we start home. Would you like that?” I could think of nothing I would like less, but I nodded. I did not want to rest. I wanted to run. I kept seeing the big sign across the street: Parsons’ General Store. Lilith sat beside me and looked across the street. I smiled, but Lilith did not smile back. What was she waiting for? Surely we had been here long enough to be rested by now. The silence grew longer. I tried to think of something to say, but for the first time all summer I was speechless. Then came Lilith’s voice, “You wanted it very much, didn’t you?” “Wanted? What?” I needed time to think. “Don’t make me say it for you.” I felt the ring in my pocket. “Maybe,” Lilith said, “we should just start at the end instead of at the beginning. Shall we?” I moved my lips to form words, but no sound came. “We can walk back across the street and tell Mrs Parsons.” “What … what will we say?” My voice shook. “We will say we want to return something we have not paid for.” “Will you say it for us?” “No. You will say it. It will not be too difficult. It will be hard, but not too difficult. Shall we go now?” “You are back, Mrs Adams? Did you forget something?” “Yes. We forgot something. We forgot something very important.” “Well, then,” Mrs Parsons said. “What can I do to help you?” “Ellen wishes to tell you something.” Lilith squeezed my hand. I stared down and took a big breath. I didn’t know what I was going to say until I heard my own voice: “We … I mean … I … took a pearl ring … I want to give it back. I will not do it again.” “You may go now, Ellen,” Lilith spoke softly and very slowly, “and put it back where you found it.” I picked up the ring without looking at Mrs Parsons. I walked down the long, long walk to the jewelry counter and put the ring back in its place. “Now, Mrs Parsons,” Lilith’s voice was normal again. “I wonder if

123
you have the time to show us what you have in rings. Do you have anything in birthstones?” “Yes, we do, Mrs Adams. We have them for every month of the year. What month did you want?” “June,” Lilith answered. “June?” Mrs Parsons looked puzzled. “That would be …” She checked with a chart. “That is what I thought. Pearl.” Mrs Parsons took the same pearl ring from the same place and showed it to Lilith. I could not watch. I looked at the floor and counted the red spots in the linoleum. “We will take it,” Lilith said. She opened her purse and took out two one-dollar bills. “Ellen, you pay Mrs Parsons for the ring. It costs one dollar and seventy-nine cents plus tax.” Outside on the street, as I carried the pearl ring in its white box, Lilith said, “The ring is yours, Ellen. It is your birthstone.” She never mentioned the pearl ring again. And she never asked why. Lee Hadley/Annabelle Irwin (adapted)

live and work at home and use radio communication with their teachers. 3 The natives of Australia are called
Aboriginals. When they dance, they often paint their faces and bodies. 4 There are many volcanic mountains in New Zealand. One of them is Ruapehu. The name means “exploding hole”.

Do you want to visit a country that has it all? Then go to
The land of the long white cloud When the Maoris came to New Zealand, they called their country Aotearoa. The name means “the land of the long white cloud�. A Maori legend says that New Zealand was born to Rangi, the sky father, and Papa, the earth mother. Tane, the son of Rangi and Papa, pushed his parents apart. He decorated Rangi with the sun, moon and stars and Papa with plant and animal life. Rangi was so sad that he was parted from his wife that he started to cry. The tears from his eyes created oceans and lakes. Today, about ten per cent of the people are Maori. Most of them live in cities. The Maoris were very good at wood carving and bone carving. Tattooing was also a part of their culture. In 1840, queen Victoria of Britain was made the ruler of New Zealand. Soon the first people from Britain moved into the country. Many of them became sheep farmers. Today, there are around 60 million sheep in New Zealand. Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand. It is a fantastic place to go if you like water sports. Summers are quite warm and winters are mild. Auckland is also a good place to go shopping.

How would you like to move to a country where you don’t understand the language? It must be difficult, don’t you think? Jeffrey Thompson (15) from New South Wales did just that.
B
An Aussie in Norway – Jeffrey, why did you come here to Trondheim, Norway to live and go to school? Norway is a long, long way from Australia! – Oh yes, it is! Well, my father came over here to work and the rest of us came with him. – Did you know anything about Norway before you got here? – Not much. Many things surprised me, like the weather. When I came, it was summer in Norway and winter in Australia, so the temperatures were about the same. But then it started getting colder and colder here! – What differences are there between Australian and Norwegian schools? – Norwegian school days are shorter, and I don’t wear a uniform here. – How about the teachers? – Australian teachers are stricter. In Australia you get a detention if you chew gum in class or if you’re late for school. – Do you miss Australia, Jeffrey? – Yes, I do. I miss my dog and cat. I also miss the weather. – You have some rare animals in Australia, don’t you? – Yes, we have the platypus, the kangaroo and the koala. The platypus is my favourite.

– Don’t you have sharks, too? – Yes, we have. We also have a lot of poisonous snakes and dangerous spiders. – That sounds scary! What else can you tell us about Australia? – Oh, the weather is fantastic! Even in winter, it’s the best! We have Christmas in summer, but Santa Claus in shorts is normal to me! – What do you do in your spare time? – Well, I play baseball, and I work a lot on the computer! Here in Norway I like skiing. I tried snowboarding, but I was no good at it. – What will you miss the most when you go home? – My Norwegian friends, I think. But we can always write e-mails!

Exploring New Holland July 1770 THURSDAY 12th [New Holland] More natives came today. This time seven – five men, a woman and and a boy. They were naked but for red and white paint upon their

bodies. Tupia gave them a gift of fish, but they did not want raw fish, they wanted Tarheto to cook it for them. These natives are a small and slender people. They are dark in colour. Some have curl to their hair, some have straight hair, soft like European hair. They follow everything with their eyes. They have only a few ornaments they wear upon their arms, and the bones they wear in their noses are fishbones, not human. We asked, using gestures, about the leaping beasts. The natives called these Kanguru. SATURDAY 14th [New Holland] Lieutenant Gore, out in the country, shot one of the marvellous Kangurus that go on two legs. It’s a little one. The fur is short and the colour of mouse. And never in my entire life have I seen or imagined a creature anything like it. SUNDAY 15th [New Holland] Tarheto and I went about the land hunting turtles. I am afraid of the alligators, but Tarheto laughs at me. We had the Kanguru Lieutenant Gore shot, for our dinner today. I liked it even better than roast pork.
August 1770 TUESDAY 21st [New Holland] We have seen the entire coast of this land, which Captain Cook has claimed in the name of England. No European has ever seen or dared what we have. The Western coast may belong to the Dutch. But the East coast is ours, and we have most certainly earned it.

Ned Kelly died more than 100 years ago. He was an outlaw who rode a horse, put on a suit of armour and fought police. Today, Ned Kelly is an Australian legend.
D
The Ned Kelly story Ned Kelly was born in 1854. His parents were Irish. When he was 12 years old, his father died. Ned’s family moved to Greta near Melbourne. This was wild country and life was hard. The best land was owned by rich so-called squatters. Ned’s family was very poor. Many poor people in Australia stole horses and cows from the squatters to stay alive. At 16, Ned was sent to prison for three years for horse-stealing. In April 1878, a police officer said that Ned’s mother had attacked him. He also said that Ned had shot at him. Mrs Kelly was sent to jail for three years. A 100 pound reward was offered for Ned. Ned and his brother Dan ran away. In October 1878 Ned and two friends got into a fight with the police. Ned shot and killed three police officers. The reward for Kelly and his gang rose to 8,000 pounds. That is the same as 2 million dollars today! Many people helped Ned in different ways. Two years later the Kelly gang robbed two banks, but nobody got hurt. Many people started looking on Ned as a kind of hero. In June 1880 the Kelly gang were surrounded by police. The four outlaws put on suits of armour and defended themselves. Ned could have escaped, but he tried to save his brother and friends. He was wounded by 28 bullets, and the others were killed. Ned was sentenced to death and hanged in Melbourne jail on 11 November 1880. He was 25 years old. Today, Ned Kelly is just a criminal to some people. Others see him as a brave and daring man, a typical Australian.
