12

Getting Started

Hvert kapittel åpner med en kort innledning som forteller hva kapitlet handler om. Se innledningen på side 17 for eksempel.

Alle kapitlene er delt inn i mindre deler. Disse er merket A, B, C osv. Finn del B i kapittel 2.

Noen ganger blir du bedt om å se på noe i Crossroads 8B. For eksempel, se side 154 i Crossroads 8A og skumles oppgave 6. Så finner du den aktuelle siden i Crossroads 8B. På slutten av hvert kapittel er det en samling oppgaver som heter Task Bank. Her finner du varierte oppgaver. Se side 54.

Noen oppgaver tar litt mer tid. Dette er oppgaver som skal gjøres som lekser eller som forberedelse til presentasjoner. Slike oppgaver finner du under overskriften Dig Into It. Se side 55.

Hvert kapittel inneholder også noe som heter Language Corner.

Her finner du nyttig informasjon om det engelske språket og om språklæring. Se side 54.

Crossroads 8A

Det er viktig å lære seg nye ord på engelsk. Prøv å lære alle ordene i margen. På slutten av kapitlet finner du også Word Quest. Det er en samling av de viktigste ordene i kapitlet. Se side 55.

Crossroads 8B

Crossroads 8B er delt i to. Den første delen heter “Enjoy Reading”.

Her finner du engelske dikt, noveller, eventyr, utdrag fra en roman og en avisartikkel. Etter hver tekst er det noen oppgaver.

13

Getting Started

Den andre delen av Crossroads 8B er en grammatikkdel. Den er skrevet på norsk. Oppgavene i denne delen er også på norsk.

Tips – du kan også øve på grammatikk på nettsiden til Crossroads.

3 Language Learning Learning New Words

Noen gode idéer: • Prøv å lære så mange ord og uttrykk som mulig. Skriv opp nye ord og uttrykk i gloseboka. Si nye ord høyt flere ganger, og skriv dem flere ganger på et ark. Dette gjør det lettere å huske dem.

• Test ordforrådet med jevne mellomrom. Skriv et ord på engelsk på den ene siden av et ark. Skriv det norske ordet på den andre siden. Test deg selv! Du kan også gjøre dette sammen med en annen i klassen.

• Det er en glosetest til hvert kapittel. Husk å gjøre den!

• Har du engelsk ordbok? En god ordbok hjelper deg med informasjon om nye ord. Hvordan bruker du ordboka?

Se side 142 i Crossroads 8B.

preparing – det å forberede Crossroads 8A 14

Preparing for Writing and Discussions

Idémyldringer før du skriver eller diskuterer, er gull verdt! Først tenker du på hva du skal skrive eller snakke om. Så skriver du opp disse idéene. Bruk nøkkelord, ikke hele setninger.

Idémyldringer kan du ha alene eller i grupper. De hjelper deg til å finne på noe å si før en diskusjon, for eksempel.

Les mer om idémyldring og språklæring i Crossroads 8B, side 130.

Sports regard – betrakte The Commonwealth (of Nations) – samband av tidligere britiske kolonier

Many people visit Britain because they like football! The game is an important part of British culture. In fact, football is an important part of the identity of millions of people in Britain.

Many British football clubs also have supporters all over the world. They come to Britain to watch their favourite club play.

Do you support a British football club?

Rugby is the second most popular British sport on TV and many regard it as Britain’s national sport. In Crossroads 9A you will meet two girls who play rugby. They will tell you all about this sport.

huge – svær, diger

Crossroads 8A

Most people in Norway know very little about cricket, but in Britain it is a huge sport. It is also one of the most popular sports in Commonwealth countries.

The British Isles

Some people were sceptical when London was given the 2012 Summer Olympics. However, the opening and closing ceremonies were spectacular and the sporting events were a great success. Most Britons felt proud of their country. A lot of people also came to the Paralympics. They were the first Paralympic games ever to be sold out.

History

If you are interested in history, Britain is the place to be. Have you heard of the Celts or the Saxons? You have probably heard of the Romans and Julius Caesar. They have all left their mark on British history. Some of the most famous landmarks are standing stones like the ones in the picture. We are not sure what they were used for.

Look at the pictures. They are not from Spain, Italy or France, but from Britain! There are some fantastic beaches here. Some of the most scenic ones are in Scotland and Northern Ireland. And there are some great surfing beaches in Cornwall.

About eight million people live in London. It is the biggest city in Europe. There is so much to see and experience here! Red doubledecker buses and black cabs. A fantastic underground system called the Tube. Charming small shops and restaurants in the side streets. The Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace.

Theatres and cinemas. You can look forward to learning more about London in chapter six.

Shop Till You Drop

Are you a shopaholic? Then you should visit Great Britain. All the big brand stores can be found in cities like Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Newcastle, Cardiff, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

London is probably the favourite destination for shopaholics.

If you go to Oxford Street, be careful! It’s a popular place for pickpockets, as well.

27

The British Isles

Celtic leaders were often women. One famous leader was Boadicea. She and her tribe destroyed the Roman town of Londinium (London) in about AD 60. Why did she do this?

Because the Romans had taken her land, and flogged her and her daughters. In revenge, she led an army that killed about 30,000 people and burned London to the ground.

tribe – stamme, folkegruppe settle – bosette seg ancestor – en av forfedrene

Crossroads 8A

People have lived in Britain since the Early Stone Age. At that time Britain was not an island. Celtic tribes settled in Britain around 700 BC. The Celts are the ancestors of many people in Highland Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and Ireland today.

Crossroads 8A 28

emperor – keiser what the island was like – hvordan øya var occupy – okkupere warrior – kriger wall – mur, vegg border – grense protect – beskytte attack – angripe fled – flyktet (flee, fled, fled)

The Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar came to Britain in 55 BC to see what the island was like. The Romans then occupied most of England and Wales in AD 43, but not Scotland. The people who lived there, the Picts and the Scots, were tough warriors. Emperor Hadrian decided they should build a wall along the border between England and Scotland to protect the Romans.

The Romans stayed in Britain until AD 409. When they left, new people attacked Britain. The first ones were the Angles and the Saxons. The Celts lost their fight against them and fled to Wales, Scotland and Cornwall.

Crossroads 8A 29

The British Isles

Come on, Broderick! I think we’d better start running westwards. The Anglo-Saxons don’t want us here!

The last group of people to invade Britain was the Normans in 1066. They were descendants of Vikings who lived in northern France. Their leader became known as William the Conqueror because he and his army defeated the English.

The Norman Conquest is very important in English history.

The Normans spoke French, of course. This slowly changed the language spoken in England in 1066. And it helped turn it into the English language we speak today.

invade – invadere descendants of Vikings – etterkommere av vikingene conqueror – erobrer defeat – vinne over

The Vikings Crossroads 8A 30

monastery – munkekloster convent – nonnekloster hard – her: vanskelig farmland – dyrkbar mark valuable – verdifull

By AD 660 most of England had become Christian. There were monasteries and convents all over the country. In 793 the Vikings attacked a monastery on the island of Lindisfarne in northern England. They killed the monks and stole all their gold and silver. The Vikings stayed in Britain for almost three hundred years.

Who were they?

The British Isles

The Vikings were people who lived in Denmark, Sweden and Norway over a thousand years ago. In those days it was hard to find good farmland. Many young men sailed out to find new land. They often stole valuable things from other people.

Viking words

Did you know that some English words are old Viking words? Egg, window and husband are just some examples.

sailor – sjømann dragon – drage decorate – utsmykke, dekorere scare – skremme enemy – fiende fierce-looking – her: med krigersk utseende frightening – skremmende

Crossroads 8A

The Vikings were great sailors. Their biggest ships were called longships or dragon ships. They were decorated with dragon’s heads to scare the enemy. But maybe it was the fierce-looking Vikings who were the most frightening!

31

Did you know this about the Vikings?

c. 300 BC: The Celts settled in Britain.

c. 43 BC: The Romans invaded Britain.

c. 450 AD: Angles, Saxons and other Germanic groups pushed the Celts westwards.

found – grunnlegge merchant – kjøpmann coin – mynt

c. 838 AD: Norwegian Vikings invaded Dublin.

The British Isles

They founded Dublin, the capital of Ireland.

They were warriors, but also merchants.

They made their own coins.

The Empire Crossroads 8A

colonization – kolonialisering century – århundre set – her: gå ned The British Empire – Det britiske imperiet cover – dekke surface – overflate at least – her: minst

Colonization started in the 17th century. By the 19th century Britain had colonies all over the world. People used to say “The sun never sets on the British Empire”. That is because British colonies covered over 25 percent of the surface of the Earth.

So it was always daytime in at least one of them.

32

The British Isles

gain – vinne, få independence – uavhengighet

Three of the largest colonies gained independence from Britain as early as the 18th and 19th centuries: The USA in 1776 Australia in 1788 New Zealand in 1840

5 Boadicea was a great warrior and leader.

Most military leaders are men. Why do you think this is? Discuss.

6 The Vikings brought Scandinavian words to Britain. Far more words go the opposite way now. Write a list of words you think we have borrowed from English. Discuss your list in pairs.

7 Play Hangman with your partner using words from “The Vikings”.

Crossroads 8A

Most of the colonies became independent in the 20th century.

Nearly all of them joined the Commonwealth of Nations. This is an association of former colonies plus Great Britain. The Commonwealth has 54 member states.

The British Isles

1 Why is it important not to mix up England and Britain?

2 What is meant by the expression “The sun never sets on the British Empire”?

Crossroads 8A

Many people call Britain “England” and the British “English”. The Scots and the Welsh do not like being called English. They have their own history, culture and identity.

England is the largest country in Europe. Great Britain is the largest island. And London is the largest city in both Britain and Europe.

Did you know that the English drink more tea than any other people in the world? They drink twenty times more tea than the Americans.

Crossroads 8A

In Scotland they use Gaelic as well as English on road signs, at railway stations and at airports. About 70,000 people understand Gaelic. It is the first language of about 30,000 speakers in the Western Isles.

Scotland is mountainous, but there are not many high peaks.

Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain, is in Scotland. It is only 1,343 metres high.

Have you ever seen a Scot in a kilt? It is the Scottish national costume. People only wear it on special occasions, not every day.

Scotland has its own Parliament in Edinburgh. However, the Parliament of the United Kingdom (in London) makes decisions on foreign policy and defence. Many Scots believe that Scotland should leave the United Kingdom and become an independent country.

Many people believe there is a sea monster in Loch Ness. She is called Nessie and is the most famous sea monster in the world.

But nobody has proved that she exists. Many people have tried to take a picture of her. There are some photos which show something that looks like a monster, but they are all out of focus.

Every year thousands of tourists travel to Loch Ness. They all hope to see the famous sea monster.

Wales became part of the United Kingdom in the 16th century.

English became the only official language and, little by little, people stopped speaking Welsh. Today there are many people who are trying to keep the Welsh language alive. Signs at airports, railway stations and many other places are in both English and Welsh now.

Wales is a beautiful country with scenic mountains and valleys, and stunning coastlines. Many tourists visit Wales to go hiking in the mountains. One of the most popular hiking areas is Eryri National Park. The English name for this national park is Snowdonia.

In 1997 there was a referendum in both Wales and Scotland.

People there said they wanted an assembly in Wales and a parliament in Scotland. So now most political decisions about Wales and Scotland are made there, and not in London.

King Arthur – A Welsh Legend A long, long time ago a boy called Arthur was born in Wales.

He was born out of wedlock. His father was a king and his mother was the wife of a duke. He was brought up far away from his parents. When his father died, the country was without a king.

The great lords decided that they should arrange a tournament.

The knight who won it would be the next king.

Arthur had an older foster brother. His name was Kay. He wanted to participate in the tournament. The whole family went with him.

But Kay forgot his sword. He asked Arthur if he could go back and get it for him. Arthur went all the way back, but he could not find the sword. Instead he saw a sword that was plunged into a stone. “Let me try to pull it out,” he thought. He did it easily.

The British Isles

Arthur hurried to his brother with the sword. In the blade of the sword there was an inscription which said: “Whoever pulls this sword from the stone is the rightful king of Britain”. So Kay knelt before Arthur because he understood that Arthur was the new king.

Ireland is divided into two parts. The Republic of Ireland (not part of the United Kingdom) is the largest part. It is often called the Emerald Isle because it is very green. The Irish flag is also green. Northern Island is the other part of Ireland. It is part of the United Kingdom.

Most people in the Republic of Ireland are Catholics. Most people in Northern Ireland are Protestants. Most of the Catholics in Northern Ireland want to be reunited with the rest of Ireland, but the Protestants feel they are British. For many years there was violent conflict between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland and many people were killed.

Northern Ireland is a perfect place for outdoor activities like surfing, windsurfing, sailing and kayaking. You can go horse riding or mountain biking there, too. Did you know that the “Titanic”

All the birds came to the magpie. They asked her to teach them how to build nests. For the magpie is very good at building nests.

So she put all the birds around her and began to show them how to do it. First of all she took some mud and made a sort of round cake with it.

“Oh, that’s how it’s done,” said the thrush. She flew away. So that’s how thrushes build their nests.

Then the magpie took some twigs and arranged them round in the mud.“Now I know all about it,” said the blackbird, and flew away. So that’s how blackbirds make their nests.

After this the magpie took some twigs and twined them round the outside. “Now I know how to build a nest!” said the sparrow, and flew away. So that’s how sparrows build their nests.
