Welcome to Stepping Stone Fjärde upplagan!

Stepping Stone är ett basläromedel i engelska för vuxna och även för ungdomar som inte har läst eller inte behärskar grundskolans kurs. Stepping Stone kan med fördel också användas på gymnasiets introduktionsprogram.

I Stepping Stone Delkurs 3 får du möta människor från olika delar av den engelsk­ språkiga världen. Du får vidareutveckla din språkliga kompetens, bland annat när det gäller att berätta om ditt liv och din familj, om skola, arbete och sport, att diskutera väder, attityder och värderingar, att be om hjälp och att hantera problem vid resor.

Den senaste reformen i grundläggande vuxenutbildning innebär att grundskolans kurs i engelska delas upp i fyra delkurser. Denna nya upplaga av Stepping Stone omfattar delkurs 3 och utmärks av: • stort fokus på undervisning enbart på engelska genom att förklaringar och instruktioner är på engelska • ordlistor med engelska synonymer till alla ord och uttryck • uppdelning av längre texter i kortare avsnitt, som är lättare att överblicka • logisk ordning inom varje kapitel, med fler sammanfattande övningar i slutet och fler hänvisningar mellan olika avsnitt • ett flertal kommunikations- och skrivövningar samt fördjupningsuppgifter • elevwebb som ger dig gott om möjligheter till extra träning • extra träning i form av nyskrivna Reading and talking topics Stepping Stone Delkurs 3 består av elevbok och elevwebb (för eleven) samt lärarpärm och lärarwebb (för läraren) Varje kapitel i elevboken innehåller två texter, en grundtext och ytterligare en text som i de flesta fall består av fakta om engelskspråkiga länder.

Dessutom finns övningar, ordlistor, självtest och facit. Elevwebben innehåller en stor mängd interaktiva övningar i ordförråd, grammatik och läsförståelse till samtliga kapitel i elevboken, samt ordlistor, länkar, ljudfiler i mp3-format, studieguider samt mini-grammar.

Välkommen på en fortsatt spännande resa i den engelsktalande världen med Stepping Stone!

Unit 1 When I was a kid I ate whatever food there was In this unit you can learn how to

• talk about yourself and other people

• talk to people when you have a meal together

• talk about eating habits

When I was a kid I ate whatever food there was (part 1) Sandra visits her old father once every week.

He is 92 years old now but still looks after himself and lives alone in the house he bought 50 years ago. “I don’t want to move to an old people’s home. I can look after myself,” he says.

Sandra Hello, Dad. How are you today?

Dad Who is it? Oh, it’s you, Sandra. My

eyes are worse nowadays, and I can’t find my glasses. Anyway, it’s nice to see you.

Sandra Can’t you find your glasses? They are on the table beside your

armchair. You always keep them there.

Dad Oh, thank you. Now I can watch television again. But I don’t really

miss it as most of the programmes are awful. They were much better before, I think. Don’t you think so, too?

Sandra I don’t know, really. I don’t have much time to watch TV. Dad, why

don’t you move to an old people’s home? They have a nice home near here where you can be much more comfortable.

Dad Don’t bring that up again! You know I don’t want to leave this house

after 50 years. I’m much better off here and I can still look after myself.

Sandra You’re such a stubborn old man!

Dad Enough of that.

Sandra Dad, I have some ham for your supper tonight.

Dad That’s kind of you. You know I like ham, it’s much better than all

that fast food people have these days like hamburgers, Chinese nosh and so on.

Sandra But you must try different food, that’s what makes life more

interesting.

Dad Well, I don’t know. When I was a kid I ate whatever food

there was, and I never complained.

When I was a kid I ate whatever food there was (part 2) (continues from page 8) Sandra Please don’t start that again, Dad!

Dad I can remember how hungry I was as a kid after the First World

War. And life wasn’t easier during the Second World War either when I had a family to feed. We grew all our vegetables and fruit in the garden. Do you remember?

Sandra Oh, yes! I can remember we had stewed rhubarb and custard for

dessert every day for three months just because there was rhubarb in the garden! The food we had was so boring. Give me Chinese food or hamburgers any day! But I can understand now why people had their ‘‘meat and two veg” followed by the same old ‘‘pudding” every Sunday.

Dad Yes, life was quite tough after two world wars. I think it was harder

for me to bring up a family than it is today. Nowadays you can just go out and buy anything you want. Don’t forget to bring some chicken when you come next week!

Sandra Dad, you’re only interested in the food I bring you. ‘‘The best way to

a man’s heart is through his stomach!”

Dad But it’s nice when you come and visit me anyway.

Food for thought Here is some information about eating habits in Britain.

‘‘The British don’t have any food culture.” ‘‘English cuisine has a bad reputation.” – These are comments you often hear about food in Britain.

French people tell jokes about English overcooked carrots and cabbage with micro­waved steak and kidney pie. Italians cannot understand how people in Britain serve spaghetti overcooked and as a main course. Even if the quality of coffee is better nowadays, many visitors to Britain still complain that it is often a lukewarm, watery grey liquid. The list is endless.

However, today this reputation is not really true. Cookery in Britain doesn’t have a strong identity of its own, and this is why there are so many restaurants all over the country which serve Chinese and Indian food. You can find these everywhere because of Britain’s links with its earlier colonies all over the world. Also, you can choose from French, Italian, Greek and many other European restaurants. Then, there are all the American-style fast food hamburger bars to choose from.

All this global influence means that people in Britain have new eating habits.

Most British families still have three meals a day. Breakfast is usually cereal, toast with marmalade, tea or coffee. Sometimes at weekends families have bacon and eggs. At lunchtime, some people eat in the canteen at work while others go out and have a pub lunch. At the pub, you can have a sandwich or a ploughman’s lunch (which consists of bread, cheese, pickled onions and lettuce) or perhaps a more traditional hot dish such as steak and kidney pie with chips and peas or the popular fish and chips. Of course, most people drink beer as part of their pub lunch.

For dinner, people usually have a hot meal at about 6–7 o’clock in the evening. In some families, they say tea, high tea or evening meal instead of dinner. Supper is usually a light meal which people eat later in the evening. Afternoon tea is rather old-fashioned now but some people, and especially visitors to Britain, still like to have it. Many cafes and hotels serve it. Afternoon tea is at about 4 o’clock and it consists of small cucumber sandwiches, scones with strawberry jam, small cakes and lots of tea.

round off • Talk about how food habits have changed since you were a child.

Also talk about what you usually eat nowadays.

• What types of restaurants do you like to go to? Chinese, fast food, others?

Why?

• Ask each other about what life is like for old people in the countries you come from:

– Where do old people live?

– Who looks after them?

– What do they need help with?

– What do old people like to do?

– At what age is a person “old”?

• Think back to Sandra’s dad on pages 8–11. Compare him and his situation to old people in your country.
