W E LCO M E BACK! We hope you have had a nice summer holiday where you have slept late, had many ice creams and gone swimming.

As you read this, you will be starting your last year in Elementary School. By Christmas you will have your first grades. How do you feel about that? Are you excited or are you nervous? Next year you will start Middle School.

Right now you have a lot of energy but as it gets darker in November and December, you might forget why you are at school and learning things. So let us dream about the future!

What is your dream job? Would you like to work with people or animals, or do you prefer sitting in front of a computer?

Maybe you would like to work with your hands, construct things or have a creative job? Or maybe you would like to protect people, or take care of them? Why not become a politician and change the world and make it a better place?

Would you like to learn more about global warming, history, or places far away? Now is a good time to start researching what kind of education you need to reach your goal!

Maybe you haven’t thought about your future yet and are just enjoying the here and now. We hope that you will find many inspiring texts in this book that will make you think about who you are and the world in which we live. Hopefully, you will learn new things and most importantly we want your English to improve!

Join us, and let’s get started!

T H E A R T O F L E A R NI NG A L A N G UA G E Speaking in English might seem tricky at first, but don't worry! Everyone makes mistakes. Here are some tips on how to improve your English speaking skills and feel confident.

Be patient

Learn useful phrases

Learning to speak English takes time. It's like learning any new skill, one step at a time.

Learn helpful phrases you can use in various situations. It makes talking easier. This helps boost your confidence. This way, you don't have to come up with new words all the time. You can find useful phrases in the Treasure Trove on page 118–119.

Speak slowly and simply Don't rush. Speak slowly, using simple words and sentences. Begin with easy sentences and make them more complex over time.

Be positive Don't be hard on yourself. Applaud yourself when you dare to speak, even if you make mistakes. If you say something wrong, it's okay. Focus on getting better.

Be yourself Use your own words and speak in your own way. It's okay to be unique.

confidence come up with don't rush complex applaud yourself you dare

självförtroende komma på hetsa inte komplicerade applådera dig själv du vågar

2023-12-11 10:27

Take any chance you get to practise Speak English to yourself (in front of the mirror), with friends, relatives or record yourself reading a text and ask for feedback on your pronunciation. Or even try to think in English. If you have the chance to practise English at school, go for it, don't stay silent!

Listen and watch Watch TV shows and movies with English subtitles, especially cartoons, and listen to English music to understand better.

Do you already feel confident?

Don’t compare Everyone learns differently.

Concentrate on your progress, not how quickly others are learning.

Challenge yourself to use the language in new ways by engaging in debates and disussions about more advanced and complex topics or engaging in a hobby using English.

Communication tricks If you don't know a word, describe it in other words or use gestures to explain instead of using Swedish words. The goal is to be understood, not to be perfect.

Remember, we are all different. For some of you, English is easy and fun, while some of you find it more challenging. Don’t worry about making mistakes. Go ahead, give it a try, and have fun!

• What can you do to become a more confident speaker?

On My Way Home A windy, cold, and rainy evening in February, on my way home. People walking past quickly. Hats pulled down. Hands in pockets. Something made me turn my head. I don't know what it was. Maybe a sound or just a feeling. And there, under a roadside bench, I saw a small black shape. It was a cat. Not really a kitten, but not fully grown. It was shaking. A little ball of lonely nothing.

I walked over and sat on the bench. I watched the rain tapping and splashing. Then I knelt on the ground and put my hand out towards the cat. The cat hissed at me - ears flat against its head. And then its paw flew out, sharp claws trying to scratch me. I pulled back quickly.

The next evening, on my way home, the cat was still there; curled up and shivering. People walking past. Hurrying. Busy. Nobody looking at the cat. I sighed. How sad. I got to my knees and put my hand out again. Hiss, and attack with claws.

The next evening, the cat purred. I got down slowly and put my hand out again. This time the cat just watched the hand get closer.

And then, the cat pulled away. But then purred again and started to lick its front paw. I stood up. Smiling and happy. I wanted to point out this lovely black cat to someone walking by. But nobody would stop. Nobody would even look at my invisible cat.

The next evening a miracle happened. The cat came out from under the bench and stretched its back and legs. It looked up at me, miaowed quietly and then rubbed its head against the bench leg near my foot.

But let me tell you the best bit. Somebody else saw the cat! A young boy, ten or eleven years old, on his way home from school. He stopped and got down on his knees. I held my breath. The cat looked at the boy and let him stroke her! The boy shivered ever so slightly and smiled.

“You’re a good girl!” he said. The cat purred, her claws going out and then in. Out and in.

The boy stood, wiped dirt from his trousers and walked away. He kept looking over his shoulder, back at the cat, and grinning from ear to ear. The boy had seen the cat! Touched the cat! It was like she was becoming … real. My invisible cat was becoming a real cat!

The next evening, somebody had beaten me to the bench. It was the same boy from before. And now he was with a grown-up. The grownup was carrying a box, which they gently put my beautiful real black cat in. I followed them quietly when they walked away. Back to their home. A little fence. Garden. Big apple tree. I watched as they took the cat from the box. The cat jumped into the boy’s arms. The boy pushed his face into the cat’s furry back. Love.

➼ purred pulled away invisible miracle stretched rubbed I held my breath
