Welcome to Stepping Stone Femte 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.

Stepping Stone Delkurs 3 har ett starkt fokus på undervisning enbart på engelska genom att förklaringar och instruktioner står på engelska. Det finns en logisk ordning inom varje kapitel, med sammanfattande övningar i slutet och hänvisningar mellan avsnitt.

Femte upplagan av Stepping Stone innehåller även en rad förbättringar och nyheter, såsom: • uppdaterade texter och övningar • uppdaterad elevwebb som ger dig gott om möjligheter till extra träning • en förbättrad layout med nya foton och illustrationer Stepping Stone Delkurs 3 består av elevbok och elevwebb samt lärarwebb.

Varje kapitel i elevboken innehåller två texter, en grundtext och ytterligare en text (Step up) som i de flesta fall består av fakta om engelskspråkiga länder.

When we were kids we ate whatever food there was (part 1) Toby visits his sister, Sandra, for a meal and they talk about their old grandfather who has just had his 100th birthday. He now lives in an old people’s home although he still says he can look after himself.

Sandra Nice to see you, Toby. Dinner is served. Come and sit here.

Toby Thank you, Sandra. It’s nice to see you, too. The food smells good, and I’m really hungry. Now where are my glasses? They’re here somewhere.

Sandra Oh, Toby. You’re just like our old Granddad. “I can’t find my glasses,” he always says. Here you are, anyway.

They are on the table beside you.

Toby Oh, thank you. I need glasses now so I can watch television. But most of the programmes are awful. They were much better before. Don’t you think so, too?

Sandra I don’t know really. I don’t have much time to watch TV. Granddad always says the same about how bad the programmes are. You are just like him and just as stubborn as he used to be before he moved into the old people’s home.

Toby Ok, enough of that. By the way, I really like your home cooked meals much better than hamburgers, Chinese nosh and so on.

Sandra Again, you’re just like our Granddad! You must try different food, though.

That’s what makes life more interesting.

Toby Well, I don’t know. Even when you and I were kids, we ate whatever food there was, and we never complained.

Sandra And I think we never complained because our parents were so strict. By the way, would you like some more ham?

Toby No, thank you. I couldn’t eat another thing.

When we were kids we ate whatever food there was (part 2) (continues from page 8) Sandra Let’s move into the living room for coffee. I can’t remember how you like it. Do you take milk and sugar or do you like it black?

Toby Black for me, please. I remember how hungry Granddad said he always used to be when he was a kid, and even later when he had his family to feed during the war. But luckily they had a garden where they grew all their vegetables and fruit. Do you remember, Sandra?

Sandra Oh, yes! I remember when he told us they had stewed rhubarb and custard for dessert every day for three months just because there was rhubarb growing in the garden! And there was “meat and two veg” followed by the same old “pudding” for dessert every Sunday.

Toby Yes, I agree with you. Life in the old days when Granddad was young was quite tough though. It was much harder for him to bring up a family than it is for us today. Nowadays you can just go out and buy anything you want.

By the way, next time I come and visit you, can we have chicken for dinner?

Sandra You’re only interested in food when you come and visit me. People say that “the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!” But I think this goes for a woman’s heart as well. Anyway, it’s nice when you come and visit me.

Step up

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.

1 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 and Toby’s grandfather on pages 8–11. Compare him and his situation to old people in your country.
