Förord Den tredje utgåvan av läromedlet Viewpoints 1 innehåller ett nytt urval av autentiska texter som är väl anpassade till dagens samhälle och elever. Variationen av textgenrer ger en ökad bredd i form, innehåll och perspektiv, vilket stimulerar till intressanta samtal och diskussioner i klassrummet på målspråket. Frågorna till texterna är uppdelade i understanding och discussion, vilket ger en tydlig distinktion mellan läsförståelse och personligt resonemang och tyckande. Det går lika bra att arbeta med bokens fem teman kronologiskt som att välja bland teman och texter efter behov och intresse. Till de flesta texter finns fetstilsmarkerade glosor som har valts ut med tanke på att de används frekvent i talad och skriven engelska. Till texterna finns även ordövningar som dels hjälper elever att träna in nya ord, dels låter eleverna fundera och resonera kring olika språkliga företeelser tillsammans med andra. Dessutom har varje tema flera speaking-övningar och skrivuppgifter, vilka hjälper eleverna att utöka och öva sitt ordförråd, sin språkliga korrekthet och sin kommunikativa förmåga. Vidare finns ett uppdaterat avsnitt med model texts som bland annat innehåller texttyper som discussion essay och argumentative essay, samt det nya avsnittet Additional resources med handfasta tips om till exempel språkliga strategier och källhantering. Nytt för boken är att all grundläggande grammatik nu finns samlad i en separat sektion så att läraren själv kan avgöra när ett grammatiskt moment ska behandlas. En annan nyhet är de två större projektuppgifterna i temana Fairy Tales with a Twist och Our Time som tränar eleverna i bland annat samarbete och källhantering. I Student’s Web finns kompletterande engelsk-engelska ordlistor och Live listening och/eller Live reading, d.v.s. autentiska texter och intervjuer eller föredrag med tillhörande frågor som eleverna kan arbeta med på egen hand. Detta innebär ett samspel mellan bokens material och aktuellt material bortom läromedlets ramar. Symboler som hänvisar till Student’s Web återfinns i elevboken för att markera när det är lämpligt att arbeta med dessa övningar. Naturligtvis finns även rena språkövningar i Student’s Web. I lärarwebben finns ytterligare material för övning, och en nyhet i lärarhandledningen är att det i varje tema finns prov för att pröva förmågorna läsa, höra, skriva och tala. Dessa kan med fördel användas som bedömningsunderlag i alla fyra färdigheterna, men kan likväl användas som övningar. Vi hoppas att ni ska finna både nytta med och nöje i att arbeta med den tredje upplagan av Viewpoints 1! Författarna

Before reading Most people have heard about the famous fairy tales by the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. Below are the English titles of a few of his most famous stories.

A Hidden Message
Note: Key words in bold
In the following article, Victoria Tedeschi from the University of Melbourne, reveals that there may be another way of reading and interpreting messages that some of H.C. Andersen’s fairy tales convey. Some of his fairy tales might even have been used to spread awareness about climate issues as early as in the Victorian era.

Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen was one of the most popular European fairy tale authors in 19th century England. While today Andersen is known for his agonised mermaids, disabled tin soldiers and disenfranchised match sellers, his Victorian readers celebrated tales that raised environmental concerns during an age of rapid industrialisation. According to a recent international research project, human activity has been the leading cause of global warming since the early stages of the Industrial Revolution – decades before scientists had previously estimated. Global warming is not a 20thcentury phenomenon; rather, humans have been impacting the environment for over 180 years. From 1760 to 1914 in England, vast numbers of people moved from the country to the city for financial security. London’s population swelled, prompting a century-long struggle with filth. An outdated sewage system released all human waste into the capital’s water supply, smoke poured from both factory and domestic chimneys and streets were caked with coal, mud, vegetable matter and animal waste. As urban life became increasingly distanced from nature, Andersen’s fairy tales thrived. While Victorian fantasy literature

often romanticised nature as an escape from the encroaching industrial landscape, Andersen showed human characters as the source of environmental degradation. For example, Andersen’s stories The Fir Tree, The Daisy and The Flax, feature plants that are tortured and abused by human characters. In these stories, talking plants suffer the dangers of industry. Despite the pain they experience, these plants are selfless providers willing to compromise their personal happiness for human interest. These sympathetic depictions of nature, during a century of environmental devastation, encouraged children to reflect on their impact on the landscape. Other tales, such as The Great Sea Serpent, detail the emerging conflict between animals and technology. The story describes fish reacting to the installation of the transatlantic telegraph cable, which ran the length of the Atlantic Ocean between Europe and America. With the chaos of the installation, schools of fish become separated, sea-anemones “were so agitated that they threw up their stomachs” and the cod and flounders who once “lived peacefully” began to eat their neighbours. When the fish rally together to destroy the cable, a shark is impaled by a sword-fish and “great fishes and small, sea-anemones and snails rushed at one another, ate each other, mashed and squeezed in” while “the cable lay quietly and attended to its affairs”. The telegraph cable is not a positive technological breakthrough, but a threat to the environment. A microscopic (yet equally voracious) ecosystem and its parallels with increasingly hostile cities is the subject of Andersen’s Drop of Water. A sorcerer named Creep-and-Crawl examines an extract of ditch water using a microscopic lens. He notices organisms that “hopped and jumped about, pulled one another and pecked one another”. Seeing the organism’s violent, unruly conduct, his colleague assumes that the creatures must be living in a capital city. The Victorian public was equally horrified by the organisms that were hidden in its drinking water. The fear of contaminated water was well founded: an antiquated sewage system directed London’s cesspools to the Thames, which was the capital’s water reserve. Chemicals from factories were also released into the river, spreading waterborne diseases such as typhoid, cholera, and dysentery.

Andersen’s contemporaries also exaggerated microscopic images of organisms (otherwise known as “monster soup”) in contemporary journals. In these illustrations, samples of water from the Thames were filled with a host of aggressive, potentially deadly beasts. For example, an anonymous illustration published in Punch magazine in 1850 shows hybrid and humanoid creatures wearing tuxedos in a petri dish. Amidst the chaos, small worm-like creatures spell out the word “pestilence”. William Heath’s coloured engraving from 1828 features winged creatures, hybrid animals and crustaceans with protruding fangs; the woman viewing the contaminated water is so disgusted that she drops her cup and saucer. By exploring the repercussions of an industrialised landscape, Andersen’s fairy tales provided commentary on a very real, looming threat to the English landscape and its population. Today, with the steady rise of dystopian literature, ecofiction and climate change fiction (otherwise known as “cli fi”), we see similar artistic responses to environmental change which steer readers away from complacency. As authors seek to express the gravity and severity of ecological crises, their literature holds the potential to inspire radical change. “How 19th century fairy tales expressed anxieties about ecological devastation” by Victoria Tedeschi (PhD candidate, The University of Melbourne)

False friends False friends are two words in two different languages that are spelled the same, or similarly, but have different meanings. An example is the English word fabric, which does not mean the same as the Swedish word fabrik. The four sentences in this exercise have been badly translated from Swedish (each sentence contains at least one false friend). Work in pairs or in small groups with the following tasks: a) First look at the false friends in the example above. What do the words mean? Translate fabric into Swedish and fabrik into English. b) Now read the four sentences below and pay special attention to the false friends in bold. Which Swedish words do you think the translator originally meant to translate? c) Discuss what the correct English word/s/ should be in each sentence. 1. One can motivate calling Andersen a prolific writer since he has written many shorter pieces of fiction, such as fairy tales, plays, poems and novels. 2. Andersen’s fairy tales are well known, but it is a little-known fact that a history could also contain actual topics like the climate. 3. In some of his fairy tales different arts of fish and plants react against changes made by persons. 4. Tales like these can eventually have an impact on the reader, but it is not likely.
Speaking Some might argue that literature, films and series that contain messages or morals enhance the role of fiction, while others view fiction as something that is only meant to entertain. Discuss the following questions in small groups.
• Why do you read books and/or watch films or series? Try to give at least three reasons.
• What different roles do you think fiction has? • What is your opinion on fiction that has a purpose other than entertainment? You can vary your language by using different phrases for stating an opinion, for instance: In my opinion, … In my view, …
86
I think that … I believe that …
I am of the opinion that …

Writing Text type: Letter to the Editor Number of words: 200 Before writing: Look at the example of a ‘Letter to the Editor’ on page 243 Write a ‘Letter to the Editor’ in which you state your opinion on whether H.C. Andersen’s stories can still teach us something today or if the messages that his stories convey are outdated. Choose one of the stories mentioned in the text or in ‘Before reading’ on page 81. State which story you have chosen and briefly explain the message of the story. Then argue whether the message is outdated or still works in today’s society. You can look up the message of Andersen’s stories online if you need to.
