Introduction Welcome to New Levels 1, a course book for Level 1 of the Swedish basic adult English course (Engelska, nationell delkurs 1), and also for students who need to learn or revise basic English language skills. The book has five units, which are each divided into three parts. Each of the five units is based on a general theme and the three parts in each unit are linked to that theme. Each part has the following structure: • Show what you know – exercises allowing you to show what you already know and to practise the key vocabulary of the unit. You can also find extra practice on skills vocabulary in the Skills focus section at the end of the book. • Main texts for reading and listening – texts of different types and genres, from different parts of the world, which contain key vocabulary and grammar and help you develop your reading skills. • Look at the texts – questions and activities related to the main texts. At the end of this section is a grammar discovery activity called I spy grammar. Here you have the chance to show what you already know about the grammar before it is presented. • Improve your English – presentation of the key grammar, with examples taken from the main texts. You can then practise the grammar in a wide variety of exercises, as well as further tasks and activities to help you develop your pronunciation, listening, speaking and writing skills. There are also additional Time out pages which focus on cultural aspects of the English-speaking world. Finally, each unit also contains a Web IT! box – a task related to the theme, where you and your classmates have to look for information online and then share it in class. Each exercise also has a small symbol to show you which skill is practised: reading pronunciation
listening
speaking
discovery exercise
writing grammar presentation/rules
At the back of the book there are Skills focus pages to practise the main skills vocabulary, a Language school section with useful information on grammar, writing and expressions for speaking, and Classmates – fact files of the five main characters that you will get to know in New Levels 1 and the other books in the series. In the online New Levels 1 Student’s Web you can find: • audio files for all main texts, listening and pronunciation exercises (plus Internet links for songs) • the answer key for all exercises and scripts for all listening texts • extra interactive exercises to practise grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening • word lists for each part that you can complete with definitions, example sentences, pictures or translations into your own language • an interactive word list that allows you to listen to correct pronunciation We hope that this book can help you take your English to a new level!

Language school Grammar Web IT! There are many grammar sites on the Internet. They are usually free and they have lots of information and good examples of English grammar. For example: EnglishClub.com
BBC Learning English

Adjectives Adjectives describe people, places, and things: The old man. The beautiful city. The big dog. The coffee is hot.
You can use very or too to make an adjective stronger: This coffee is very hot. (the coffee is hot but you can still drink it) This coffee is too hot. (negative meaning – you can't drink the coffee because it is so hot)
Comparative adjectives You use a comparative adjective when you talk about two things. Most short adjectives end in -er in the comparative: fast – faster

The alphabet has 21 consonants and 5 vowels: • Consonants: b c d f g h j k l m n p q r s t v w x y z • Vowels: a e i o u

A sentence is two or more words or phrases put together to create a meaning. It usually includes a subject (the person/group/thing that does something) and a verb (a ‘doing’ word). It may also have an object (the person/group/thing that something happens to). A sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark. He is from London.
Are you the teacher?
The classroom is there!
A paragraph is a piece of writing that begins on a new line. It contains one or more sentences: The teacher is called Maria. She is from England. We meet her on Tuesday.

Classmates These five people are students at a language school. They are in the same class and are with each other for a number of hours every day. They are from different countries, have different lifestyles, interests and ideas, but they are all here to learn English. At school they help each other with work, have coffee and snacks in the school canteen, and sometimes go out together after lessons. They are all ‘classmates’ – and classmates sometimes become mates, best friends or more. Let’s see.
