Welcome to Pick & Mix 2 Pick & Mix 2 is the second book of an innovative and user-friendly course material, written for gymnasieskolan’s course Engelska 6 and developed in line with Gy 2011 requirements.

The texts cover a wide range of interesting subjects and each chapter gives the student plenty of opportunities to practise the four major skills: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Each chapter is introduced with a warm-up, which provides a lighter way into the speaking and writing sections.

In Pick & Mix 2, half of the chapters contain two reading texts, some of which are extracts from well-known works of English literature. Sometimes a literary text is also studied in the listening section. The book offers a great variety of speaking and writing tasks, many of which can be extended into longer projects. Each chapter also contains a grammar section giving students a deeper understanding of various grammatical issues. New in Pick & Mix 2 is the Express Yourself section, which focuses on idiomatic English such as proverbs and common expressions. Furthermore, the Extra Material section has been updated with even more tips and tools for developing your English.

Pick & Mix 2 works just as well for lesson-based learning as for individual studies, and gives you everything you need to achieve your aims at Engelska 6.

There are two possible approaches to using the material: •

A traditional themes approach, in which you work through the chapters and sections in the order they appear in the book. This will give you plenty of opportunity to practise all the skills that are required to pass Engelska 6.

•

A selective skills approach, where you pick and mix the skills and themes you feel the need to study, whether it be reading, listening, speaking, writing or grammar. This way you can focus on the specific skills that you need to improve.

We hope that you, teachers and students, will find Pick & Mix 2 an inspiring and useful tool for teaching and learning English!

To the Editor of The Midtown Bugle,

readinG 1

Following a rare visit to the Midtown Mall, I was struck by how the American Dream has been reduced and transformed into a nightmare. The term “American Dream” was coined by James Truslow Adams in 1931 and was “that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone”. Through hard work we could develop both spiritually and materially. Sadly, the spiritual part of this vision appears to have been lost. In fact, we are now little more than unthinking robots programmed by a consumer culture.

I avoid the mall as much as possible. My shopping is done online or at small stores and markets, as I like to support local entrepreneurs and farmers. However, this time I needed a new battery for my cell phone and the specialist store in the mall was the only option I could find. My phone is ten years old. This caused great amusement amongst the staff in the store, so much so that I was treated rather like an embarrassing old relative who doesn’t understand what is going on. They almost refused to sell me the battery. A new phone would only cost a few dollars more and had all kinds of functions my old phone lacked; functions I had no use for. Not that this fact concerned the guys in the store. I should think of the bad image other people would have of me when they saw my old phone.

After finally being allowed to purchase the battery, I wandered through the mall with the words of one of the salesmen echoing through my head: “What will people think of you?” I saw hundreds of different pairs of sneakers that varied from relatively cheap to ridiculously expensive. Their original purpose, to aid in comfortable walking, was merely an afterthought in their design. They were being marketed primarily as goods one really needed to own in order to impress people.

The same was true of shades, clothing and even burger joints, which were competing over who had the coolest image rather than the tastiest food. I thought about the contrast between the choices available today and the attitude of that early advocate of consumerism, Henry Ford. The manufacturer of the first car ordinary Americans could afford said “any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black”. For Ford, the only important factor was the primary function of the car: to get its owner from A to B and do it as cheaply as possible. The consumer society has changed a lot in the hundred years or so since then, but can we really say that change has made our lives “better and richer and fuller”?

Second-hand shopping has become very popular in recent years. That said, the use of second-hand items such as clothes is not a new phenomenon; servants were selling their employers’ unwanted attire to poor people hundreds of years ago. There has, however, until more recently always been a social stigma associated with buying and using second-hand items in general, and clothing in particular. Those involved in the second-hand market, with the exception of the antiques trade, were often seen as poor or belonging to a low social class, although there were a couple of periods when this was not the case. During World War Two, when most people struggled to make ends meet, governments encouraged citizens to “make do and mend�. Youth subcultures also made second-hand clothing acceptable and even desirable, while Beatniks, hippies and punks wore second-hand clothing to make a statement against elitist fashion and consumer society.

Pros of buying second-hand Wearing and using second-hand items has now become respectable thanks to a number of factors. First of all, increased concern about the environment and the need for sustainable consumption means the thought of recycling and reusing items is now attractive. Secondly, since second-hand goods tend to be considerably cheaper than new ones, shopping this way means money can be spent on other things or saved in difficult economic times. Thirdly, vintage styles, from the Victorian era to 1980s disco, are distinctive and present a strong image to the world.

You can visit the biggest second-hand shop in the world without leaving your home. eBay, the online auction site, has hundreds of millions of active registered users worldwide, with a major part of the transactions carried out there consisting of second-hand items sold by private individuals. These types of transactions are known as consumer-to-consumer electronic commerce. It is the modern-day equivalent of using the classifieds section of your local newspaper or going to an auction, one difference being that you run a higher risk of getting cheated at online auctions.

Despite the success of eBay and similar online shopping outlets, physical shops continue to do good business on the high street. Many customers prefer to see what they are buying in person; they want to try on the clothes or examine more closely the coffee table that would fit nicely by the sofa in the living room. The enthusiastic shopper can choose to hunt around antique shops, charity shops, jumble sales, car boot sales or second-hand markets.

Camden Market “Clothes are my drug. I love Camden Market – I have so many vintage pieces from there it’s unbelievable. Clothes are really important to me, they give me that feeling of happiness. I love being a bit free with it all and not giving myself rules.”

Kaya Scodelario, actress

If you like to shop around for bargains and items that cannot be found in a chain store, there are few better places to go than London. England’s capital city is home to a number of stylish second-hand shops and a variety of markets. The markets in the Camden Town district, for example, attract hundreds of thousands of visitors, both Londoners and tourists, making them the fourth most visited tourist attraction in London. The determined shopper can uncover a treasure trove of alternative clothing fashion, stylish jewellery, vintage furniture, rare books and films. Though there is money to be saved, you might find yourself coming away with more than you bargained on!

b a e r mo names

Names of people, places, organizations etc. always begin with a capital letter.

In English, capital letters are also used for days, months and festive holidays: I’m going away on Tuesday, but I will be back in March.

We are going abroad for Christmas.

Names are usually used in the indefinite form (John, Lucy, Sweden, Asia, London, Buckingham Palace) but there are some exceptions:

Grammar

Families: the Smiths, the Andersons (note the plural ending) Seas and rivers: the Atlantic, the Thames Mountain ranges and island groups: the Himalayas, the Canary Islands Hotels, restaurants, museums: the Hilton, the Red Lion, the National Gallery Certain parts of the world: the Middle East, the West, the Antarctic Certain organizations and companies: the BBC, the UN, the EU, the CIA

titles Just as in Swedish, personal titles begin with capital letters: Doctor, Professor, General.

The most common personal titles are: Mr (herr), Mrs (fru) and Miss (frĂśken), which is being replaced more and more by Ms (which does not specify marital status).

Titles of books, films, songs and essays use capital letters for each word except articles, prepositions and coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, for etc.)

collective nouns Collective nouns are words that describe a collection of things that are counted as a whole, such as team and group. Many collective nouns are used in the singular, but can also be used in the plural, depending on whether the collection is mostly seen as a whole (verb in the singular) or mostly as a set of individuals (verb in the plural) in the specific context.

Singular: The crowd was upset The audience was large Arsenal has financial problems

Plural: The crowd were throwing stones The audience were clapping Arsenal have scored three goals

More examples of collective nouns are: band, class, company, crew, family, government, majority, number, public

compound nouns Compound nouns are nouns that are made up of two or more words. The words can come from different word classes, for example: Noun + noun: football, bus stop, girlfriend, hairstyle, bookcase, shoe shop Adjective + noun: whiteboard, full moon, leather trousers Verb + noun: swimming pool, washing machine, breakfast, driving licence Noun + verb: haircut, sunset, rainfall, trainspotting Verb + preposition: check-in, take-off, lookout Noun + prepositional phrase: mother-in-law, Member of Parliament

Grammar shop till you drop

Compound nouns can be formed in three different ways: Spaced: with space between the words: horse race, mobile phone, shopping basket Closed: with no space between the words: bedroom, housewife, basketball Hyphenated: with a hyphen between the words: x-ray Spaced compound nouns are generally more common in English than in Swedish, especially for longer words. There are no exact rules about spacing, which means that certain compound nouns can be formed in different ways: paper clip, paperclip, paper-clip. If you are unsure, it is generally safer to use spacing.

abstract nouns Abstract nouns are words that refer to something that does not exist in the physical world, e.g. an idea, a quality, a concept or a feeling, such as love or hatred.

Many abstract nouns can be recognized by their suffix (ending). Common suffixes for abstract nouns are: -tion: description, satisfaction, administration, application -ism: tourism, buddhism, alcoholism -ment: enjoyment, punishment, astonishment -ness: happiness, rudeness, thickness, fairness -ity: quality, sanity, reality, authority Other common suffixes for abstract nouns are: -ance, -ence, -ship, -dom, -cy, -th, -age, -ability, -ing, -hood

extra How to make an advert or brochure Some general tips about advertising

• •

First of all, identify your customer/target group and how to appeal to them.

•

Use language and/or images to get attention. Questions like “Want to know how to become a millionaire?” or statements such as “The best way to stop smoking” will get people interested in your message.

•

Hold the interest of potential customers and stimulate them to buy your product by appealing to their emotional or practical side. Show briefly and clearly how your product will benefit them by saving them money, making them feel better about themselves, giving them a positive experience etc.

•

Use images that reflect your brand values: e.g. a picture of a healthy-looking, happy person might be used in an advert for a book about how to stop smoking.

Treat your target group with respect! People are often wary of advertising, so DO NOT patronize, use clichés, make false claims or be too aggressive.

Making video commercials Using people in your commercial is a safe bet – we all find it easier to relate to people than to products. In order to grab the viewer’s attention, make sure to keep the lines short and effective.

Also, choose a setting and props that relate to what the commercial is trying to sell. For example, a commercial for sun cream should probably not be set in a rainy parking lot.

Last but not least, finish off with a strong punchline that leaves the viewer with a positive feeling.

Making a brochure As in all advertising, it is important to understand your target group. Who would be interested in your product/service and what characterizes them? Use language and images likely to appeal to your particular target group. Here are some basic layout tips:

•

Try to create a harmony between text and images by laying them out in a way that is pleasing to the eye.

•

Use fact boxes, fonts and images with caution – some extra elements can be good, but having too many creates a cluttered and disordered impression.

• • •

Create variation by placing the images in different places and in different sizes.

Use informative headlines that help the reader to find what they need.

Keep the text clear and concise and focus on whatever you think will hold the reader’s interest.

extra How to write a book analysis A book analysis can be written in different ways and focus on different things, but it almost always consists of two elements: 1) information about the book; and 2) your analysis of the book.

Information about the book Start off with basic information, such as the title, author and publishing year of the book.

To add interest, you can also give information about the nationality and occupation of the author as well as any other information you consider relevant: Animal Farm was written by British author and journalist George Orwell in 1948, shortly after the Second World War. There should also be a short description of the genre, setting, main plot and main characters. It should not be a summary of the book or give any spoilers, but rather create interest and an understanding of what the book is about.

Your analysis of the book This is where you try to analyse the book on a deeper level. Think about the style of writing and the techniques used by the author to convey the main themes and ideas.

Examples of aspects to consider:

•

Narration/point of view: Who is telling the story – is it “me” (first person), someone else looking in from the outside (third person) or a mixture of both?

What is the position of the narrating character in relation to the story being told?

•

Tone: The feeling/atmosphere/mood/attitude of the work. Is it formal, informal, angry, ironic, witty, serious, playful, slow or something else?

•

Imagery/literary devices: What use does the author make of imagery, i.e. metaphors, similes and other ways of using strong or symbolic images to describe or explain things? What other literary devices are used to create meaning and clarify themes?

•

Grammar and punctuation: Are the sentences long or short, and is the grammar formal and correct or more like the spoken word? What is the effect of this?

•

Choice of words: What words are used to establish – and strengthen – the style, tone and themes? Are there vivid, drawn-out descriptions or is the language short and concise? Is the vocabulary formal or informal?

When analysing the theme(s) of the book you should try to decipher what the author is trying to tell us. Common themes are love, death, friendship, betrayal, class, gender etc. When you have an understanding of the major theme(s), try to work out what the author wants to say and how. Not all books have a clear “message” but there is usually some idea that the author wants to present. Remember that there is not necessarily a right or wrong answer here, so an analysis is very much your interpretation of the book.

extra How to write a budget A budget is a written plan of your income and expenses. By writing a budget (and sticking to it) it is easier to see what you spend your money on and to make changes to make the money last longer.

There are many budget programs that can calculate your figures, but if you want to make your own budget you can follow these guidelines: Since income (wages, study grant etc.) is usually calculated per month, it is a good idea to make a monthly budget.

Start off with your income. List all your sources of income and add them up, for example:

• • • •

study grant wages from extra work living allowance etc.

Continue by writing a list of expenses under a few main headings and add them up.

The headings can vary depending on your life situation, but here are some examples:

• • • • • • •

Living (rent, electricity, heating, home insurance etc.)

Transport (car, petrol, car insurance, travel card etc.)

Food (groceries, eating out etc.)

Clothes and hygiene Leisure and entertainment (hobbies, sport, cinema, clubbing etc.)

Other expenses (mobile phone, gadgets etc.)

Savings

Begin by exploring how much you spend on different things today. Then decide if you want to change how you spend your money and write a budget in which you give every heading a certain amount of money each month.

Now all you have to do is stick to it!

extra How to write a discursive essay A discursive essay is a balanced, objective examination of a certain question. The writer must remain neutral at all times, whatever their own personal feelings on the subject!

Know your subject: Research the subject before writing and before you decide on a title.

Write an outline: Go through your research and plan how the essay is going to look.

Make an outline of the points you want to make and in what order they will come.

Writing the essay: 1. Introduction: Grab the reader’s attention with the first sentence. Explain what the essay is about and which questions you intend to explore.

2. Main body: Present your findings and refer to the sources you have used, e.g. literature, surveys or interviews. Divide your text under logical headlines and structure the text into paragraphs, starting a new paragraph for each new point.

3. Conclusion: Keep it short. Restate your intention from the introduction.

Summarize the main answer your essay has found. Give your own opinion and try to end with something thought-provoking.

Creating fluency

• • •

Variety: Start and finish your sentences in different ways. Try to create variety by mixing sentence structure and length, vocabulary and active/passive forms.

Expressive language: An expressive text – with a good rhythm, an appealing choice of words and a variety of sentences – is usually more interesting to read.

Find out if your text is expressive by reading it aloud to yourself.

Linking devices: A linking device is a word or a phrase that links clauses or sentences into longer segments, giving your text added fluency. Linking devices can have different functions, such as explaining a sequence or making a comparison. Some common linking devices and functions include: ◉ Sequence: first, next, also, finally, in conclusion, to summarize ◉ Addition: and, in addition, also, furthermore, as well as ◉ Contrast: but, yet, however, still, although, in contrast, nonetheless, whereas ◉ Result: so, thus, therefore, as a result, hence, consequently ◉ Reason: for, as, since, because, due to, owing to, thanks to ◉ Comparison: also, similarly, likewise, just as, compared to ◉ Emphasis: obviously, indeed, undoubtedly, certainly, in fact ◉ Example: for example, for instance, such as, namely, including
