English around the world

Englishspeaking world

We know that English is the language of the ‘English-speaking World’ – the United Kingdom, the USA, Australia and New Zealand.

Official language

In Canada, English is one of the two official languages, together with French, and in Ireland the two official languages are English and Irish. But English is the first language in many other countries, too. For example, in Africa, English is the official language in Liberia, Kenya and South Africa. In South America, it’s the official language in Guyana.

Lingua franca

English is also a lingua franca, for example in Nigeria, Ghana and India. In India there are over one hundred local languages so English is a common language for communication in government, business and schools.

Just think, English is an official language or lingua franca somewhere on every continent in the world! And there are millions of students, like you, that study English every day!

The UK is a nation of animal lovers. About 60% of families in the United Kingdom have got a pet. Pets are all different. They’re big, small, friendly or shy, but they’re members of our family and our friends.

About 36% of families in the UK have got a dog – that’s about because they’re loyal and affectionate. Dogs are also very clever and help them, and there are guide dogs and pet therapy dogs too.

About 30% of the population have got a cat – that’s 12.5 and there are about 1 million pet rabbits. Families in the UK have got birds, horses, guinea pigs and hamsters for pets too.

Has the UK got any unusual pets? Absolutely! There are about 600,000 pet snakes. Pets are a big responsibility, but they’re fantastic and fun!

Our Special Homes

1 This house in England is the home of the Wilson family. The house is unique, it hasn’t got any straight walls! There aren’t any houses in the country with this design. Some rooms are underground. It’s also got plants on the roof. The house is always the perfect temperature in winter and in summer. Outside the Wilson’s home is small, but it isn’t small inside. There’s a big open-space kitchen and living room, a bathroom, three bedrooms, a TV room and a toilet. Teenager Kelly Wilson says: ‘My favourite part of the house is the roof. It’s part of the garden.’

2 The McKinney family in the USA have got a very special home. It’s an old school bus! Inside, it’s very small. There is one room for the kitchen and living room, there’s a bedroom for Drake’s dad, and there’s a very small bathroom. At night the living room is 12-yearold Drake’s bedroom! There aren’t any wardrobes but there are some cupboards under the bed. In the kitchen there’s a small fridge and a cooker, but there isn’t a dishwasher. ‘We’ve got some recycled furniture,’ says Drake, ‘My favourite is the sofa – it’s also my bed.’

There is also the 16th-century kitchen with some original and interesting objects for cooking in the past on the first floor. Upstairs there are the private rooms of King Henry VIII. Then there’s the incredible Great Hall. It has got a beautiful roof with gilded wood

Hi. I’m Jerome. I’m 13 and I’m from Nottingham in England. My family has got a semi-detached house. A semi-detached house is two houses together. Our front door is brown and it’s got a letterbox. At the front, we’ve got a small garden with a gate and there’s a big garden at the back of the house. Downstairs there’s a kitchen, living room, dining room and toilet. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. Two bedrooms are large, but my bedroom is small.

My grandparents’ house is near my house. It’s a similar size, but it’s a detached house. Detached houses are separate from the neighbours’ houses. They’ve got a utility room downstairs and a garage too.

My dad’s home is in the centre of the city. He’s got a flat on the third floor of a block of flats. There’s a kitchen, living room and bathroom. There’s only one bedroom but he’s got a sofa-bed for my visits. Flats usually haven’t got gardens, but some flats, like my dad’s flat, have got balconies.

My aunt has got a bungalow. She’s disabled so it’s easy for her because there is only one floor and there aren’t any stairs. It’s got red bricks and white windows. There are two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen-diner. She’s got a garden with lots of flowers and a greenhouse.

My friend Craig has got a house opposite our school. It is a terraced house. This is a row of houses so there are houses on the right and on the left. It’s got a kitchen and living room on the ground floor and upstairs there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a small garden at the back. His house is modern, but in my city there are many terraced houses that are over 130 years old.

WHAT'S YOUR HOBBY?

1 You can’t play video games at home every day this summer, so what new hobby can you do outside? There’s geocaching. It’s fun because it’s got cool technology (a smartphone and a geocaching app) and you can find treasure! Is your house near a lake or the sea? You can try stone skipping Can you bounce a stone on the water? It isn’t easy. The world record is 88 times!

2 Are you a creative type? Then these hobbies are for you. Soap carving is a popular hobby. It is easy to find colourful soap and you can make beautiful flowers, but you can’t put them in water! With cosplay you can make beautiful costumes and be like your favourite character from a film, comic or anime. At a cosplay event, there are some fantastic costumes and you can take photos of your favourite ones.

3 For a hobby that you can do when you aren’t with your friends, collecting things is popular with teens. For example, is easy and you can learn some interesting facts about animals. Another hobby you can do alone is toy voyaging your favourite toy can go on holiday to another country. You can take photos and write blogs about their adventures.

Our favourite things!

Hampton Court Palace

What are your favourite things? Your mobile phone, your diary or your sunglasses? This report is about teens’ favourite things… let’s look at the top five.

Number 1 – no surprise here!

For most teenagers, their favourite possession isn’t their games console or earbuds or TV, it’s their mobile phone, of course! Mobile phones are a connection to friends, to social media apps and to the world! 95% of teenagers have got a mobile phone. For teenagers, the mobile phone is at the top of the list of all other technology because it has got everything – a camera, music, news, videos…

Boarding Schools

Cheltenham College, near Gloucester in England, is an example of a private British boarding school. It’s a co-educational school (for boys and girls) for pupils from 13 to 18 years old. Pupils can attend the school as ‘day pupils’ or ‘boarders’.

Day pupils go to school in the morning and go home at the end of the school day. Boarders live at school all the time and they go home during the holidays. Boarders share a bedroom with three or four other students. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the big, traditional dining hall. Each block of bedrooms also has a small kitchen and a living room.

The school year starts at the beginning of September and finishes in July. Students have standard subjects like maths, English, history, IT and science but they can also study economics and politics. Lessons start at nine o’clock and there are 7 or 8 lessons every day. There is a break in the morning and lunch is at one o’clock. Lessons finish at 4.10, but on Saturday school finishes at one o’clock. After the lessons, boarders study and do things like sports, art and theatre. The school’s facilities are excellent with modern science labs, sports fields, a theatre and a big library.

Do you sometimes have problems sleeping? Follow our tips for a good sleep routine.

Studies show that regular exercise helps you sleep. It is a good idea to do some exercise three or four times a week.

Do you usually use your phone in the evening? The blue light disturbs your sleep so it’s a good idea to switch your phone off early, and never have your phone next to your bed at night.

It isn’t a good idea to eat a lot before bed. You can have your dinner early, then drink some chamomile tea before you go to bed.

It is a good idea to go to bed at the same time every night and it is important that your bedroom isn’t too warm

What’s your sport?

What sports do children and young people like? Popular sports in the UK are, of course, football, basketball, swimming and tennis. There are other sports that are popular but they’re not very well-known in other countries. Children and young people often play these sports at school and at local clubs.

Netball

There are two teams, with seven players on each team. Each player plays on a specific part of the court and can’t move to other areas. It’s similar to basketball because there is a hoop at each end of the court to score goals, but you can’t run with the ball. Girls usually play netball at school.

1 PAIRWORK Look at these objects. Which sports can you think of?

Badminton

In this game you’ve got a racket and a net, like in tennis, but the net is high and similar to a volleyball net. You don’t use a ball, but a special object called a shuttlecock. You hit the shuttlecock over the net but it doesn’t bounce. You can play this game as singles or doubles. Professional matches are inside on a court, but you can play a fun game in your garden or on the beach.

2 Read and listen to the text. Match the names of the sports to the objects in ex. 1. Which sports use two of the objects?

5 Why do cricket players wear protection on their legs and head?

6 When do people usually play cricket?

Cricket

This is a very popular game in England, with two teams of eleven players. You use a ball and a bat. The players wear a helmet and protection on their legs because the ball is very hard. The matches are outside and they usually take place in the summer because you can’t play cricket in the rain. The rules are very complicated and a match can last for five days! It isn’t an Olympic sport but there are a lot of national and international competitions. Cricket is popular with men, but there are also separate competitions for women.

Toad in the hole is another classic. This is sausages and a batter of eggs, milk and flour. And, of course, everyone knows fish and chips. But do you know that mushy peas are the typical vegetable that people like eating with this dish?
