Підручник стане тобі в нагоді й подарує приємні миті, якщо ти: ✓ братимеш активну участь у роботі, якомога більше розмовлятимеш і слухатимеш, будеш частіше намагатися говорити англійською мовою, не боятимешся помилятися, бо помилок не допускає той, хто нічого не робить;
✓ поважатимеш інших людей – свого вчителя та однокласників; ніколи не будеш насміхатися з того, хто помилився; поводитимешся з іншими так, як би ти хотів, щоб поводилися з тобою;
✓ не боятимешся ставити запитання, сміливо проситимеш учителя пояснити матеріал; цікавитимешся думкою інших дітей, якщо з чимось не погоджуватимешся; будеш розмірковувати, чому певної думки дотримуються автори тексту, із яким ти б подискутував;
✓ завжди знаходитимеш час, щоб повторити вивчений на уроці матеріал; будеш звертатися до додаткових матеріалів на сайті, що допоможуть тобі в самостійній роботі; прагнутимеш самостійно навчатися, тренувати пам’ять;
✓ будеш експериментувати, бо кожен міні-проект – це заклик до творчого мислення; завжди намагатимешся творчо думати та креативно розв’язувати завдання;
✓ не пасуватимеш перед труднощами, бо немає нічого неможливого для того, хто прагне досягти гарного результату. Опанування знань – подібне до сходження на гору. Цей шлях подолає лише той, хто постійно рухається вперед. Щоб досконало вивчити мову, потрібні роки, а не лише дні чи місяці. Упевнені, що тобі під силу вивчити деякі особливості іноземної мови, хоч вони й відмінні від української мови.
Гарного навчального року! Натхнення й наполегливості!

This is the cafeteria. The art room is quite big. • A / an are used to refer to something that has not yet been mentioned. The article a becomes an when used in front of a noun that starts with a vowel sound. There is a lab and an art room in my school. • The zero article is used to talk about something in general terms. I love Ø team sports. / I hate Ø classical dance.
Be careful! When talking about something in general terms in English, you do not use an article (Ø = zero article). But what happens in your language when you talk about something in general?
You can use different verbs to talk about what you like or dislike. love

GAELIC FOOTBALL
IRISH DANCING
Gaelic football is one of the most popular sports in Ireland. This game is played between two teams of 15 players with a round ball.
Irish dancing is a Celtic tradition. In Ireland, people like to invite friends to play music, dance and tell stories. Today, Irish boys and girls carry on the tradition of Irish step dancing. In this dance, the feet make quick and precise movements but the arms don't move. You can dance solo or in groups. The costumes are usually very colourful and bright. There are national and international championship competitions.
The aim is to score by kicking or punching the ball into the other team's goals (3 points) or between two posts above the goals (1 point). Girls can play too! Join the #Gaelic4Girls team!

1. THERE IS / THERE ARE WB p. 53 There is / there are indicates something exists. • There is is followed by a singular noun. There is a table in the kitchen.

a playroom.
We / You / They haven't got
2. THE POSSESSIVE WB p. 54 •T he possessive form expresses possession. The name of the person is followed by 's and then the object. John’s house belongs to John "The house of John" makes an assumption the student's first language is structured this way. •W hen the names are plural or end in an s, add an apostrophe to show possession.

Pronunciation
Û WB p. 64
The pronunciation of “'s” There is / there are and there isn't / there aren't
68 sixty-eight
British and American people both speak English, but with some small differences. For example, Americans generally do not use got, and instead make the negative form of have with the auxiliary verb do/does: I don't have a big house. He doesn't have a garage.
2 W rite these sentences in the

a. b. c. d. e. f.
Emily has a big room. Emily's family has a nice house. My aunt has a fireplace in her house. John has two brothers and two sisters. John has a computer in his room. John's parents have a nice bedroom.
4. HOW MANY?
How many is used to ask about quantity. It is at the beginning of a question. It is always followed by a plural. We can use it as follows:
• Have got:
How many brothers and sisters have you got?
• There is / there are:
How many bathrooms are there in your house?
6. OBLIGATION AND PROHIBITION WB p. 61
Obligation can be expressed using must or have to. Both options are placed before the verb. I have to work. You must buy him a present.
Make the negative form by adding not to (n't). • Mustn't shows something that is prohibited. You mustn't tell lies.
•D on't have to shows something that is not obligatory.
• With other verbs:
How many people do you usually invite to your parties?
You don't have to come. You have to wash the dishes before going out!

Ok, let’s go and find some new clothes for the party.

Oh, yes and they are on sale! They are discounted.

Yes, Veronica, I like them. And what about these trousers? They look tight. Do you like tight trousers? I want to try them.

You can try them with the jacket. Do you like this jacket? Look there is a beautiful skirt. But it’s 1000 hryvnias. It is expensive.

Two thousand hryvnias? That is so expensive. Ans how much is this jumper?

This jumper is just five hundred hryvnias, do you want to buy it?

This is my first day in New York. It's an amazing city! In New York, there are lots of tall buildings, called skyscrapers. My favourite is the Chrysler Building (you can see it on the postcard). NY has lots of sights like the Statue of Liberty (it was a present from France!). Tom and I went to Manhattan today. First we visited the American Museum of Natural History (we saw the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex!). It was really awesome. Then we walked around Central Park. There was a zoo in the park! Finally we went to the iconic Fifth Avenue. There were a lot of people, taxis and shops... it was fun! Tomorrow we want to visit Ellis Island. Miss you, xxx

People worked in very dangerous situations to build skyscrapers! Tom
I love the skyscrapers in New York! They are tall buildings (more than 50m high) with multiple floors, at least 40 to 50 floors! Can you imagine? A lot of people work in there. Some especially tall skyscrapers (300 metres high) are called 'supertall'. The most famous skyscrapers in the United States are on the island of Manhattan: the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and the One World Trade Center (or 1WTC). They are very popular destinations. The 1WTC was finished in 2013, and it is the tallest building in North America.
YOUR TURN! 1
L ist the different New York City skyscrapers in the text. Do you know any other skyscrapers that are in another city?
2 T he 1WTC replaced another famous building that disappeared in 2001.

SCOTTISH LEGENDS Scotland is a land of myths and legends. Here are two examples I like!

THE SALMON AND THE RING
ew York N Skyscrapers
The city of Glasgow is represented by a coat of arms. There is a salmon with a ring in its mouth. Can you guess why?
Contributors: Sheena
Û
A long time ago, a Scottish queen gave a ring to a soldier. The king discovered this and he was furious! He met the soldier by a river, took the ring and threw it in the water. The legend says that St Mungo caught a salmon and miracuously found the ring in its stomach. Today, St Mungo is the patron saint of Glasgow. Some people think that he protects the city!
Glasgow's Coat of Arms, as featured on the Kelvin Bridge
THE LOCH NESS MONSTER Loch Ness is a huge, beautiful lake, but the reason so many people come to visit the place is... the Loch Ness monster! The legend of a monster that looks like a dinosaur the lake is very well-known. Many explorers and scientists have tried to find scientific evidence of the monster. Some people say that they have photographs of it! In reality, it is only a legend, but in Scotland we like our “monster”... It even has a nickname: Nessie.
YOUR TURN! 1 Look at the pictures, read the texts and answer the questions. a. What part of each legend shows that nature is very important in Scotland? b. Does the Loch Ness monster really exist? c. Who was St Mungo? YOU ARE AN ARTIST! Create your own Nessie: draw it, paint it or make it with parts of a magazine.

Okay, in my neighborhood, my school is known as Fort Union. That’s because of the crazy-strict military base rules there. No kids get inside until 7:50 a.m., sharp. No kids get inside without a student ID. No kids get inside without opening their backpacks for the security guards. And that’s just the front door. I’m sure it’d take you less time to get through the airport’s high-tech security with explosives tied to your calves. It’s crazy man. This is what I go through, every stinkin’ day.
15
When I get past security, I find that my homeroom doesn’t even have real windows. It’s just metal screens where someone broke out the glass over the summer. Also, it’s kind of crowded in here. “Overcrowded” would be an understatement. For real.
20
After attendance, my homeroom teacher, Ms. Green, takes us around the school and shows us where everything is. Downstairs on the first floor, the library’s about the size of a closet. There’s one rolling computer cart with two computers for the whole school.

She sat down at her desk. Kevin admired his aunt and her enthusiasm. There were so many different ethnic groups in New York. There were whole streets where Italians lived together. In fact, more Italians lived in New York than in Rome, more Jews than in Tel Aviv. There were the Irish Americans, who still called themselves Irish and still hated the English. He sat on the couch for a while, dreaming. The he fetched the telephone book which had names beginning with "O". He soon shut the book. It was hopeless. There were hundreds of O'Briens. He shut the book with such a bang that Aunt Bella looked up from her desk. "What's the matter, Kev? Who are you looking for in that telephone book? A girlfriend?"

The Story of
Saint Patrick James A. Janda A little boy liked to sit on a hill and watch the boats come and go in and out of the harbor. His name was Patrick. 5
10
He liked to run down to the pier. He liked to watch the fishermen bring in their boats loaded with fish. Patrick lived on the shore of England facing the Irish Sea. He wore a toga and sandals, because he was a citizen of Rome. He lived there a very long time ago —in the fifth century. Patrick had to learn his prayers just as you and I. But, to tell the truth, young Patrick was more interested in playing than in learning. He liked to climb trees, pick apples, and play with his dog.
15
Patrick had a happy time until he turned sixteen. Then something happened that made him very sad.
20
From the top of the hill, he saw it all coming. Nial, the Celtic warrior, and his enemy boats were coming into the harbor.
25
Nial’s warriors attacked the town. They killed many people. They burned the homes. They stole horses, pigs and sheep. They captured Patrick, forced him into a boat, and sailed across the sea to Ireland. In Ireland, Patrick was sold as a slave.

If I Built a House
Chris Van Dusen
Oh, it may include shapes like a tower or dome, but I’ll focus on what makes a building a home.
Jack, in the backyard, said to his mother, This house is OK, but it’s like any other. It’s boxy and boring and basically bland. It’s nothing at all like the house I have planned. 5
Did you know? Chris Van Dusen (1960-) is an author and illustrator from Portland, Maine, in the US. He writes children’s books.

My house will be different. It can’t be the norm. I’ll think about traffic flow, function, and form.
It’s the rooms on the inside that make it unique, so step through the door and let’s take a peek. We’ll start with the basics, right off the bat. Check out my new Kitchen-o-Mat!

In the fall I play football every Saturday. Football is cool because you get to push and shove and yell and knock kids on their butts. And the best part is, you don’t even get punished!

The good news is, we’re getting a new coach this year named Coach Hyatt. I bet he’ll be a lot better than our old coach, Mr. Boozer. Mr. Boozer was a loser. I put on my uniform and shoulder pads to get ready for our first practice. Shoulders pads are cool because they make it look like you have big muscles. Our uniform is red, and we have red helmets with a lightning bolt down the middle.
That’s why I hate school and I love Pee Wee Football. If you ask me, the world would be a better place if they closed all the schools and turned them into Pee Wee Football camps. The only problem is, my team stinks! We’re called the Moose, and we lost every game last season. Every game!

I often try to imagine what life was like for my great-great-grandfather, Carl Friedrich. He was the first of my ancestors to arrive in New York City. He got to Manhattan Island in 1866 as a young man of 18. There were people everywhere, endless streets and stone buildings. […] Carl had little money. He took whatever job he could find, and he lived on the Lower East Side. There was only one shared bathroom and there were bugs and mice everywhere. Carl worked hard. After some years, he became a US citizen, moved uptown to a better neighborhood, found a wife and started his business. […] Life wasn’t easy. But he stayed and made it work. Carl and millions of others like him are the people who made New York great. This is Carl’s story. The story of New York.

Laden with goods for the high and the low; So let the beautiful city of Glasgow flourish, And may the inhabitants always find food their bodies to nourish. And as for the statue of Sir Walter Scott that stands in George Square, It is a handsome statue — few can with it compare,

And most elegant to be seen, And close beside it stands the statue of Her Majesty the Queen.

How can I make sure I understand the instructions correctly? Here are some tips to help you understand instructions.
3. Think about it from another perspective
1. Find the verb! In the instructions, the verbs are the most important part. It can help to create a mini notebook with instruction verbs. You can draw pictures to help you memorise the words. Look at the "Instructions in your textbook" page at the beginning of this book for ideas. Keep your mini notebook with your school books so you can look at it when you need!
Think about the main objective. Is there a project to do at the end of the school year? If you understand the objective, you can organise the process!
2. Listen closely and ask if you don't understand! It's normal if you don't understand everything. When you don't understand something, ask your teacher. You can ask when your classmates are doing a task if you're shy or embarassed. Remember, if you don't understand, some of your classmates probably don't! Drink a lot of water and sleep 8 hours per night to help you concentrate in class.
Now it's your turn! 1 Create a notebook with “instruction verbs”! a. To start with, note down all the verbs below in your notebook. You can add more verbs when you find them. look
tick
complete
circle
glue
write
speak
stick
choose
pick
highlight
reorder
count
colour
listen read
underline find
b. Next to each verb, note down the meaning in your own language. c. To finish off, think about illustrating each of the verbs!

How can you tell if something is true or false? It's easy to believe new information. Sometimes it's just a person's opinion. How can you know? Here's how!
1. Stay alert!
1. Beware of simplification!
Question sources of information. This includes texts, videos and the internet.
Summarising a complex idea can be a good a task. But be careful! Simplifying means reducing and choosing the most important aspects, but it also means removing some information. This can encourage generalisations.
2. Who is providing the information? Investigate the author. Imagine a car. The person selling the car says it's incredible. A person who worries about nature says a car is awful. They are talking about the same object! Think about the author's purpose.
2. Think outside the box! When you share these ideas, you are responsible for their consequences. Check that you really know about the topic. Be open to other people's opinions.
3. Rephrase the information! Repeat information and then say it with your own words. If can you, then you understand the information! Indicate where the information comes from.
How does it work? The human brain likes logic, it tries to find immediate explanations. But reality can be complex. Some things are complicated to explain and that's fine!
4. Reflect and evaluate You have understood. But can you tell the difference between opinion and fact? A fact is objective, it is the same for everyone. An opinion is subjective, it varies according to people's opinions. Is the information subjective or objective?

It makes the information clear. How does it work? Illustrations are important for a slide show. It is easier to remember an idea when it is associated with an image.
5. Add the finishing touches to your presentation
Add transitions and animations, but not too many or you will make your audience dizzy.
3. Choose the right pictures!
Just because you find a picture on the internet doesn't mean you can use it! Use an image bank such as Pixabay, Freepik or FreeImages. Cite the author of the picture or the website where you found it.
How does it work? To understand and memorise information, the brain needs time and tranquillity. The brain needs clear information, lots details.

How to prepare for and act out a scene
Do you have to act out a scene in En glish with a classmate? Don’t panic! Use these ti ps to impres s the audienc e!
1. Get into character! • Read the instructions properly to find out: – who your character is: an English student, a journalist, or an animal? – who you are writing to: a friend, a salesperson, or a teacher? – where you are: in a shop, in a house, or in a tourist agency? – your objective: to get information or to organise a trip? • If you need more information, imagine what you need so you can visualise the scene. To help you, fill in the table below. To make it more realistic use props and create a set!
Name: Alex Age: 12 Job: pupil Personality: shy, friendly Feelings at the moment of the conversation: hungry
Place of the conversation: school cafeteria Goal of the conversation: have information
on the school menu
Who the character is speaking to: the cook
2. Get ready! • The scene should look natural. Imagine what you would say in a certain situation and note down any vocabulary and expressions that will be useful. Don’t write down everything and don't memorise everything! For a scene in the canteen, you could note down the following, for example: –V ocabulary: food / meal / dessert / fruit... –Expressions: I’d like… / Can you…?
3. Be natural! Good morning! Thank you!
Good afternoon!
Have a nice day!
Hello! Goodbye!
• Don't forget to greet the other person at the start and say goodbye at the end! • A conversation is more than just words! Think about your tone of voice happy or angry. Hand gestures and even imitating your partner!
now, let's play! Track: 16
1. This sentence is recorded with a different intonation every time. Listen and identify the person's emotion. My name is Cameron.
happy
sad
shy
angry
2. In groups of 2 or 3 people: every person should choose an emotion. Then say the sentence in exercise 1 with that tone of voice. The others guess the emotion. Then repeat with your own sentences. Who is the best actor? number 159 one hundred and fifty-nine
How to give a talk or a speech 1. Understand the job! • First of all, carefully read the instructions given by your teacher: - What will you be talking about (your family, school, hobbies, etc)? - Who will you be talking to (your classmates, your English pen pal, a group of tourists, etc)? - What is your objective (to explain, present, convince, etc)? - Are there any guidelines to follow (comment on pictures, make a video, use a certain tense, etc)?
Does speaki ng in public make you ne rvous? Don't panic! Follo w these tips and take a d eep breath. You’ll see th at it's not too difficult !
Now, you're on! 1. Place these sentences in the correct order to create a structured talk. a. Second, I don’t like sports. I am terrible at basket-ball. b. Today, my presentation is about… me! c. My name is Nora and I am French. d. Finally, my favourite subject at school is History. e. First, I love movies! My favourite movie is Hunger Games. f. Good afternoon everyone! g. That is all. Thank you and goodbye!
2. Organise yourself!
3. Use keywords!
• So that your audience can follow your thoughts, make sure to structure your speech in several parts:
• Only memorise the keywords: the most important words in your presentation so your audience can understand your speech. These words should be emphasised in spoken English.
- 1. Welcome and introduction to the topic, My subject is sports.
Hello everyone! Today, my presentation is about my family.
I want to talk about New York City.
- 2. Presenting the different ideas to be covered, in order, First, … Secondly, … Thirdly, … Finally, …
- 3. Conclusion and goodbye. That's all. Thank you and goodbye.
• When preparing your speech, don’t write everything down! Only write down the main ideas for each one of the parties. number 160 one hundred and sixty
For example, in the sentence Music is very important for me, the keywords are music and important.
• If you can't remember what to say, use short words like er… or well… while you find your place again.
Now, you're on! 2. Note down the keywords in this extract from a talk. In the morning, I wake up at 7 o’clock. I always take a shower before breakfast. I take the bus to school on Monday and Tuesday. I don’t take the bus on Wednesday.
3. Now, listen to the talk. Identify the words that the person stresses. This Track: 17 will help you confirm that you found the right keywords.
4. Using the same keywords as in the previous exercises, give your own speech.
4. It’s a question of attitude!
5. Shakespeare, my dear! • To make sure you are understood, you must pronounce things correctly! Always learn new words by listening to and repeating their pronunciation. brother
• Even if you are not comfortable with public speaking, act like you are! - Look at your classmates. Look at some of your friends in class to give you courage. - Talk loudly, slowly and clearly so that everyone can understand you. - Stand up straight and use hand gestures and facial expressions to illustrate what you are saying. - Feel free to move around the room and, if you are using pictures during your talk, point out the things you are talking about to your classmates. • When preparing for the talk, practise in front of a mirror and/or with your family.
I'm going to talk about...
Good morning, everyone! Today, I am going to talk about...
brozeur… brozer… brotheur… brother!
• Think about sentence stress. Remember: when a word ends in a consonant and the next word starts with a vowel, the two words should be pronounced like one word. On the other hand, when a word ends in a letter and the next word starts with the same letter, the repeated letter is only pronounced once.
Now, you're on! 6. Say these sentences with the correct stress. a. I’m the king of the world! (Titanic) b. Winter is coming! (Game of Thrones) c. I don’t want to forget. (Finding Dory) 7. Say the phrases below: a. This is a pretty bedroom! b. What time is it? c. I hate ants. d. She’s eating a banana. e. I need a new coat.
Now, you're on!
When listening to you talk, we should know whether your are enthusiastic, angry, happy. Express your emotions by using the correct intonation!
5. To help improve your self-confidence, play the game Truth or Lie? with your classmates. Each person should give information (true or false) with the most confidence possible. The goal is to make the others believe the most ridiculous things!

How to read over your homework
Did you finish your English hom ework? Mak e sure everyt hing is correc t by checking over the following po ints before handing your homework to your teac her!
1. Everything in its place! • A simple sentence is: a subject, a verb and, often, an object. Don't forget anything! I
like
My mother
loves
subject
verb
subject
verb
3. Pay attention to the details!
chocolate.
• Take a few minutes to make sure your punctuation and spelling are correct!
cakes.
• Remember that some nouns are always written with a capital letter: countries and their inhabitants, languages, nationalities, days of the week and months.
object object
• Adjectives (words that describe a noun) are placed before nouns. a blue car adj.
noun
4. Don’t confuse them! 2. Let’s agree • In the simple present tense, verbs have an -s at the end in the third person singular (he, she, Tom…). I play basketball. Jason plays tennis. • All modal verbs are used in the same way: can / must + verb root (= verb in the infinitive without to and without -ing). They must work. She can be very funny. • Adjectives never have an -s at the end in their plural form in English. My best friends are Emily and Pam.
• there is + singular there are + plural If you know you need to count, you have to use there are. • Pay attention so you don't get confused: - you’re (you are) / your: You’re my friend. ≠ Your pen is on the table. - they’re (they are) / their / there: They’re sad. ≠ Their life is great. ≠ Look over there! - it’s (it is) / its: I love your house: it’s very pretty! ≠ I like its style.
• Use the article an and not a in front of words that start with a vowel, to make pronunciation easier: an aunt, an arm…
Now, let's revise! 1. These sentences were written by an absentminded student. Correct them! a. I love chocolate! What is you’re favourite food? b. I doesn’t think its true. c. My best friend have eyes blues. d. There is three books english on the table. e. New York? Its a amazing city! 162 one hundred and sixty-two
