Hello I am Liz. I’m a girl. I’m 11 years old and I have one sister and one brother. My sister is nine years old. Her name is Jennifer. My brother Peter is only one.

I’m fond of my brother and sister. We live in a big house in London. My father is a

minister in a church there. My grandfather and grandmother live in this house too.

I’ve also got a dog called Tommy. It’s a black poodle. I love playing with my dog.

When Jennifer and I play with him we sometimes dress him in Peter’s clothes and

put him in a pram and then he looks like a baby. We then walk with him down the

road and he is our black baby, but he sometimes jumps out of the pram, runs down

the road, back home, in my brother’s clothes.

Let me introduce myself

Mrs. Jones is waiting for an important phone call, but she has no bread in the

house, so she leaves the baby at home and says to his five-year-old brother: “I’m

going to the shops, Tim, and I will be back in a few minutes”.

When mother is out, the phone rings and Tim answers.

“Hello”, says a man, “ is your mother there?”.

“No”, answers Tim.

The man says: “When she comes back, tell her that Mr Baker has phoned”.

“What?” “Mr. Baker. Write it down. B-A-K-E-R”.

Tim asks: “Uhh, how do you make a ‘B’?

“How do you make a B?”uestion 4

“Listen little boy, is there anybody else with you? Any brothers or sisters?”

“Yes”, says Tim. “My brother Jimmy is here”.

The man says: “Good, I want to talk to him, please”. And Tim takes the phone to

the baby’s bed and gives it to Jimmy”.

When mother comes back, she asks: “Hello Tim, has anyone phoned? ”

“Yes,” says Tim, “a man, but he only wanted to talk to Jimmy”.

A funny phone call for my aunt Mrs Jones

Uhh, how do you make

a ‘B’?

...?!!

B Reading

My teacher thinks he has a nice hobby, but we don’t like it. He likes to write stories

about his pupils. We are his pupils, so he writes about us! We don’t like that

because he writes down everything we do: the nice things and the naughty things.

He writes about Peter who is very good at reading and about Helen who eats

sweets at school and about Tom who is always late. My teacher sends these stories

to our parents so that they know how we behave at school.

naughty = ondeugend

behave = gedragen

My teacher’s hobby

Hij houdt van schrijven.

Wij vinden voetballen leuk.

Hij vindt lezen leuk.

Zij vindt computers leuk.

Ze zijn dol op mijn kleine broertje.

Zij is dol op lezen.

verleden tijd! ‘They

are’, mag je afkorten tot

Five year old John is in hospital and his uncle Frank

visits him.

Uncle Frank: “Hello John. How are you today?”

John: “I’m fi ne uncle Frank. I’m going home on

Thursday”.

Uncle Frank: “When is Thursday, John?”.

John: “I don’t know, uncle Frank”.

Uncle Frank: “What day is it now, John?”

John: “Perhaps it’s Tuesday, or perhaps it’s Friday. I

really don’t know”.

Uncle Frank: “What day was it yesterday, John?”

John: “Yesterday was Monday”.

Uncle Frank: “Yesterday was Monday, so today is …?”

John: “I don’t know”.

Uncle Frank: “Tuesday! And tomorrow is…?”

John: “Saturday?”

Uncle Frank: “No, John, tomorrow is Wednesday.

It’s time to tell you the days of the week. Let’s begin.

Here’s your bed. There are seven parts. The fi rst part

of your bed is the pillow, where your head is. That’s

the best part, so that’s Sunday. That’s a good day. We

go to church on Sunday and we have pudding after

dinner on Sunday.”.

John: “All right. The pillow is Sunday. That’s a good

day. We go to church on Sunday”.

Uncle Frank: “Now the end of your bed is the end of

the week. So the end of your bed is Saturday. Is that

right, John?”

John: “That’s right, uncle Frank. The end of the bed is

Saturday.

Uncle Frank: “The middle of the bed is the middle

of the week. That’s Wednesday. So Wednesday is the

middle of the bed. Now John, please repeat”.

John: “The fi rst part of the bed, where my pillow is

Sunday. Here in the middle is Wednesday, and there at

the end of my bed is Saturday”.

Uncle Frank: “Now John, after Sunday there’s Monday

and Tuesday. Where are they on your bed?”

John: “Here they are! Here’s Monday and here’s

Tuesday”.

Uncle Frank: “After Wednesday we have Thursday

and Friday. And then the end of the week is Saturday”.

John: “Here’s Thursday and Friday, and there at the

end of the bed is Saturday”.

Uncle Frank: “That’s excellent! Now John, don’t

forget!”.

Two days later John’s father visits him.

Father: “Hello John. How are you? Here are four

bananas”.

John: “I’m fi ne, thanks. Sit down on Saturday and put

the bananas on Wednesday so that I can eat them on

Sunday!

This story is about my little cousin, called Emily. She has an elder brother named

Harry. He goes to school. Emily also wants to go to school. One day, Emily sees

her mother making a red skirt for her. She says, “Emily, from tomorrow you will go

to school!” Emily is very happy. In the evening her father comes home from offi ce.

Emily, Harry, Mummy and Daddy go to the market. Daddy buys Emily a red school

bag. He also buys her four books with many beautiful pictures. They are just like

the books Harry has.

The next day, Emily dresses herself in the red skirt and a white blouse. She picks up

her new school bag and goes to school with Mummy and Harry. Emily has lots of

fun in school. There is a very nice teacher who tells them stories. She also teaches

the children how to draw a cat. The children play on the swing. Then the teacher

takes them to a pond and shows them jumping frogs.

Mummy has told Emily, “Do not come home alone. Wait for Harry, right?” “Yes,

mummy, I will.” But Emily is a naughty girl. After school is over she says to herself,

“I know where the house is. I don’t wait for Harry.” So, Emily starts for home without

waiting for Harry. She walks on and on. But she can’t fi nd her house. She only sees

buildings that look new to her. Yes, Emily has lost her way! She begins to cry.

Suddenly, she sees that a big dog is coming after her. She says, “Go away,

doggie!” But the dog doesn’t go away. And Emily is afraid. Emily doesn’t know

what to do. She stands on the road and looks around. And then she sees a park.

“Oh, yes! Grandma lives near this park,’ she says to herself.

Emily runs fast and reaches Grandma’s house. Grandma opens the door. She takes

Emily in her arms and asks, “Why have you come alone, Emily?” Emily tells her how

she has lost her way. Grandma calls Emily’s mother. Soon mummy comes to take her

home. “Mummy, I will not come home alone from school again”, Emily says.

Now Emily waits for mummy or Harry to take her home every day.

Grammar 1Persoonlijke voornaamwoorden

Enkelvoud

1e persoon ik + I (altijd met een hoofdletter in het Engels)

2e persoon jij/ u = you

3e persoon zij = she

hij = he

het = it

Meervoud

1e persoon wij = we

2e persoon jullie = you

3e persoon zij = they

‘it’ wordt gebruikt voor dingen en dieren (behalve voor een huisdier, ‘a pet’, dat is een ‘she’ of een ‘ he’)

Grammar 2Drie belangrijke hulpwerkwoorden

HET HULPWERKWOORD ‘TO BE’ = ZIJN

Het hulpwerkwoord ‘zijn’ in de tegenwoordige tijd

Enkelvoud

1e persoon ik ben = I am (I’m)

2e persoon jij/u bent = you are (you’re)

3e persoon zij is = she is (she’s)

hij is = he is (he’s)

het is = it is (it’s)

Meervoud

1e persoon wij zijn = we are (we’re)

2e persoon jullie zijn = you are (you’re)

3e persoon zij zijn = they are (they’re)

14


HET HULPWERKWOORD ‘TO HAVE’ = HEBBEN

Het hulpwerkwoord ‘hebben’ in de tegenwoordige tijd

Enkelvoud

1e persoon ik heb = I have (I’ve) (‘I’is altijd met een hoofdletter)

2e persoon jij hebt / u heeft = you have (you’ve)

3e persoon zij heeft = she has (she’s)

hij heeft = he has (he’s)

het heeft = it has (it’s)

Meervoud

1e persoon wij hebben = we have (we’ve)

2e persoon jullie hebben = you have (you’ve)

3e persoon zij hebben = they have (they’ve)

Pas op! Het hulpwerkwoord ‘to have’ heeft heel vaak ‘got’ achter zich. Dat ‘got’ betekent dan niets!

HET HULPWERKWOORD ‘TO DO’ = DOEN

Het hulpwerkwoord ‘doen’ in de tegenwoordige tijd

Enkelvoud

1e persoon ik doe = I do (‘I’is altijd met een hoofdletter)

2e persoon jij/u doet = you do

3e persoon zij doet = she does

hij doet = he does

het doet = it does

Meervoud

1e persoon wij doen = we do

2e persoon jullie doen = you do

3e persoon zij doen = they do

15

Grammar 3Zelfstandige werkwoorden

Zelfstandige werkwoorden in de tegenwoordige tijd (= present simple) worden normaal gesproken als

hieronder vervoegd

Enkelvoud

1e persoon ik eet = I eat (‘I’is altijd met een hoofdletter)

2e persoon jij/ u eet = you eat

3e persoon zij eet = she eats (!)

hij eet = he eats (!)

het eet = it eats (!)

Meervoud

Wij eten wij eten = we eat

Jullie eten jullie eten = you eat

Zij eten zij eten = they eat

• Bij she, he , it altijd + s

• In plaats van she, he en it kan er ook een naam staan. Bij voorbeeld: Susan (= she) eats.

Frank (= he) eats

• In het Nederlands maak je de infi nitief meestal door ‘en’ achter een werkwoord te zetten.

In het Engels doe je dat niet, maar zet je er iets vóór, namelijk ‘to’.

Bij voorbeeld: to walk (lopen), to cycle (fi etsen), to read (lezen), to come (komen). Dit ‘to’

mag niet in de zin staan.
