An adjective is a word that describes, identifies, modifies, or quantifies something (a noun or a pronoun). In English, an adjective usually comes before the noun it pertains to (for example, a red apple or a cute cat.). Adjectives can be classified into many categories. Using Hyphens for Compound Adjectives Some adjectives are used as a group to provide a description; if the group of words form a single idea and are used before the noun, they should be connected by hyphens to make their meaning clear. Example of the Sequence of Multiple Adjectives in Chart Form: Comparative and Superlative Adjectives A comparative adjective is used to compare two things. If a 1-syllable adjective ends in "e", the endings are "-r" and "-st", for example: wise, wiser, wisest.
Urban legend An urban legend, popular legend, urban myth, urban tale or contemporary legend is a form of modern folklore consisting of fictional stories with macabre elements deeply rooted in local popular culture. These legends can be used for entertainment purposes, as well as for semi-serious explanations for random events such as disappearances and strange objects. Despite its name, an urban legend does not necessarily originate in an urban area. Rather, the term is used to differentiate modern legend from traditional folklore of pre-industrial times. For this reason, sociologists and folklorists prefer the term "contemporary legend". Some urban legends have passed through the years with only minor changes to suit regional variations. Origins and structure[edit] Propagation and belief[edit] As Jan Brunvand pointed out[5] antecedent legends including some of the motifs, themes and symbolism of these urtexts can readily be identified. Belief and relation to mythology[edit] Other terminology[edit]

Det var en amerikan som bodde i Sverige och bloggade om sina upplevelser. Språket är verkligen autentiskt och väldigt informellt, vilket gör texten väldigt lätt att ta till sig.Jag kontaktade bloggaren och bad att få använda hans texter i undervisningen, vilket han gärna lät mig göra. Jag valde ut de avsnitt där han beskrev möten med svensk mat, som nyponsoppa, flädersaft, blodpudding och Djungelvrål. Jag skapade frågor till texterna som syftar till att både förstå innehållet och förstå vissa språkliga finurligheter. Det krävs en hel del strategier och omvärldskunskaper för att hänga med, det är svårt att förstå varför nyponsoppan plötsligt blir japansk om man inte känner till att Nippon är det japanska namnet för Japan, till exempel. Jag har använt de här övningarna i många grupper och de lockar alltid fram skratt. Enjoy!
Dags att reflektera över reflektionen på engelska! - Annika Sjödahl Jag har nyligen satt ihop en planering utifrån förmågan att reflektera, jämföra och diskutera olika samhällsfrågor och livsvillkor baserat på den kris som vi har i Europa. Jag delade den och fick en förfrågan om det inte är så att eleverna inte ska jämföra den svenska kulturen mot de länder där engelska är ett officiellt språk. Jag har funderat lite över det här och har valt att skriva om det för jag tycker det är viktigt att lyfta fram hur vi ser på engelskan i dag i en föränderlig tid. Jag börjar med de formuleringar vi har stöd av enligt läroplanerna. reflektera över livsvillkor, samhällsfrågor och kulturella företeelser i olika sammanhang och delar av världen där engelska används. Bedömningen för betyget E är: Eleven diskuterar översiktligt några företeelser i olika sammanhang och områden där engelska används, och kan då också göra enkla jämförelser med egna erfarenheter och kunskaper. Så här stod det i Lpo 94: I mitt förra inlägg skrev jag om att det inte är OK att svara på svenska!
How To Read Effectively In A Foreign Language If you’re learning a foreign language, and you don’t read regularly… You should be. But do you know how to read effectively in another language, without getting overwhelmed by unknown vocabulary and complex grammar that doesn’t make sense? In this article you’ll learn how to use reading to quickly learn new words and boost your fluency in your target language, even if you’re just getting started, and even if you’ve tried and failed before. Let’s get started. Why should you bother reading? You’ve probably heard before that reading helps you to learn language. But why? What are the benefits of learning a language with stories, as opposed to with a textbook? Understanding what reading is, and why you would do it, is the first step to becoming an effective reader. The main benefit of reading is that you gain exposure to good quality, natural language. If you read a lot (for pleasure or study), this is commonly known as extensive reading. This is known as intensive reading. So what’s the catch?
