1 Adjective or adverb – circle the correct form.

The British and the Americans speak the same language, but otherwise they are very different. For example, the British usually drive rather slowly and are careful when handling their cars. Americans, on the other hand, like to drive as quickly as possible, even if they get a speeding ticket. Then look at the way they eat: a lot of Americans prefer to eat quick meals in their cars, even if that doesn’t taste very good. In Britain, most people sit down to a hearty meal in the evenings, which they eat slowly. They find „fast food“ rather unpleasant. Of course, both countries really have very good food and many excellent specialities which one can hardly find in other places. One thing is certainly  true: the Americans move house more easily than the British. In fact, they do it all the time.

4 Put in the adjectives in the right form.

a) Snowdon is the highest mountain in England and Wales. But Ben Nevis in Scotland is higher . It is the highest mountain in the British Isles. But it isn’t the most difficult to climb. There are other Scottish mountains which are steeper and more dangerous than Ben Nevis.

b) London is Britain’s biggest and most famous city. It is one of the most exciting capitals in the world. Harrod’s, the department store, is more famous than any other shop in the UK. You can see some of the best actors in the world in London’s theatres. And you can visit some of the world’s most fascinating museums. The Tower of London is one of the most popular sights for tourists.

c) Nottingham Forest is one of the oldest football clubs in Britain. It started in 1865. The city of Nottingham is much older than that, of course. A thousand years ago it was already one of the most important towns in England.

6 Matthew’s night in the outback

Matthew shivers (1). He knows (2) he is (3) lost. He has (4) never spent a night alone in the bush before. He doesn’t (5) doubt he will (6) be found sooner or later, because if he isn’t (7) home tomorrow his father will (8) send out a search party very quickly.

But the night seems (9) endless. The stars are (10) shining and Matthew is (11) moving his arms to warm himself up. With sunrise the wind gets (12) up again and Matthew walks (13) around and does (14) some exercises.

He thinks (15) he can (16) build a shelter against the wind and the sun. But then he two black men come (17) out of the bush. After he has (18) told them about his problem they tell (19) him where he has (20) to go to find a farm with a telephone.

a) Setze die unterstrichenen Verben in die in diesem Text passende Gegenwartsform

und trage sie in die Kästchen ein.

shiver – zittern / doubt – zweifeln / search party – Suchtrupp / shelter – Unterschlupf

b) Erzähle die Geschichte in eigenen Worten in Deutsch.

(Sollte inhaltlich in etwa folgendes enthalten,

kann auch in Vergangenheitsform sein:)

Matthew zittert. Er weiß, dass er sich verlaufen hat. Er hat noch nie eine Nacht allein im Busch verbracht. Er zweifelt nicht daran, dass man ihn früher oder später finden wird, denn wenn er morgen nicht zu Hause ist, wird sein Vater sehr schnell eine Suchmannschaft ausschicken.

Aber die Nacht scheint endlos. Die Sterne scheinen und Matthew bewegt seine Arme um sich aufzuwärmen. Bei Sonnenaufgang nimmt der Wind wieder zu und Matthew geht herum und macht einige Übungen.

Er denkt, er kann einen Unterschlupf gegen den Wind und die Sonne bauen. Aber dann kommen zwei schwarze Männer (australische Ureinwohner – hier lag ein Druckfehler vor: „back“ statt „black“) aus dem Busch. Nachdem er ihnen von seinem Problem erzählt hat, sagen sie ihm wohin er gehen muss, um eine Farm mit einem Telefon zu finden.

Principal: Please don’t argue about Miller. He’s not the only boy in the school. What about attendance? Has he missed any days this quarter.

Miss Hart: Oh yes – ten days! And he overslept three times! In fact, when I entered the classroom this morning, he was lying on one of the tables at the back of the room, fast asleep!

Principal: Oh dear, he does seem to be a problem.
