"The first thing you need to do when you arrive at the Oasis Health Food Café is choose a table."

Oasis Health Food Café

number before ordering your food at

the bar. You need to pay when you order.

Vocabulary Strategies

When you don’t know what a word means, ask yourself these questions:

1. Is it an important word?

First, ask yourself if you need to know what the word means. Can you understand the text without knowing the meaning of this specific word?

Yes. If you don’t really need to know this word, just continue reading or listening. You don’t have to understand every single word of the text to understand it.

No. Is the word important? Then ask yourself the next question:

2. Which strategy do I choose?

You can do several things to find out what a word means. For example: you can use the context, use your knowledge of other words, use images and videos, or look it up in a dictionary.

1.2 Reading: exercise 1-35

Listening

Introduction

There is a lot of spoken English around you, probably more than you realise.

 

You listen to spoken English when you watch your favourite YouTube channel or Netflix series, when you talk to someone who doesn’t speak Dutch, when you see an international news item online or when you watch video’s on your favourite social media platform. And, last but not least, when you listen to music! 

We’ll take you to Nigeria to practise your listening skills. You may not be used to the accent, but we’ll help you understand.

Nollywood

 Nollywood is Nigeria’s own film industry. It’s the second largest film industry in the world! Over 2,000 films are released from Nigeria every year.

Nollywood keeps growing and is getting better known around the world. You can now even watch Nollywood-films now in cinemas and on Netflix in Europe.
