Goal

I can better understand a text because I recognise English words which are similar to Dutch words.

Game: Stand out (5min)

1. everybody has to stand

2. a statement is made

3. take a seat when the statement applies to you

4. Try to leave 1 person standing

Preparing for the text

The theme is friendship

What does 'friendship' mean to you?

When is someone not a friend?

What is a 'false friend'?

Have you ever had a 'false friend'?

Have a look at The Marsili Syndrome (page 93), but don’t read the entire text yet. 

In the text, you can find words that look or sound similar to Dutch words. 

Scan the text to find the words from the left column below. Use the text to complete the grid with the correct Dutch translations.

C:

Exercise 18B

Which words did you find?

Read the text in silence

Afterwards do exercise 18C and 20

Difficult words in the text?

Strategy

You already know that you can guess the meaning of words you recognise from another language. Pay attention to false friends: words in two languages that look or sound similar but differ significantly in meaning! For instance, the English word fabric does not mean the same as the Dutch fabriek.
