Zelda’s Adventure
Helena Dahlgren
Wish you were here
Who’s that girl?
Families are complicated
Wish you were here
Zelda was bored. It was a hot day in August. She was still on summer break and nothing, absolutely nothing, had happened all summer.
But all that was about to change. Zelda’s friends were finally back home. They were supposed to come over soon and she couldn’t wait to see her friends again.
bored uttråkad summer break sommarlov change ändras finally äntligen were supposed to skulle
‘I hope they will be here soon’, she said to her stuffed cat, Gizmo, that was lying on her bed.
She walked outside. Perhaps her friends were on their way? But when she stepped into the garden, she couldn’t see them anywhere.
‘Okay’, she said to herself.
‘I guess I’ll check the post box while I wait’.
Zelda opened the post box. It was empty, except for a very small letter. She pulled it out. The letter was for her!
But who was it from? There was no return address on the envelope, and she didn’t recognise the handwriting.
stuffed cat gosedjurskatt perhaps kanske except förutom
letter brev return address avsändare recognise känna igen
The letter looked like it had travelled a long way. There were many stamps on it, and the envelope had little stains next to Zelda’s name.
Zelda held up the letter to her nose and sniffed. She thought she could smell saltwater and coconuts.
travelled rest envelope kuvert stains fläckar
She opened the envelope. There was a photograph inside, of a girl standing on a tropical beach. The photo looked like it was taken on holiday. The sand on the beach was white, with tall palm trees sticking up everywhere. The water was a lovely blue colour.
Are those coconut trees? Zelda thought. Well, they must be.
But who was the girl? Zelda looked closely. The girl was about her age. She wore denim shorts and a purple tshirt. She didn’t have shoes on, and her black hair was big and curly, just like Zelda’s.
In fact, the girl looked like Zelda. She could almost be Zelda’s twin. Zelda sometimes wished that she had a twin. Someone to share stuff with.
What if Zelda had found her twin?
Slowly, Zelda turned the photograph over. There was something written on the back of the photo.
The message was short. It said:
Wish you were here.
slowly långsamt turned vände written skrivet
message meddelande wish önskar were here vore här
Who’s that girl?
Zelda stared at the photo in her hand. Who was the girl in the picture? And why did she look like Zelda?
Zelda thought of her dad’s family in the Caribbean. They lived on the island of Tobago. Zelda had never met them. Her dad never wanted them to talk about his family.
Sometimes Zelda felt like her dad’s family had some kind of dark, terrible secret.
stared stirrade thought of tänkte på met träffat terrible hemsk secret hemlighet
Suddenly, Zelda heard laughter across the street. Seconds later, Liam, Sam, and Matilda were walking into her garden.
‘There you are!’ Zelda shouted.
Her friends smiled and hugged her. But there was something new about Liam.
‘Liam! What happened?’ Zelda pointed at Liam’s arm.
‘I hurt myself playing football’, said Liam. ‘I’ve had this stupid cast on the whole summer. It’s coming off tomorrow. Can’t wait.’
‘So, what have the two of you been up to?’ Sam asked the twins.
‘We’ve been staying with our aunt and uncle in the UK’, Matilda said. ‘And Liam’s been reading all summer.’ suddenly plötsligt hugged kramade hurt skadade cast gips been up to hittat på
‘I’ve read some really cool horror books by a guy called J.Z. Shivers’, said Liam.
‘They’re super scary! You’d like them, Zelda.’
‘Cool’, Zelda said. But she couldn’t stop thinking about the letter.
horror books skräckromaner guy kille scary läskiga
‘Zelda? Are you okay? What’s that in your hand?’ Matilda said.
‘Oh’, said Zelda. ‘I just got this letter, but I don’t know who it’s from. It doesn’t say anything, except for Wish you were here.’
Matilda stared at the photo and said: ‘She sort of looks like you, you know. Maybe she’s a relative or something.
I bet your dad knows who the girl in the picture is. Let’s go talk to him!’
Zelda hesitated. ‘Dad doesn’t like to be disturbed when he’s working’
bet slår vad om hesitated tvekade disturbed störd
Zelda’s dad was working right now. They could hear him typing inside the study. Zelda didn’t really know much about her dad’s job. He worked from home, but he never talked about his job.
‘But your dad is always so nice!’ said Matilda. ‘I’m sure he won’t mind.’
They were standing outside her dad’s study. Before Zelda could say anything, Liam knocked on the door. typing skriver, knappar nice trevlig won’t mind har inget emot study arbetsrum knocked knackade

Pizza and coconuts
A few hours later, Zelda and her friends were having pizza in Zelda’s room. The pizza was hot, salty and delicious. Everyone found their favourite.
When they were finished everyone was lying down, absolutely stuffed.

‘I think so …’ said Zelda.
They were heading away from the beach now, towards the forest next to it.
They landed inside a tropical forest. The sun was almost gone now, and the sky was dark blue. That trickling sound they had heard back in Zelda’s bedroom was everywhere: there must be a waterfall nearby, she thought.

There were colourful parrots up in the trees and there was a chattering sound, also from the trees. Could it be …?
‘Monkeys!’ said Liam.
‘Look, they’re climbing the trees! They’re so cute!’

‘I know where that is, we saw those huts when we got here!’ Matilda said to her friends.
They ran down the beach.
As they were coming closer to the fishing huts, they saw a girl coming out of one of them. She locked the door behind her. Her hair was dark and curly, she had freckles on her face and … closer närmare locked låste curly krulligt freckles fräknar
‘She’s wearing a hoodie!’ Liam whispered.
‘She’s the girl from the photo!’ said Matilda.
‘Hey! What have you done to Zelda?’ Liam asked. ‘Why did you kidnap her?’
Anya laughed. ‘Kidnap! You’re a bit dramatic, aren’t you? I just wanted to talk to my cousin. I’m Anya, and Zelda’s my cousin. I’ve wanted to meet her for ages. That’s why I sent the letter.’

Further down on the beach, she could see big, orange flames from a bonfire. There was music in the air, too.
Anya smiled. ‘There’s a party on the beach! Let’s go and check it out!’
Zelda and her friends followed her and joined the party. Soon, they were standing next to the band.

The band were playing on big drums. But they didn’t look like normal drums.
‘What are these?’ Liam asked.
‘They are steelpans’, Anya explained.
‘It’s an old Caribbean instrument. The music –and the dance – is called calypso. Would you like to try dancing the calypso?’

The next morning, the children sat on the beach having breakfast. Anya had brought bread, cheese, fruit, and a big bottle of orange juice.
‘I can’t believe what happened last night’, said Zelda.
‘Should we go straight to the police?’
‘The police would call our parents’, Sam said.
‘We can’t risk that. Nobody back home can know.’

Hiya! I’m
Charlie from Liverpool, England.
This is my buddy dog, Buster. He helps me to get around the city. I love music – especially classic rock! You don’t need to see to love listening to music – just open your ears! I play the drums together with my friends. What kind of music do you like?

Let’s Read: The Music We Like
Liverpool is an important place for music in England. The most famous band from Liverpool is The Beatles. Have you heard of them? Do you like their music? I do! They are my favourite band even though they are not together anymore. I want to be a famous drummer like Ringo Starr! The Beatles played a lot of different genres, or types of music, but many people think of them as classic rock musicians.
My friends also love music, but we have different tastes when it comes to the genre.
Finlay’s favourite music genre is hip hop. He likes new hip hop music, but his favourite bands are from the 1980s and 1990s. His dad lets him listen to his old CDs, because Finlay likes to use older technology. He doesn’t like to stream music online.
Sophie’s favourite kind of music is jazz. She likes that you never know what to expect next in jazz. Jazz can be relaxing, or it can be exciting! She plays the saxophone really well. She doesn’t like jazz songs with trumpets in them, though.
Aisha’s favourite kind of music is pop. She loves to listen to all the hits on the radio and streams music online. She listens to it everywhere: in her room, on the bus, and even in the bathroom! She likes to make up dances to the songs, but she doesn’t like to post videos of herself dancing.. She thinks it is too embarrassing. anymore längre tastes smak embarrassing pinsamt expect förvänta sig beats takter, slag whenever varje gång, närhelst
Gemma’s favourite music genre is hard rock. She says that the best way to make a bad day into a good day is to play rock music really loudly and scream as hard as you can! It always makes her feel better. She doesn’t like slow songs because they make her feel sad. She likes songs with strong beats and long guitar solos.
I know Buster is a dog, but I think he likes classical music the best. Whenever my mum plays something by Mozart, he falls asleep right away! He stays with me all the time, but I can tell that he doesn’t like sitting near me when I play the drums.

Let’s Read: A Music Review
Charlie’s band, The Whatsits, have had their first show. A reporter from their school paper wrote a review of their show and interviewed some fans.
The Whatsits’ First Gig
Last Saturday, I went to see the new rock band The Whatsits perform live.
They played in the school gym. I saw many of my classmates there!
The band was really fun, and they played great music! Jack is the newest member, and he plays the lead guitar. I think Jack fits in very well, and he played awesome solos!
One of my favourite songs they played was ‘Rockin' in the Night’. Everyone in the audience cheered and sang along!
However, I didn’t like that some of their songs sounded too similar. It would be nice if they tried new styles or different sounds.
By: Amelia Smith
Overall, I think The Whatsits are a great band, and I had a lot of fun at their show. I would recommend their concert to anyone who loves rock music. I had a great time! I can’t wait to see what they do next!

Sarah: ‘I love The Whatsits! Oliver’s voice is so powerful, and Jack plays the guitar like a pro! I hope they’ll put the songs online so I can listen to them again!’
Mark: ‘Charlie was my favourite! He made the drums sound amazing, but I hope they add more new songs next time.’
Emily: ‘It was good, but I think it would sound better with a harp.’
Rockin’ in the Night – Lyrics
Written by: Charlie Jones Performed by: The Whatsits
VERSE 1
We went to the park when the sun sank down, We sang our songs as the stars came ‘round. We took our guitars and they shook the trees, The music spread like a cool night breeze.
CHORUS
We were rockin' in the night, we felt so free, The moon rose high, and we saw the sea. We stood in a circle, our voices rang, And all the animals heard when we sang.

Activity Book
Activity Book B är en kooperativ och tematisk allt-i-ett-bok som verkligen aktiverar eleverna. Namnet Team English syftar på att läromedelsserien genomsyras av kooperativt lärande och laginsatser. Kooperativt lärande som metod är väl spridd i de svenska skolorna och har bevisats ha positiva effekter för såväl lärandet som motivation och inkludering.
I boken varvas enskilt arbete med kooperativt lärande i par, grupp eller klass där eleverna lär tillsammans och av varandra.
Boken har sju kapitel och varje kapitel har ett tema och en huvudperson, en ungdom från en stad i Storbritannien, som berättar om sina intressen. I kapitlet tränas alla färdigheter. Eleverna möter olika texttyper för läsförståelse, hörförståelseövningar samt uppgifter för att tala och skriva. Stödstrukturer, modelltexter och övningar förbereder eleverna väl för att de ska kunna uttrycka sig på egen hand. Dessutom finns det integrerade övningar för ordkunskap och grundläggande grammatik.
Särskilt tyngd läggs vid talövningarna och att få alla elever att våga tala. Det kooperativa arbetet ger eleverna mycket taltid och möjlighet att prata med stöd av varandra i par eller mindre grupper.
