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, and every time she looked at her phone to see what time it was, it was 2.55. How could that be? It was almost like time stood still. How strange, she thought. When she was getting ready for school in the morning, there was never enough time. But there was no school today, of course – she was still on summer break and nothing, absolutely nothing, had happened all summer.
But all that was about to change. After many boring, lonely weeks, Zelda’s friends were finally back home. They were supposed to come over at three o’clock and she had already been pacing her room for at least half an hour, hoping that
bored uttråkad enough tillräckligt finally äntligen
were supposed to skulle pacing gå fram och tillbaka
they would get there early. She couldn’t wait to see her friends again.
‘I hope they will be here soon’, she said to her stuffed cat, Gizmo, that was lying on her bed next to a few colourful pillows. Of course, Gizmo didn’t answer. He just stared back at her with his big, round plastic eyes.
Over the last year, strange things had happened to Zelda and her friends – but at least there were no talking toys. Not yet, anyway.
She walked outside. Perhaps her friends were on their way? But when she stepped into the garden. There was no sight of them.
‘Okay’, she said to herself. ‘I guess I’ll check the post box while I wait.’
Zelda opened the post box and peeked inside. It was empty, except for a very small letter. Curious, she reached down and pulled it out. Then she gasped. 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.
Or … did she? She looked a bit closer. There was something familiar about the handwriting –stuffed cat gosedjurskatt no sight syntes inte till peeked kikade curious nyfiken recognise känna igen familiar bekant
the way the Z of her name tilted and swayed like waves in the ocean. Her heart started to beat faster. Why did it look like her own handwriting?
‘I didn’t send this letter to myself’, she whispered. ‘Did I?’
Zelda was bored, but she wasn’t that bored. Besides, the letter looked like it had a travelled a long way. There were tons of stamps on it, and the envelope was slightly torn, with little stains next to Zelda’s name. They looked like water stains. Zelda held up the letter to her nose and sniffed. For a second, she thought she could smell saltwater and coconuts. tilted lutade besides dessutom envelope kuvert
slightly en aning torn trasig stains fläckar
She tore open the envelope. There was a photograph inside of a girl standing on a tropical beach. At first, Zelda thought it might be a postcard, but it looked like a regular photo. But there was something postcard-y about the beach, she thought. 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 turquoise blue.
Are those coconut trees? Zelda thought. Well, they must be.
But who was the girl? Zelda looked closely. In fact, the girl looked like Zelda. The mysterious girl could almost be Zelda’s twin. They had the same hair, the same skin, the same smile. And the girl had tiny freckles on her face – just like Zelda. Zelda sometimes wished that she had a twin. It seemed so cool to have someone who looked just like you. Someone to share stuff with. What if Zelda had found her twin?
tore slet postcard vykort closely närmre
wasn’t used to var inte van vid fair-skinned ljushyad
‘How strange’, Zelda said to herself. ‘I wonder who that could be. And what does she want?’
Slowly, Zelda turned the photograph over. There was something on the back of the photo, written in the same handwriting she had seen on the envelope. The message was short. It just said: Wish you were here.
freckles fräknar wonder undrar turned vände seen sett written skriven wish önskar
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 me?
Zelda thought of her dad’s family in the Caribbean. They lived on the island of Tobago, but Zelda had never actually met them. Her dad never wanted them to talk about his family. They had a couple of photos at home on the wall, but that was it. Sometimes Zelda felt like her dad’s family had some kind of dark, terrible secret. But what could it be? Maybe the girl who had sent her the photo could help her find out.
thought of tänkte på actually faktiskt terrible hemsk secret hemlighet find out ta reda på
Are you sure you want to find out? a voice whispered softly to her. Some secrets are kept hidden for a reason.
Suddenly, Zelda heard a noise across the street – an echo of laughter. Seconds later, Liam, Sam, and Matilda were walking into her garden.
‘There you are!’ Zelda shouted. ‘Finally! I’ve been waiting forever!’
Her friends grinned 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 finally coming off tomorrow. Can’t wait.’
‘So, what have the two of you been up to?’
Sam asked the twins. ‘You’ve been staying with your aunt and uncle in the UK, right?’
‘Yep’, said Liam. ‘We just got back yesterday.’
‘He’s been reading all summer.’ Matilda gave Zelda a wide-eyed Can you believe it? look.
‘Actual books.’
‘Books? Are you sure we’re talking about kept hålls hidden gömda for a reason av en anledning
grinned flinade cast gips believe tro
Liam?’ Sam joked.
Liam stared at his friend. ‘Oh, come on. I HAVE read before, you know.’
‘Anyway’, Liam continued, ‘we went to London for a few days. Matilda wanted to visit this huge bookshop near Piccadilly Circus, and I found some really cool horror books by a guy called J.Z. Shivers. I think I’ve read them all now. They’re super scary! Lots of ghosts and zombies and stuff. You’d like them, Zelda. You too, Sam.’
joked skämtade stared stirrade anyway i alla fall
continued fortsatte horror books skräckromaner scary läskiga
‘Oh, I’ve never heard of those!’ said Sam.
‘Cool’, Zelda said. But she couldn’t stop thinking about the letter.
‘Zelda? Are you okay? What’s that in your hand?’ Matilda reached out and touched the photograph.
‘Oh’, said Zelda. ‘Yeah, it’s sort of weird, actually. 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.’
‘Wish you were here’, Matilda repeated. ‘But why? You don’t know who sent the letter, right?’
‘No’, said Zelda weakly. ‘Hey’, she added. ‘How about some iced tea? I think my mum made some last night. Can you believe how hot it is?’
Matilda didn’t answer at first. She was still staring at the photo with raised eyebrows. Then she said, quite slowly: ‘She sort of looks like you, you know.’
reached out sträckte sig weird konstigt except for förutom weakly svagt added la till raised höjda
‘I know’, said Zelda.
‘A mystery’, said Sam. There was a twinkle in his eyes. Sam loved mysteries.
‘Yeah, a mystery, I guess’, Zelda agreed. ‘A strange one.’
‘But mysteries can be solved.’ Matilda smiled. ‘Even strange ones. I bet your dad knows who the girl in the picture is. Maybe she’s a relative or something. Let’s go talk to him!’
Zelda hesitated. ‘Um. Dad doesn’t like to be disturbed when he's working.’
twinkle tindra be solved lösas bet slår vad om
relative släkting hesitated tvekade disturbed störd
Zelda’s dad was working right now. They could hear him inside the study: that fast, steady, rat-a-tat sound from his keyboard as he typed. Zelda didn’t really know much about her dad’s job. For as long as Zelda could remember, her dad had worked from home. He always took a cup of coffee with him and locked himself in the study to work. She could often hear how he paced the room and even talked to himself. Sometimes she could hear strange music and voices from the study too. But her dad 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. The typing was even louder now. Before Zelda could say anything, Liam knocked on the door. study arbetsrum locked himself låste in sig nice trevlig

Pizza and coconuts
Is this the right place?
Pizza and coconuts
A few hours later, Zelda and her friends were having pizza in Zelda’s room. They sat on the floor and ate slices straight from the pizza box. The pizza was delicious: hot and salty. Zelda’s dad had ordered four different pizzas, so the gang had a lot to choose from. Everyone found their favourite.
‘Mmm, cheese!’ said Matilda.
‘Mmm, pepperoni!’ said Liam.
‘Mmm, ham and pineapple!’ said Sam.
‘I like all of them’, said Zelda. ‘But my dad likes banana on his pizza. That’s a bit weird, isn’t it?’
‘I don’t know’, said Liam. ‘I’d like to try it sometime. I’ve never met a pizza I didn’t like.’
‘I think so …’ But Zelda didn’t sound too sure. They were heading away from the beach now, towards the dense forest surrounding it. Zelda tried to go in the opposite direction, but something pushed her forward. Onward. Okay, she thought. I guess we’re going that way. They landed inside a tropical forest where the air was even warmer and thicker. The sun was almost gone now, and the sky had softened into shades of deep, dark blue. That trickling sound they had heard back in Zelda’s bedroom was
everywhere: there must be a waterfall nearby, she thought. Up in the trees, colourful parrots were cawing 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!’
But Zelda didn’t have time to look at the monkeys. She stared at the small, winged creature hanging in the tree above her. It had sharp teeth sticking out of its little mouth, and a surprisingly sweet face. She came closer. The animal woke up

‘I know where that is!’ she said to her friends. ‘We saw those huts earlier, when we got here. Come on, let’s hurry!’
They ran down the beach. Sam’s heart was pounding so loudly, he thought it would jump out of his chest.
‘Anya’, he said quietly. ‘Please make sure our friend is safe.’
As they were coming closer to the fishing huts, a girl opened the door to the middle one and walked out. Then she locked the door behind her. earlier tidigare hurry skynda oss pounding bultade loudly högt chest bröst safe säker, trygg
She was moving towards them with a determined look on her face. Her hair was dark and curly, she had freckles on her face and …
‘She’s wearing a hoodie!’ Liam whispered. ‘Yeah, but that’s not all there is to it’, said Matilda. ‘She’s the girl from the photo.’
‘Hey! What have you done to Zelda?’ Liam demanded. ‘Why on earth did you kidnap her if you’re the one who wanted her here in the first place?’
Anya laughed. ‘Kidnap, oh my god! You’re a bit dramatic, aren’t you? I just wanted to talk to my cousin.’ determined bestämd look här: min demanded krävde why on earth varför i hela friden dramatic dramatisk cousin kusin

Zelda and her friends followed her and joined the party. Soon, they were standing next to the band. They were playing on big drums – that was where the beautiful music was coming from. But they didn’t look like normal drums.
‘What are these?’ Liam asked.
‘They are steelpans’, Anya explained. ‘It’s an old Caribbean instrument. You might have heard it in The Little Mermaid. You know, the ‘Under the Sea’ song.’ She started humming it, and the other children sang along.
‘Yes!’ said Zelda. ‘I thought I had heard something like that before. It’s beautiful.’
‘It’s called calypso’, said Anya. ‘The music –and the dance. See how some people are dancing? steelpans ståltrumma humming nynna sang along sjöng med
That’s calypso, too.’
Zelda looked around. There were people dancing and enjoying the music all over the beach. Some of them had brought picnics.
‘It’s a sunset celebration’, said Anya. ‘People come here to dance, eat, and listen to the music as the sun sets. I guess we’re a little late.’
‘Is your family here?’ Zelda whispered to Anya. She wanted to meet Anya’s family. They were her family too, weren’t they? But she couldn’t meet them, she reminded herself. Not now. If she met them now, she would have to lie about who she was. Zelda didn’t want to start off her relationship with her relatives with a lie.

The next morning, the children sat on the beach having breakfast. Anya had come back early – and she had brought delicious bread, cheese, fruit, and a big bottle of orange juice with her.
‘I told my parents I was going for a picnic on the beach.’ Anya had some juice and passed the bottle to Sam. ‘Technically, it wasn’t a lie.’
Zelda took a big sip of her juice. She rubbed her eyes. ‘I can’t believe what happened last night. Should we go straight to the police?’
‘Are you sure they would believe us?’ said Liam. ‘We’re just a bunch of kids.’
Sam swallowed. ‘They would call our parents’, he said quietly. ‘If we go to the police, I mean. passed skickade technically tekniskt sett sip klunk bunch hop swallowed svalde

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?
Music 5
Let’s Read: Charlie’s Dream
Every weekend, Charlie meets his friends to play music in his garage. They like famous bands like The Beatles, Oasis, and Coldplay. Charlie enjoys the powerful sound of the drums and keeping the rhythm. One day, he dreams of performing on a big stage in front of a crowd. Maybe he and his friends will start a band together!

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!

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.
Let's Play: Rockin' in the Night

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.
