Junior journalists far away from – langt borte fra
Chris and Milla work as junior journalists this week. They are watching a team from South Africa and a team from Norway playing in the Norway Cup. They are interviewing one of the players for Norway Cup Radio. Sarah is from South Africa. It is her first time in Norway. It is her first time on the radio, too.
Milla: Hello! My name is Milla. This is my friend Chris. How are you? Sarah: I am fine, thank you. Milla: Where are you from? Sarah: I am from South Africa. Chris: You are far away from home. How do you like Norway, Sarah?
10
Sarah: It is nice, but it is very different from home. The food is different, and so are the people. Norwegians are very nice, and they all speak English. In my country, we speak English at school. I am glad you speak English, too, because I don’t understand any Norwegian at all. At first I thought Norwegians were very quiet and shy, but they are friendly once you get to know them. Milla: How old are you? Sarah: I am twelve years old. How about you? Milla: We are both eleven. Chris: How is the game going? Sarah: We are in the lead. I scored a goal in the first half. The score is 2 - 0. Chris: Well done! Hope you’ll win the match. Milla: Thank you for speaking to us, Sarah. Good luck! Sarah: Thank you.
Activity Where is Sarah from? Why do the children speak English together? What does a journalist do?
quiet – stille shy – sjenert match – kamp half – halvdel (her: omgang) different – annerledes country – land get to know – bli kjent med

I am ten years old. I have long brown hair and blue eyes. My hair is very curly. I don’t like combing and brushing it, so it gets very tangled. It doesn’t matter. I just stick a flower in it and look good anyway. 12
I love sweets! After each game, I always have to have a lolly – and maybe some water. I am wearing pink leggings. Can you spot me in the picture? Stanley: I am the captain of our team. I suppose you can call me Boss. I have long hair and brown eyes. I wear glasses. I like bird watching. When I’m not playing football I watch birds. I always wear my green wellies in case I spot a rare bird and have to run out in the woods to take a photo of it. My position on the pitch is midfielder. I decide who gets the ball and who doesn’t. Sometimes the other team gets the ball. That makes me angry. I hate losing. My t eammates don’t mind. They play just for fun. Can you find me in the picture?

subject – fag remember – huske particular – spesiell incident – hendelse arrived at – ankom
There is something in the water, Mum! Anna is a student in 5th grade. Her teacher’s name is Miss Hansen. The subject for today’s lesson is English. Their task is to write about what they remember best from this year’s holiday. Anna remembers one particular incident from her holiday. What I am about to tell you, happened on our holiday in Croatia. We stayed on a sailing boat for two weeks. We sailed from Trogir and arrived at the island of Prvic’ Luka, where we stayed for three days. Since Mum and Dad thought it best to eat all our meals on land, we had breakfast every morning at one of the two restaurants located on the island. It was one of those mornings, after we had breakfast, it happened. Suddenly, my sister Josephine saw something in the water.
14
There, just beneath our table, a purse came f loating by. We hurried down to the beach and picked it up. At the same time on the other side of the island, a young woman very much in love and on her honeymoon woke up to find her purse gone. But we didn’t know that. We opened, or rather my mother opened, the purse. It was not a very fancy one; it had a rectangular shape and was striped in different colours. To my mother’s surprise it contained more than 300 E, a credit card, a very nice diamond ring and an identity card which confirmed that this person worked for the US Forces in Germany. And yes, the purse belonged to a woman. My mother, who is an energetic woman, decided it was time to act. She went and asked everybody in the restaurant if they knew of any Americans who were staying on the island. To her disappointment, nobody could help her. The woman, very much in love, on her honeymoon and staying at a small hotel near to the restaurant where we just had our breakfast, started to get desperate. How could she tell her beloved husband, that after their evening bath the night before she had lost her purse, which among other valuables contained her engagement ring? She decided to keep it a secret until she had made some enquiries.
beneath – nedenfor purse – pung honeymoon – bryllupsreise the US Forces – de amerikanske styrkene belonged to – tilhørte contained – inneholdt engagement ring – forlovelsesring valuables – verdisaker had made some enquiries – hadde forhørt seg litt FACTS
E – euro is the official currency of the European Union (EU).
15
meanwhile – i mellomtiden solve – løse decision – beslutning got through – kom gjennom (i telefonen) citizenship – statsborgerskap turned out – viste seg
Meanwhile, my mother decided to call the American Embassy in Norway to find out how to solve the situation. She stayed on the island while the rest of us returned to the boat to take a bath. That turned out to be a very wise decision. When my mum got through to the embassy in Oslo, she introduced herself giving her full name and citizenship. Then she explained what had happened and asked what they would advise her to do. She nearly finished the conversation with the embassy, when the owner of the restaurant came up to her with a young lady by his side. It turned out that the American woman, very much in love and desperate after she discovered she had lost her engagement ring and other valuables, decided to ask around about her lost purse. She ended up at the restaurant, where we had our breakfast and found the owner who informed her about our findings.
16
After introducing herself as Diana McNamara, she told my mother what had happened. She was clearly relieved. She wanted to know my mother’s name, which Mum gave her. Then my mother asked to see her bankcard, to check if she was the person she claimed to be. Both the person’s name and face corresponded with that on her credit card and identity card. My mother felt safe that she had got hold of the right person and delivered the purse back. When we got home from Croatia, a long thank-you letter came by post. The letter had been posted in Germany.
clearly – tydeligvis, åpenbart relieved – lettet claimed – her: hevdet corresponded – her: samsvarte med delivered back – leverte tilbake
Activity What language do they speak in Germany, Norway, Croatia and the USA? What are the colours of the British, American and Norwegian flags? What do you think was written in the thank-you letter?

Lizzie and her family are going on a weekend camping trip. They are going to a campsite in the countryside. They are going to sleep in a tent. The children are excited. It is their first time camping.
Dad: I can’t wait to go! Finally back to nature! If there’s anything you would like to know about camping, just ask me! I’ve been a scout for many years, so I consider myself an expert on the great outdoors. Mum: Yes, I remember, your mother told me you went to summer camp once. Didn’t your parents come and pick you up on the first night? Dad: Er, that was because I fell ill. Lizzie: Gran said mosquitos bit you! Dad: Killer mosquitos, I might add. They were vicious! David: Were you allergic?
24
Dad: Not really. I just couldn’t sleep. Mum: Relax, darling. You don’t have to impress us. Besides, there is no reason to be homesick now. We’ll all be there with you. David: Yeah, Dad. It’ll be great! You can show me how to fish. Dad: Fishing, yes, definitely. Let me tell you about the time I caught a fish that was this big… Lizzie: You can tell David about it!

A smelly ride home sizzling – steker important – viktig meadow – eng rucksack – ryggsekk bait – agn
Lizzie and her family woke up early Saturday morning. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and they enjoyed breathing the fresh country air. Bacon and eggs were sizzling in the pan and they had a big breakfast outside. They had planned to go fishing in a stream ten miles away from the campsite, so eating a good breakfast was important this morning. “What a wonderful day”, Mum said. Dad muttered something about fishing in the rain being a lot easier, but the children wanted to try anyway. David said that he hadn’t come all this way not to go fishing. Lizzie looked at the horses in the meadow and thought to herself that a riding lesson would be a lot more fun than a fishing trip. Mum packed a big rucksack with food for the day, water bottles, biscuits and a bag of sweets. Lizzie packed her torch, her first aid kit, a swimming costume and a towel. Dad packed the insecticide and some bait. David brought two fishing rods.
28
After three hours of walking, they all needed a break. The family had a nice picnic with all the food Mum brought in her rucksack, and everything was good so far.
growled – brummet flashes of lightning – lynglimt
When lunch was eaten, fishing was yet to be done. They set off again, but David was tired. “I still haven’t done any fishing. I’m bored and my feet are tired”, he growled. His growling was not the only growling they could hear. There was a big growl in the sky as well. Big, dark clouds were covering the blue sky and they could see flashes of lightning less than a mile away.
29
catch the next bus – ta neste buss shelter – her: buss-skur impatient – utålmodig
“Look! There’s a storm coming!” said Lizzie. “I know”, said Mum. ”Let’s go back!” Dad didn’t want to go back. David didn’t either, but no one had packed any rain clothes. They decided to walk to the nearest bus stop and catch the next bus back to the campsite.
When they got to the bus stop, they couldn’t find a timetable. There was only a sign that told them that it was a bus stop. There was not even any form of shelter or a bench to sit on. The children grew more impatient as the rain was pouring down. “Why don’t you ring the bus company and ask them if there is a bus back to the campsite on Saturday afternoon”, Mum suggested. Dad reached inside his pocket and found nothing. He had left his phone at home. 30
“I can’t believe it!” yelled David. “Nobody has c heated. We all followed Mum’s brilliant idea and left our phones at home!” “It doesn’t seem like such a good idea now, does it?” Lizzie said, shaking with cold. “I’m sorry, I really am!” said Mum. “Don’t be!” said Dad. “This is just like when we were children. We didn’t have any mobile phones! We managed well without them, didn’t we? Let’s see if we can get a lift back to the campsite.”
cheated – jukset hitchhiking – haiking convinced – overtalte give it a try – prøve passed them – kjørte forbi dem pulled over – kjørte inn til siden
Mum felt unsure about hitchhiking, but Dad convinced her to give it a try. There were four of them, so it felt safer. Besides, they were in a quiet place in the country and there was still daylight. Six cars passed them, and the children had given up hope when a big green van pulled over and stopped at the side of the road. The driver was a farmer with a big red moustache, a checked shirt, grey trousers and green wellies. He seemed nice enough, so when he opened the door, Mum told the children to get in. 31
strange smell – merkelig lukt stepped in – tråkket i looked pale – så blek ut passionate about – lidenskapelig opptatt av
As the driver drove on, Lizzie noticed a strange smell. It became stronger and stronger. “David, have you stepped in something?” she asked. David shook his head and kept looking out the window. He looked pale, but that was normal. He usually got carsick on country roads like this. Mum looked like she was about to say something, but she kept quiet.
Dad sat in the front seat talking to the driver. He was a pig farmer, and lived on a farm quite close to the campsite. He was very passionate about farming, and about pigs in particular.
32
“I’ve just come back from a friend’s place”, he said. “I sold him seven piglets. They had grown so much that two of them had to sit in the backseat. I hope they’ve behaved nicely and that they haven’t made a mess back there! Are you OK, children? Madam?” Lizzie and David didn’t say anything. They just stared at the man and couldn’t believe what they just heard. No wonder the car smelled bad. Mum had fallen asleep, so she didn’t answer.
piglets – grisunger have behaved – har oppført seg made a mess – griset til no wonder – ikke rart fall asleep – sovne mentioned – nevnte couldn’t stand – klarte ikke
When Lizzie and her family came back to the campsite, they headed straight for the camp showers. Freshly showered and with a change of clothes, they went to the campsite café and enjoyed a meal of fish and chips. Nobody mentioned a nything about fishing the next morning. Lizzie couldn’t stand the thought of bacon for weeks to come. Activity What would you take if you were going fishing? Why can hitchhiking sometimes be dangerous?

Tonje’s scrapbook:
MY FRIEND RAPPEN
Owning a horse To own a horse costs a lot of money. You have to buy the horse, feed it, insure it, pay the blacksmith for shoes, and pay the veterinarian. The horse needs a saddle, bridle and reins, and brushes. You also need equipment like a riding hat, boots, a safety-vest and a jacket. My parents have helped me, but now that I earn my own money, I pay for everything myself. I am very glad that my mother and father supported me. I love riding Rappen.
in the meadows – ute i enga fresh clover – frisk kløver
My horse Here we are, Rappen and me. We are out in the meadows on a warm summer day. Rappen loves to eat fresh clover. I prefer an ice cream or something cold to drink.
This is Rappen together with his mother. He is going to be mine one day, but I have to wait for another ten years.
41
valley – dal graze – beite released – sluppet battle – kjemper move to – flytte til stallion – hingst mare – merr (hunnhest) competing – konkurrere showjumping – hinderhopp dressage – dressur
Every summer the horses are released in the valley to graze. They stay there until early autumn. Both stallions and mares stay together. After nearly a year, new horses are born. Sometimes the horses battle to show who is the strongest. Here you can see Rappen in a “discussion” with another stallion.
At work When I bought Rappen, he had to move to Oslo from the Western part of Norway. After some time we (he and I) started competing together. Besides riding in the woods, we also did showjumping, marathon and dressage. We have both been working very hard. Before entering a competition, I am very nervous. Sometimes, I feel Rappen is too.

reptiles – krypdyr species – arter creep – krype closely – nærmere
What makes a reptile a reptile?
Holly and Oliver are going to give a presentation about reptiles for their class. They have been preparing for this for almost two weeks. Holly: Oliver and I are very interested in reptiles because they are amongst the world’s oldest species. Oliver: Yes, but also because they look so different from most animals. They can look very scary, strange and funny. Holly: First we wanted to find out what the word “reptile” means. Oliver: The word “reptile” comes from Latin and means “to creep”. Studying the reptiles closely, you can observe them staying close to the ground, on rocks or sand, and climbing trees. 44
Holly: If you want to get a closer look at some of them, you can visit the Aquarium in Bergen, the Zoo in Kristiansand or the Reptile Park in Oslo. If you go abroad, there are several parks where you can observe reptiles. Oliver: Reptiles are different, but they also have things in common. We wanted to find out more about them. Here are some of the facts we have found out. Holly: Mammals have skin and fur, but reptiles have scales. Their scales come in different shapes and sizes, all depending on what type of reptile they are and where they live. Here you can see how different they can look.
in common – felles scales – skjell habitat – leveområde predators – jegere prey – bytte cold-blooded – vekselvarme surroundings – omgivelser
Oliver: Many reptiles are predators that kill their prey in cold blood, but that has nothing to do with them being cold-blooded. They simply react to the temperature of their surroundings. Which means, if they get too warm they seek shade or water to cool off. And if they get too cold they seek warmer spots in the sun.
45
hatchlings – avkom (som er klekket ut) to provide – å ta vare på adult – voksen reputation – rykte fierce – vill dangerous – farlig reason – grunn, årsak venomous – giftig live on – leve av, spise crushing – kvele, klemme
Holly: Reptiles are born on land, from eggs, and the hatchlings have to provide for themselves from the beginning of life. This makes them different from mammals; adult mammals take care of and defend their young.
Oliver: Before we finish our presentation, we want to tell you that many reptiles have quite a reputation for being fierce and dangerous, but not all of them are dangerous or venomous. Turtles do not kill other animals and are not venomous. They live mostly on grass, leaves and bushes. This anaconda does not kill its prey with poison, but by crushing it. It can kill animals much bigger than itself. 46
Holly: After eating, it can wait weeks before it hunts again. Oliver: Yes, what if you ate only once a week? Holly: Perhaps we all should try to eat a whole lamb on Sunday and wait a week before we have another meal. Oliver: Or, we could eat all the bread we eat for breakfast and lunch in one month in just one day, and then wait a month before eating again? Holly: Why is everybody shaking their heads, Oliver? Oliver: I don’t know. Any questions?
once a week – en gang i uka in one month – i løpet av en måned in one day – i løpet av en dag
Activity Find out how many different species of reptiles there are. Which one do you like in particular? You can use the internet to search for information and photos.

Let’s win that game!” But our coach always says, “Eat a good breakfast before you leave.” I find my drink bottle. I find my boots and my lucky scarf.
52
Then I remember our coach always says, “Have you got your shin pads?” It’s time to go. “Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s win that game!” At the field the referee tosses a coin. Heads! It’s ours! We’re all warmed up and ready to go. The referee blows his whistle … KICK-OFF!

I am in London for my autumn holiday. This morning, we went to Buckingham Palace to see the Changing of the Guard. There were so many people there that we did not get to see much. They played a lot of music. It was cool to listen to, and I enjoyed it.
When the parade was finished, we ate typical British food for lunch: mashed potatoes with sausages and gravy. Then we went to Madame Tussauds. It is a whole museum of wax figures. I saw Usain Bolt, Michael Jackson, James Bond and many more. After Tussauds, we went to a few shops. One of them was the M&M shop, where we bought chocolate.

Marlon’s travel blog We ate some fish and chips before we went to the theatre to see Matilda. I was very excited, so we went early. I was looking forward to seeing how the actors had trained for the musical. I was also looking forward to seeing how many people were going to be there. When I entered the stalls, I saw the stage was all set with an amazing wall of bookshelves. The best thing about the musical was that the music fitted the actions on the stage. The actors were really good at singing and dancing. To sing and act at the same time is not easy. The dialogue was not too difficult to understand, but sometimes they talked a bit too fast for me.

“To fly your broomstick, take one cat then place on head your witch’s hat. Put cat on stick towards the end, jump on, sit place on straight; head you shouldn’t bend.” Thus instructed Mistress Dale to Arabella Nightingale who wore an L-plate painted red, a brand-new hat upon her head, and carried, with a muffled groan, a cat, who weighed at least two stone. The broomstick quivered – took off fast. The treetops swayed as they zoomed past. Then, flying high above the crowd, they somersaulted through a cloud. The trainee witch was heard to wail,
too much weight – altfor tungt girth – stor størrelse spiralled – gikk i spiral, snurret rundt parachute – fallskjerm report – rapporter “Too much weight upon the tail.” The cat with its enormous girth, fell off and spiralled down to earth. But Arabella cast a spell, and in a second, all was well. The watching witches yelled, “How cute, he’s got a magic parachute.” Then Arabella landed – SPLAT – in time to catch her floating cat. The witch instructress muttered, “Phew!! Report next for lesson two.” Marian Swinger Activity Do you know any books that are about witches? Name them.

Me and my brother saying – utsagn, uttrykk dozing off – døser, sovner never let me see you doing that again – ikke la meg se deg gjøre det en gang til poking his finger – peker med fingeren
74
Me and my brother we sit up in bed Doing my dad’s sayings I go to bed first and I’m just dozing off and I hear a funny voice going: “Never let me see you doing that again,” and it’s my brother poking his finger out just like my dad going: “Never let me see you doing that again,” And so I join in and we’re both going: “Never let me see you doing that again.” So what happens next time I get into trouble and my dad’s telling me off? He’s going: “Never let me see you doing that again.” So I’m looking up at my dad going, “Sorry, Dad, Sorry” and I suddenly catch sight of my brother’s big, red face poking out from behind my dad.
And while my dad is poking me with his finger in time with the words: “Never let me see you doing that again.” there’s my brother doing just the same behind my dad’s back just where I can see him and he’s saying the words as well with his mouth without making a sound. So I start laughing and so my dad says, “AND IT’S NO LAUGHING MATTER.” Of course my brother knows that one as well and he’s going with his mouth: “And it’s no laughing matter.” But my dad’s not stupid. He knows something’s going on. So he looks round and there’s my brother with his finger poking out just like my dad and I’m standing there laughing. Oh no then we get into REALLY BIG TROUBLE.
no laughing matter – ikke noe å le av of course – selvfølgelig is going on – foregår

The Trouble with Snowmen trouble – problem no sooner made – ikke før laget disappear – forsvinner build to last – bygd for å vare gone – borte unmarked – umerket gross – grov, udelikat misshapen – vanskapt
‘The trouble with snowmen,’ Said my father one year ‘They are no sooner made than they just disappear. I’ll build you a snowman And I’ll build it to last Add some sand and cement And then have it cast. And so every winter,’ He went on to explain ‘You shall have a snowman Be it sunshine or rain.’ And that snowman still stands Though my father is gone Out there in the garden Like an unmarked gravestone. Staring up at the house Gross and misshapen As if waiting for something Bad to happen.

For as the years pass And I grow older When summers seem short And winters colder The snowmen I envy As I watch children play Are the ones that are made And then fade away.

Practise reading. You have to read it fluently. Make sure you pronounce all the words correctly. Do not read it too fast. You know the words to your poem, but your class does not. Look at your audience. That makes it easier for them to hear you. It is a good idea to memorize your poem. Try different voices when you practise. If it is a scary poem – use a scary voice! If it is a funny poem – use a funny voice. You can shout if you want to. Make sure the audience hears you. Recite the poem with a friend if you want to. You can read some lines each. You can use moves if you want, or you can act out the poem. Ask a friend, your teacher or your parents for help if you need it.
I see my date. My dad Will be mad, He will kill My dear Will.
