B Bev Johnston’s Letter One day Marcus got a letter from his mother’s second cousin in Minnesota. second cousin syssling (föräldrarna är kusiner) be in touch with vara i kontakt med excited här väldigt glad application ansökan serve här ha, betjäna grade årskurs athletics field idrottsplan offer erbjuda

Dear Marcus, My husband and I are both looking forward to seeing you here in Lindström, Minnesota. I have been in touch with Chisago Lakes High School and they seem very excited about getting a Swedish exchange student for a year. I will help you with the application so that

5

everything is ready by the time you get here.

This high school serves more than 1,100 students in grades 9-12. There are athletics fields, tennis courts, a swimming pool, five computer labs, fitness center and an ice arena. It offers 24 athletic activities and 20 co-curricular activities. What else can you ask for?

10

Historically, Minnesota is the ‘Swede state’. You will also notice the influence of Norwegians, Finns and Danes when you travel around.

Don’t be surprised if you find places like Upsala, Scandia and Karlstad here. This is a second Scandinavia. We have a population of about five million in the state and Minneapolis and St Paul are our two major

15

cities. We have been an American state since 1858. Canada is north of Minnesota and to the east you have the Great Lakes. Enough of Geo­graphy and History now.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that my husband, Bill, runs an electric firm.

His company helped to install the electricity in The Mall of America

20

in Bloomington, not far from here. It is the largest shopping center in the USA. Let’s keep in touch and you bet that you will be well looked after when you are here. Our neighbors have got kids your age and they are dying to see you too.

25

I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.

Best wishes, Bev

“Just a minute, honey!”

“I’ve just got the biggest shock of my life!”

“Oh, my God! Where did you get burned?”

“Come on, no electric shock. I just read that my two favourite actors are getting divorced.” electric shock elektrisk stöt actor skådespelare
