Your job today is to write a news story using 100-150 words. You are asked to write about something that you did during the summer vacation. The information should be about one of your experiences but you will write it like a news story. Publish your text on the blog so your readers are your fellow students in the class.
A news story is structured like an upside-down pyramid, with the most important information first. Think of a headline that evokes interest! The lead is the first paragraph. It contains most of the story’s vital information, but must also keep the reader’s interest so that he or she wants to go on reading. The next part is the body gives details about the five W’s and the H (see below). You can organize things chronologically, or in order of importance. Please include the following:
Tell about an incident, a meeting or an experience
Answer these six questions:
• Who was involved
• What happened?
• When did it happen?
• Where did it happen?
• Why did it happen?
• How did it happen?
Report on other people’s opinions without taking sides or making judgements.
Have an interest-catching headline.
”I have never experienced something like this before”
SvaraRaderaIt was just before summer and Mattias parents had something to tell him and his sister, they had booked a trip to the Croatian village Opatija. They all got very excited and were looking forward to the trip, which would be in two weeks.
Then the big day came and they were on their way to Croatia, it took one day to arrive. But it was worth it, everything was amazing. The ocean was crystal clear, the resturants was very cozy and everything was just perfekt. They stayed there for one week and it was a fabulous week and a memory to keep for their hole life.
The way home was like an eternity, but when they finally were home it was nice to be home to Sweden. And sweden is not so bad that either.
Teenagers jumping and screaming
SvaraRaderaLast night thousands of people wich most were teenagers gatherd at Stortorget in Malmö. Everybody was jumping and digging the rythm of the music. There was two very popular bands from Sweden who was playing in the late evening. Those two bands were Maskinen and Familjen.
I think that there were over 4000 people and almost everyone knew the lyrics and singes along. The atmosephere was incredable. These are just two of many great artists who have played at the famous malmöfestival.
What did i thought about the concert? I think it was one of the coolest concerts I’ve been on. The stage preformace was very well preformed, they were crazy. For a while I believed that the singers och the crowd had taken extacy. These are two bands wich I’ll keep listen to.

After beeing at Lomma all day long Eldar and his friends decided to return back home but at the train something unbelievable happend to them, they met one of the best footballplayers in the world. They met Michael Essien who plays in Chelsea, one of the gratest teams in the world.
It was a coincidence that Eldar saw his big idol. They all sat by the toilets and all of suddenly a man that looks just like Michael gets out of the first class and in to the toilet. Everyone just froze and looked at eachother but noone could belive their eyes, because I meen how big is the chance that Michael Essien is on a train in a small town like Eslöv ?

The bus had not show up yet so Simon took it easy but he should go in to the hotel rum and check if he had missing anything but he didn’t. Simon and his parents went on the bus and after 1 km Simon noticed that his computer was on the hotel rum so they had to jump of the bus and run to the hotel rum. Take the computer then run to a cab and tell him to drive to a hotel there the bus was waiting for us. Simon is a lucky man becouse he find his computer and managed to the airport.
A week without parents!
SvaraRaderaThis summer I got to know how it felt to live without parents for about a week. I think it’s something that every student wants to know. The feeling that you have your own place to take care of, buy your own food, wake up early to take the dog for a walk and even to pick up the news.
It was for five weeks ago that my friend’s family went to their homeland Island to relax and be together that me and my friend ElinSoley, 16, got the big task – to take care of a house, seven cats and one dog. It felt amazing to live a week without parents because we could do exactly what we wanted to do, play as loud music we wanted and say the best quote you can say when you're a teenager “we do it tomorrow instead”

The lack of jobs forced her to repaint the sauna!
SvaraRaderaAt Thursday 22th July, Alessandra Ricci modernized the old green sauna, that wasn’t really green anymore, and made it beautiful. It has not been painted since the 80´s!
The sauna is associated to her family’s summer villa in Finland and they travel there every summer since Alessandra was a baby. She tells us that none wanted to do anything about the old color and they just complained over it. So when Alessandra couldn’t get any other jobs for the summer she decided to take it in her own hands. It took whole two days for her but now it looks like a splendid new house and Alessandra is really proud of her hard work.

Seize the day!
SvaraRaderaTwo girls were alone home for a week and then they could do whatever they wanted and felt like doing. They enyojed their time and what was the best thing of the whole week was when they went to Helsingborg to see Hoffmaestro, their all time favourite band.
It was on the 29th of July that Elin Sóley Ólafsdóttir , 16, and Nathalie Nilsson ,17, took the train from Eslov to Helsinborg so they could see Hoffmaestro play. They had waited for that moment all day, to stand infront of the scene in a crowd of pepole, sreaming and jumping up and down of excitement. They didn’t know anyone else but still they felt like they had known many of the other in the crowd for a very long time, just beacuse of the fact that they had one thing incommon. At 22.30 Hoffmaestro came running out on the stage and started of with a song that almost everyone knew, seize the day. And that was exactly what Elin and Nathalie did the rest of their week, they were free!

SvaraRaderaBarcelona a living city
SvaraRaderaThis summer you traveled to Barcelona? Yes I did and it was amassing. Can you please tell me shortly about the trip. Yes we traveled to Barcelona the 24 of Julie. Me and my friends traveled by flight and it went fine. We went to allot museums and other places as you always visit. The funniest to visit was camp nue. It was nice and calm and a very beautiful city.
But by night the city transformed and the centre became a huge crowded place for people to party. It was amassing. It was the funniest thing I ever dune in my life.
Disturbing teens in the middle of the night.
SvaraRaderaIt was the night between 22 and 23 August when four teens decided go down to the beach for swimming in the sea. It was about 4 am at the morning when they arrived and started to make a lot of noises at the bridge. The four teenagers discovered by passing people and it was regarding the beachhandball in Åhus. The teens were seventeen and was camping at the sports ground about one kilometer from the beach. They perceived as very loud and they were send back to the camp. The neighbors became very disturbed by the kids and they reported the news to the newspaper.
Don’t stop thinking
SvaraRaderaThe best time in many youths life is when they graduate. The big thing is to run out of school and later on have the biggest party ever to celebrate! This is also a very dangerous time, many youths get very drunk and can’t even stand on their own legs.
I have interwiev one girl of 100youths that been trough this. She said: the evening started good, we were all exited to go to our friends’ graduation party in Eslöv. Everything was calm with the alcohol until I decided to have a shot contest with the guys who can drink much more than me. It all ends with me puke on the table and could hardley stand on my own legs and my dad came to get me. I don’t remember anything from 12p.m! I want to take back all that happened that night, but I can’t what is done is done…
This is a huge problem among the youth in the age of 14-19 that everybody must help to prevent, when you start drinking you stop thinking, said a police officer from Eslöv.
Carpe Diem
SvaraRaderaThe 3th Jule a day like any other at least I thought it was. The sun was shining all over the place and I went to be with my friends down town. One of them brought the best news that he had a plan for us, that day took an interesting turn.
The plan was to go by bike to his cottage out in the woods next to Bosarpssjön. And with a smile on our faces we all decided to go as soon as possible. I almost ran home to be ready to go! I’d pack my bag with two thing, bathing clothes and marshmallows it was all I needed.
The ride to the cottage it felt like flying, the feeling you have with the ones you love the most is magic. Just like the whole evening. Marshmallow, bathing, a lot of laugh, you name it I had the time of my life!

Nice evening!
SvaraRaderaIt was the night 7th july when two teens and they are also a couple would go out and take a drink and see a footboll game together. It was about seven pm at the night when they decided to go out and have a cozy evening togheter. The couple have ten month togheter just this day. They walked to a small cozy bar that also broadcasted the game. That was the final match between Holland and Germany. The girl in the couple cheering at germany and the guy at Holland. They look at the match and drink a drink. It was 0 - 0 when the time was out so there was overtime and Hollan did a goal and won the final. The boy and the girl had a nice evening togheter and they are still togheter.
Italy, so much more than a country.
SvaraRaderaHave you do something you never will forget?
If not, you have missed a piece of why you should live.
This summer was one of the best in Frida’s life. She and one of her best friend were traveling by car to Italy. After 250mil, 18 hours, they came to the most beautiful place I ever been. The place was called Riva Del Sole, which is located in Italy. It was something different with this place.
They were living in a pine forest with singing birds, playing crickets and a fragrance of the ocean. She told me that she never had felt so alive, sitting on the balcony with closed eyes and a drink in her hand.
If you also want to feel like Frida, pack your bag, start the car and you will have a memory you never forget.
Somalian Cup
SvaraRaderaIt was the 9th of July 2010, the soccer field was crammed with people from all around the world the unreal would just gonna happen, it was opening of the first Somalian soccer cup in Stockholm. Everyone who was there was very excited about it and felt that this would be a new start in Somalian soccer. The first opening match was between Australia and Denmark and it ended 2 – 1 to Australia. It was an incredible match and you could feel the good vibe from the fans. Now they showed the people who doubted that it really worked.

A onetime experience
SvaraRaderaThe atmosphere was so nice. It was everything that made this my best experience of the summer; the loud music from the big speakers, people laughing and cheering and of course the excited game.
This is just some of the words that a girl used when she was describing her night, or should I say her amazing night as she told me. They were some friends who went camping in Åhus during the bechandballweek. The team EIK from Eslöv came to the finale and was going to play. Their opponents were Sävehof. It was obvious that they would cheer on EIK since she and her friends are from Eslöv. The DJ started to play music and the both teams ran into the handball plan, she remember the first song very well, a remix from “Pirates of the Caribbean”. She asked me if I have heard it and I said no. The answer back was simply “Hear it!” She said and laughed. Eslöv didn’t won but they all were still happy and filled with lots of energy. They ran as fast as they could to the team and began to sing “All of us that love the silver claps now”.
I guess that it was a onetime experience for them, no, I’m sure.

Girls just wanna have fun
SvaraRaderaIt was the 25th of June, Mid summer.
Erika and Nathalie had planned the whole day very exactly. But at that day if somebody would say "It never goes as you planned" will really be the truth in this case.
The two girls, both 17 years old start their day with quite an exercise. They took their bike and started the long ride through Eslöv, out to the country to fix everything for the day. When they returned to their house later, they had probably been riding their bikes in several hours and biked around 3 miles. The first party for the two girls lasted just a few hours and with the mood on top they decided to bike to Kungshult for another party, some mile away from where they were. They biked through the dark forrest, and after some hour at the other party, the both girls separated and they continued to party rest of the night.
This story is a typical example that if two teenage girls decide to do something, they will. And if teenage girls party, everything can happened.

Today we have a interview with a man that have spent his summer in the very small town höör.
SvaraRaderaWe have asked him some questions how it was.
- Hallo Martin! What have you done all summer?
- Not so much actually. Just played some football with friends and things like that.
- is höör a big town?
- No, it not so big but it happens something.
-Like what?
- Some days you go to a party or something ells, you know there is always someone that want to do something. So you never get bored.
- How is the “beach” in höör? Or don’t you have one?
- Actually we have one. It´s not a real beach but there is sand and a bridge and you can bathe there.
- tanks so much!
- No problems!

A waffle with extra cream, thanks.
SvaraRaderaLo and behold, the day when the sun was highest in the sky and the heat was unbearable, a girl name Emma Einarsson was expected to start her new summer work. She was going to work on a little café called “Våfflan” over three weeks. The young worker had to do everything from cleaning to making waffles for the customers.
Her boss was not so generous and the worker wasn’t even allowed to take one ice cream for free. Can you believe it? This was a great tragedy for the seven teenagers who were working there. All the workers started to take ice cream all the time behind the back of their boss.
During the three weeks that they worked at the little café in the lovely park “Trollsjön”, they become more and more depended of sugar in all its forms.
This is one of many dangers that can happen to a child when we let them work in the summer, when they really should stay home and sleep.

From a small town to a big city!
SvaraRaderaA family from Sweden went from the small town Eslöv to visit the second largest city in Sweden, Göteborg. They lived at Hotel over the weekend and the planes where to travel by bus and tram wherever they wanted to go. But they became confused. Wich bus and wich tram should they take? And from where? They thought there were a thousand choices. In a small town like Eslöv there is perhaps two or three buses so a easy thing like travel by bus can suddenly be difficult if you just change city. The family commented that the event made the normally boring busrides a lot funnier when you run like a dizzy hen just to get on the right bus.
A typical example of the difference between smalltown people ans urban people. How hard can a busride be?
FERMENTED BALTIC HERRING
SvaraRaderaAfter traveling seven hour in a car they finally arrived in the small town called Bredbyn. They were two families who decided to go on a vacation in nothern Sweden. They came to Bredbyn late in the evening. Without any food in their stomachs they would eat anything they could see. One of the families knew an old couple, who would love to offer a nice dinner, but to earn that the families must eat, or at least taste fermented baltic herring. They had bread, butter, mashed potatoes, sour cream and fermented baltic herring.
”The taste were undescribable disgusting” says one of the daughters.
Their last commentar were that they will never eat fermented baltic herring even if they had traveled all long time.

I´m going to die...
SvaraRaderaThat was Kristoffer´s father, Håkan when he sat on the plane to Cypern. The family has planed a vacation to Cypern for a long time and everyone was exited, except Håkan. Ever since he did the military, and flew helicopter, he has always been scared of flying.
When the family came to Cypern, he did calm down and they had their best vacation ever.
Sun, bath, tennis and gym was the most popular things for Kristoffer and his brother Tobias. Their parent´s favourite thing was "the all inclusive benefit" the family had. They ate as never before.
The family stayed in Cypern for one week, and everyone thought it was the best holiday ever.
And the father did survive.
