20
00:01:28.250 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 3>journey awaits. It was a hot summer day when Linnea

21
00:01:31.219 --> 00:01:36.469
<v Speaker 3>walked through the schoolyard. The sun shone brightly and the

22
00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:37.230
<v Speaker 3>number of.

23
00:01:43.670 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 4>Days until school started decreased quickly. Linnea was a good.

24
00:01:49.459 --> 00:01:49.900
<v Speaker 5>Student.

25
00:01:57.870 --> 00:02:02.769
<v Speaker 4>Alltid noggrann med sina studier. Men nu hade hon ett problem.

26
00:02:03.189 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 4>Hon behövde en ny ryggsäck. Jag vill ha en ryggsäck

27
00:02:07.530 --> 00:02:11.060
<v Speaker 4>som verkligen är jag, sa Linnea till sin syster Astrid

28
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 4>medan de lunchade.

29
00:02:13.740 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 5>Ja, men det borde.

30
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.939
<v Speaker 4>Också vara praktiskt, svarade Astrid klokt. Du bär alltid så

31
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:26.449
<v Speaker 4>många böcker. Just då dök Johan upp, alltid avslappnad och

32
00:02:26.509 --> 00:02:27.349
<v Speaker 4>full av idéer.

33
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.310
<v Speaker 2>Hej, tjejer!

34
00:02:31.789 --> 00:02:36.689
<v Speaker 5>Vad snackar ni om? Ryggsäckar, suckade Linnea.

35
00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:40.710
<v Speaker 4>Jag vill ha en som passar min stil, men som

36
00:02:40.770 --> 00:02:45.949
<v Speaker 4>också är praktisk. Det fixar vi, sa Johan med ett leende.

37
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 4>Dagen efter åkte de alla tre till köpcentret.

38
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.580
<v Speaker 5>Det var fullt av folk som också var ute efter skolsaker.

39
00:02:57.099 --> 00:03:01.620
<v Speaker 4>Lite överväldigad gick Linnea genom hyllorna tills hon hittade en trendig,

40
00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:07.810
<v Speaker 4>dyr ryggsäck. Den såg fantastisk ut, men hade knappt plats

41
00:03:07.909 --> 00:03:12.849
<v Speaker 4>för mer än några få böcker. Johan klappade henne på axeln.

42
00:03:14.370 --> 00:03:19.289
<v Speaker 4>Den är snygg, men vad hände med böckerna? Jag vet inte,

43
00:03:19.629 --> 00:03:25.590
<v Speaker 4>svarade Linnea tveksamt. Hon funderade länge medan de fortsatte att

44
00:03:25.650 --> 00:03:32.580
<v Speaker 4>titta bland de andra ryggsäckarna. Plötsligt såg Johan något. Vad

45
00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:36.580
<v Speaker 4>sägs om den här? De gick fram till en hylla

46
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:42.490
<v Speaker 4>där en ensam ryggsäck hängde. Den var perfekt, både stilren

47
00:03:42.689 --> 00:03:47.250
<v Speaker 4>och med flera fack för Linneas alla behov. Det fanns

48
00:03:47.349 --> 00:03:54.030
<v Speaker 4>bara en kvar. Den är perfekt. utbrast Linnea med glädje.

49
00:03:55.490 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 4>Hon kollade prislappen och låg ännu bredare. Den var inom budgeten.

50
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.180
<v Speaker 4>Linnea köpte ryggsäcken och kände sig nöjd. Hon hade lärt

51
00:04:08.219 --> 00:04:12.909
<v Speaker 4>sig att det verkligen var möjligt att kombinera stil och funktionalitet.

52
00:04:14.370 --> 00:04:17.769
<v Speaker 4>Tack vare Johan och Astrid hade hon hittat det bästa

53
00:04:17.810 --> 00:04:22.500
<v Speaker 4>av två världar. På vägen hem tänkte Linnea på hur

54
00:04:22.540 --> 00:04:27.819
<v Speaker 4>mycket hon uppskattade sina vänner och deras råd. Hon kände

55
00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 4>sig redo för det nya skolåret, väl förberedd med en

56
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 4>ryggsäck som verkligen var hon.

57
00:04:34.670 --> 00:04:37.810
<v Speaker 2>Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you

58
00:04:37.850 --> 00:04:38.470
<v Speaker 2>may have missed.

59
00:04:39.149 --> 00:04:44.569
<v Speaker 4>Det var en het sommardag när Linnea promenerade genom skolgården.

60
00:04:46.569 --> 00:04:48.949
<v Speaker 2>It was a hot summer day when Linnea walked across

61
00:04:48.990 --> 00:04:49.589
<v Speaker 2>the schoolyard.

62
00:04:50.870 --> 00:04:57.149
<v Speaker 4>Solen sken starkt och antalet dagar till skolstart minskade snabbt.

63
00:04:59.149 --> 00:05:01.899
<v Speaker 2>The sun shone brightly, and the number of days until

64
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.019
<v Speaker 2>school started again was quickly decreasing.

65
00:05:05.139 --> 00:05:10.100
<v Speaker 4>Linnea var en duktig elev, alltid noggrann med sina studier.

66
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.110
<v Speaker 2>Linnea was a good student, always diligent with her studies.

67
00:05:16.389 --> 00:05:21.069
<v Speaker 4>Men nu hade hon ett problem. Hon behövde en ny ryggsäck.

68
00:05:22.990 --> 00:05:25.769
<v Speaker 2>But now she had a problem. She needed a new backpack.

69
00:05:26.889 --> 00:05:30.730
<v Speaker 4>Jag vill ha en ryggsäck som verkligen är jag, sa

70
00:05:30.750 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 4>Linnea till sin syster Astrid medan de lunchade.

71
00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 2>I want a backpack that really represents me, said Linnea

72
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.379
<v Speaker 2>to her sister Astrid while they had lunch.

73
00:05:42.579 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 4>Ja, men det borde också vara praktiskt, svarade Astrid klokt.

74
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but it should also be practical, replied Astrid wisely.

75
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.420
<v Speaker 5>Du bär alltid så många böcker.

76
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:00.730
<v Speaker 2>You always carry so many books.

77
00:06:01.990 --> 00:06:07.430
<v Speaker 4>Just då dök Johan upp, alltid avslappnad och full av idéer.

78
00:06:09.310 --> 00:06:12.750
<v Speaker 2>Just then, Johan showed up, always relaxed and full of ideas.

79
00:06:13.970 --> 00:06:15.790
<v Speaker 5>Hej, tjejer!

80
00:06:15.810 --> 00:06:18.189
<v Speaker 3>Hi, girls!

81
00:06:19.389 --> 00:06:20.750
<v Speaker 5>Vad snackar ni om?

82
00:06:22.689 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 2>What are you talking about?

83
00:06:24.779 --> 00:06:27.779
<v Speaker 5>Ryggsäckar, suckade Linnea.

84
00:06:29.620 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Backpacks, sighed Linnea.

85
00:06:31.980 --> 00:06:35.360
<v Speaker 4>Jag vill ha en som passar min stil, men som

86
00:06:35.459 --> 00:06:36.779
<v Speaker 4>också är praktisk.

87
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:41.370
<v Speaker 2>I want one that fits my style, but is also practical.

88
00:06:42.490 --> 00:06:45.709
<v Speaker 5>Det fixar vi, sa Johan med ett leende.

89
00:06:47.889 --> 00:06:50.149
<v Speaker 2>We'll sort it out, said Johan with a smile.

90
00:06:51.250 --> 00:06:55.310
<v Speaker 4>Dagen efter åkte de alla tre till köpcentret.

91
00:06:57.310 --> 00:06:59.709
<v Speaker 2>The next day, all three of them went to the mall.

92
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.500
<v Speaker 4>Det var fullt av folk som också var ute efter skolsaker.

93
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.120
<v Speaker 2>It was full of people also out looking for school supplies.

94
00:07:11.339 --> 00:07:17.730
<v Speaker 4>Lite överväldigad gick Linnea genom hyllorna tills hon hittade en trendig.

95
00:07:20.889 --> 00:07:23.879
<v Speaker 2>A little overwhelmed, Linnea walked through the aisles until she

96
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:25.959
<v Speaker 2>found a trendy, expensive backpack.

97
00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:32.120
<v Speaker 4>It looked fantastic, but barely had space for more than

98
00:07:32.139 --> 00:07:47.540
<v Speaker 4>a few books. Johan patted her on the shoulder. Den

99
00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 4>är snygg, men vad hände med böckerna?

100
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.439
<v Speaker 2>It looks nice, but what happened to the books?

101
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.439
<v Speaker 4>Jag vet inte, svarade Linnea tveksamt.

102
00:08:01.500 --> 00:08:03.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Linnea answered hesitantly.

103
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:09.769
<v Speaker 4>Hon funderade länge medan de fortsatte att titta bland de

104
00:08:09.949 --> 00:08:11.290
<v Speaker 4>andra ryggsäckarna.

105
00:08:13.209 --> 00:08:15.449
<v Speaker 2>She thought for a long time as they continued to

106
00:08:15.490 --> 00:08:16.790
<v Speaker 2>look among the other backpacks.

107
00:08:17.990 --> 00:08:20.230
<v Speaker 5>Plötsligt såg Johan något.

108
00:08:22.250 --> 00:08:23.610
<v Speaker 2>Suddenly Johan saw something.

109
00:08:24.730 --> 00:08:26.189
<v Speaker 5>Vad sägs om den här?

110
00:08:28.149 --> 00:08:28.910
<v Speaker 2>How about this one?

111
00:08:30.009 --> 00:08:34.509
<v Speaker 4>De gick fram till en hylla där en ensam ryggsäck hängde.

112
00:08:36.389 --> 00:08:38.929
<v Speaker 2>They walked over to a shelf where a lone backpack hung.

113
00:08:40.059 --> 00:08:45.220
<v Speaker 4>Den var perfekt, både stilren och med flera fack för

114
00:08:45.259 --> 00:08:46.960
<v Speaker 4>Linneas alla behov.

115
00:08:48.970 --> 00:08:52.210
<v Speaker 2>It was perfect, both sleek and with several compartments for

116
00:08:52.250 --> 00:08:53.250
<v Speaker 2>Linnea's every need.

117
00:08:54.370 --> 00:08:56.210
<v Speaker 5>Det fanns bara en kvar.

118
00:08:58.090 --> 00:08:59.169
<v Speaker 2>There was only one left.

119
00:09:00.389 --> 00:09:01.620
<v Speaker 5>Den är perfekt.

120
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:04.259
<v Speaker 2>It's perfect.

121
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.679
<v Speaker 5>Utbrast Linnea med glädje.

122
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:10.980
<v Speaker 2>Exclaimed Linnea with joy.

123
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.049
<v Speaker 4>Hon kollade prislappen och låg ännu bredare.

124
00:09:18.029 --> 00:09:20.269
<v Speaker 2>She checked the price tag and smiled even wider.

125
00:09:21.429 --> 00:09:23.370
<v Speaker 5>Den var inom budgeten.

126
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:26.279
<v Speaker 2>It was within the budget.

127
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 4>Linnea köpte ryggsäcken och kände sig nöjd.

128
00:09:33.100 --> 00:09:35.299
<v Speaker 2>Linnea bought the backpack and felt satisfied.

129
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:40.370
<v Speaker 4>Hon hade lärt sig att det verkligen var möjligt att

130
00:09:40.470 --> 00:09:43.429
<v Speaker 4>kombinera stil och funktionalitet.

131
00:09:45.529 --> 00:09:47.759
<v Speaker 2>She had learned that it really was possible to combine

132
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:49.159
<v Speaker 2>style and functionality.

133
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.720
<v Speaker 4>Thanks to Johan and Astrid, she had found the best.

134
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:55.690
<v Speaker 5>Of both worlds.

135
00:10:00.090 --> 00:10:01.230
<v Speaker 2>The best of both worlds.

136
00:10:02.429 --> 00:10:07.120
<v Speaker 4>På vägen hem tänkte Linnea på hur mycket hon uppskattade

137
00:10:07.179 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 4>sina vänner och deras råd.

138
00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:14.080
<v Speaker 2>On the way home, Linnea thought about how much she

139
00:10:14.139 --> 00:10:16.139
<v Speaker 2>appreciated her friends and their advice.

140
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:22.669
<v Speaker 4>Hon kände sig redo för det nya skolåret, väl förberedd

141
00:10:22.730 --> 00:10:25.490
<v Speaker 4>med en ryggsäck som verkligen var hon.

142
00:10:27.509 --> 00:10:30.429
<v Speaker 2>She felt ready for the new school year, well prepared

143
00:10:30.470 --> 00:10:40.519
<v Speaker 2>with a backpack that truly represented her. Today's vocabulary words

144
00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:44.330
<v Speaker 2>are coming up right after this commercial break. Here are

145
00:10:44.370 --> 00:10:47.950
<v Speaker 2>today's vocabulary words, first in Swedish, then in English.

146
