Have you ever wondered about the founder of Internationella Engelska Skolan? Where is she from? How did she get the idea for IES? What was it like to start a school? The Hässelby Post was invited to the IES Head Office in Täby to get answers to all of your questions about Barbara Bergström, the founder and co-owner of Internationella Engelska Skolan. Ms. Barbara Bergström moved to Swe-den in 1968. Before coming to Sweden, she lived in Florida—she still has houses in Flori-

Unknown to most of the senior school students, we had a famous American author come and visit our school: Michael Dahl. Now, who is Mr. Dahl? Well, he’s a graphic novelist who wri-tes mystery, crime and scary stories, and on top of that he has written over 100 children’s books! He lives in Minnesota, USA and was inspired by Agatha Christie’s ‘And then There Were None’. Agatha Christie is the Queen of Crime, since she is one of the best mystery and crime authors the world has to offer. That’s why Michael Dahl loves dead bodies, ghosts and anything spooky. Fun fact: Michael Dahl lives in a haun-ted house! At least, that’s what the previous owners told him. The house is supposedly to be haunted by a woman named Helen who presently resides in the basement, which is now the former coal room. Rumor has it that

she was murdered in that room and is seeking vengeance! Mr. Dahl has even seen the silhou-ette of a person walk down the upstairs hallway and into a vacant bedroom... while he was alone in the house, for that

matter! He claims that it was not his first en-counter with the ghost either. Two of Dahl’s most famous series are ‘The Library of Doom’ and ‘Troll Hunters’. If you are interested, come over to the school lib-rary and check out the first few issues of ‘Troll Hunters’!

da and in western New York. In Sweden she met her husband, Hans Bergström, the former Editor in Chief of Dagens Nyheter. Ms. Bergström has been a teacher for many years. In 1992, the Swedish government came up with a voucher system for education. The voucher system allows parents and stu-dents to choose which school they want to attend. At that time, Ms. Bergström was working at an international school. She saw that there was a big gap between the differ-ent classes in the community, and she wanted to make a change. “I took a chance and never looked back!” she said.

Hi, I’m thirteen years

old and I really want a boy-

friend. All my friends have

had one that they really

loved. I have never had a real

relationship with someone. Is

it wrong to be thirteen and

never been in a relationship? I

talk to a lot of guys but it will

never be something more

than a friendship and I have

been rejected. My friends are

asking why I don’t have a

boyfriend and I’m starting to

feel stressed about it. What

should I do? -Anonymous

Hi Anonymous!

We both think that

you are still very young and

you should not feel the pres-

sure of having a boyfriend.

We have been in that situa-

tion so we really know what

you are talking about and

how you feel.

Don’t stress with love,

believe us it doesn’t help, the

only thing you get is a bad

self-esteem and a bad flirt.

We don’t say that you should

stop talking to guys, we just

want you to understand that

when you are thirteen years

old you don’t have to have a

boyfriend.

Tell your friends that

you don’t like their boyfriend-

questions and that you think

it starts to get a bit annoying,

because you know this by

yourself and you don’t need to

hear about it everyday. It

sounds very corny, but it’s the

best way of getting a boys at-

tention. Be yourself and love

yourself, because if you can’t

love yourself who else can? It’s

very hard, we know and as the

title says. We’ve been there,

we’ve done that and we will

never go back to feeling

stressed about love, because

it’s not worth it.

Love,

Frida and Fredrike

For those of you who don’t know Mr. Cross, he is the new mu-sic teacher and IT-representative here at IES Hässelby. Mr. Cross joined us here in Sweden on August 2 this year, but before coming here, he lived in Manchester, England, the second biggest city in the coun-try. He came to Stockholm with the purpose of working at IES. However, he originally had different plans. Mr. Cross was going to South Korea to teach English when his friend told him about the op-portunity here at IES. He thought that teaching music suited him more, and switched routes from South Korea to Sweden. While still living in England, he taught music, and Mr. Cross told us that he thinks students here are much more respectful than students back in Manchester. Before teaching at all, how-ever, Mr. Cross went through five years of studying music. Mr. Cross always enjoyed music, but he start-ed taking it seriously when he was 12 years old; before that when he was around 9 or 10, he wanted to be an architect. “Everything in England is made of bricks, but here it looks like everything is from IKEA!” he said. He also said that England is a tougher place to live in then Swe-den, but that the country itself is not so different from England. One thing that Mr. Cross had noticed about Sweden is that people don’t know how to cross the road here. Apparently, we stand and wait for a green light, even if there are no cars around. Either that or we just run out on the road

in the middle of oncoming traffic. “If people did that in Eng-land,” he said, “they would be squashed like bugs.” We asked Mr. Cross if he had had any recent em-barrassing moments here in a new country, and he told us about a time that we all hope wouldn’t happen to us: “I was on my way home from Stockholm, and I had hopped on the bus extremely exhausted. I dozed off for a bit, or for what I thought was a bit, until I woke up and real-ized I was in Jakobsberg! By then the last bus had already gone, there were no more busses going that night. So, the only thing left to do was to walk. It took me an hour and a half to walk home that night, and I didn’t get back until 4.00 in the morning!” If there’s anything we can learn from this story, it’s to stay awake on the busses, and not party too hard!

Gamex featured many upcoming or fairly new games like Halo 4, Just Dance 4, and Assassin's Creed 3, the previous were all terrific although a lot of people were disappointed there weren't any Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 to be seen. Gamex is held every year during Höstlov. A 1-day ticket costs about 100 kr but it depends, a 4-day ticket is a bit over 300 kr. If you consider yourself a video game freak I do recommend going next year. More info and pictures about the convention can be found on their website: Gamex.se.

For everyone that recently started at the school, Choice Day is when you spend two days doing an activity that you have chosen. Since there are limited amounts of people that can do one thing at a time, not everyone can do what they want. That’s where preferred alter-natives come in. The first activity you chose is the one you want the most. The second one is your other alterna-tive, and so on. We at the IES Hässelby Post managed to ask Mr. Roman a few questions regarding Choice Day.

Rubik’s Cube Master By Sandis Freimanis

You’ve seen the colored cubes that you can twist and turn. Rubik’s cubes are difficult puzzles to solve. It is a very fun challenge and it makes you think logically. There are many talented students in our school who can solve the Rubik’s cube quickly.

The Hässelby Post spoke with Fredrika Hagman, 6A, who is very talented and can solve the cube in an astonishing 14.72 se-conds! Fredrika told us that she has been cubing for about one year now and started solving cu-bes because others in her class were also doing it. Her cubing idol is a Swede called Daniel Johanson and the world record holder, Felix Zemdegs, who has a world record of 5.66 seconds. Fredrika also gave us some tips about how to start out with solving cubes. She says it’s best done by learning a basic be-ginner’s method and then move on from there. Most importantly, don’t give up or get frustrated!

I t ’s Your Choice! By Emil S jölander

A gamer’s paradise is, of course, Sweden’s biggest gaming convention: Gamex. Gamex took place from 1-4 November at Kista Mässan. Many students from our school went at least one of the days. I went to all four days to participate in the Swedish cosplay championships (don't know cosplay? Check out “A Conversation About Cosplay” on page 3). I qualified for the finals and ended up being within the best 8, (76 participating) but enough about me. Jesper Karlson (7D) also came in second place in the Skyrim championships.

Gone to Gamex? By Stel la Palmqvis t

When we asked where the idea of Choice Day came from, Mr. Roman responded, “The Swedish government passed a bill in 1992 that choice should be incorporated into the education curriculum,” meaning that since 1992, there has to be a way of allowing choice in schools. Mr. Roman said it takes at least a few months to organize Choice Day. The most chosen activi-ty was last year, according to Mr. Roman, A Day at the Spa. Mr. Ro-man says he thinks last year went “very well.”

A n o t h e r question Mr. Ro-man encountered is what activity he would choose to participate in if he had the choice, and he responded, “I would choose building engineer-ing because I have always wanted to make one of those crazy machines that do something simple.”

Superstorm Sandy:

An Eyewitness Account By Tilly Olsson

over to their school by offering free items and such, but who am I to speak? It sure was a once-in-a-life-time experience! The only other time I’ve felt this pumped was during the IES Summer Trip to London, and that was the bomb! The Gymnasium Fair gave every ninth grader insight into what goals to achieve and which gymnasium is best suited f o r t h e m . E v e n I E G S (Internationella Engleska Gym-nasiet in Södermalm) was there, and they sure were great in han-dling the questions that were fired at them like no tomorrow. All-in-all, I just want to say: Future ninth graders, enjoy your life while you can!

Gymnasium Fair Chaos! By Rithika Kabilan

On Thursday the 22nd of November all ninth graders at-tended something known as ’Gymnasiemässan’, or in English, the Gymnasium Fair. It’s a huge fair with representatives from nearly all the gymnasiums in Stockholm trying to convince you to join their school. There was a constant buzz in the atmosphere that did-n’t want to be contained, so you were neck-deep in the relentless chatter of clerks explaining and advertising continuously. You could guess that the clerks were tired, but you have to admire them for standing in their booth all day and publicizing their school with hospitality and warmth. I got the hunch that some schools tried to win you

Hurricane Sandy trans-formed from just a wave in the Caribbean to a monstrous hurri-cane and a tropical storm in only six hours, killing 149 people all over the east of the United States, in parts of Canada, Haiti, and the Caribbean, with record breaking barometric reading (atmospheric pressure) of 940 millibars. Hurri-cane Sandy has created about $20 billion in property damage, leav-ing about 8.5 million people with-out power on October 31. Hurri-cane Sandy first hit the United States on Monday, October 29th in New Jersey with 80 mph (129 kilometers per hour), which was when Inez Ekblad, 7th grader, was in New York, one of the states most impacted by Hurricane Sandy. Where did you stay in New York and what happened when you were there? I stayed at the hotel Edison on 57th street right by Times Square. Where we stayed there was al-most no wind, because we were far from Battery Park and from the other water. On Monday morning we actually walked up on 5th Avenue. There, the wind was blowing strongly and it was

raining. Were you scared while every-thing was happening? Not so much really but it was weird when everything was empty. We went out and there were only around 20 people in Times Square. And all the other streets were emp-ty! What did Hurricane Sandy do to places in New York (like Ground Zero, the subway stations, etc)? Well we got in free to Ground Zero because of the bad weather. It was worse down there because it’s by the southern part of Manhattan. The next day it was flooding water down there. The subway got shot down by flooding around 5pm on Sunday, and if you looked at the entrances more south they looked like swimming pools! But they were able to be restored on 32nd Street on Wednesday. Also all of lower Manhattan was without power! We met some Swedes who didn’t have electricity in their ho-tels. I think that lower Manhattan was out of power for three days. Every store and almost every res-taurant was closed from Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thurs-day.

For this article I interviewed my parents about the schools in the countries where they studied. Moe-Gumø, from Norway. “In Sweden students get lunch from the schools,” says Øystein, “But in Norway we need to bring our own lunch to school. The school supplies only a quarter liter of milk and a piece of carrot or apple to the students. The Norwegian gymnasiums are called “School for further stud-ies” and it's not mandatory”. Xingcun Liu, from China. “The school in China is a lot harder than here in Sweden,” says Xingcun. “In all schools in

China the students wear school-uniforms. The students get a lot of homework, so much that they often don't have time to play. In the middle and at the end of each term there is a big test for all the students. They have small tests too that can come randomly. “All the students in all grades have lessons at the same time and breaks at the same time, not like here in Sweden. The school have lunch that they make for the students but it’s, however, not for free. The parents can choose to pay some money every month if they want the school to give their child lunch, or if they want their kid to bring food to school.”

Anti -Bul ly ing Week By Bosco Leung

Mr. Roman and Mr. Eriks-son came up with the idea of dedi-cating Week 46 to showing the students that the anti-bullying team (Mr. Eriksson, Ms. Evaldsson, Ms. Pieper, Ms. Malmsköld, Ms. Sanhueza, Mr. Roman, Mr. Wal-lace, and Ms. Wilson) want to stop the bullying that goes on at our school. “It took the anti-bullying team around five weeks to plan it,” Ms. Malmsköld told The Hässelby Post. They have worked very hard for this project. Ms. Malmsköld and Ms. Sanhueza sat and worked in the common room the whole day, so students knew that it was serious. There was also an art com-petition in which students drew an anti-bullying sign that might be chosen to be on a book mark. Since the students did it between less-sons, there was not as much “time” to bully. All the teachers also wore T-shirts with a text saying STOP BULLYING. “I thought it was great!” Mr. Roman said. “It felt really good to be a part of something so meaning-

ful, to feel like I have positively impacted so many.” Ms. Malmsköld agreed. “It was very fun,” she said. “The most fun was to sit inside the Common Room all the time. We were sitt-ting there the whole day, so it was very interesting. I think there are many things teachers don’t see. We walk through the Com-mon Room a lot, but it's not al-ways we are sitting there. So it was very interesting, I thought!”

“I can't answer that question because everything is fun about it!” said Benjamin Tesfazion, 6C, when he was asked what his favorite part of playing the voice of Phineas in the Disney Channel show call-led Phineas and Ferb. Benjamin started play-ing the well-known role of Phineas two years ago and works for a place called SDI Media, which is a company that works on translating shows and movies, where he records each show.

B e n j a m i n ’ s acting career all started when a friend of his mother (who worked at SDI Media) asked if he could go to an audition to play the role of Phineas, since the actor at the time was too old.

During his audition, Benjamin said it was “fun and exciting to be there”, even though he was nervous. He voiced over one episode, and it was sent over to the USA. Finally, Benjamin lan-ded the role. But not only does he act in Phineas and Ferb, but he acts as a voice-over on a Nickelodeon show called “Life with Boys” as the youngest brother. Benjamin wants to continue acting in the future, but with different shows.

Student Plays Phineas By Til ly Olsson

At the beginning, it was very hard. Ms. Bergström fought to get the first IES school started. During the weekends, she cleaned the school since they didn’t have the money for professional clean-ers. They asked furniture com-panies to donate desks and chairs for their classrooms. Almost the entire school was sponsored by different companies in the commu-nity. “Over the past 20 years, I have never taken out a loan,” said Ms. Bergström. “That is something I am very proud of.” One of the reasons why Ms. Bergström started IES is be-cause she believes that English is an important language. She says that if you want to become a glob-al citizen of the world, you need to not only be able to speak English, but command the language. Ms. Bergström thinks that learning in an environment sur-rounded by English-speaking teachers makes the students ambi-tious.

“Around Christmastime, you can already see improvements in the students and in a year the students feel much more secure in both speaking and writing in Eng-lish,” she said. When asked what she likes to do in her spare time, Ms. Bergström answered, “I don’t have any spare time!” But she does en-joy reading books. Ms. Bergström is proud of our 18 elementary schools throughout Sweden, our upper secondary school in Södermalm, and our very first IES school in the UK. Ms. Bergström thinks that our school here in Hässelby is a great place. “The top level quality of the education is the main factor of your quickly growing school,” she said. Now you know a little more about the founder of Inter-nationella Engelska Skolan. Thanks for taking the time for an interview, Ms. Bergström!

As a kid, I didn’t have many hobbies like soccer, disco or dance like most other kids. Instead I fell in love with other activities such as drama, judo and cosplay much later. If you have no clue what cosplay is, do not fear, because I have interviewed Tanja Lén-berg, 7B, who also is involved in my favorite activity, cosplay. Q: So Tanja, I think we all want to know, what is cosplay? A: Well, cosplay is short for ‘costume play’ meaning that you dress up like any character from Japanese media, such as manga, anime and ga-mes. You mainly cosplay at events called conventions. Q: Seems kind of weird, but I guess if you liked playing dress up as a kid you can relate right? Anyway, how did you start cosplaying, Tanja? A: My sister was doing it and got me involved in Japanese pop culture when I was a kid so I really had no choice. Q: Well I also make my sis do all kinds of stuff so it makes sense right? A: Well, yeah. Q: Tanja, do you make your costumes yourself and if so how much

does it cost? A: We pretty much do the whole costume ourselves and the cost de-pends on the costume. It can cost a few thousand, if you want to make a massive robot costume or for a simple costume just a few hundred. However, you also need to consider the price for the con-

vention ticket. Q: Finally, what is the weirdest thing that ever happened to you while cosplaying? A: When I was cosplaying Slenderman from the game, Slender started stal-king me and since Slenderman is a stalker it was kind of ironic. Seems fun but also a bit scary… any-way, if you want to showcase your hobby in this paper, you can reach me at stella.palmqvist@gmail.com or find me on breaks (7B).

A Conversat ion About Cosplay By Stel la Palmqvis t

My hearts drops to my toes and I feel the room suddenly shrink and the air gets hotter and hotter. Eliza is missing? Maybe she just crashed at a friend’s house after the party last night! The party…. Should I tell anyone about it? Before I can say anything my mother starts interrogating me like usual. “What hap-pened last night? And where did Eliza go?” She pesters, pulling a hair binder out of her pony tail and fixing her dirty blond hair. I open my mouth to say something, but then stop. I remember all the times that Eliza has covered for me, when I failed my science test, when I lost the $100 that my mom gave me to shop (and also return the leftover money), but I also remember last night. She left me downtown at night with no money and 5% bat-tery left of my phone. She also insulted me, be-coming the best ‘frenemy’ anyone could ever have. “Eliza’s mom told me she’s not picking up her phone…” My mother covered her eyes with her shaking hand. “After the dinner,” I say, ready to confess everything. Eliza needs to be found, and busted, and maybe something happened to her at the party. All of a sudden, my phone chimes. I dart

to my table and grab it, opening my message inbox. I don’t recognize the number, and it looks out of my county. Lila, its Eliza. U need to cover 4 me! Trust me- I’ll be back soon!!!!!!

I start typing back, WHERE ARE YOU?!?! And who’s fone are U using? But my mom cuts me off and says, “Who is it?” I freeze, but think on my feet. “It’s just Josie,” I press send and close my phone, making sure the lock is turned on. I sit back on the bed and say, “After the dinner, Eliza left to meet an old friend. She didn’t say who,” I feel more confident with my story now that I know that my best friend and neighbor is safe and alive. My mom’s face is blank; I can’t read if she believes me or not. “But she told me to wait there. Eliza had called me after about an hour, saying I should go home. Then I called you.” I release a breath, glad that my story actually makes sense. “Well why didn’t you tell me this last night?” My mom asks angrily. “Uhh,” I stutter. “I just, I guess I felt bad that Eliza was ditching me for another friend. Again.” I look away, remembering my mom’s strong sympathy for people. “Oh, sweetie, it’s okay. We’ll find Eli-za,” she says optimistically. She pats my shoulder and leaves the room, telling me to get changed and inform the other girls what happened to Eliza. After she leaves, I lock my door and

Paolo Roberto’s Vermicelli Alle Vongole before your pasta is ready, get ready to start cooking – you'll have to be quick about this, so no mucking about! Put 4 gene-rous lugs of extra virgin olive oil into the hot pan and add the garlic, parsley stalks and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Crumble in the dried chili and add the chopped tomatoes. Stir everything around constantly and just as the garlic starts to color, tip in the clams and pour in the wine. It will splutter and steam, so give everything a good shake and put the lid on the pan.

After about 3 or 4 minutes the clams will start to open, so keep shuff-ling the pan around until all of them have opened. Take the pan off the heat. Get rid of any clams that haven't opened. By now your pasta should be just about perfect. Drain and add to the pan of clams along with the parsley leaves and an extra drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Stir or toss for a further minute or two to let the beautiful seashore juices from the clams be absorbed into the pasta. Serve right away, along with bread on the side!

return to my phone. After sending quick texts to Lucy and Josie, I notice I have no new messages. Eliza didn’t text me back. I type, Eliza, U NEED to come home. NOW! But then I delete it, thinking I’m be-ing too mom-ish. Okay, I type. I covered for U. Seriously, just come back! I press send, hoping she will respond. As I change into a pair of A&F jeggings and a baggy Track and Field sweatshirt from mid-dle school, I hear my phone buzz. No need to come home, you’ll find me soon enough.

An hour later, my mom, Ms. Van-Coup, Kelly VanCoup, and I are driving around downtown, asking people every-where if they’ve seen Eliza. I think it’s pretty useless since apparently we’ll “find Eliza soon enough,” according to her text message.

I look around the town square, seeing hundreds of people walk in and out of stores and boutiques next to La Folie carrying shopping bags. I suddenly recognize a famil-iar face, and realize it is one of the girls who walked in drunk to the restaurant last night. She is carrying a water bottle and a Dolce and Gabanna purse swung over her shoulder.

“Excuse me,” I shout, running over to her. She looks annoyed, staring at me with her big brown eyes and her dark under eye circles. “What?” She snaps.

“Have you seen this girl?”

Ingredients • 1kg small clams, scrubbed clean • a small bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley • 4 cloves of garlic • 10 cherry tomatoes • 250ml white wine (You can skip this!) • 400g dried spaghetti • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper • extra virgin olive oil • 1–2 dried chilies Put a pan of water on to boil. While that’s happening, sort through your cleaned clams and if there are any that aren’t tightly closed, give them a sharp tap. If they don’t close, throw them away. Put a large pan with a lid on a high heat and let it heat up. Finely slice the parsley stalks, then put them to one side and roughly chop the leaves. Peel and chop the garlic and quarter the to-matoes and get your wine ready (you can skip the wine). Add the pasta to the boiling water with a good pinch of salt and cook according to packet instructions until al dente. About 5 minutes

it left off with Bella recovering from her transformation from hu-man to vampire, and giving birth to her and Edward’s half-human half-vampire baby, Renesmee, an experience that almost killed her. In this movie we get to follow Bel-la and Edward during the ulti-mate battle to protect their daughter. This movie combines some of the best themes a movie can have – love, drama, action and ex-citement, all wrapped up into one amazing film. Breaking Dawn Part 2 is in our opinion the best movie in the series because it finished off Bella and Edward’s story in such an ac-tion-packed yet loving way, and gave the fans a great ending to an amazing love story. We recommend everyone to see it, even those of you who don’t think the Twilight series is something for you!

As you’re well aware, Paolo Roberto has come to IES Hässelby as another one of our special guest stars! First Michael Dahl and now him, wow we’re popular! Paolo Roberto is half Italian, half Swedish, but he was an Italian citizen until the legal age of 18. He was born and brought up in the city of Naples, Italy. Did you know that he is an ex-boxer and used to be an actor? He played a role in the international movie by Stieg Larsson called ‘The Girl Who Played With Fire’. We have a special treat for all of you! A special Christmas re-cipe recommended from Paolo Roberto himself. It is a pasta dish called Vermicelli Alle Vongole. Find the recipe on Page 7!
