1 - Why does he hope it could be "anything"?
The worst possible answer is that she is pregnant. Sam still believed it was one in a trillion chance that she was going to say something else. Maybe she was upset they were splitting up, or some new boyfriend were being horrible to her?

2 - What is not quite right about what Alicia is saying?
Alicia claimes that the baby is "her's" when its inside her stomach, and "their's" when it comes out. This wasn't quite right because she could decide if they were going to keep the baby or not. But when the baby was born, he also had to participate with taking care of it. He felt this wasn't fair.

3 - How does Sam feel? Have you ever felt like this? when?
Sam is afraid. He is afraid of having a baby, and he is afraid of telling her parents. He really just want it to let it be, but he realises he has to tell someone. I have never felt like that before. Obviously, I haven't had a child before, which means I've never told my girlfriends parents that we're going to have a child. But I have had the feeling when you are going to tell someone something you don't want to tell them.

Multicultural Britain

Research and discover

1. The first immigrants who came to Norway, came from neighbouring countries and Western Europe. In the 1960s, Norwegian economy improved, There was need for more labour, and many people came for other countries to find work. Most of them came from Europe, but as time went by, people from Asia, Africa, Latin America etc. came to find work. Later in the 1970s however, immigration was halted because of unemployment was increasing, and it was dificult to find housing for everyone. In recent years, many asylum seekers and refugees have also arrived in Norway.

2. In Norway, we have immigrants from all around the world. Especially in big ctities like Oslo and Bergen. If you drive through Oslo, you will see poeple from different countries and cultures. You will see restaurants and stores selling food, toys, clothes etc. from countries all around the world. In London, I think it is pretty similar, but much bigger. In London, big parts of the city is the home to many immigrants. There are cultures that differs from the rest of London and the British culture.

Smith the sealion ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

1. Once upon a time there was a man named Smith. Smith was 96 years old, but due to his age, he was an active golfplayer. Infact, he was one of the greatest of them all! On a rainy Sunday, when Smith was playing golf with his lads, he got a phonecall from his GP. He had incurable cancer. Smith giggled while he sat down in his golfcart. He started the engine and threw away his phone. "See ya later lads!" he said to his buddies, while reving the engine. Before they knew it he was driving in an insane speed, spinning up the lawn. He put on the stereo and played his most insane dubstep remixes by Skrillex. He stopped in the middle of the golfcourse and stripped naked. He sat back down in the golfcart and drove towards the lake. "I'm a sealion!" he yelled while jumping into the water. Smith had turned into a sealion. Everyone was shocked, and couldn't understand what just happened, but before they knew it, they did the exact same thing! Stripping naked, playing Katy perry on their stereo driving towards the lake. "We are sealions!" they yelled while jumping in the water. Noone have ever seen Smith or his lads since then, but legends say they are still swimming in the same lake, playing Skrillex and Katy Perry on their stereo.
