1. Mum: Victor? Kenneth? What’s all that shouting about? What are you doing? 2. Victor: Ken’s playing with my game-boy! Give it back to me! 3. Kenneth: It’s not your game-boy, Vic! It’s mine! Mum: So whose game-boy is this one under the table? 4. Kenneth: Oh! Sorry, Vic. This one belongs to you I must have dropped it there. Mum: Anyway, didn’t you two want to go surfing on the Internet this afternoon with Chris and Bonzo? 5.Kenneth: No, they’re no friends of ours! Mum: Well, I saw their mother at the supermarket this morning. She said you two had invited them to come round here after school to try out your new computer. Victor: Are you sure it was Chris and Bonzo’s mother? Mrs Brown from Number 193? 6. Mum: Of course I’m sure. I spoke to her. 7. Kenneth: We didn’t invite them, Mum. They must have invited us! 8. Mum: What’s wrong? Don’t you like them? I thought all the boys and girls in your class liked them. 9. Victor: Most of us do, Mum, and Bonzo is OK. But nobody likes Chris Brown much.
Crocodiles or crocs are talked about a lot in Australia. Usually they are separated into two types: saltwater crocs and freshwater crocs. Saltwater crocs are known as ‘salties’ and freshwater crocs are called ‘freshies’. Salties, which can be five meters long, are considered much more dangerous than freshies. Swimmers who are caught by a saltie, are rolled around in the water until their necks are broken. Then the swimmer’s body is stored under some wood by the croc until it is soft enough for him to chew. Freshies are much smaller and swimming with them is thought to be safe but a little scary.
