Hello. Welcome to The English We Speak with me, Helen. |
| [00:03.39] |
And me Rob. |
| [00:05.34] |
Hi. |
| [00:07.09] |
Rob, I like your trainers, very cool, and look at your designer jeans. |
| [00:12.45] |
Trendy, Rob's looking quite trendy today, for a change! |
| [00:17.70] |
So you like them then? |
| [00:20.05] |
I do. But it's not really what someone your age normally wears. |
| [00:24.65] |
Oh, I see. But don't you think it makes me look cool and fashionable and younger? |
| [00:30.97] |
Erm. |
| [00:32.22] |
You know, I'm just trying to get down with the kids. |
| [00:34.67] |
The kids? You're down with the kids? Down where exactly? |
| [00:38.82] |
Oh Helen, keep up. I'm not going anywhere. |
| [00:42.08] |
I mean I'm keeping in with the kids. I'm in tune with the younger generation, yeah! |
| [00:47.67] |
So Rob, to do this you have to dress like a teenager? |
| [00:51.93] |
Well, not just that. I share the same interests as young people. |
| [00:56.22] |
I listen to their music on my mp3 player. |
| [00:59.48] |
Like this. |
| [01:00.98] |
Erh,could you turn that down please. |
| [01:03.69] |
Oh, right right right. |
| [01:04.91] |
So you're acting young when really you aren't. |
| [01:08.52] |
It seems getting down with the kids is about behaving like them. |
| [01:12.44] |
Well, you are certainly a big kid Rob. Let's hear some examples of people using this phrase. |
| [01:18.88] |
My Dad's bought a new skateboard so that he can be down with the kids. |
| [01:24.33] |
I almost broke my neck snowboarding on holiday but hey, at least I'm down with the kids. |
| [01:30.33] |
She's dyed her hair red and pierced her nose just so she can be down with the kids. |
| [01:36.53] |
So Rob, what else are you doing to be down with the kids? |
| [01:40.60] |
Hey Helen, I'm doing things like chillin' and being where it's at. |
| [01:45.75] |
Rob not all kids talk like that. |
| [01:49.23] |
Oh right. |
| [01:51.08] |
Well, I've got some rollerblades so I can blade round the park. |
| [01:55.30] |
The only trouble is, I can't seem to get them on. |
| [01:58.70] |
Ouch, my back. |
| [02:01.10] |
Are you OK? |
| [02:02.55] |
It looks like Rob has a bad back, so he won't be down with the kids for a while! |
| [02:08.00] |
Do you need some help? |
| [02:09.35] |
Thanks. |
| [02:10.65] |
I think I'll just put my slippers on, much more comfortable. |
| [02:15.44] |
Remember, being down with the kids can be hard work. |
| [02:19.00] |
See you next time. Bye bye. |
| [02:20.85] |
Bye. Ouch, my back. |
| [02:24.11] |
Helen, could you just put that slipper over there please? |
