The English We Speak.

From BBC Learning English.

Hello and welcome to The English We speak. I'm young Lee.

I'm William Kramer.

So what English are we speaking today, William?

I don't know.

Oh, what a big sigh. What's wrong?

Ah, it doesn't matter. Oh, come on. I can see something's not right. What's wrong?

It's well if you must know it's it's it's it's it's it's Tiger he's died.

Tiger who is Tigger? Tigger, was my beautiful cat.

He was my best friend, I suppose you could say that.

I'm going to miss his strippy face in the morning and his purr.

Yeah, I'm gonna miss that. But you know these things happen I shouldn't get so upset. Why not?

I think it's perfectly normal to be very sad when the pet dies. No no it's silly I'm getting upset over an animal it's I'm not a baby I

should grow up but you might find it helpful to talk about your feelings

for Tiga.. No no no I hate all of that touchy feely stuff.

Tatchy feely? Yeah if something is touchy feelfealy, it's very emotional.

If you are a touchy-fely person, you don't mind talking about your feelings

and maybe actually hugging people.
