| [00:00.00] | 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? |
