SUZY: This here, Grandma.It's called a mouse because it's got a long tail.Look.
GRANDMA: Oh, I see.
STELLA: Then you click on this program, and you can write your email. SIMON: OK.What do you want to do, Grandpa?
GRANDPA: I want to go on the Internet.I want to buy a DVD or a video about fishing.
SIMON: You don't want a video, Grandpa.A DVD's better because you can watch it on your new computer.Now, you need an MP3 player, Grandpa.
GRANDPA: No, Simon.Now I need a cup of tea.

GRANDPA: Oh, I'm tired today.We went shopping yesterday. SIMON: Oh, really?What did you buy? GRANDPA: We bought a computer.
SIMON: How exciting, Grandpa!Which computer did you get? GRANDMA: We got a really good one.It's a KBX4. SIMON: Why did you choose that one?
GRANDPA: Well, we chose it because your grandma read about it and the man in the shop said it was a good one.
GRANDMA: Yes, he thought it was better than the others. SIMON: Did you bring it home with you?
GRANDMA: Oooh, no.The nice man from the shop brought the computer home later.
GRANDPA: Yes, he took it out of the box, put it on the table and said goodbye.
GRANDMA: Yes, he thought that we knew something about computers, but we don't.We don't know how to turn it on!

SUZY: Here's a picture for you, Mum.I drew it at the city zoo before we came home.
SIMON: Yes, Dad drove us there this morning.
STELLA: It was great.We saw the dolphins.They swam round the pool and jumped out of the water to eat fish from a man's hand.
SUZY: Look, it's here in the picture.And we saw some baby lions, Mum.They ran in a big square cage, but their parents slept all day. STELLA: After we saw the lions, we went into the parrots' cage and they flew round our heads.
SUZY: They were the most beautiful animals.Dad bought me a toy parrot.Look, it's over there on the table. MRS STAR: Mmm!
SIMON: A parrot sat on Dad's head.It was really funny, but the lizard
was the best.It caught a fly.Ffphffkkk.And ate it for its lunch.
