a king penguin was not about to be intimidated by this giant elephan seal blocking his path to the sea. Instead, he slapped it with his flipper. But when the seal gave a huge roar, the brave penguin had to retreat and take the long way to the water. The encounter took place on the South Atlantic island of south Georgia.
Skateboard are cool. Giant skateboards are really cool. Skatepark designer Joe Ciaglia has created the world's largest skateboard. The 1600-Kg Board measures 11 meters long, and 2,5 meters high.

Santra, a brown bear in a zoo in Finland, entertained visitors with a 15 minute yoga routine. Santra began the stretching exercise on waking: she pulled each leg separately, then lifted both at the same time!
Hello, there. Can I help you? Yes, I'm staying in Somerset with a friend next week and we were wondering if there's anything to see around there. Have you got any information? Yes, there are day trips to the Cheddar caves if you're interested. I'll get you a leaflet. That sounds good. What time do the trips leave? Oh, they're fairly regular - they go every day except Monday at nine and eleven. OK. And how much is the trip? We've got student cards. Let's see. Well, in that case it's 8 pounds per person. The full price is 12 pounds. That's fine. We'll go on Thursday, then. Do we need to book it? I'll book it for you if you like. Can I take your names?
CHANGE SOMETHING IN A SHOP:
Xuni: Hello. Are you OK there? Gillem: Yes, hi. I was given these jeans as a present but they're too small. Is it OK if I change them? Xuni: That should be OK. Have you got the receipt? Gillem: Yes, here you are. xunii: OK. Well actually, we've sold out of those jeans, I'm afraid. You can choose something else if you like. Guillem: Oh, right. Can I try these things on? xuni: Yes, sure. The changing rooms are over there. Guillem: What do you think of this coat? it isn't too long, is it? Xuni: No, I don't think so. it's really funky. Guillem: OK. I'll take it then. Thanks.
DISCUSS A QUESTIONARIE:
Guillem: Hey, xuni. We're doing a questionnaire about identity. Do you want to have a look? Xuni: Yeah, go on then. Ask me something. Guillem: OK, I will ask you the interesting ones. Do you express yourself more through your hairstyle or your clothes? Xuni: Er, through my clothes. Guillem: Yes, me too! Right, do you usually know what music someone likes from the clothes they wear? Xuni: Oh, that's a difficult one. Not always, no. Guillem: No, me neither. OK. How about this one - do you prefer to hang out with a group of friends, or alone? Xuni: I prefer a group. Guillem: Oh, I don't. I prefer to relax on my own. xuni: We're a bit different then. guillem: It looks like it, yes.
