A Prank

Prank: practical joke or mischievous trick.


It´s Friday again so let´s start the weekend with a smile. This is a prank with a name: "feeding the homeless." Watch the video and do some oral practice. You may either tell the prank to a friend or just to yourself - in this case, do it in front of a mirror, it will be easier to practise if you keep eye contact with someone (even if that someone is you- anyway, can there be a better audience for you than yourself?)

When the video has finished, make sure you can answer the basic questions that will help you to make it a meaningful story: who? when? where? what? why? how?

Vocabulary that you will hear - and that you will, hopefully, learn as you rehearse telling the story aloud: 

undecover agent 
surveillance work
sergeant
blow someone´s cover
deliver pizza
credit card
awesome



And last, but not least, what do you think about this prank? I am looking forward to reading your comments.

A Prank

Let´s see if you can learn some colloquial vocabulary while we share some smiles: this video is called Drive Thru Invisible Driver Prank; how would you translate this title? The most important word, the noun, is the last one and all the others are adjectives that you should translate from last to first: the most significant adjective is the one  closest to the noun, so...your translation is...?

Let me help you with some vocabulary, most of it is very colloquial so I will link it to "Urban Dictionary":

OMG



Have a nice weekend!
