Dave asks people to call the studio.
Perhaps you are still on holiday right now. In that case, please give us a call.
Damon says the horses are not dangerous.
You must not leave any food near your caravan or your tent, because there is a chance a horse or pony might come and eat it. But they are not very dangerous, really. They are half wild, you could say.
Charlie is going to climb a mountain.
We are going to Fort William tomorrow. It is at the foot of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK. It is more than 4,000 feet high, and we are going to climb it.
Helen is on an island with family.
I am on holiday in the Isle of Wight, indeed. It is a beautiful island in the south, as you probably know. I am here with my mum, my dad, and my younger brother Danny.
Charlie has a friend from another country.
We are touring with our camper, but we have been on the same campsite for a few days now. Next to us is a family from Holland. Chris is one of them, and I do a lot of things with him. Even though he is Dutch, he speaks English very well.
Damon’s friend Kevin is very athletic.
My best mate is Kevin. He is also fourteen years old, like me. He is quite a small boy with short blond hair and blue eyes. His face is full of freckles. It is really fun to be with him, because he is very funny and very athletic too. He is especially good at climbing trees.
Helen likes to go to the beach.
Well, there is a super fantastic swimming pool here at the park. And I go there almost every day with my family and my cousins, but we also go to the beach now and then. The weather is gorgeous a lot of the time, so it is great fun to go there too.

Let's check your knowledge
You want to make a funny video of yourself. You start dancing in your room, but sometimes you feel a little embarrassed.
You go outside to find a nice place. You see a beach with white sand and a calm lake. You decide to cycle to the lake and climb a small hill to get a good view.
There is a big tree nearby, and you hide in its shadow for a funny effect. In the middle of the lake, you see a small island.
The weather is perfect for filming, and you enjoy making your funny video.
Have you ever watched or shared a video that made you feel embarrassed or awkward?
Cringe TikTok videos
Explanation
What are cringe or awkward videos?
Cringe or awkward videos are videos that show funny, strange, or embarrassing situations. They make people feel a little uncomfortable or shy when they watch them. For example, someone might be dancing or singing alone in their room, and then someone else secretly films it. These videos are popular on social media because they are real, silly, and not perfect. Even famous people make cringe videos, showing that everyone can have fun and be a little awkward sometimes.
