Video 01
Notes
This is an octopus. You can see its tentacles: there are 8 of them. It lived in the national zoo. It inhabited the central aquarium in the main building and was very popular. In fact, this octopus was so popular and loved the fame so much that he never dreamt about escaping from the aquarium. This octopus also had a name: Inky.
(Inky) be homesick – (he) dream about escaping from the aquarium
(he) dream about escaping from the aquarium – formulate an action plan
formulate an action plan – wait until the right time
wait until the right time – squeez through the pump and into the pipe
squeez through the pump and into the pipe – slowly move along the pipe
slowly move along the pipe – reach the end of the pipe
reach the end of the pipe – find open water there
find open water there – jump into it with no hesitation
jump into it with no hesitation – start swimming like crazy to get away from the zoo
start swimming like crazy to get away from the zoo – meet a shark … then another one and another one
meet so many sharks – realise that he escape right into the shark tank
Inky, however, never escaped from the aquarium but lived a happy, rich life with fame and love from his fans.
