Video 01

Notes

One day, a fancy car came to the local car showroom. It was the most modern and stylish limousine people had ever seen there. There was one problem, though. No one was allowed to touch it. It was closed off from visitors and secured by guards.

(the car) be allowed for visitors to touch and look into – (people) come in big numbers to see it

(people) come in big numbers to see it – (they) sit into the car

(they) sit into the car – touch everything: the upholstery of the seats, the windows, the switches, the handles, the dashboard etc.

touch everything – turn on and off all the switches and buttons

turn on and off all the switches and buttons – get out carelessly

get out carelessly – shot a selfie standing next to the fancy car

shot a selfie standing next to the fancy car – banged the doors with a smirk on their faces

banged the doors with a smirk on their faces – (the car) become less and less attractive

(the car) become less and less attractive – (people) lose interest until a more recent model come to the local car showroom

Of course, our original model was safe and sound in its secured and closed-off area where people watched it in awe.
