  • Hi, I'm Fei.

  • Fei.

  • And joining us here today in the zoo to present the English We Speak is Finn.

  • Hi.

  • What's the matter, Finn?

  • You sound worried.

  • The zoo is a place of fun.

  • Yes, and I love animals too, but I don't know what I'm going to do with that white elephant.

  • That one over there?

  • No, the one my uncle is giving me.

  • Your uncle is giving you an elephant?

  • Yeah, he's moving to South Africa and he's giving away some of his things.

  • And are you ready to take care of an elephant?

  • That's the problem.

  • I'm not.

  • It is beautiful.

  • Oh, yes, I'm sure it is.

  • And it is powerful.

  • Yes, very powerful.
