5Activity

Terry is lost! Look, a policeman with a strange black hat … They are called Bobbies. Let's ask him … Listen, he has a strong Cockney accent (a popular London accent). Listen to the conversation and explain where Terry is going and how he is going to go there.

DID YOU KNOW

In 19th century London, some criminals didn't want the police to understand what they said so they invented a code: the ‘Cockney Rhyming Slang'. This code replaces one word by one or two words that rhyme with it.
 

You don't say:

‘website' but ‘wind and kite'

‘kids' but ‘saucepan lids'

‘stairs' but ‘apples and pears'

DO IT YOURSELF

Write a postcard to your best friend telling him/her about your visit of London. You can also send an e-card on this site: www.cardengland.com.

Don't forget to use the proper forms of address.
