Funny Animal Video Exercise

OK, I figured out how you can improve your English through some interesting videos.
First, read the following drama.

Character: Foxy the Fox and Jack the Rabbit, they both work for Frontier Airline.
Background: Foxy is a beautiful fox and Jack admires her for a long time.

(Foxy is flying and Jack catches up.)

Jack: (Trying to look excited) Foxy! What a coincidence.

Foxy: (Calm and unsurprised) Come on, Jack, you've been on my tail for 400 miles. What's up.

Jack: (He was a little stucked because Foxy knew it was not a coincidence) Uh... OK..well, actually I...I'm planning to Cancoon next week and I just thought you if you weren't doing anything, maybe we can hit the beach together?

Foxy: (Still not excited nor surprised) The beach, huh?

Jack: Picture this -- you, me, a bottle of suntan lotion and these furry little paws.

(Foxy is not interested and turns away without a reply.)

Jack: (Still hopeful) I'll take that as a "maybe"?

Then, watch this video:


This is a TV commercial from an American airline called Frontier Airlines.

What you can learn:
**portray a character using dialogue.

**listening skills (the English spoken in the video is American English which is actually quite fast for most of you, but as you practise, you can listen and understand more.)

**Oral English (There are some terms and expressions like "Whats up?" "Huh?" "..hit the beach ...") You can try using these terms and expressions in your daily conversation.

So, have fun and enjoy!
