Hi I’m Sarah. Welcome to The Daily English Show.
Today I recommend a video called Google Maps by this comedy group.
I think this video is a really interesting idea and it’s a good one to study because it’s a dialogue between two people.
One word you can learn is creepy.
One of the guys says: And there’s the creepy dude’s van.
creepy adj. (informal) causing an unpleasant feeling of fear or unease
And dude in this sentence, means man.
And there’s the creepy man’s van.
STICK NEWS
Kia Ora, in Stick News today, Edison Chen has publicly announced that he will step away from the Hong Kong entertainment industry indefinitely.
Edison Chen was born in Vancouver, Canada 27 years ago. Wikipedia lists his occupation as: record producer, singer, actor, fashion designer and CEO.
Chen was discovered in 1999 while clubbing in Hong Kong and by 2001 he was already winning the hearts of many screaming teenage girls.
In November 2006, Chen allegedly purchased a pink computer in Hong Kong.
Some time later he sent the computer in for repairs and according to police an estimated 1,300 intimate photographs of Chen and numerous female celebrities may have been accessed and copied by one or more of the shop's employees without consent.
On the 27th of January 2008, one of the photos appeared on the internet. Over the following weeks hundreds more photos were posted.
At first some people said the photos may have been fake.
On the 21st of February, Chen made a public apology.
He admitted taking most of the photographs.
And said they had been stolen and published illegally without his consent.
He announced that he would "step away indefinitely" from the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
And that was Stick News for Thursday 21st February.

How did you find out about Niseko?
Ah, Dave, my friend, ah, talked to a lot of people and did some research on the internet. And a lot of people said that Niseko was really amazing. So, ah, we came here for the first time and fell in love. We were meant to go and try other places, but we haven’t gotten around to it yet.
What do you think of the conditions today?
I’m loving today! Today is amazing. Um, it’s windy and it’s cold and it’s snowing - but those are all good things. In Aust ... like, ah, in Adelaide, is in the driest part of the driest state of the driest country, so it’s very, very dry, um, and here it’s cold, but, lot’s of layers … it’s really good, and, just the snow is amazing.
