No ideas for the next summer holidays?

Watch this ad for Australia and get all the present perfect used to make it. 

Read the script after waching it.

"We've bought you a beer.
We've had the camels shampooed.
We've saved you a spot on the beach.
And we've got the sharks out of pool
We got the roos off the green.
And Bill's on his way down to open the front gate.
The taxi's waiting!
And dinner is about to be served.
We've turned on the lights!
And we've been rehearsing for over 40,000 years.
So where the bloody hell are you?"

Why not creating your ad to your favorite destination, the holidays are coming soon and we've got to find ideas on where to go.

Wishing you a happy May day.

Will the volcano be your excuse for being late for school next Monday?

The government says there's still a "large number" of Brits stuck abroad because of the volcanic ash. They reckon people stranded in places like Hong Kong, Pakistan, Thailand, and Florida could remain stuck out there for a few more days yet.

Are you in that case? Dis it disturb your plans for holiday?

I suppose you've heard about the ashes from the volcano in Iceland but if you haven't it's been causing chaos over the past few weeks across Europe.

Over six days, hundreds of flights were cancelled after a huge ash cloud drifted in and out of UK airspace.

It has sent huge clouds of volcanic ash into the air, which has meant hundreds of flights have been cancelled because it's too dangerous to fly.

The eruption, under a glacier in the Eyjafjallajoekull area of Iceland, is the second there in less than a month.

The ash contains tiny bits of rock, glass and sand which could jam aircraft engines.

The oil slick is arriving in the USA.


Oil from a massive spillage in the Gulf of Mexico has reached the coastline of Louisiana - causing a state of emergency to be called. It happened after an oil rig exploded last week. Since then, around five-thousand barrels of oil a day have been pouring into the sea. That oil is moving towards wetland areas which are home to many birds and other marine life. Mark Stebly lives in Louisiana - he says this will have a big impact in an area that depends so much on its fishing industry.....

"When the oil settles to the bottom it's going to completely smother out the grass beds and the oyster reefs. Shrimp populations are going to be decimated. I mean it's just, people don't realise the reaches this could have, from Florida to Texas."
