Callum Oh, hello, Feifei. Already here to present The English We Speak.
Feifei What do you mean by 'already here', Callum?! And what are all these bags you have with you?
Callum Shopping.
Feifei Shopping?! I'm here in the studio, waiting for you and you went shopping?! This is absurd.
Callum Oh, come on, Feifei, we still have a couple of minutes to go. Don't be such a drama queen!
Feifei Drama queen?!
Callum Yes, drama queen! We say someone is a drama queen when he or she becomes very angry or upset over tiny small things like…
Feifei … like you being late…
Callum Not late - shopping. Now, let's hear some examples of how the expression 'drama queen' is used.
Examples A: Oh, it's raining and my new hairdo is ruined! All those hours in the hairdresser for nothing! B: Don't be such a drama queen. Here, take my umbrella.
I'm not dining out with Peter anymore. If the dish is not cooked exactly the way he likes he makes a big fuss. He's such a drama queen!
Callum That's it, Feifei. And now, here, in my bag…
Feifei What, now you're going to sort out your shopping?
Callum This is for you, Feifei!
Feifei Oh, a present for me?! Oh… you shouldn't have…
Callum You didn't want people to know it's your birthday, but… well, happy birthday, Feifei!
Feifei Ohhh! I don't know what to say… I guess I'll have to take back my words. Thank you, Callum. You know what? We can make the programme a bit later. Let's celebrate!
