0:00:32 > 0:00:36It is with much pleasure that I greet you,
0:00:36 > 0:00:40the representatives from the parliaments of all the lands within
0:00:40 > 0:00:44our Commonwealth family of nations which enjoy responsible government.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52It has different ties of race, faith, language and finance,
0:00:52 > 0:00:54and yet the Commonwealth is there.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58It cannot be stated exactly but it lives and works.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Well, it should mean the relations between everybody
0:01:04 > 0:01:06of sharing and giving and taking.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13We do all we can to strengthen our ties with the Commonwealth
0:01:13 > 0:01:16countries because we believe that the Commonwealth has a decisive role
0:01:16 > 0:01:20to play in the cause of peace in the world.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Where did you get those freckles from?- I'm from Buronga.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29That's miles away from here.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41WHISTLE BLOWS
0:01:44 > 0:01:46THEY CHEER
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Time to go to school. And this is Canada's most unusual school bus.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11When the seagoing school bus first made its appearance in 1947,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13it was quite a novelty.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Now it's just routine.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18In this school district
0:02:18 > 0:02:20transportation has always been a big problem,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24with 120 pupils scattered thinly over 1,400 square miles
0:02:24 > 0:02:27of jagged coasts and little islands.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Most are fishermen's children
0:02:30 > 0:02:32and the waters that provide their fathers' livelihood
0:02:32 > 0:02:36also add to the difficulties of getting an education.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Without the Romany and four other sea buses, it would be harder still.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45But despite it all, the teachers say that hardly anybody plays hooky in
0:02:45 > 0:02:49this rugged part of British Columbia where the school bus is a boat.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Joseph Chepkwony is 13 and he lives in Kenya.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Just as a Welsh schoolboy may dream of being a rugby international,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04a black American another Muhammad Ali,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07so Joseph emulates his country's great runners.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27It's an interesting fact but it's extraordinary
0:03:27 > 0:03:29that over half of Kenyan's established athletes
0:03:29 > 0:03:32still come from two particular tribes.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Staggering, at least, until you remember
0:03:34 > 0:03:36that as for so many others,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39his school is four miles from the family shamba, or farm,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42and the quickest way is across the fields.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Running free with good air, plenty of sun and time on your own
0:03:47 > 0:03:49is not a bad childhood for an aspiring athlete.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00The continent of India lies to the southwest of China...
0:04:02 > 0:04:04..and to the south of Russia.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Calcutta. Early morning.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26In Calcutta's streets, they find nothing strange in gathering
0:04:26 > 0:04:29round their teachers on the pavement with their slates.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32There's nowhere else to go.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Many of them have no homes anyway.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41What is the good of going to school?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44The good of going to school, sir,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47if you go to school we go to the straight line.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49If we doesn't go to school, we've got a crooked line, sir.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51What do you mean by that?
0:04:51 > 0:04:56That means by if you go to school, we be the good and gentleman,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59gentleman and good and kind boy.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04And if we don't go to school, sir, it means we will disobedient boy,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08naughty boy, dirty, filthy boy, loafers of the roads.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13So, my mother and father says that's the time to pull up your socks
0:05:13 > 0:05:17and if the socks goes down, there's no more chance
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- to pull up your socks. - What do they mean by that?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Sir, mean by that this is your chance,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25this is a chance to learn and learn.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04For over 30 years, the Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe
0:06:04 > 0:06:07has been at the forefront of African literature.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Achebe's early novels, which redefine a Nigerian
0:06:13 > 0:06:18and an African identity, are a part of every Nigerian child's education,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22even though his later works are often critical of the modern state.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28# Arise, o compatriots
0:06:28 > 0:06:32# Nigeria's call obey
0:06:33 > 0:06:37# To serve our fatherland
0:06:37 > 0:06:42# With love and strength and faith
0:06:42 > 0:06:45# The labour of our heroes past... #
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Arrow Of God is the story of the chief priest, Ezeulu.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Ezeulu wins the respect of the white administrators
0:06:54 > 0:06:56when he takes a reasonable stance in a land dispute
0:06:56 > 0:06:59that threatens to bring his people into conflict
0:06:59 > 0:07:01with the nearby town of Okperi.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- People still scramble for land, isn't that so?- ALL: It is.- It is.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10And in this chapter, chapter two of The Arrow Of God,
0:07:10 > 0:07:15we are going to see how the people tried to settle their problem
0:07:15 > 0:07:20of land dispute between them and their neighbouring town, Okperi.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26"Let everyone return to his house if you have no heart in the fight.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30"We shall not be the first people who abandoned their farmland
0:07:30 > 0:07:33"or even their homestead to avoid war.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37"But let us not tell ourselves or our children that we did it
0:07:37 > 0:07:40"because the land belonged to other people."
0:07:40 > 0:07:42SHE RECITES
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Some trains carry people, some carry freight.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55But this one, of all things, carries book learning.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59It has only two permanent passengers -
0:07:59 > 0:08:01the teacher and his wife -
0:08:01 > 0:08:04and it's their home all through the school season.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08For this is the little red schoolhouse on wheels.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10At Nicholson in northern Ontario,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13youngsters tramp across miles of snow-covered fields
0:08:13 > 0:08:16to attend the mobile classroom.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19They are the sons and daughters of railroaders, woodsmen,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21trappers - men whose work takes them
0:08:21 > 0:08:24to places where there just aren't any regular schools.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27So, school comes to the children
0:08:27 > 0:08:30in the form of a specially converted railroad car.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Are you ready to read to me today? Over.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48What page would you like? Over.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Will you read to me from the picnic page?
0:08:51 > 0:08:57Just start the story and read the first four lines. Over.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03"Everybody," said Tom, "I have a...splendid plan.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11"Why not have a picnic...next week?"
0:09:12 > 0:09:15The school reaches about 50 children scattered over
0:09:15 > 0:09:17an area as large as Britain.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I asked Gary's mother how her children
0:09:19 > 0:09:22compared to those of normal schools.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Well, they seem to be streets ahead of the schoolchildren.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I think it is because they're an individual
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- and they're taught just... - Just for themselves.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Just for themselves.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Whereas a teacher in town has 30 or 40 children
0:09:34 > 0:09:38and they can't give them that same attention, can they?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Tall oaks from little acorns grow.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55This saying may well be applied to human beings
0:09:55 > 0:09:58as they develop from infants to adults.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01The best possible form of education is provided
0:10:01 > 0:10:04and the courses are broadened
0:10:04 > 0:10:08to include subjects like woodwork,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10metalwork.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Students learn to make useful household articles.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Agriculture is an important part of the course.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Pupils are taught to understand the problems of farming,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28and arithmetic.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31This subject is often introduced to pupils in projects
0:10:31 > 0:10:34like playing shop, which give them opportunities for learning
0:10:34 > 0:10:38the value and use of money, as well as developing habits of courtesy.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53In 1954, Anthony Burgess travelled to the Far East
0:10:53 > 0:10:56to take a job as a housemaster in a Malayan private school.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59It was accident rather than design that took him there -
0:10:59 > 0:11:01when he first applied to the post
0:11:01 > 0:11:03he thought it was in the Channel Islands.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07He was 37 years old, a badly paid teacher who had written
0:11:07 > 0:11:11two unpublished novels but still thought of himself as a composer.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Malaya changed him.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19This is the place where I taught,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22the Malay College in the town of Kuala Kangsar.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26It was founded in 1905 as a kind of British public school
0:11:26 > 0:11:30for the sons of Malay sultans and rajas and chiefs.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33The Eton of the East, it was called.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Residential with a house system, a school uniform and a Latin motto.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Instruction in English, of course. Cricket, rugby football, hockey.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56House loyalty, lifelong devotion to the alma mater.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01HE RECITES A PRAYER
0:12:03 > 0:12:05The Malay people were against it at first,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08fearing infidel contamination of the Muslim faith.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11The sultans and the rajas were for it -
0:12:11 > 0:12:14if the Malay aristocracy could not learn to marry their native culture
0:12:14 > 0:12:16to the bigger culture of the West,
0:12:16 > 0:12:20they'd never see Malaya rise into the ranks of the nations.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25There had to be bigger horizons than those of the river and the jungle
0:12:25 > 0:12:28and so they were sent here, the young aristocrats of Singapore,
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Penang, Malacca, Selangor, Kelantan, Trengganu, Negri Sembilan
0:12:32 > 0:12:36and all the other states, to be stuffed with British learning
0:12:36 > 0:12:39but to keep their Muslim faith intact.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Soon the college was democratised.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47The son of a paddy planter or fisherman or village medicine man
0:12:47 > 0:12:51was welcome, so long as he was bright and earnest enough.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56The college still flourishes but the British who built it have gone.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17When the children walked into the room that day,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19they had no idea that we, the camera crew,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22had set up our equipment in their class.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27We wanted to see how they'd react to this new experience.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31That's how children learn in a kindergarten - through experience.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35What do you see that you didn't see before? Anything?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39At first the children seemed shy
0:13:39 > 0:13:42and didn't quite know what to make of the new situation.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Come on in now and meet these people.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49First of all, this gentleman here is Mr Spartan.
0:13:49 > 0:13:55Say good afternoon to him, will you? ALL: Good afternoon, Mr Spartan.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03THEY GIGGLE
0:14:04 > 0:14:07PIANO MUSIC PAYS
0:14:07 > 0:14:10BELL RINGS
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Good afternoon, girls and boys. ALL: Good afternoon, Mrs Giles.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Has anyone any news they'd like to tell today?
0:14:19 > 0:14:24- Meryl.- Once, in our building, there was two boys,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27they got stuck in the elevator
0:14:27 > 0:14:31and then they had to wait there for six hours.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36- Did they? That would be a long time. - They couldn't even breathe.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38They have to keep their breath.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41What did they do if they couldn't breathe?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44We have to breathe all the time. Larry?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47In the newspaper, two boys were playing tag on the road
0:14:47 > 0:14:50and they got killed and died.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55- They did. - They're not alive now, they're dead.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I guess that'll be a lesson to all of us not to do that. ALL: Yes.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07The governor of Victoria, Sir Dallas Brooks,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10gets a warm welcome from officials and children at the opening
0:15:10 > 0:15:13of the Lord Mayor's country children's holiday camp at Portsea.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Many of the children come from areas where
0:15:15 > 0:15:19there may be dietary deficiency and this is soon remedied.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Well-balanced diets and plenty of good, rich, simple food
0:15:22 > 0:15:26build up the youngsters in their 12-day visit to the seaside.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Three square meals help the day go round.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42And in the schools throughout Hong Kong,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45children enjoy equally loving care and attention.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47No shortage of food for them.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51They're sure enough of their next meal to ask for more at this.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Children everywhere are growing up in more enlightened world.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Nourishing milk for the children of India
0:15:57 > 0:15:59is one of the fruits of today.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Today, when science goes hand-in-hand with everyday life.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11The Selangor Children's Home shelters children who are homeless.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Some are orphans, some were abandoned by their parents,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16some were born in the jungle
0:16:16 > 0:16:19and then left by the terrorists by the roadside
0:16:19 > 0:16:22and some are here whose parents cannot provide for them
0:16:22 > 0:16:24because of sickness or poverty.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28For almost every person that dies in India, three babies are born.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30At the moment the population is increasing
0:16:30 > 0:16:32at the rate of 12 million a year.
0:16:32 > 0:16:3512 million extra mouths to feed in a country
0:16:35 > 0:16:38which can barely support the 520 million she has already.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- How are you?- Dudley Gardiner is 58, a retired British Army major
0:16:43 > 0:16:47who has given both his pension and his life to helping others.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51With the help of the Salvation Army, Oxfam and a Canadian charity,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54he personally feeds 2,000 people a day, every day.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57They might not be fed at all if he didn't.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00What is your baby's name? HE SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Oh. There we are.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Now, you see, the trouble with these little babies are
0:17:13 > 0:17:16that they're so very, very small when they're born.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19They're strong enough but they are so very, very small.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Look, look, look, look.- Do many of them suffer from malnutrition?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26They do, when they are very, very young but if they survive
0:17:26 > 0:17:29until they're 12 months old then they develop into bouncers.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Get out the way, please. Mind, mind, mind, mind.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42A great pioneer movement, the Far West Homes
0:17:42 > 0:17:45brings hundreds of children from the distant inland to the sea.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It's their first sight, too, of a big city,
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- and this is what they think of it. - Hello, kids, how are you?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Where do you come from?- Morwell. - Where's that? Far away?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58The other side of Navarro.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01How do you like the big city, seeing it for the first time?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Pretty good sort of place.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Is it like it is way back where you come from?- No.- How do you mean?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- How is it different? - Well, here, you see,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- when you want to go anywhere you have to get all dressed up.- Yes.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Up home that's more you just have to put a shirt on,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- a pair of shorts and wash your feet and go wherever you want to.- I see.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- Once you've watched your feet you're off, hey?- Yes.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Where did you get those freckles from?- I'm from Buronga.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- That's miles away from here.- You're a long way from home, aren't you?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Yes.- Would you rather live up there at Buronga or down here in Sydney?
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- In Buronga.- Why do you say that? - It's too noisy up here.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Would any of you like to invite me to your house in the country sometime?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43ALL: Yeah!
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I'll remember that! Goodbye, kids. See you again.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Sunrise in Port-of-Spain on Sunday morning.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Half an hour later, people are on their way to church.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Two out of three Trinidadians are Christians
0:19:10 > 0:19:12and more than half of these are Catholics.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Whenever you see these flags you can be certain
0:19:22 > 0:19:24you are by a Hindu temple,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26for many Trinidadians who came originally from India
0:19:26 > 0:19:29still keep the Hindu faith.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32It's a Hindu Sunday school and the service has started.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35THEY SING
0:19:56 > 0:20:01They haven't had their breakfast and the smaller ones are still sleepy.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Nearly everybody in Trinidad goes to church except the youngest ones.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19When you have been to church you can play,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22get out your roller-skates or perhaps go to a party.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25# I thought I saw my pussycat... #
0:20:25 > 0:20:29That's Auntie Kay of Trinidad Radio's Children's Hour.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31The party is in her back garden.
0:20:31 > 0:20:37# Just as I was making sure there came a young lady... #
0:20:37 > 0:20:40In Trinidad, we love to dance and sing
0:20:40 > 0:20:43and the children are dancing to a popular calypso.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46# It's my birthday
0:20:46 > 0:20:48# She says, it's my birthday
0:20:48 > 0:20:51# She says, it's my birthday... #
0:20:51 > 0:20:54HE WHISTLES
0:20:54 > 0:20:59That's Carlene. Her mother is Portuguese, her father is Chinese.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04That's Elizabeth. She is partly Negro, Portuguese and Spanish.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07One more time. # It's my birthday. #
0:21:07 > 0:21:11And young Ian. He is pure Negro.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17In fact, at any Trinidad party you can find children
0:21:17 > 0:21:20of half a dozen races enjoying themselves.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31When Australia's 4,000 city schools close for the day,
0:21:31 > 0:21:37or the week, or the year, what becomes of their 700,000 pupils?
0:21:37 > 0:21:42There's two-way traffic on the speedway, any side you like.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Skipping doesn't even slow the party down,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46or the skippers for that matter.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Few big cities have playing space enough for all the children so they
0:21:51 > 0:21:55make their own and if the street's on a slope, you move the faster.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Not so many years ago, wooden swords
0:22:01 > 0:22:03and heroes in armour were the fashion.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Nowadays it's the cowboy suit and the six shooter
0:22:06 > 0:22:08which open the door to adventure.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12We're ambushed! Make for that rock! Let them have it!
0:22:12 > 0:22:14GUNSHOTS SOUND
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- AS COWBOY:- Jammed again!
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Whoa there, Silver!
0:22:23 > 0:22:25It's all in fun.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28But on the streets it can be dangerous fun
0:22:28 > 0:22:31for even the sharpest youngster, as any hospital will tell you.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Small children in the company of adults
0:22:46 > 0:22:50should be placed in the more protected position, on the inside,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53as there is a tendency for young children
0:22:53 > 0:22:55to wander into the middle of the road.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Teachers are as concerned over the safety of the children
0:23:04 > 0:23:07placed under their care as our parents
0:23:07 > 0:23:09and every opportunity is taken
0:23:09 > 0:23:13to impress the importance of road safety.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Stepping out from behind a parked vehicle without first making
0:23:20 > 0:23:24quite sure it is safe to do so can be extremely dangerous.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28These two lads decided to play it safe.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33But is it ever safe to play on the street?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36It's unsportsmanlike and very dangerous, too.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41To you as well as to passers-by.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Apart from the inconvenience of having to stop
0:23:43 > 0:23:49so often for passing traffic, it is not considerate to other road users.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53It is better for everybody if you take your game off the road
0:23:53 > 0:23:57to the safety of your own back yard, to the community playing field
0:23:57 > 0:24:02or park, where there is enough space for games of every sort.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32City baths are crowded throughout the long Australian summers
0:24:32 > 0:24:35and learning to swim well is an essential part
0:24:35 > 0:24:37of the general high spirits.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Sound training does nothing to lessen the fun or the keenness.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Classes for the deaf, the dumb and blind
0:24:51 > 0:24:55have for many years been the special care
0:24:55 > 0:24:57and pride of stout-hearted volunteers
0:24:57 > 0:25:01who have given many of these young people the freedom of the water.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Though they are skilled in lip-reading,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15fingers are still used sometimes to help one another with the lessons.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Once in the water,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20disabilities are forgotten in the sheer joy of the moment.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30By a roadside temple in India, the old man, Chan,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33passes on his skills as an entertainer.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47He teaches his nephew, Mustafa Rafiq,
0:25:47 > 0:25:51have to mesmerise an audience with the simplest of means.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10In India, we have countless thousand
0:26:10 > 0:26:13performers like Chan and Mustafa Rafiq.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22They travel from village to village, sometimes invited
0:26:22 > 0:26:26but mostly arriving by chance, hoping that they will be welcome.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Almost always they are.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35These are the people who turn every village square
0:26:35 > 0:26:37into a living theatre.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41HE SPEAKS LOCAL LANGUAGE
0:27:06 > 0:27:08THEY LAUGH
0:27:12 > 0:27:15The last official act of the day
0:27:15 > 0:27:18is when the teacher reads them one of their favourite stories.
0:27:19 > 0:27:25"And the bunny woke up and was never alone again."
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- BELL RINGS - Look at the time.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Do you think we should go home? - MANY: Yes.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Miss Sharp, you know what?
0:27:35 > 0:27:39My sister, you know what she has? A beautiful riving...
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- a living room. Beautiful.- Is it?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45And she didn't have no television but now she has one.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50Why is her living room beautiful? What makes it beautiful?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Well, almost everything, almost. - Really?
0:27:55 > 0:27:58What colours has she in her living room?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I think kind of yellow.
0:28:00 > 0:28:06- Do you like that colour?- Yeah. - I do, too. Bye, darling.- Goodbye.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Goodbye, Dawn. Goodbye.
