4.What would you say you do when you hang out with mates?
5.List five body parts (in Cockney)
6.What are you wearing at the moment (in Cockney)?
7.What do you say when you feel happy (or cheerful), sad (or depressed), tired (or exhausted), in love?Provide some examples:

9.Where and how often do you speak Cockney?
