Two beginning English students went to Honolulu on holiday. Soon they began to argueDISAGREE LOUDLY OR STRONGLY about the correct way to pronounce the word "Hawaii."

One student insisted that it's Hawaii, with a "w" sound. The other student said it was pronounced like "Havaii," with a "v" sound.

Finally, they sawNOTICED OR LOOKED AT an old native on the beachSANDY AREA NEXT TO THE SEA, and asked him which was correct.

The old man said it's "Havaii." The student who was rightCORRECT OR NOT WRONG was very happy, and thanked the old man.

The old man said "you're velcome."

Let's look at these three: insisted, pronounced, and velcome (joke spelling).
  • She insisted on paying for the meal, even though it was his birthday.
  • The word “colonel” is pronounced very differently from how it’s written.
  • “Velcome” is a joke spelling of “welcome,” imitating a foreign accent.
This joke uses direct speech to show what the characters say exactly. It also includes examples of the past simple like “saw” and “said,” which is often used to tell stories and describe completed actions in the past.
  • He said, “It’s going to rain.”
  • They went to the shop yesterday.
  • We asked a local for directions.
