Here are the scripts of the conversation.

People have always been fascinated with death. Most of the mysteries that you see on television, the film that you see, involve murder in one kind or another.

Crocodiles are one of the last remaining dinosaurs and the idea of a crocodile coming out of the water and grabbing somebody is absolutely riveting.

I read about the death of the German tourist who was taken by a crocodile. It didn’t put me off coming to the Northern territory, quite the opposite in fact.

I think the NT is famous for its crocodiles and probably quite famous for its crocodiles attack and that tourist who come here would like to be, of feel as though they were, involved in that danger.

Tourist want to have a story to take home and if they can say that they were in the Northern Territory where the German tourist was taken by the croc, then it adds to their own adventure.

Most of the mysteries ‘that’ you see on TV involve murders.

I read about the death of the tourist ‘who’ was taken by a crocodile.
Relative pronouns are used to introduce adjective clauses

• a.   I read about the death of the tourist who was taken by a crocodile.
• b.   …. tourist (NOUN) who was taken by a crocodile (ADJECTIVE CLAUSE)

The tourist is subject. The ‘who clause’ gives more information

here are other example:

But how do we choose between who, which or that?

Well the relative pronoun WHO is only used with people

WHICH is only used with thing

THAT is usually only used with the thing as well. Sometimes, in informal language, it can refer to people.

Let’s play game

the first sentence is to express the activity happening right now and the second sentence is the expression of intention (to do something in the future) How to express the intention, look at the folowing clip

Lily	:	Nice to meet you, Debbie. My name's Lily. Sit down. Would you like some juice?

Debbie	:	Thanks.
Lily	:	Now, tell me about yourself.
Debbie	:	Like what? I'm not very interesting really.
Lily	:	Nonsense. What's that bracelet you're wearing? That's pretty.
Debbie	:	This? Do you like it?
Lily	:	Yes. It's lovely. Do you like clothes and fashion?
Debbie	:	Yeah. Lots!
Lily	:	How nice! So do I!
