Voice Recognition in a Lift !

     On Friday, we saw this video, which talks about 2 scottish men who take a lift where there aren't any buttons to change floors, but above them, on the ceiling, there is one kind of box : a speech recognizer ! So they selected the floor they want to go.. No answer, just :"Could you please repeat that?". They do it again.. No answer again too, because these men have a scotish accent witch is too strong. They imitate therefore other accents : American, that's rather an irish accent ; English that's like a Dutch person who is speaking English. The robot answers that : "Could you please repeat that?" again and again.

     They become annoyed and angry so they begin to say that it's always the same thing, the robot never obeys neither understands Scottish accent. One of these men makes threats to the machine, and says that he will go to America to kill its creator ! It is ridiculous because it's just a machine ! Even if it's just a machine, these men are locked in the lift and can't go out ! They scream " Scotland" and "Freedom", one man is on the back of the other and suddently .. the door is opening before a confused group of people !

Don't forget the preposition when talking about a day of the week, "On Friday".
We would also rather say "a strong Scottish accent" or "a Scottish accent which is too strong" - remember placement of the adjective with respect to the noun.

Nice summary though! I like that you included your thoughts about the video clip as well. I agree, they are quite ridiculous!

Good job!
