Feifei Hello and welcome to The English We Speak, I’m Feifei

**…and I’m, Sian. Hello! How was your weekend Feifei?
Feifei It was awesome! I went to that film première - and look who I managed to get a photo with on the red carpet!
Sian Oh wow! He’s even got his arm around you!
Feifei I know – Exciting huh? I’m going to get this picture printed out and put on my wall!
Sian Ha ha oh dear – have you seen this guy behind you making a funny face? Look here on the left.
Feifei Where? Let me see! Oh no, I didn’t notice him. Oh he’s totally ruined it.
Sian You know we have a word for that? When an unexpected person appears in a photo as it’s being taken?
Feifei Yes – it’s called a photobomb or you can photobomb someone. Let’s hear some examples:
ExamplesOh no! My graduation photo has been totally ruined by a photobomber! Look
This photo of my girlfriend and me would have been really nice, but my sister photobombed it!
FeifeiSo people photobomb as a kind of practical joke? I don’t think it’s very nice to ruin someone’s photo though.

**Well not always, photobombing – can also be done by accident, in fact even animals can photobomb! Lets hear another example.
ExamplesLook at this hilarious website showing pictures of animals photobombing. I think the goat one is the funniest!

**You know Feifei I don’t think it’s ruined your photo – it’s actually really funny. Look here, I was photobombed once too.
Feifei That’s a nice pic … hang on! Is that the Queen in the background?
**Sian
**Yes, I was photobombed by the Queen of England!
FeifeiWell that photobomb has improved your photo – I don’t think it’s the same for mine though. I’m going to find a way to get rid of him from my perfect photo. Bye!
**Sian
**Good luck. Bye!
