Hello. Welcome again to Study English, IELTS preparation. I'm Margot Politis.

Today we'll look at some words that cause a lot of confusion - the relative pronouns
0:26
'that', 'which' and 'who', and then we'll do some pronunciation practice.
0:30
But first, let's listen to some people talk about a very dangerous tourist attraction
0:36
from Australia's Northern Territory.
0:41
People have always been fascinated with death. Most of the mysteries that you see on television,
0:46
the films that you see, involve murder in one kind or another. Crocodiles are one of
0:50
the last remaining dinosaurs and the idea of a crocodile coming out of the water and
0:54
grabbing somebody is absolutely riveting.
0:58
I read about the death of the German tourist who was taken by a crocodile. It didn't put
1:04
me off coming to the Northern Territory, quite the opposite in fact.
1:07
I think the NT is famous for its crocodiles and probably quite famous for its crocodile
1:13
attacks and that tourists who come here would like to be, or feel as though they were, involved
1:18
in that danger.
1:19
Tourists want to have a story to take home and if they can say that they were in the
1:26
Northern Territory where the German tourist was taken by the croc, then it adds to their
1:31
own adventure.
1:33
So he thinks people may actually be attracted to the Northern Territory because of the dangerous
1:38
crocodiles.
1:40
But now we're going to leave the crocodiles, and talk about something else that can be
1:44
dangerous - the relative pronouns 'who', 'which' and 'that'.
1:49
Listen for some relative pronouns here.
1:54
People have always been fascinated with death. Most of the mysteries that you see on TV,
1:58
the films that you see, involve murder of one kind or another.
2:02
I read about the death of the German tourist who was taken by a crocodile.
2:08
Most of the mysteries 'that' you see on TV involve murders.
