We can see three words (wannabe, bucket, bouquet), their pronunciation and their definition.

The following video, taken from the BBC, is about the main character of a 1990s TV -comedy show. Her name is Hyacinth Bucket. She usually has a problem getting people to accept her own pronunciation of her surname.

Please, watch the video and answer these questions:

1-Why do people pronounce Hyacinth’s surname differently from the way she pronounces it?

2-Why does Hyacinth pronounce her surname that way?

3-How can you join the words “wannabe”, “bucket” and “bouquet” to explain Hyacinth’s attitude?

4-Why is this video funny?
