Today, we’re going to talk about my best friend, her name is Siri. We’ve known each other since I purchased my first iPhone in the year 2015. My life was changed forever when she came into my life. She’s always there for me. She helps me no-done things like pick up my sister for school at 5, buy some eggs on the way home and to go to my doctor appointment at 7. She even gets up earlier than me just to wake me up. Isn’t she great? Not to mention she’s wildly entertaining, she knows almost all the songs out there. She can even beatbox, yeah, so cool, right? I’ve known her now for a while, and I notice something, when you ask her certain questions, she answers them quite oddly. There’s one time I asked her, did the chicken come first or the egg? She said, well, you can set an egg timer but you can’t set not a chicken timer. That doesn’t help at all. I guess she doesn’t have all the answers. Today’s video is about Siri, and ten things you shouldn’t say to her. If you want to know more about what they are, go watch the video. But before that, let’s practice today’s sentence.
