1 leaves: "Leaves" are the flat, green parts of a plant that absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Note the singular form of leaves is "leaf". Also, in English, "leaves" don't generally refer to pieces of "paper". We use the terms "sheet" or "piece" to describe a single unit of paper.
2 chop: To "chop (a tree)" is to cut it into small pieces. Example: I will chop the vegetables if you clean the saucepan. To "chop down" a tree means to "cut" it down using a saw or an axe to separate the trunk of the tree from its roots. In his e-mail, Warbuckle writes "We can even chop down some trees if I can find my chainsaw". He is inviting Bruno to go and cut down some trees.
3 chainsaw: A "saw" is a flat piece of metal with a sharp edge used to cut up pieces of wood. A "chainsaw" is a "saw" with a "chain" attached to an engine that cuts wood very quickly and easily. In the text, Warbuckle says "hell we can even chop down some trees if I can find my chainsaw".
4 rifle: A "rifle" is a large gun designed for shooting across great distances. It is one of the most common guns used for hunting. The rifle is distinguished by its long barrel and often features a "scope" or "telescopic sight" which can be used to target animals from a distance. In the text, Warbuckle tells Bruno not to forget "to bring a pair of swimming trunks and a rifle", so that Bruno will be able to both swim and hunt.
5 swimming trunks: Swimming trunks are "shorts" worn by men when swimming. Women wear swimming costumes (UK) swimsuits or bathing suits (US). In the text, Warbuckle tells Bruno not to forget "to bring a pair of swimming trunks and a rifle".
