1 digest: "Digesting" is the process of breaking down or decomposing food in the stomach. The verb can also be used figuratively to describe "processing information", as in the sentence: "I'm still digesting the news he gave us". In this broadcast, Stephanie Irving reports that "koalas have a very slow metabolism, and it takes them hours to digest." This means that when koalas eat food, it takes a long time for their bodies to process it.
2 whisper: To "whisper" means to talk in a quiet, low or soft voice so that not a lot of noise is made, and you cannot be heard from longer distances. In this broadcast, Stephanie is talking quietly so that she does not disturb the sleeping koalas. Brent asks her, "Why are you whispering, Stephanie? Should I whisper too?". The "h" in "whisper" is not pronounced.
3 take: With the noun "nap", the verb "take" is used. For example: I take a nap everyday on the bus home. We also take a break, or take five, both of which mean to have a pause.
4 nap: A "nap" is a short sleep, often taken during the day. In this broadcast, Stephanie tells Moira that the koala which fell off the tree is now climbing up the tree again "probably to take a little nap." This means that the koala is going back up the tree in order to sleep again.
5 climb: The verb "to climb" describes the act of ascending or going up something, such as a tree or mountain. We can use the infinitive form of the verb (without "to") following the auxiliary construction "Did you see". In this broadcast, Stephanie reports that after falling, the koala is once again "climbing up the tree". She means that the koala which fell is now ascending the tree once more. Although there is a "b" at the end of the verb "to climb", it is not pronounced. The term sounds like "clime"!
