Complete Brian's notes about the properties of the materials.

MATERIAL:	NOTES:
1. Glass 1	completely [not done] shattered 2, too brittle.
2. Nickel 3	too soft, large dent in Mr Delavigne's head; legs all [not done] twisted 4
3. Titanium 5	no damage at all - it practically [not done] bounced 6, this material is light and tough

1 Glass: This is correct. The first miniature statue is made out of glass. Jackson says that glass is too "brittle". If something is "brittle", it is hard but easily broken.

1 Nickel: Oops! Nickel is the second statue dropped by Jackson.

1 Titanium: Oops! Titanium is the third statue dropped by Jackson.

2 shattered: "To shatter" means to break into small pieces. Example: The vase completely SHATTERED when it fell on the floor. Fragile materials like glass often "shatter" when they break.

3 Nickel: This is correct. The second miniature statue is made out of nickel. Nickel is a silver-white metal used in making some types of steel and other alloys.

3 Glass: Didn't you hear? The first miniature statue is made out of glass!

3 Titanium: Nope! Titanium is the third statue dropped by Jackson!

4 twisted: "To twist" something means to turn, bend or interlace something, usually into a particular shape. Example: The sculptor TWISTED the wire into the shape of a man. However, if something is "twisted", it usually turned or bent into a shape that is not natural. Example: After the accident, the roof of the car was all TWISTED. In the conversation, Jackson says that Bruno's legs are "all twisted". This means that the impact of the fall has (severely) bent Bruno's legs into an unnatural shape.

5 Titanium: This is correct. The third miniature statue is made out of titanium. Titanium is a silver-white metal that combines strength and lightness. As Jackson says: "Titanium is light and tough - that's why they make airplanes out of this stuff!".

5 Nickel: Sorry, the second statue dropped by Jackson is made out of nickel.

5 Glass: Didn't you hear? The first miniature statue is made out of glass!

6 bounced: If an object "bounces" it moves quickly away from a surface after hitting it. The classic example is a ball bouncing. Example: In basketball, the players have to BOUNCE the ball when they move with it. When Jackson drops the statue made of titanium, he says that it "practically bounces". Apparently, this material is so robust that it isn't damaged when it hits the ground, but almost bounces like a ball!
