Hello,

I'm having trouble understanding what is being said in the audio clips.
I'd appreciate it if you could listen to the linked audio and fill in the gaps + correct any errors if you'd be so kind.

Woman: There wasn't anything to indicate that my son would go and kill himself.
Woman: ... his weekly pass to go to work.
Woman: There was 20 pounds in his sack when he was found.
Woman: That's not a child who intends to take his own life.
Man: ... intended to do that.
Man: You don't keep your money, do you?
Man: ... next week's ticket.
Woman: We used to climb, and he used to do pranks ...
Woman: ... into declining
Woman: Did he fall? Was it a prank that went wrong?

Yes! I read it and changed my info accordingly. Don't I sound like a Pole to you? :-D But seriously, why is it so important where I'm posting it from anyway? You don't help people from certain parts of the world? Is that it? :)
 
People from different places may use English differently. Knowing where you're located gives other members a hint about what kind of usage you may be exposed to.
 
... there was anything to indicate that my son would go and kill himself.

This happened on the weekend and on the Monday then he buys his weekly pass to go to work.

There was twenty pounds down his sock when he was found.

That's not somebody who was out intending to do that.

You know—for your next week's ticket.

He used to do pranks [and things, he ...]

So I'm thinking—did he climb and did he fall?


I'm not sure about the part in square brackets.
