Question about English (UK)
Dudley had already broken his new cine-camera, crashed his remote control airplane, and, first time out on his racing bike, knocked down old Mrs. Figg as she crossed Privet Drive on her crutches. Does this sound natural?

A little unnatural
Be careful with 'airplane'. You pronounced 'aeroplane' which has an extra syllable in it. 'Airplane' has two syllables 'air' and 'plain' but 'aeroplane' has an extra 'o' sound in the middle :)
