We asked a class of 13 year olds to write a telephone conversation in English. They had a few hints but could basically write anything they liked. This led to some hilarious situations. The following was one of my favourites... The conversation was between Michael and Saramandora...
Michael : Hello, this is Michael. Can I speak to Saramandora?
Saramandora : Speaking.
Michael : Oh!! Hi Saramandora. How are you?
Saramandora : Um... I'm sad.
Michael : What's the matter?
Saramandora : Awww, my heart is broken.
Michael : Oh, too bad. By the way, will you come to a movie with me tonight?
Saramandora : Oh, um, oh, um, ok, yes.
Michael : Oh, really? Let's go tonight. I will pick you up at 11.
Saramandora : Oh, thank you. See you then.
Michael : Wait...
Saramandora : Yes?
Michael : Um. Um. Um. Um. Ah. Um, I love you.
Saramandora : Um, um, I love you too.

Saramandora? I wish my kids had this much imagination! That is fantastic.
My guess is that they learn Engerish from Aussies. No other language has that many Er's and Um's!
i feel the love...
