0:00 6 Minute English.
0:02 From BBC Learning English.
0:05 Hello. This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Neil.
0:10 And I'm Beth.
0:11 In this programme, we'll be discussing the dinner table, but we're not interested in food.
0:17 We're talking about talking!
0:20 A lot can happen around the dinner table — gossip, arguments.
0:24 You might meet the love of your life on a blind dinner date or find out you're a great storyteller.
0:31 Neil, when you were younger, did you eat with your family around a dinner table?
0:35 We did! Eating at the table was an important ritual.
0:39 It was something we did every day and, quite often, it was the only time we could get together and chat.
0:45 I think there's something very comforting about eating good food and being with the people you're closest to and now I do the same with my own family.
0:54 The kids are more likely to 'open up' — 'talk more easily' — about their day or something troubling them while they're eating.
1:01 Well, the dinner table is a space that families across the world get together at to not only eat, but chat, and is often the only point in the day or week that the whole family gathers together.
1:15 In this programme, we'll be discussing how people behave at the table, and, of course, we'll be learning some useful new vocabulary as well.
1:23 But first, I have a question for you, Beth.
1:25 In 2016, a couple from Germany won the world record for the fastest time to set a dinner table.
1:33 But, how long did it take them?
1:35 Was it a) 25 seconds?
1:38 b) one minute and five seconds?
1:40 Or c) two minutes and five seconds?
1:43 Surely not 25 seconds!
1:46 I will guess one minute, five seconds.
1:48 OK, Beth, I'll reveal the answer later in the programme.
1:52 Now, while eating with a group, you might feel that you need to act in a certain way because of the people around you.
1:59 Philippa Perry, a psychotherapist and author, thinks we should try to be ourselves as much as possible, as she told BBC World Service programme The Food Chain.
2:10 In any group, we find a role and, if we're only in one group, if we're only ever with our family, we might think, "Oh, I'm the funny one, he's the wise one".
2:22 We might think that's who we are.
2:24 And then we go to another group and then we find, "Oh, I'm the wise one".
2:29 And I think if you feel like you're assigned a role in your family, I just think take that with a little bit of a pinch of salt.
2:38 When you spend time with the same group of people, you might start to think of yourself as 'the funny one' or 'the wise one'.
2:46 When we say 'the ... one', we describe a person by using a particular and prominent characteristic they have.
2:55 If you're very tall, you might be 'the tall one'.
2:58 However, Philippa says we should take these labels 'with a pinch of salt' — an idiom meaning 'you shouldn't believe or do everything 'you are told or that's expected of you'.
3:09 Now, over time, interactions at the dinner table have changed.
3:14 In the past, children were sometimes seated on a different table to adults or told they should be 'seen and not heard', an old-fashioned phrase emphasising that 'children should be quiet and always on their best behaviour'.
3:29 Ambreia Meadows-Fernandez, a writer and founder of Free Black Motherhood, spoke about older generations' reactions to children asking awkward questions at the dinner table to BBC World Service programme The Food Chain.
3:45 So, it's a mixed bag.
3:48 It's overwhelmingly positive, but I also know that it is kind of a bit of culture shock for them to hear my children ask the questions that they ask, because our children haven't really been raised with that line of demarcation between the adult table and the kid table.
4:08 Ambreia says that the older generation's reactions to her children's questions at the table can be a mixed bag.
4:17 'A mixed bag' is 'a situation that can have positive and negative aspects'.
4:23 She also says that it's a 'culture shock' for them — 'a sense of feeling uncertain 'because you're in a different environment to usual'.
4:30 OK, Beth. I think it's time I revealed the answer to my question.
4:35 I asked you what the world record is for the fastest time to set a dinner table.
4:41 And I said it was one minute and five seconds.
4:44 And that was the right answer!
4:46 That's not very long, is it?
4:48 OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned from this programme, starting with 'open up' — a phrasal verb meaning 'speak more easily than usual, particularly about worries or problems'.
5:01 If someone is 'the funny one' or 'the wise one', they are 'labelled by that particular characteristic'.
5:07 To 'take something with a pinch of salt' means 'you shouldn't believe everything you're told'.
5:13 'Children should be seen and not heard' is an old-fashioned phrase that means 'children should be quiet and behave well'.
5:20 'A mixed bag' means something 'has both positive and negative aspects'.
5:25 And finally, a 'culture shock' is 'an uncertain feeling, because you're in a new environment'.
5:31 Once again our six minutes are up.
5:34 Join us again soon for more useful vocabulary, here at 6 Minute English!
5:39 — Goodbye for now! — Goodbye.
5:41 6 Minute English.
5:43 From BBC Learning English.
5:46 Hello, I'm Neil. Welcome to 6 Minute English and with me in the studio is Rob.
5:51 Hello, Neil.
5:52 — How are you today? — I'm fine, thanks. How are you?
5:54 I'm very well, actually. The weather has been nice lately, hasn't it?
5:57 Oh, yes, it has.
5:58 The winter's been mild this year but according to the forecast there might be some snow in parts of the country next week.
6:05 And, you know, that's good, because I love snow and we haven't seen much of it — for quite a while... — OK, OK, OK, enough!
6:11 Enough now, enough now or they're going to think it's true that British people only talk about the weather!
6:16 Right.
6:17 In this programme, we're talking about conversation and how to start talking with people you don't know.
6:23 In short, how to make small talk.
6:25 Right. Well, 'small talk' is what we call 'a polite and informal conversation 'about things which aren't really important or meaningful 'when meeting people socially' — like at a party, for example.
6:35 And in this programme, you'll learn some vocabulary about communication.
6:39 But first, a question. Rob, when do babies usually start talking?
6:44 Is it when they are a) nine months?
6:47 b) 16 months? Or c) 18 months?
6:50 Well, I know they start making noises at quite an early age.
6:55 And I guess if that's talking, let me say a) nine months.
6:58 OK. Well, we'll have the answer to that question at the end of the programme.
7:02 Small talk is a social skill.
7:04 Some people feel 'awkward' — it means they feel 'uncomfortable, embarrassed' — when they go to a party and don't know many people there.
7:12 Liz Brewer, the author of The Ultimate Guide to Party Planning and Etiquette, knows a lot about what to do on these occasions.
7:19 'Etiquette' is 'the set of rules which indicate what behaviour in a society 'is acceptable and what's not'.
7:26 Yes, the author knows a lot about etiquette. Let's listen to her advice.
7:30 What expression does she use to describe the act of attempting to start a conversation with someone?
7:36 You walk in a room, there's a sea of faces, well, first thing we do is...
7:42 It's the weather.
7:43 We do it because we are in fact breaking the ice. That is a code.
7:48 That means I want to talk to you.
7:50 It's an easy subject, it's not too penetrating.
7:54 We're very private people, we don't like to give too much information.
7:58 So we're on safe ground.
7:59 We start off with the weather.
8:01 If that goes well, we then take it one step further.
8:07 Liz Brewer talks about 'breaking the ice'.
8:10 It means 'approaching someone you don't know 'and starting a friendly conversation with them'.
8:15 And when you break the ice, talking about things which are not specific is the best way.
8:19 You don't start a chat asking straight away where people live or what they do for a living.
8:24 And, as the author said, we are very private people.
8:28 'Private' describes 'someone who doesn't like to give away 'their personal information, opinions or share their feelings'.
8:35 So we need more time to open up to people we've just met.
8:38 Good. So now you know what to do at a party when you don't know the other guests.
8:43 Ah, yeah, but Neil, there's one particular situation I'm not sure how to deal with.
8:48 This is when I forget the name of the person I've been making small talk with.
8:53 Ah, yes, I know what that's like.
8:55 You might not feel comfortable about allowing the person to realise you didn't really catch their name.
9:01 — It might sound rude. — Yes, that's right.
9:03 I don't want to sound 'rude' — which means 'ill-mannered or unpleasant'.
9:06 The person I've just managed to approach might think I don't care.
9:11 Let's see what tip author on etiquette Liz Brewer has for us.
9:14 Which words does she use instead of 'I have forgotten'?
9:19 You can say "Oh, just your name has just slipped my mind for the moment".
9:25 And they say "Paul". "Oh, no, no, no, I know you are Paul, it was the surname".
9:29 Or they give you the surname and then you add the other.
9:31 As I say, small talk is a code towards getting information and going further.
9:37 Once you feel comfortable, then you can have these wonderful in-depth conversations.
9:41 Those are the kind of things you want to probably do later.
9:46 Liz Brewer says "your name has just slipped my mind" — it's a gentler way of saying that they've just forgotten the person's name.
9:56 And pretending that you knew the person's name, but you want the other name, is a clever trick.
10:00 Yes, it might sound like you forgot the name, but not completely.
10:04 And this author shows that you have to interact with people in a charming way.
10:09 Yes.
10:10 Well, my co-presenter — your name has just slipped my mind for the moment...
10:15 Come on, Rob. You know! You know it's Neil.
10:17 Yes, it is Neil. Yes, just practising my social skills there.
10:20 Well, I'm afraid you have to practise some other time because, well, I don't want to sound rude, but we are running out of time.
10:27 Let me give you the correct answer to the quiz question now.
10:30 Ah, yes. You asked me when do babies usually start talking?
10:35 And you gave me three options.
10:37 Yes, and the options were nine months, 16 months or 18 months.
10:41 And I went for the first one, nine months. Was I right?
10:44 You were wrong. The correct answer was c) 18 months.
10:49 Now, according to the website Web MD dot com, there are some milestones in speech development.
10:56 At six months, your baby begins babbling with different sounds, for example, your baby may say "ba-ba" or "da-da".
11:03 And then, after that, at nine months, babies can understand a few basic words.
11:08 At the age of 18 months babies say up to ten simple words.
11:12 Ah, interesting stuff. And we're still learning words now, aren't we?
11:16 We are. Well, enough of this small talk.
11:18 Let's remember some of the words we used today, Rob.
11:22 They were small talk, awkward, etiquette, breaking the ice, private, rude, slipped my mind.
11:36 That's it for this programme.

11:42 — Until next time, goodbye! — Bye-bye.
11:45 6 Minute English.
11:47 From BBC Learning English.
11:50 Hello. This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Phil.
11:55 And I'm Pippa.
11:57 Have you ever phoned up a company and had your call held in a queue?
12:01 If you have, then you've probably heard messages like this.
12:06 Hello. Your call is important to us.
12:08 You are number 89 in the queue.
12:11 If you'd like to continue to hold, press one.
12:13 If you'd like to return to the main menu, press zero.
12:16 How do you feel when your phone call is put on hold, Phil?
12:20 Oh, frustrated usually, although I do like it when there's a number saying how many people are in front of you.
12:27 That's good.
12:28 Well, when your call is finally connected, it's usually a call centre worker you'll speak to — a real live person who'll hopefully fix your problem.
12:37 But increasingly, this work is now done using artificial intelligence, or AI.
12:43 And this is causing problems in countries like India and the Philippines, where call centre jobs make up a big part of the economy.
12:51 In this programme, we'll be asking who's really in charge at the call centre — humans or AI?
12:58 As always, we'll be learning some useful new vocabulary.
13:02 And remember you can read along with the programme, and find the list of new words and phrases, by visiting our website, BBC Learning English dot com.
13:12 But now I have a question for you, Phil.
13:15 Around the world, numbers of call centre workers have grown rapidly in recent years.
13:21 If you're listening to this, maybe you're a call centre worker yourself.
13:25 So, approximately how many people work in call centres globally, Phil?
13:30 Is it a) seven million?
13:32 b) 17 million? Or c) 27 million?
13:36 Ooh, erm, I think b) 17 million.
13:41 OK, well, you'll have to listen to the end to find out the answer.
13:45 Now, one worker worried about the impact of AI on jobs in the Philippines is Mylene Cabalona, president of the call centre workers' union, BIEN.
13:57 Here, she tells BBC World Service programme Tech Life about some of the difficulties of her job and why she fears for the future.
14:05 So, and this person is quite already aggravated, and he keeps on yelling and that's the, you know, that's the difficult part, because the mental stress also, you know, you have to pacify the client, and you have to make sure you're able to resolve the concern.
14:23 And then the difficult part on that conversation is that you're being monitored by an AI.
14:31 I mean, eventually AI would replace us.
14:35 It's going to displace workers, you know, eventually, in the near future.
14:40 Even, as a matter of fact, there's been a study that says that about 300,000 workers or around 27% of workers that's going to be displaced because of AI, and that's slowly happening.
14:55 Call centre work involves dealing with customers who've phoned up to complain.
14:59 They're often angry, aggravated and 'yelling', or 'shouting', down the phone.
15:05 It's Mylene's job to 'pacify' them, to 'calm' them down.
15:09 If that wasn't stressful enough, Mylene's conversations are monitored by AI systems to see how well she fixes her clients' problems.
15:18 You might think AI was built to support workers like Mylene, but she fears AI will replace her 'in the near future', a phrase meaning 'very soon' or 'within a short time'.
15:29 Mylene emphasises her fears about being replaced by giving details about a study she read, which claimed that 27% of workers will be displaced by AI.
15:40 She uses the phrase 'as a matter of fact' to emphasise what she's saying, and to give more detail as evidence to support it.
15:49 But Mylene thinks AI will never fully replace humans.
15:53 She says AI lacks one important quality — empathy.
15:57 Here, she explains more to BBC World Service's Tech Life.
16:01 Well, I don't think AI is, you know, empathetic, or… Whenever they talk, I mean if ever a machine or a robot talks to them, you know, people are more compassionate than, you know, when you talk to a robot.
16:18 Mylene says that AI is not 'empathetic'.
16:22 Unlike humans, it can't 'put itself in someone else's place 'and share their feelings or experiences'.
16:29 If you listen carefully to Mylene's speech, you'll notice she says "you know" a lot.
16:34 Phrases like, "you know", "um" and "ah" are called 'filler words' and are used to give the speaker time to think, or to express uncertainty.
16:44 Right, I think it's time I revealed the answer to my question, Phil.
16:48 I asked you how many call centre workers are there globally?
16:53 And I said 17 million.
16:56 Which is the right answer.
16:58 OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned in this programme, starting with 'yelling', another word for 'shouting'.
17:06 To 'pacify' someone means 'to calm them down when they're angry'.
17:10 'In the near future' means 'very soon', or 'within a short time'.
17:14 The phrase 'as a matter of fact' is used 'to add emphasis to what you're saying, 'to give more detail about what you've just said, 'or to introduce something that contrasts with it'.
17:25 If you're 'empathetic', you're 'able to put yourself in someone else's position 'and share their feelings or experiences'.
17:33 And finally, 'filler words' like 'um', 'ah' and 'you know' give the speaker more time to think, or to express uncertainty.
17:44 Once again, our six minutes are up. Bye!
17:48 Bye.
17:49 6 Minute English.
17:51 From BBC Learning English.
17:54 Hello. This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Sam.
17:58 And I'm Neil.
17:59 Recently, I met up with an old school friend who I hadn't seen for years.
18:04 We talked for hours.
18:05 It sounds like you had a good 'chinwag' — 'a long and pleasant conversation between friends', which is great because in this programme we're talking about talking.
18:15 We'll be discussing 'conservations' — 'the exchange of ideas, thoughts and feelings 'that happens when people talk to each other'.
18:23 And as usual we'll be learning some new vocabulary as well.
18:26 With the rise of Twitter and social media, which encourages us to give our opinion on a subject without always listening in return, some think the art of conversation is being lost.
18:38 But luckily, there are still millions of us who love to talk, chat, chinwag and chatter away.
18:45 In fact, in 2012, a competition in Latvia broke the world record for the longest telephone conversation.
18:52 So, Neil, my question is this — how long did this record-breaking conversation last?
18:59 Was it a) 24 hours and four minutes?
19:02 b) 54 hours and four minutes?
19:06 Or c) 84 hours and four minutes?
19:09 Hmm, I'll guess a) 24 hours and four minutes, after which they probably fell asleep!
19:16 OK, Neil, I'll reveal the correct answer later in the programme.
19:20 During a long career, DJ and BBC radio presenter Nihal Arthanayake has had conversations with hundreds of people.
19:27 Now, he's used these experiences to write a book entitled Let's Talk: How to Have Better Conversations.
19:34 Here, Nihal tells another radio presenter, Michael Rosen, of BBC Radio 4's Word of Mouth, about the influence of his mother, who also loved talking to people in her job as a nurse.
19:47 Well, it gave me the sense that you are enriched by listening.
19:53 And this was of course, pre-social media, which has, of course, encouraged us to project, to transmit, more than receive.
20:00 So it meant that I guess I was conscious of experiences of others, and wanted to try and understand them.
20:08 Also, partially, Michael, it was a survival instinct, because I was a little brown boy in a predominantly white school, a state school, in the 1980s.
20:18 For Nihal, good conversation involves listening as much as speaking.
20:23 By listening we find out things about the person we are talking to which, in turn, help us understand ourselves.
20:30 This is why Nihal says we are 'enriched' by listening — we're 'improved by having something else added'.
20:38 As a British Asian boy growing up in a white community, Nihal also thinks conversation was a way for him to make friends and find protection.
20:47 He says having conversations was a 'survival instinct' — 'the human instinct to do something in a dangerous situation 'that will keep them safe from harm'.
20:57 Nihal sees an important difference between 'listening simply to reply', and 'listening to understand'.
21:04 When we 'listen to reply', we are thinking about the next thing we want to say more than trying to understand the other person's point of view.
21:11 'Listening to understand', on the other hand, helps 'build bridges' — 'improve relationships between people who are very different 'or do not like each other'.
21:21 Here's Nihal again in conversation with BBC Radio 4's Word of Mouth.
21:26 So conversation can build bridges, and it is proven through history that conversation has, and that conversation can be seen as an art form.
21:35 And that's one of the things that I want us to understand — it's not just tittle-tattle, it's not just shouting at each other on social media, it's not two politicians talking over each other.
21:48 Good conversation brings people together, unlike 'tittle-tattle' — 'talk about other people's lives that is usually unkind, disapproving, or untrue'.
21:58 And good conversation involves taking turns, not 'talking over someone' — 'trying to silence people by talking more loudly, 'forcefully, and persistently than them'.
22:09 Hopefully, Nihal's tips can help us all have better conversations, encounter new ideas and make friends.
22:16 So, Sam, did you do any of these things when you met up with your old school friend?
22:21 I think so.
22:22 We both listened to each other.
22:23 There was no tittle-tattle, but a little bit of gossip.
22:27 Before we knew it a couple of hours had passed, but not as much time as those record-breaking telephone conservations I mentioned earlier.
22:35 Ah, yes, in your question you asked how long the world's longest telephone conversation lasted.
22:41 I guessed it was an incredible 24 hours and four minutes. Was I right?
22:46 Well, Neil, I'm afraid that was the wrong answer.
22:49 In fact, the record-breaking conversation lasted 54 hours and four minutes — about the same as 540 programmes of 6 Minute English!
23:01 Wow!
23:02 OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned from this programme on the art of good conversations, starting with 'chinwag' — 'a long and pleasant conversation between friends'.
23:12 When something is 'enriched', it's 'improved by having something else added to it'.
23:17 The 'survival instinct' is 'the basic instinct in humans and animals 'to do something in a dangerous situation that will keep them alive'.
23:25 If you 'build bridges', you 'improve relationships 'between people who are very different or do not like each other'.
23:32 'Tittle-tattle' is 'talk about other people's lives 'that is usually unkind, disapproving, or untrue'.
23:38 And finally, if you 'talk over someone', you 'silence or drown them out by talking more loudly than them'.
23:44 That's the end of our conversation, but remember to join us soon for more trending topics and useful vocabulary.
23:51 — Bye for now. — Goodbye!
23:53 6 Minute English.
23:55 From BBC Learning English.
23:58 Hello. This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Neil.
24:02 And I'm Sam.
24:03 Now, if you're old enough to remember the early days of dial-up internet then you'll know the unforgettable sound of the 'handshake', the clicks and squeaks your computer made as it struggled to connect to the internet through the telephone line.
24:18 Yes, I remember that strange noise!
24:21 Dial-up internet was slow and websites took forever to load.
24:26 And because you couldn't use both the internet and the telephone at the same time, this was usually followed by someone shouting, "Get off the computer, I'm making a phone call!"
24:37 In the 30 years since then, the internet has changed dramatically.
24:41 Fibre optics and broadband have created superfast internet speeds and an interconnected online world, where physical distances between people are no longer a barrier to communication — a situation expressed in the phrase the 'global village'.
24:58 But take a closer look and you'll still find people around the world with a slow connection or no internet at all.
25:05 In this programme, we'll be finding out how some communities are working together to fix their internet connection problems for the benefit of local people.
25:15 And, of course, we'll be learning some new vocabulary too.
25:19 But before that I have a question for you, Sam.
25:21 We've been talking about the early days of the internet, but do you know the name of the first ever internet browser, the engine for searching websites?
25:30 Was it a) Ask Jeeves?
25:32 b) WorldWideWeb?
25:34 Or c) Yahoo?
25:36 Hmm. I'll guess it was c) Yahoo.
25:39 OK, Sam. We'll find out the answer later.
25:41 You might think its people living in the most remote and isolated places with the greatest difficulty getting online, but that's not always true.
25:51 Even here in the UK, people struggle to connect, including BBC radio listener Katie who explained her problem to BBC World Service programme Digital Planet.
26:01 Hi, I'm Katie. I live in Dorset in England.
26:05 Our internet can be quite spasmodic here, and I think that that's due to most of our underground cabling is very old and somewhat dodgy, tatty, and needs replacing.
26:17 Katie lives in Dorset, a rural part of southwest England.
26:21 She describes her internet connection as 'spasmodic' — 'suddenly working, but only for a short time, and not in a regular way'.
26:30 She thinks this is because her internet cables are 'dodgy', slang for 'bad or untrustworthy'.
26:36 A dodgy internet connection might be irritating, but, in other parts of the world, the consequences can be more serious.
26:44 Aamer Hayat is farmer who lives in the Pakistani Punjab, one of the country's most fertile regions, but also one of the least connected.
26:53 His village is a three-hour drive from the nearest town, and he can't make a phone call, even with 2G.
27:01 For Aamer, basic weather information like knowing when rain is coming can mean the difference between his crops succeeding or failing.
27:09 Without the internet he doesn't have a reliable weather report, so the villagers decided to build their own 50-metre-high telephone transmission tower, linking a network of five villages to the internet.
27:22 Here is Aamer talking to BBC World Service programme Digital Planet.
27:27 We used to do the conventional farming, like just getting information from the word-of-mouth.
27:32 Now, I'm using the latest technologies to have gadgets available with us and taking information right from the horse's mouth, you can say, through internet and the technology we have in our hands.
27:44 So, this is what I am doing in my farm practices.
27:47 Before the community-built tower brought the internet to his village, Aamer got his weather report by 'word-of-mouth' — 'information passed on by people telling each other'.
27:58 Now, there's stable internet that works, thanks to a tower high enough to pick up a telephone signal, which it then sends into the villages via solar-powered receivers — a type of 'gadget' — meaning 'a small, electronic device which does something useful'.
28:13 This means Aamer now gets his weather report straight 'from the horse's mouth', an idiom meaning 'from a reliable source', or 'from someone who knows what they're talking about'.
28:24 The internet brings reliable climatic information, which means a good harvest not just for Aamer and his family, but for all the families living in the five connected villages.
28:36 It's a great example of community action, and of people looking after each other — something which may have been lost since the early, idealistic days of the internet.
28:46 And speaking of the early internet, it's time to answer my question.
28:49 Remember, I asked you for the name of the very first internet browser.
28:53 I guessed it was c) Yahoo. So, was I right?
28:57 You were wrong, I'm afraid, Sam.
28:59 Way back before Google, the first internet browser was called the WorldWideWeb — invented by none other than cyber legend, Tim Berners-Lee, who, I think, would be pleased to hear about Aamer's community internet.
29:12 Yes.
29:13 Right, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned about internet connections between people living at a physical distance in the modern world, something described as the 'global village'.
29:24 If your internet is 'spasmodic', it's 'irregular, stopping, then suddenly working for a short time'.
29:31 In other words, it's 'dodgy', a slang word meaning 'bad or unreliable'.
29:36 If you know something 'by word-of-mouth', it's 'been passed verbally from person to person'.
29:41 Whereas if you hear it 'from the horse's mouth', it's 'come directly from a reliable source of information'.
29:47 And finally, a 'gadget' is 'a small, electronic device with a useful purpose'.
29:52 Once again our six minutes are up. Bye for now!
29:54 Bye!
