6 Minute English: Living in a tiny space.

In this oportunity, Jennifer and Neil talked about the people who live in a tiny space, this situation is common in UK and the rest of the world, and this number of people who live in a tiny space all the days grow up.

This week's question:

Which European country's homes are almost 80% bigger than those in the UK?

a) Ireland

b) The Netherlands

c) Denmark

Jennifer and Neil listened a clip from Jennifer Pak, BBC correspondent, who talked about a man who lived in Hong Kong and who changed his small space for 30m2, to make it multifuncional. She talked about how the people who live in small places bought gadgets and make their lives easier.

In this program after the question they talk about the words and phrases that they learn in their program.

• Housing crisis
• To get a foot on the property ladder
• On the market
• Room to swing a cat
• To squeeze
• Minimalist
• De-clutter

This program is very interesting because they talked about the form to transform a tiny space in a good and lovely place where the people lives in pease and they watched us that this situation to tiny space in the flats or houses grew up all the days.

Diet or not Diet, this is the question...

I don't have any specific diet, I only eat many foods, but I really would like to change any things about my form to eat. For example I need to eat more fruits and vegetables, change the type of meat that I eat and don't eat much candy.

When I was a child my diet changed so much, because I was fat when I was fourteen I ate much fruit, vegetables and fish, I didn't eat butter or sugar let alone bread or candies. My body replied in a good way and lost weight.

In Chile there is many diferents dishes, like empanadas or porotos con riendas, but there is a salad that I really love, this is "ensalada a la chilena" and contain tomatoes, onions, oil and salt. It's really good because this salad is fresh and easy to prepare.

I think that specific diets are dangerous because all the extreme sides aren't good, but if you take a good diet, vegetarian or not, your body reply very well and your health will be good.

Junk food is the worst food that exsist in the world, high in fat, sugar, salt and calories, but it's very delicious. Junk food is Coke, fried fast food, pizza, tacos, hamburgers, gum, candy, carbonated beverages. I think it's popular because is easy to eat, cheaper than others foods.

The food and drink changed my life as years went by, when I was a child the food that I ate was supervised by my mother, but now, I watch what I eat. Now I drink more coffee and eat many other foods but I think that my diet is good.

The adventures of Robin Hood

The story talked us a many adventures of a young man who lived in the Sherwood forest that reuned a group of many people who lived in a misery and become in a group of thiefs who stolen to rich people and gave to poor people.
The book talked us about this man who lived a good life but when he knew the reality that the other people passed, he began to defended the poor people of the rich people who oppressed to others. He fought with the Nothingham's sheriff and the Prince Juan who made a public force to obtein the wealth to the nobles who to oppossed them.

Is when Robin married with lady Mariane, the baron of Arlongford daughter's, that the ceremony is interrupted by a band of knight and they refgued in the Sherwood forest and promissed that always be took care to the people who need more. And Robin was become in the prince of the thiefs.

Marianne was loked up with her father in a tower, but she scaped and met with her boyfriend. But the Brother Miguel followed her and become in "little Juan"

While, the prince Juan felt in love with Marianne and followed her desperately and he burnt the casstle of his father.

In the final, Robin and the others shielf knew a unknown knight who returned the smile to Robin, because he returned the noble's titles to Robin and the other persecuted and they can returned to Nothingham and Robin can married with Marianne.

The prince Juan is arrested for his crimes and condemned.


I really love this stoiry because is Robin Hood a good man who help to others, he is brave and a expert thief and although stealing to others is a bad thing, I think that all time need a hero.

Come see about me

I'm very bad at eating fruit, because I don't like so much but always trying to eat. I think that I will go to the party all the free days in the next weekend, because is Halloween and I think I will have much time for my hobbies and my friends here in Santiago, but I need to study tomorrow for my phonetics classes.

I have many things that I love doing when I'm on holidays, like sleeping for a long time in the mornings, go to mall with my friends and spend a good time with my parents. But I have one thing that I hate doing in my house, any time and this is it... washing dishes.

All the time I say to myself... "Simona you need to study all days, you need practice English" and in this case, I must remember to practice my english for my phonetic test.

I love all languages , but I have my favorite (with English) and I'd like to learn and this is Italian, I really love that because when I listen to people talking transport myself to a other world where I have a gondola and go to the river singing my favorites songs.

Animal species 'extinction crisis'

In the program 6 Minute English the discusion was about extinction animal species.
Rob and Feifei spoke about the illegal trade in wildlife, Rob sayd that 200 governments had been meeting in Bangkok to talked about how to tackle this big problem, but before to entrance in the main plot of discussion, they made a question for the listeners.

When did the dodo bird become extinct?

a) In the late 1600's

b) In the late 1700's

c) In the early 1900's

In this program after the questions they talked about the many words and phrases that they learnt in their program.

• hunted 
• extinct 
• dead as a dodo  
• conservation groups 
• slaughter 
• seizure 
• poachers 
• a transit route 
• endangered species 

Feifei and Rob, discused about the expression "dead as a dodo" they make reference about the extincted bird, and can be used this expression to describe something that was completely dead or no longer working.

they said that some experts were predicting a global 'extinction crisis'. So it's an extremely urgent stop this situation because this problem was increasing. They took a references with Mary Rice from the Environmental Investigations Agency and David Shukman, BBC correspondent. She said that the function how some people organised this illegal trade like the people never been intercepted because they taken many precautions, and he said that exist many things for made like having an international agreement clearly together a police co-operation and political will to halt the killing.

I really love this program because it open a vision about this big problem, because the people threaten with life of the most vulnerable. This situations make me think that this world is very sad, because the people kill animals for its skins, horn, etc, or for enjoyment, instead of made it for save them life or because they need something to eat.

This situation wasn't unusual because since that the humans made weapons that they killed any thing that they see and thay can killed, inclusive other people, always the most vulnerable.
