  • Hello, I'm Rob.

  • Welcome to 6 Minute English.

  • I'm joined today by Finn.

  • Hello, Finn.

  • Hi, Rob.

  • I'm happy you called me to present this programme with you,

  • because I was there by my desk feeling a bit bored.

  • Great yawn, Finn.

  • Now, yawn, of course, is a typical reaction of someone who is bored.

  • Yeah, it's when you open your mouth wide and take somewhere in and...

  • slowly out.

  • Okay, well, let's make this programme all about boredom, shall we?

  • And I'll start by stimulating your imagination.

  • Thank you, but how are you going to make me excited and interested in something, Rob?

  • Okay, well, how about I challenge you to a question that you might not know the answer to?

  • Okay, well, you can try.

  • Okay, well, I know you like the theatre.
