  • 6 Meet English.

  • From bbclearningenglish.com Hello, welcome to 6 Minute English, I'm Neil.

  • And I'm Harry.

  • Now Harry, have you ever taken a selfie?

  • That's a photo of yourself, usually with your mobile phone.

  • Yes, I have.

  • I've taken them all over London with my children.

  • Of course, selfies are very easy to take with your smartphone and recently we've seen some famous selfies featuring well-known people such as the one taken by actor

  • Ellen DeGeneres at last year's Oscars ceremony.

  • Yes, it seems there are no limits to the places where you can capture yourself in a photo.

  • But there is a limit on how far you can stretch your arm out to take a snap, a quick photo of you and your friends.

  • That's true.

  • So thank goodness for the selfie stick, an expanding pole to put your smartphone on, which gives you a wider view.

  • This means you can take in more of the background.

  • Sounds like a good idea.

  • It does, but it's also causing a problem in some places around the world.

  • More on that in a moment, but let's not forget,

  • I have a question to ask you, Harry.
