6MINETING ENGLISH From bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English, I'm Neil.
And I'm Alice.
Have you gained some weight, Neil?
You're not looking in great shape.
I'm afraid so.
My New Year's resolution is to get in shape or to get fit through physical exercise.
I look fat, don't I?
Well, erm, did you overindulge during the Christmas holidays, Neil?
I'm afraid I did, Alice.
Overindulge means to have too much of something nice,
like all that lovely Christmas food.
Yes, lovely.
Why do you think appearance is so important to us, Neil?
Getting in shape is a very popular New Year's resolution.
That's a decision to do or stop doing something at the beginning of the New Year.
Good question.
Well, I think we all judge people according to the way they look.
The subject of today's show is appearance or the way we look.
