  • Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.

  • I'm Sophie.

  • And I'm Neil.

  • What did you do at the weekend, Sophie?

  • I did a spot of gardening.

  • So you're a keen gardener?

  • Yes, I am, Neil.

  • And gardening is the subject of today's show.

  • Now, why don't we start with a quiz question?

  • Good idea.

  • What percentage of people in the UK said that gardening makes them happier according to a survey conducted by the Royal Horticultural Society?

  • Is it A, 22%, B, 52%, or C, 82%?

  • Well, I'll guess.

  • B, 52%.

  • Well, we'll find out later on if you got it right or not.

  • So, does gardening make you happy, Neil?

  • Well, I tried to grow some tomatoes once,

  • and to be honest, it made me rather anxious.
