  • From bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.

  • I'm Alice.

  • And I'm Rob.

  • So, Rob, did you have a part-time job while you were at university?

  • Ah, yes, I worked in the student bar.

  • Ooh, did you learn anything from the experience?

  • I learned how to pull a decent pint.

  • Mm, did you learn anything else?

  • Yes, I learned how to add up.

  • Didn't they teach you that at school?

  • Well, I wasn't good at doing sums in my head, you know, mental arithmetic.

  • But I got pretty good at it as a barman.

  • They didn't have computerised cash registers in my day, you see.

  • Oh, I didn't realise you were that old, Rob.

  • Anyway, the subject of today's show is young business entrepreneurs.

  • So, can you answer this question?

  • How young were the founders of Facebook and Microsoft when they first set up their companies?
