6MINGING ENGLISH From bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English, I'm Neil.
And I'm Sophie.
Neil, what are you afraid of?
I'm not keen on anything with wings, but I particularly hate moths.
They're disgusting with their fat hairy bodies and flattery wings.
Oh, Neil.
Moths are completely harmless.
They aren't something to be scared of.
Yes they are.
They get in my face and my hair, makes my flesh creep just thinking about them.
If something makes your flesh creep, it makes you feel very frightened.
Well, I hope you're going to survive the show today, Neil, because it's all about animal phobias.
And a phobia is a strong and irrational fear.
That's a fear not based on reason.
OK, I'll try.
Do you have any animal phobia, Sophie?
I can't stand dogs.
Man's best friend.
