  • Welcome to Six Minute English, the program where we explore an interesting topic and bring you six items of useful vocabulary.

  • I'm Neil.

  • And I'm Dan.

  • Now, Dan, have you ever wanted to become invisible?

  • Oh, impossible to see.

  • Of course, who hasn't?

  • Well, how about this?

  • Most of us think we are, in fact, invisible, at least some of the time.

  • We'll be looking at the invisibility cloak illusion in this program, fascinating.

  • And in that phrase, we heard our first three words.

  • Invisibility, the state of being invisible.

  • A cloak is a long piece of material worn like a coat around the shoulders.

  • And the third word in that phrase, an illusion, is something that seems real, but isn't.

  • Okay, question time.

  • Which of these stories features an invisibility cloak?

  • Is it A, the Hobbit?

  • B, Harry Potter?

  • Or C, the Invisible Man?
