  • Hello, I'm Neil, and welcome to Six Minute English,

  • where we bring you an interesting topic and six related items of vocabulary.

  • But there should be two of us, and my co-presenter, Rob, hasn't arrived.

  • Rob, Rob, you're late.

  • Am I?

  • What's the time?

  • It's time to start the show.

  • Do you actually own a watch?

  • No.

  • I rely on my internal clock.

  • It's pretty good.

  • Er, no, it isn't.

  • You're late.

  • But I'm usually on time.

  • Now, today we're talking about what would happen to the world if all the clocks stopped.

  • It seems like that wouldn't worry you too much, Rob.

  • You're right.

  • I think we're slaves to time.
