Hello and welcome to Six Minute English, I'm Neil,
and joining me today is Dan, who is looking very jolly.
Of course I'm looking jolly, meaning happy and smiley.
It's my favourite time of the year!
Ah yes, all that food, all those presents, all that fun.
Forget the food and fun, Christmas is all about the presents.
Hmm, I'm not sure that's quite the spirit,
the real meaning of something.
Well, Neil, I was actually talking about giving presents, not getting them.
Ah sorry, Dan, I misjudged you.
As you enjoy giving presents so much, I'm very pleased to have you with me in this Six Minute English.
Our topic, what makes the perfect Santa?
We'll have six items of vocabulary for you, and of course our quiz question.
Are you ready?
Hit me.
Okay, here we go.
How many centres are there in the world?
Is it A, 1,500?
