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

  • Hi, and I'm Catherine.

  • Now, Catherine, when was the last time you went for a walk in the country for fun,

  • for exercise or relaxation?

  • People do that?

  • Well, believe it or not, they do.

  • Oh, interesting.

  • People are strange.

  • Well, it sounds like you should pay close attention to today's program,

  • because it's all about how fewer and fewer people are venturing out into the country.

  • Well, I wonder if that word is part of the problem to venture out somewhere,

  • suggests that it's a really big challenge or even a risky activity.

  • I don't think a walk in the country is a particularly dangerous activity,

  • even in bad weather.

  • It's not one of the reasons people gave in a recent survey for why they don't do it.

  • In fact, one of the biggest reasons people gave was that it wouldn't look good on their social media.

  • Well, of course, why would you go for a walk in the rain in the country if you couldn't get good snaps for your social media account?

  • Interesting, you should say that because it's the topic of this week's quiz question.
