Hello, this is Six Minute English and I'm Rob.
And I'm Dan.
Now Dan, do you know who Michelle Obama is?
Yeah, maybe the most famous woman in the world?
Former First Lady, which means she was the wife of the president of the United States of America.
That is correct.
She's just published her autobiography and has been talking in the UK about her life.
Before we find out more, here is this week's question.
When did the title First Lady first become used for the wife of the US president?
Was it in the 18th century, be 19th century or see 20th century?
Any ideas, Dan?
This could be a trick question.
The first US presidents were in the 18th century and they had wives,
but I think the actual term may only have been introduced much later.
So I'm going to take a wild guess and say the 20th century.
Okay, well, I'll have the answer later in the program.
Michelle Obama's visit to the UK was covered on BBC News.
According to this report, where did she visit that she had visited before?
