Hello, welcome to Six Minute English.
I'm Neil.
This is the program where in just six minutes,
we discuss an interesting topic and teach some related English vocabulary.
And joining me to do this is Rob.
Hello, Neil.
Now, Rob, you seem like a happy chapie.
What's the point of being miserable?
Well, there are many things that can make you feel down in the dumps,
a phrase that means unhappy.
But what other things that keep you feeling happy, cheerful and chirpy, Rob?
Oh, many things like being healthy,
having good friends, presenting programs like this with you, Neil.
Of course.
But we all have different ideas about what makes us happy.
And that can vary from country to country and culture to culture.
It's what we're talking about today.
Concepts of happiness.
