6 New English From BBC Learning English Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.
I'm Neil.
And I'm Sam.
Do you cry easily, Sam?
I mean, when was the last time you cried?
Let me think.
Last week, watching a movie probably,
I was watching a really dramatic film and in one scene,
the heroine gets separated from her children.
I just burst out crying.
How about you, Neil?
When was the last time you cried?
Oh, men don't cry, Sam.
Oh, come on, Neil.
That's a bit stereotypical, isn't it?
The idea that men don't show their emotions and women cry all the time?
Well, that's an interesting point, Sam, because in today's program, we're discussing crying.
We'll be investigating the reasons why we cry and looking at some of the differences between men and women and between crying in public and in private.
