Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.
I'm Rob.
And I'm Sam.
Have you got a business brain, Sam?
Would you like to start your own business?
It sounds good, Rob.
I like the idea of being my own boss.
Well, that's the dream for many millennials.
The name given to the current generation of young people, age between 24 and 38.
Some of the millennial generation are dissatisfied with the old ways of doing things.
For example, how big business uses data from social media and the negative impact of companies on society and the environment.
In today's programme, we'll look at why millennials are so attracted to starting their own businesses and asking whether this really is the way to make the world a better place.
And of course, we'll be learning some new vocabulary on the way.
But first, it's time for today's quiz question.
