Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.
I'm Neil.
And I'm Georgina.
Of all the weird and wonderful creatures living under the sea,
perhaps the strangest, or jellyfish, those rubbery cone-shaped creatures found floating in the water,
their long tentacles trailing behind.
Some jellyfish species have a bad reputation for scaring away tourists, clogging up fishing nets and even blocking power station pipes.
But with more and more plastic rubbish ending up in the sea, these days,
you're as likely to swim into a plastic bag as a jellyfish.
Now scientific research is discovering that these rubbery sea creatures might provide an answer, a sticky solution to the
ground, will be learning how jellyfish mucus could provide the answer to plastic waste in the seas.
And of course we'll be learning some related vocabulary along the way.
But first, it's time for my quiz question.
Georgina, you mentioned jellyfish scaring away beachgoers with their sting.
But what is the best way to treat jellyfish stings?
Is it A?
With ice, B?
With salt or C?
