  • Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.

  • I'm Rob.

  • And I'm Georgina.

  • In this programme, we're looking for utopia.

  • You mean a perfect world, a place where everyone lives together in harmony?

  • Does that kind of place exist, Rob?

  • Mmm, probably not, but it's something we aspire to create.

  • A happy place where everyone is cared for and nobody goes without.

  • Well, let me know if you find it and I'll head their straight away.

  • Well, one place that is trying to be like that is the Dutch city of Amsterdam.

  • We're going to be finding out what they're doing with the help of some doughnuts.

  • But first, Georgina, I have a perfect question for you.

  • According to the 2020 United Nations World Happiness Report,

  • which country is the world's happiest?

  • Is it A, Finland?

  • B, Singapore, or C, Austria?

  • That's tricky, but I imagine that if only for the scenery it's A, Finland.

  • Okay, Georgina, I'll tell you if you are right or wrong later on.
