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

  • I'm Neil.

  • And I'm Georgina.

  • Do you believe in ghosts, Georgina?

  • Well, I've never actually seen one, not even at Halloween.

  • How about dragons then, or fairies and elves?

  • Have you been reading fantasy books, Neil?

  • Lord of the Rings?

  • I have been reading a book, Georgina, but not Lord of the Rings.

  • My book is about an amphibious creature,

  • a creature that lives both on land and in water.

  • Some kind of frog man?

  • You've almost got the idea, Georgina, but think.

  • Woman not man and fish, not frog.

  • Half woman, half fish.

  • I've got it, a mermaid.

  • That's right, mermaids are magical creatures,

  • half woman, half fish, that feature in the myths and legends of many cultures around the world.
