  • Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • My name is William Kramer.

  • And I'm Helen.

  • I've got something for you, Helen.

  • It's nice to have a bit of music, William, but why?

  • What do you think?

  • Nice music, huh?

  • Well, it's certainly dramatic.

  • So are we having a special musical edition today, William?

  • Well, yes, we are, Helen.

  • The BBC Proms start this Friday, remember?

  • Ah, of course.

  • The BBC Proms is a huge classical music festival that the BBC sponsors.

  • It's over 100 years old.

  • Yes.

  • And every day for the next two months, hundreds of music fans will queue to get their hands on a £5 ticket.

  • Wow.
