Vietnam :) Finally, Vietnam is mentioned in 6 minute English.
@Neil: You pronounce "Vietnam" exactly and lovely
I love this program so much
Yeah. That is the true. I heard the answer Vietnam 🇻🇳 too
I guessed the answer Vietnam too though I didn't know exactly :)
Very
important
Right... we're really proud of our Vietnam♡♡
hi :3
I am a Vietnamese. It is so proud to hear my country name in here :)
Oh, this is beautiful. I am from Palestine, and we are studying history about Vietnam and the Vietnamese resistance. This is wonderful
Hello !!! Vietnam is the second biggest producer coffee in the world. Welcome you all go to my country to have a good experience coffee. Welcome
Yes, that's really proud
Hello buddy, I'm from Brazil, nice to meet you. I'd like to visit your country and try your coffee.
And now, Vietnam is the first biggest producer coffee in the world replace Brazil. I read it a months ago.
I was in Ben Thanh market in Saigon in february 2020. There i was bought very nice coffee, amazing smell. In Poland i gave try for friends. Very nice fresh aroma and taste :-)
It is very helpful you are doing a great job.thank you
I like watching this programe
I was delighted to hear “ Vietnam” my country in your video today. I am so proud that our country is the second largest producer of coffee. Actually I also love the smell/ aroma of coffee, it is the key thing when I drink coffee. Whenever the smell hits me, my mouth begins to water. :D
Thanks for your lovely video, stay safe in the pandemic.
Very interesting topic. You are making a great job teaching us English. Thanks a lot.
Hi there^^ I'm Vietnamese. At mid of COVID-19 pandemic, my country is having a very good epidemic control with zero death, 268 cases, 205 recoveries. So proud! Stay healthy, stay calm, and be careful for all. My planet will be fine again
Oh Vietnam.That is my country. So amazing
Neil: Hello. Welcome to 6 Minute English, I'm Neil.
Catherine: And I'm Catherine.
Neil: Catherine, I'm going to start this
programme with a quick test, just for you.
Catherine: Ooo, I love tests!
Neil: Complete this phrase: Wake up and
smell the...
Catherine: Coffee Neil! It's coffee. I have
to say, I love coffee, it's great.
Neil: OK, so do you drink much?
Catherine: Well, just a couple of cups, you
know.
Neil: Every day?
Catherine: No, no, every hour! I love coffee,
don't you like coffee, Neil?
Neil: I do but maybe not as much as you!
What's the best thing about it?
Catherine: It's the smell. It's got to be the
smell.
You know, when you open the packet, it's
great, isn't it?
Neil: Yes, but it never quite tastes as good
as it smells, does it?
Catherine: Well no, not really. It's always a
bit disappointing. I live in hope, another
cup, I think it will be better. I might change
brands actually and try a different one.
Neil: OK, you've had quite a lot of coffee
today, haven't you?
Catherine: Just the usual six cups.
Neil: Well, our topic today is the smell of
coffee and coffee is also the subject of
today's question. The world's biggest
producer of coffee is ...
Catherine: Brazil! Brazil!
Neil: Yes, yes, but that's not the question. The
question is, Brazil is the biggest coffee
producer, which is the second largest
coffee producing country? Is it:
a: Colombia, b: Vietnam, c: Ethiopia
Catherine: Right, so it's not Brazil but I bet
it's another South American country, so I'm
going to go for Columbia. Columbia, is
that right?
Neil: We'll have the answer later in the
programme but which time, maybe the
caffeine will have left your body, Catherine.
Tim Hayward is a coffee shop owner. He
appeared in the BBC Radio 4 programme
The Kitchen Cabinet. How important does
he say the smell of coffee is?
It's absolutely vital, it's the key thing.
When you walk in to the coffee shop in
the morning and that smell hits you,
you're getting physiological responses.
Neil: So how important is it?
Catherine: I'm feeling a bit calmer now.
Tim Hayward says the smell of coffee is
vital. That means it's very important, it's
perhaps the most important thing. And he
backs this up by saying that it's the key
thing. Something that's key is
essential, it's really important.
Neil: And he says that when you
experience the smell,
when the smell hits you, you get a
physiological response. This phrase
means your body has a reaction to the
smell of coffee. Perhaps your mouth
begins to water in anticipation.
Catherine, when you get a coffee, do you
normally have it there or take it away?
Catherine: Well, I usually take it away,
although if I'm feeling really in need of a
coffee hit, I might have one there and then
get another one and take with me.
Neil: Can you describe the container that you
are given when you have a coffee to go?
Catherine: Yes, it's in a tall paper cup with a lid.
And the lid has a hole in it so that I can
drink that lovely coffee.
Neil: Don't you think that's a problem? I
mean, we know how important the smell
is, so what is the effect of the lid on that
experience?
Catherine: The effect of the lid?
Neil: Yes. Well here's Tim Hayward again
talking about coffee being served with lids.
What baffles me is that how many of the
large coffee chains actually sell a product
in a cup that removes the smell. So you
walk into the coffee shop, you get the
smell, but when you actually take the
drink out you are drinking it from
something that is designed to deliver
the hot liquid directly past your tongue
but stop any smell coming up to your
nose. That's just weird.
Neil: So what is it he's describing there?
Catherine: I see, yes, He's talking
about the big coffee chains. A chain is a
company that has lots of its stores in
towns and cities sometimes
around the world. I think we can all think
of a few well-known coffee chains.
And he says that by putting a lid on take away
cups, you're actually blocking the smell -
that smell that is really important to the
coffee experience.
Neil: Yes, and he says that he finds that
weird, which is a way of saying he finds it
unusual, thinks it's strange, odd. So much
so that he says it baffles him. If you are
baffled by something, you find it
confusing, you can't really understand it.
Here's Tim Hayward again.
What baffles me is how many of the
large coffee chains actually sell a product
in a cup that removes the smell. So you
walk into the coffee shop, you get the
smell, but when you actually take the
drink out you are drinking it from
something that is designed to deliver
the hot liquid directly past your tongue
but stop any smell coming up to your
nose. That's just weird.
Neil: That was coffee shop owner Tim
Hayward. Right, before we have another
cup of this week's vocabulary, let's get the
answer to the question. After Brazil, which
country produces most coffee? Is it:
a: Colombia, b: Vietnam, c: Ethiopia
Catherine, you said?
Catherine: I said it was a: Colombia.
Neil: Ah, sorry, no extra coffee for you
today! The answer is Vietnam. And now
on to the vocabulary we looked at.
Take it away Catherine.
Catherine: So the first word was vital,
which is an adjective that means very
important. And another word with a very
similar meaning was key, meaning essential.
Neil: Next we had the phrase
physiological responses. Physiological
refers to what our bodies do and a
response is a reaction. So a physiological
response is a reaction your body has to
something, like the smell of coffee.
Catherine: Something that baffles you,
confuses you, you don't understand it.
Neil: You might find something that
baffles you to be weird. This adjective
means unusual or strange.
Catherine: And finally, a chain is a group
of shops from the same company with
the same name.
Neil: Well that is the end of our programe.

Catherine: Bye! Fancy a coffee?

The smell of coffee deserves to be a perfume 😌❤️
Indeed!
Agree
As a Vietnamese and a coffee lover, I thrill to bits when hearing about Vietnam in this video, you pronounce Vietnam very smoothly and Vietnam also has a great reputation for planting and exporting coffee to many countries in the world, so we are really proud of it. Moreover, not only useful and educational all the programmes are, but also I can enhance my English skills by watching these videos everyday. I am really thankful for that ❤️
I am from Vietnam. Welcome to Vietnam and drink Vietnamese coffee, you can easily find coffee everywhere in Vietnam

Vietnamese coffee is really nice. They have an iced coffee variety which is awesome
i love blueberry in fact it was, there are a lot of things that we don’t know or we are even unaware of its existence.

Coffe is not only a beverage it's philosophy.

Thanks for your lovely video, stay safe in the pandemic.
Most people plant coffee tree in my hometown. My parents always enjoy coffee in the morning. It seems that coffee is one of the important part of our life. Citizens here are really eager to join the coffee festival which will be hold in March 10 in the centre of city.
It's a relaxing conversation about a delicious theme. I really enjoy learning English like that. Thank you very much for your time.
Today I watched this video seriously in this video about the many things of coffee ☕😅.thanks a lot of you man creat that video.
I'm Vietnamese, I saw many comments which were from my countrymen. We've been proud of coffee products, but nobody mentioned of an big coffee issue in Vietnam in 2018. That was coffee powder was mixed with battery powder => An extreme bad case.

Thanks! Your script helps me a lot to understand this audio.
I was surprised when I've heard a Vietnam word out of nowhere. Thanks for mentioning us. That is hitting nail on the head. There are such astronomical chains of coffee shops
I love BBC. Thank you very much. ☺
Colombia 🇨🇴🇨🇴 coffee country 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴☕
Wow I have heard name Viet Nam
As a Colombian and also a coffee lover I'm really amazed to hear this 6 minute English's chapter.
My thoughts: the ability to perceive the smell of coffee is a much an importat part of the experience as drinking it. That's why, using a paper lid you've got from coffee shops chains is weird because they get rid the smell of it, which is something vital.
Thank you BBC learning English.
Vital means very Important.
No one should avoid the vital rule.
Baffles- confusing, don't understand something.
Some question pattern of ielts baffle me mesometimes.
Why you guys dont show the English subtitles for your videos on the screen .. it will help us so much to record the words we don't know so we can learn it later ?
Hi Tarek, most of our videos have subtitles, including this one - but you need to switch them on in the menu bar at the bottom of the screen. Please note, you can also download a PDF transcript from our website www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english/ep-181122
:)) Your video is really easy to starter like me to understand.
By the way, i like the way you pronounce "Vietnam". It's exactly how to pronounce Vietnam like a Vietnamese

Neil
OK, you've had quite a lot of coffee today, haven't you!
Catherine
Just the usual six cups.
Neil
Well, our topic today is the smell of coffee and coffee is also the subject of today's question. The world's biggest producer of coffee is...

Catherine
Right, so it's not Brazil but I bet it's another South American country, so I'm going to go for Columbia. Columbia, is that right?
Neil
We'll have the answer later in the programme by which time, maybe the caffeine will have left your body Catherine. Tim Hayward is a coffee shop owner. He appeared in the BBC Radio 4 programme The Kitchen Cabinet. How important does he say the smell of coffee is?
Tim Hayward, Coffee shop owner
It's absolutely vital, it's the key thing. When you walk in to the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you're getting physiological responses.
Neil
So how important is it?
Catherine
I'm feeling a bit calmer now. Tim Hayward says the smell of coffee is vital. That means it's very important, it's perhaps the most important thing. And he backs this up by saying that it's the key thing. Something that's key is something that is essential, it's really important.
Neil
And he says that when you experience the smell, when the smell hits you, you get a physiological response. This phrase means your body has a reaction to the smell of coffee. Perhaps your mouth begins to water in anticipation. Catherine, when you get a coffee, do you normally have it there or take it away?
Catherine
Well, I usually take it away, although if I'm feeling really in need of a coffee hit, I might have one there and then get another one and take with me.
Neil
Can you describe the container you are given when you have a coffee to go?
Catherine
Yes, it's in a tall paper cup with a lid. And the lid has a hole in it so that I can drink that lovely coffee.
Neil
Don't you think that's a problem? I mean, we know how important the smell is, so what is the effect of the lid on that experience?
Catherine
The effect of the lid?
Neil
Yes. Well here's Tim Hayward again talking about coffee being served with lids.
Tim Hayward
What baffles me is that how many of the large coffee chains actually sell a product in a cup that removes the smell. So you walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue but stop any smell coming up to your nose. That's just weird.
Neil
So what is he describing there?
Catherine
I see now, yes, He's talking about the big coffee chains. A chain is a company that has lots of its stores in towns and cities sometimes around the world. I think we can all think of a few well-known coffee chains. He says that by putting a lid on take away cups, you're actually blocking the smell - that smell that is really important to the coffee experience.
Neil
Yes, and he says that he finds that weird, which is a way of saying he finds it unusual, thinks it's strange, odd. So much so that he says it baffles him. If you are baffled by something, you find it confusing, you can't really understand it. Here's Tim Hayward again.

That was coffee shop owner Tim Hayward. Right before we have another cup of this week's vocabulary, let's get the answer to the question. After Brazil, which country produces most coffee? Is it:
a: Colombia
b: Vietnam
c: Ethiopia
Catherine, you said?
Catherine
I said it was a: Colombia.
Neil
Ah, sorry, no extra coffee for you today! The answer is Vietnam. And now on to the vocabulary we looked at. Take it away Catherine.
Catherine
So the first word was vital, which is an adjective that means very important. And another word with a very similar meaning was key, meaning essential.
Neil
Next we had the phrase physiological responses. Physiological refers to what our bodies do and a response is a reaction.So a physiological response is a reaction your body has to something, like the smell of coffee.
Catherine
Something that baffles you, confuses you, you don't understand it.
Neil
You might find something that baffles you to be weird. This adjective means unusual or strange.
Catherine
And finally, a chain is a group of shops from the same company with the same name.
Neil
Well that is the end of our programe. For more from us, check out Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, UA-cam and our App and of course the website bbclearningenglish.com. See you soon, bye.

vital (important), backs up, key thing (essential), when smth hits you, reacts to smth, anticipation, coffee hit, have it there or take it away, lid, effect of smth, cups remove the smell, it's odd, baffles him.
My question is, "is this an audio podcast?" All I can see is a poster. Not moving and audio playing background.
Bt as far as I can remember they used to write and mark some word and definition and used to explain based on them.
Hello Neil and Catherine. Thanks so much for your lovely and useful lesson. One more additional word I have learn today - to baffle. The rest are known to me.
