Yes! We do! :D :D
That's so right on, man. You said it all !
agree
Thank you so much! We are really grateful to hear your kind words! Have you checked out our latest episode of 6 Minute English? :)
For me personally, it is easier to focus when watching than when just listening. So this helps a lot. Thank you guys.
That's really great to hear! For some language learners, seeing people's mouths when they talk makes it easier to understand. Have tried using subtitles on things like 6 Minute English?
Yeah! I agree with you, watching is so better! 😊
Although I'm a bit worried about the key risk caused by the adverse effects of the plastic particles in human blood which can't be filtered out, I'm happy to have learnt these three new words. Many thanks as always. Nadia

One of the key risk currently is we can't filtered out microplastic from the human blood and all this can have adverse effects...

I suppose so. We all during a day at the office use teabag instead of traditional tea in teapot. The tea-bag made of plastic I think melt when it meet water at 100 centigrade degree.
What does particles in this context mean?
We also have the word "filter" in the Russian language. And it is also widely used in various context.
Neil has even painted his own home in the same BBC colour xD What a mad lad/
I love you guys english excellent.
this is the first time i asw Neil, his voice is so young, I use to think Neil is a colleague student🙂
My entire life I've been using "side effects" in the speech. Thanks to you I got to know that "adverse effects" is more widespread.
This channel is excellent to support not only English students, but also the ones who teach English. Could there be a chance to make an agreement with you so we can send you the common doubts and mistakes English students have according to our experience?
Nice
I like Roy due to his excellent smile))
Thank you
You're very welcome. :)

Hi Neil 🙂
I like BBC, it made me improve my English level!
some people drink water in plastic bottles and some pipes are plastic, so why are they surprised?
There's only one thing I can say about this video... LEGIT!!!
What a brilliant thing to say! Thanks! And 'legit' is a great word that deserves to be talked about

I think people have plastic in their hearts! How can they be indifferent to what has been done to Julian Assange all these years? Free Assange! Raise your voices!
Many men, celebrities, famous artists have been involved with Assange for many years. The President of Mexico has suggested that Assange be hosted in Mexico twice... I think this is all beyond us. Anyway, the UK and the US are very cronies 😡
@@brigittesaint-pe2604 , I'm not talking about celebrities, I'm talking about people in the streets. Why they go out against vaccines mandatory but not against censorship, injustice, cruelty, torture?
What happened to you Neil? You seem unwell!
