Teaching a second language is difficult. These videos are for fluent speakers. As much as a like them, I wish bbc would think a bit more about elementary learning; very limited communication skills, needs more visual aid, don’t have a lot of vocab, depend a lot on repetition and so on. Thanks.
haha, thanks for your videos for helping me know a lot about news headlines. I really like to do shadowing practice after you guys to learn British accent. Actually it's the first time I see Neil and Beth on screen, and previously I listened to pod cast of BBC 6mintue learning English channel as a morning routine, and never imagined what the two hosts look like. So lovely and amiable~

Goblin mode - a way of doing something in a kind of unpleasant, embarrassing way. It describes when people are lazy, greedy, and selfish. So they go goblin mode. They stay in goblin mode. Goblin mode is the Oxford Word of the year that reflects the mood of the past twelve months.
1) Speak to (v) - reflect. Goblin mode speaks to the times. It means the word Goblin mode reflects the current times. Exp: The climate crisis speaks to the failure of governments for decades. It means that the climate crisis reflects the failure. The election result speaks to the population's anger with the government.
2) Over (adj) - bored of something that has been happening for a long time. You are over something. It means you are tired, bored, and unenthusiastic about something. So you've had enough of it, you are fed up. Exp: I am so over World Cup. Maybe in the beginning I was enthusiastic, but now I've had enough of it. We've been planning this party for ages! I'm so over it.

Exp: Oxford Dictionary unveils 2022 word of the year "Goblin mode". The new company logo will be unveiled this afternoon.
During the pandemic time, people were forced to be lazy with nothing to do. Therefore, even after that time many people still stay in goblin mode with lazy, greedy, and shameless behavior. The word "Goblin mode" was chosen to be the Word of the year that speaks to the times. You need to be over this mode to back to normal life activities. That means you are bored of doing nothing and starting to back to work like you used to be. The word Goblin mode was unveiled by Oxford Dictionary to become the 2022 Word of the Year.
Many thanks for this kind video.
