Neil

Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English. I’m Neil…

Sophie

And I’m Sophie. Neil, what are you afraid of?

Neil

I’m not keen on anything with wings, but I particularly hate moths. They’re disgusting, with their fat hairy bodies and… fluttery wings!

Sophie

Oh, Neil. Moths are completely harmless. They aren’t something to be scared of.

Neil

Yes, they are… They get in my face… and my hair. It makes my flesh creep just thinking about them.

Sophie

If something makes your flesh creep it makes you feel very frightened. Well, I hope you’re going to survive the show today, Neil, because it’s all about animal phobias – and a phobia is a strong and irrational fear. That’s a fear not based on reason.

Neil

OK – I’ll try. Do you have any animal phobias, Sophie?

Sophie

I can’t stand dogs.

Neil

Man’s best friend? How can you not like dogs – they’re cute and loveable. They protect you. They can do tricks!
