Finn: Hello, I’m Finn. This is 6 Minute English and I’m joined this week by Neil. Hello Neil.
(Monkey sounds)
Finn: Err, Neil?
(Monkey sounds)
Finn: Neil, are you OK?
(Monkey sounds)
Finn: Actually that wasn’t Neil, you’ll be glad to know, he is safe and sound here in the studio with me.
Neil: Hello. Yes, that wonderful sound you just heard was in fact a gelada – a kind of monkey – which we’ll be hearing more from later in the programme.
Finn: Yes. Could the gelada monkey provide an important clue about the development of human language? But first, as always, we have a question. Neil – could you please tell me what geladas eat?
a) fish
b) grass
c) ice-cream
Neil: Well, I can see you’re trying to trap me with ice-cream here, because the name of the monkey sounds like the Italian word for ice-cream. So, I’m not that stupid, I’m going to go for ‘b’, grass.
Finn: Wonderful knowledge of Italian there Neil. Don’t worry I’m not trying to make a monkey out of you – I’m not trying to make you look stupid. Now let’s listen to the gelada monkey again. How would we describe that sound?
