Rob: Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English with me, Rob, and a very beautiful sound…
Jen: Ahhh, the sound of birdsong. Hello, I’m Jennifer and that’s what we’re talking about today – birdsong.
Rob: In Britain, this is the sound of summer – lots of different species – or types – of birds tweeting.
Jen: Tweeting? You mean they are using Twitter – the social media site?!
Rob: Of course not! Tweeting is a way of describing the sounds birds make. We sometimes say they chirp or trill too – making short, high-pitched sounds.
