The fans of the golden oldie film Star Wars have a 50/50 chance of groaning when a beloved character might die.
There is a 50/50 chance that golden oldies might not groan because they are so healthy.
Wao, he is Phil, the first time I saw, I hear your voice from I learning 6 Minute English everyday before I sleep. Hope you can live until 140 for producing the voice so well
Great to see you all again, lads! Undoubtedly, crafting exceptional content requires a significant amount of time and effort. However, we genuinely desire to have more frequent interactions with you.
Thank you for this kind of videos. This type of videos help me learning english very well. When i saw this sort of episodes i learn new vocabularies. I use these vocabularies in my speech and presantation then my results are good even i think. Thanks for all videos BBC 🥰👌
Greetings from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
Aging is hard and I never want to be a golden oldie. Anyway, I am grateful for this new video.
Thank you so much BBC. greetings from Mexico.
Thank you too!
So, Beatle's song has a 50/50 to be right. When I am hundred ten, would be the remake. It is overpopulation on Earth, the worst problem in 2040 with 10 billion people until now. It has broken into little bits and pieces.
Considering the conditions of quality of life and also the risks of getting so advanced in years, honestly what's the real advantage on this?? Thanks to share!
You make a good point. If you live to an old age, you want to be remain healthy.
rather than thinking of living up to 140 years, one would do well to think WHERE one will go after death, whether "above" or "below"
it s very very nice video, though it is given to us on a plate of gold but it must have been difficult to selected new vocab. from magazine headlines .
Thank you very much.
keep it up good work !
Don't worry, we're here every week - here are the past episodes: th-cam.com/play/PLcetZ6gSk968l1s4WuxwyhiyEUmg5GOZC.html

Golden oldies groan
lovely Beth ❣
Good morning, thank you for providing latest news. Using these vocabulary, I tried to make some example sentences.
1) It's optimistic of you to be able to get through all the troubles, It's a fifty fifty chance.
2) Even if our parents became dementia, we would look after them taking turn. This's because they were born before us and golden oldies.
3) The employees in the Fukushima nuclear power plant have groaned day after day, which's because all electrisity was down in the plant and unebale to take reaction against it. The critical fact have yet continued as of March 11, 2011.
Bye.
Please post longer videos. And long podcast, thank you🎉
Have you seen our box sets? We've got some long videos here: th-cam.com/play/PLcetZ6gSk9692mmNM_kookP3nt7ipAtoI.html
After the words, 'People can live for 140 years because of a safe world,' my heart aches, and I feel an overwhelming urge to cry. It deeply saddens me that we still experience wars in our time. The russian invasion of Ukraine stands as a grim testament to this harsh reality, claiming the lives of more than 23,000 civilians, including 484 innocent children. These individuals have been stripped of their fundamental right to life, as our world remains unsafe as long as such acts of aggression, like the one perpetrated by russia, persist
Hi, lovely Beth❤
Big fan ❣️
I appreciate the source of vocabulary. Thank u for given us more essential learn.Genuinely, I will implement these words to topic-wise. In this video You'r teaching a manner of utmost of efficiency.
I am from India and listen all your podcast and watching all videos
I guess a nice way of setting off a Golden Oldies feat you have to keep doom and gloom at bay, and then you might have 50/50 chance of getting there. :-))
I'm 42, thinking I'd like it all over at 45. No chance I'd want another 100 years of this
Here is example:
Disnep Movies is still better.That is part of golden oldies.When i was a child, i watched that all along the day.But nowdays, desney channel was deleted on the televison channel.We have 50/50 chance for watching again disney on the tv.The day of closing disney, i was groned for deleting disney
It is difficult to says that golden oldies people is extremely groaning because of their grand-children recalled a memoirs then they take a 50/50 chance of growing haply also healthy.
Where is Neil sir?

Great Lesson. By the way, what a lovely woman with the most tender groaning that I've ever seen
What does it mean planet-hopping? I know hop as jump. So is it jumping around the planet? It's still not clear.
Sometimes we use 'hop' to mean go to different places. If you go 'planet-hopping' in the future, it would mean to visit different planets. For now, you could go 'bar-hopping' which would mean to visit many different bars in an evening.
@@bbclearningenglish Thank you for the explanation 🌷🌷🌷
It’s 50/50 I will take a vacation at Australia. I know my son will groan if i don’t take the plan.
Good👍
i am interested in living a long time
There is a 50/50 chance that I might get married with a good man.
The movie Titanic is one of the golden oldies.
My dress will be groaning if I get more weight.
🎉Golden age
One day I want to be a golden oldie So I need to be healthy and happy. Please reduce groans!!!!
Better than 6 mins english
Futurists have predicted that [some] humans will achieve immortality in the 2040s. Personally, I'm looking forward to that kind of future.
I am doing exercise every day to become golden odies in the future.
Who knows when bbc learning was created?
Not 140 years ago, We started about 85 years ago.
@@bbclearningenglish
Is that real ?🤔
Cans someone explain to me in the third headline what it means the phrase: “and go planet-hopping?
It means 'visiting several planets, one after another, in a short space of time'. The phrase 'island hopping' has a similar meaning (but on Earth, not in space 😀)
Low Sound Volume
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
its a great video
I have 50/50 chance of getting a job.
As always only if you are very rich!!! Forget any advanced health help if you are among 98% of population!
I cannot imagine such a thing like living over 60 or 65 years. But, well, there are all kind of weird people on this world 😅
