No, it's not good you'd better have text for the new vocabulary.
@@soniazip1599 Hi, you can find the text for the new vocabulary in the description box and here on our website:
www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english_2023/ep-230727
hey, may I ask a question that we know that "caveat" is a noun, but in this context, you used it as a verb? Is that correct? "....and he caveats it around other political events.."
"he didn't realise which he continues to say in his apology that came out after the fine, so he repeats the apology, and he caveats it around other political events... and he uses humility when he was in the House the day after he paid his fine,"

Thank you BBC 6 minute English.

It might be a faux pas for a public figure if they say something sarcastic in public. You might have to pay a fine, and you will never be able to draw a line under it. So, if you are a public figure, remember to say it with a caveat because then you don't have to take full responsibility
I should start doing it (typing a massage with new words)
Thank you for making this wonderful program and other BBC Learning English programs.
Thank you BBC 6 Minute English...👍
Really love this program, short and concise in 6 Minutes with various interesting topics
Good topic. I agree with that there are many ways of saying sorry to someone. Being sorry is about kindness. I've known many things from here. I think responsible people often say sorry to someone. They know their responsibilities and work on them. If u feel sorry to me i woild hug. Just telling "sorry" shows up that you are not a real sorry. That makes sence in my opinion. Thanks BBC♡
literally half of world population needs to watch this video
Hey guys you are doing very well 👌 I love your style ❤
Lyrics of a song by a famous teenager pop rock music singer and his band here in Brazil.
Lover of poetic books to inspire his songs, he was inspired by a chapter from the bible.
"Even if I speak the language of men and speak the language of angels
without love I would be nothing.
The love is good, the love is good, does not want the evil and is not envious.
Now I see it in part, but soon will see it (Jesus) face to face.
It's just the love, it's just the love, that knows what is trueeee." 🎶🎻🎶🎻🎶🎻

Just BBC programme is magnificent thanks I learn abundant things 😊
This video discusses two types of people who most likely need to say sorry frequently. The first category is public figures who did something wrong or made a faux pas. The second category is those who works in politics. In a nutshell, they are all celebrities and politician. The right way to say sorry is to apologize in a sincere and authentic way but not in a sarcastic or offhand manner. If someone makes an apology without knowing their mistakes, the apology will just justify for their faults and they will only receive more criticism but not draw the line under the problem. I need to add the caveat to this comment that perhaps there are some misunderstandings so you shouldn’t blindly believe this.
Thanks BBC
My summary while listening
There are many ways of saying sorry in English and they all have slightly different meanings. Today's program discusses ways of saying sorry since they can be confusing to use sometimes.
According to Louise Mullany, a professor of sociolinguistics, she was really interested in how people apologize, particularly public figures so she did a lot of research in the workplace, looking at the media and politicians in particular. One thing that really interested her at the time was that many writers stated that we entered the age of an apology. For example, many politicians are called upon to apologize and if they don't, it will be a big faux pas.
Also, Professor Mullany analyzed the apology. Boris Johnson claimed that he didn't know that he was breaking the rules. His apology contained a caveat. Eventually, many people didn't trust him anymore and he couldn't draw a line under the Partygate scandal.
Thanks a lot for presenting this super interesting video. ❤

Although Apologizing press conferences are often held due to causing problems, sometimes sincere apologies can not be found. In such case, maybe it is just for making angry people calm by showing fake apologizing attitude.
Hello Neil hello Beth😊
Hello 😊
It might be a faux pas for a public figure if they say something sarcastic in public
Oh so according to a survey, the average Brits say sorry 8 times per day. But when it comes to public figures, will this be the norm? The answer can be no as apologizing can be faux pas for them and the public often demand a definitely sincere apology.😂
Can you add the translation sentences in the video separately? Because when we want to watch the video, all the subtitles appear at the same time and we cannot see them again.

Hello!
some times the media could destroy a life by a fuapax and make impossible drawing a line under this. for this reason, agents always caveat to public figures avoid making sarcastic against their competitors
The expression draw a line under (something)' has been discussed in the News Review episode: Boris Johnson survives no-confidence vote.
Here's a link to the Boris Johnson episode: th-cam.com/video/Sn1n-x-YGgk/w-d-xo.html

Thanks to BBC WORLD SERVICE PROGRAMME from UZBEKISTAN i’ve been learning so many things and useful vocabulary as well appreciate it🫠
Good evening please can you help me. With the both sentences which is correct please and why ? This is two sentences .
1) everyone know it.
2) everyone knows it.
For me it's the first one because. Everyone= everybody.
And when we see everyone we are talking to more than one person
The correct answer is the second one
When you have in a sentence :every(....)
You'll answer like you have (she/he/it)
I hope you will understand

Why is it 6 minutE ...English - not 6 minutES - 🤔
'6-minute' is an adjective here so we don't add an 's'. For example we say 'a 3-hour film' NOT a '3-hours film' - hope that helps :)
@@bbclearningenglish an adjective - 🙏🏻🤝🏻 - clear. - Thank You! 🌟

(I thought, it's like 6 minutes (of) English))..
Would be better if you use subtitles
