Why do you have one? Well, I overheard you saying your friend Sandra is living in a bubble - so I asked my pal at the museum if I could borrow a sword to help your friend escape! No, Roy - I said 'Sandra lives in a bubble', but it means that she doesn't really accept new ideas and all her friends have the same way of thinking. 'Living in a bubble' is the expression we're looking at in this programme. Ahhh, that makes more sense. I just imagined that might have got stuck in a bubble after washing her hands. Roy, your imagination never ceases to amaze me. You know what we should do? I think we should listen to some examples... Bob and his friends think that climate change isn't real. They live in a bubble. Nelson lives in a bubble. He never tries new food or goes out with new people. Geraldine doesn't want to meet my new friends - she thinks they live in a bubble. This is The English We Speak from BBC Learning English, and we're talking about the expression 'living in a bubble' which is used to describe someone who doesn't listen to people with different ideas, or maybe is a little sheltered from society. I think it's sad when people live in a bubble because they don't get to experience new ideas or have their minds changed. I don't live in a bubble. It's why I like working with you - because you have very different ideas to me and I like to listen to them. You're always wrong, but I still like you. Thanks Feifei - I guess I should take this sword back to the museum. You should. Bye, Roy. Bye.
