BBC 6 Minutes English 2021, Fashion and Shopping (6)

Fashion and Shopping (6)

Our next word was 'sturdy' – something that is sturdy is strong and not easily damaged.

"If you're walking up a mountain you need to wear some sturdy walking boots."

Good advice – if I was going up a mountain, which I'm not.

Next we mentioned 'masculinity'. These are the characteristics that are traditionally thought

to be typical of men. So we sometimes refer to it as being macho! Like:

"Neil went swimming in ice cold water to prove his masculinity."

That I would never do – I'd rather carry a manbag –

despite their hefty price tag – that means 'high price'.

Finally, we also mentioned the word 'inhibitions' – that's feelings of embarrassment that stop you

from doing something. "Neil's inhibitions are stopping him from carrying a manbag."

It's a bag Rob – just a bag! But we've talked enough about this so that's it for

this edition of 6 Minute English. But before you rush off to purchase a designer manbag,

don't forget to visit our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube pages. Bye for now.

Bye.

Good advice – if I was going  up a mountain, which I'm not. Un buon consiglio – se stavo scalando una montagna, cosa che non è. Dobrá rada – ak by som išiel na horu, čo nie som. Гарна порада – якби я йшов на гору, а я ні.
