Yes! We do! :D :D
That's so right on, man. You said it all !
agree
Thank you so much! We are really grateful to hear your kind words! Have you checked out our latest episode of 6 Minute English? :)
For me personally, it is easier to focus when watching than when just listening. So this helps a lot. Thank you guys.
That's really great to hear! For some language learners, seeing people's mouths when they talk makes it easier to understand. Have tried using subtitles on things like 6 Minute English?
Yeah! I agree with you, watching is so better! 😊
Although I'm a bit worried about the key risk caused by the adverse effects of the plastic particles in human blood which can't be filtered out, I'm happy to have learnt these three new words. Many thanks as always. Nadia

What does particles in this context mean?
I love you guys english excellent.
this is the first time i asw Neil, his voice is so young, I use to think Neil is a colleague student🙂
We also have the word "filter" in the Russian language. And it is also widely used in various context.
I suppose so. We all during a day at the office use teabag instead of traditional tea in teapot. The tea-bag made of plastic I think melt when it meet water at 100 centigrade degree.
Neil has even painted his own home in the same BBC colour xD What a mad lad/
I like Roy due to his excellent smile))
My entire life I've been using "side effects" in the speech. Thanks to you I got to know that "adverse effects" is more widespread.
Nice
Hi Neil 🙂
Thank you
You're very welcome. :)
@@bbclearningenglish :)
I like BBC, it made me improve my English level!
This channel is excellent to support not only English students, but also the ones who teach English. Could there be a chance to make an agreement with you so we can send you the common doubts and mistakes English students have according to our experience?
There's only one thing I can say about this video... LEGIT!!!
What a brilliant thing to say! Thanks! And 'legit' is a great word that deserves to be talked about
in our series The English We Speak! www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/the-english-we-speak_2022

Key risks filtered out
I think people have plastic in their hearts! How can they be indifferent to what has been done to Julian Assange all these years? Free Assange! Raise your voices!
Many men, celebrities, famous artists have been involved with Assange for many years. The President of Mexico has suggested that Assange be hosted in Mexico twice... I think this is all beyond us. Anyway, the UK and the US are very cronies 😡
@@brigittesaint-pe2604 , I'm not talking about celebrities, I'm talking about people in the streets. Why they go out against vaccines mandatory but not against censorship, injustice, cruelty, torture?
Sometimes I think you should filter out the people how have dealed with.
some people drink water in plastic bottles and some pipes are plastic, so why are they surprised?
What happened to you Neil? You seem unwell!

Today's mixture edible oil is key risk to our heart.
It's very hard to filter out arsenic from the water.
I filtered unfaithful friends out from my life.
Filtered out - remove something completely / purify.
Filter out background noise of the video.
Key risks - the most signficant, potential dangers.
Key point - very important point.
Adverse effects - negative unwantent potentialy harmful conseqences or results. Very bad or negative.
